A MIDNIGHT DUET — x Was the Subject of Rev. Crabb’s Sermon at Christian Church Last Night A VOCAL DUET Was Sung by Mrs. Crabb and Miss Shroll—lnterest is Growing After the usual song service and scripture reading and prayer at the Christian church last night a beautiful duet “They Belong to Him," was sung by Mrs. Crabb and Miss Schroll. The subject of the minister’s remarks as previously anncunced was “A’Midnight Duet.” This was a strictly scriptural subject and referred to the singing of Paul and Silas in the Philippian jail where they had been imprisoned with their feet in stocks for preaching the gospel. There was no i complaining by these faithful preachers, but they rejoiced that they were [considered worthy to suffer for the cause of Christ, and instead of bemoaning their sad fate, they sang songs of praise to God and offered up prayer and thanksgiving to his name. The minister contrasted this conduct with that of many modern Christians, who seem to think if they have ittended church service two or three times in as many months and have doled out the smallest change possible to pay church expenses, that they have done wonders. And if after a few years of this sort of what they call Christian work, the church hasn’t grown to great proportions and become strong and attractive and fashionable that it is time for them to desert it and seek a bigger church, to get into “sassiety” to be with the crowd. By the same sort cf reasoning every father and mother who has not been successful financially —not able to provide for their children all the comforts and luxuries their neighbors have would be justified in desqjting their families — turning them over to the tender merces of the world —but Paul and Silas were not made of this sort of stuff. Their religion was genuine, not for show, not for worldly honor, not for i worldly enjoyment, but the kind that reached o\er into eternity, and they sang songs in prison and God opened their prison door and their imprisonmet resulted in the salvation of a whole family. The ordinary modern Christian would make a very indifferent martyr. The lesson of the midnight duet is an important one. If we are Christ’s professed followers "let us ask ourselves how would persecution of the kind Paul and Silas endured affect us today? dome take offense at a mere word and think it time to quit wonk on account of it. Some grow' weary in well doing very early in their Christian life and think themselves justified in stopping altogether. This is all wrong. God is measuring us day by day. If we do the best we can He will take care of results. Great seriousness and earnestness characterized the service. Before the invitation hymn was sung Mrs. Crabb sang a touching solo. Tonight the subject of the sermon wilf be “The Prodigal’s Father.” Services begin at 7:15 and you are very cor- j dially invited.

While the last of the world’s series cf base ball games was going on at Detroit yesterday afternon, the west end sluggers and the north end champions were battling for supremacy in Decatur, the latter winning by a score of 17 to 10. The contest was replete with sensational plays. A letter from Geo. Tricker at Jackson, Ohio, state that on account of the demurage on cars in the mining district, there is thousands of tons of coal in the small sizes to be given away at once at the cost of loading. This small coal is generally used for steam and every farmer this community should lay in a supply for years to come as a whole car load can be laid down at your station at a nominal cost. If interested, write, wire or see Mr. Tricker, who will be at home soon. Mrs. Arthur Suttles, of Decatur, and Miss Charlotte Birnie, of Portland, Me., who is stopping with Miss Evelyn Walter, were honored at a very charming and informal needlework party yesterday afternoon given j by Miss Margaret Vesey at her home ; in Thompson avenue. There z were several things planned to entertain' the guests so that very little sewing! was’ accomplished. The rooms were ' bright with chrysanthemums cut and growing in pots, and at supper the guests found the table lovely with these autumn flowers, and at each cover here lay a shaggy blossom by way of souvenir of the happy afternoon. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. o .— — BITTEN BY A MONKEY. Sad Plight of a Keeper in the Bronx Zoo, New York. New York, October 14.—ohn Reilly, a keeper in the primates house at the Bronx Zoo, was badly mauled by Jacko a big South American monkey, who sems to be a composite of a chimpanzee and a baboon, and who has been particularly savage of late because cf a scandal in his family. Reilly was in Jacko’s cage cleaning out the straw w’hen the monkey jumped on to his left arm and sank its teeth into the flesh of his right arm. In tearing his arm away Reilly ripped the skin down the elbow to the wrist; then the monkey grabbed the keper’s left thumb in his mouth and bit it to the bone. Barney Custcn, a cleaner in the house, attracted by Reilly's yells, ran into the cage and choked Jacko into insensftnlity. Reilly was taken to the Fordham hospital. Two small arteries had to be sewed up an dthe wounds were cauterized, after which he was taken to his home. o *************** * What home cigar do you want * * today? They are all good.

HARVEY HICKOX STILL IN JAIL The fact llial Harvey nickox is in jail awaiting trial on a charge of stealing Gecrge DeWald’s automobile pre--1 vented him from appearing in court Wednesday morning and also saved him from being adjudged in contempt of court. Young Hickox, who is a minor, brought suit, through his fathI er, in the superior court against J. I. Van Tochine to recover a motor cycle and the- superior court jury was ordered to report Wednesday moning, to try the case. When the cause was called. McAdams & Hartzell, attorneys for Hickcx, informed the court that their client was not present and asked the aid of the court in securing his presence. “Well, if he doesn’t show’ up here, we’ll adjudge him in contempt of court,” said Judge Heaton, who was unaware that the youth was in jail. "But our client is in jail,” interposed one of the attorneys. It was contended the the court could issue a subpoenae directing the sheriff to bring the prisoner into court, but Judge Heaton could find no authority for such a proceeding and continued the hearing of the case until Nov. 14. —Fort W’ayne News.
