A GOOD SUMMARY Is That of Past Year in Pastorate of the Rev. D. A. J. Brown. * a •! A NOBLE AIM That of “Winning Souls’’— 139 Conversions During Past Year. Rev. D. A. J. Brown left Bobo Tuesday for the annual session of the North Indiana conference, which is held at Kokomo this week. The conference will continue into next week, as there is so much business to be done. Brother Brown has closed a very successful year on Bobo circuit, in fact one of the best years the circuit has ever had. The total number of conversions was 139, of the real old Pentecostal kind, and besides this 101 have been received into the church, full connection, and thirty remain on the probation list. Eighty-four were baptized this year, and taking all things into consideration, it is a very large year’s work on a circuit. Rev. Brown is preaching in the fourtli year of his ministry, and as a preacher and minister, all four years have been a success. In each place the people desire his return, and do not want to give him up.

The last quarterly conference voted unanimously for his return to the work for another year. Other places have offered extra inducements to get this man, but the question of money is not all with him. It is where he can do the most good that causes him to go here or there. He says, “My aim is to win «ouls for Christ,” and he does. FATHER IS DEAD D. E. Lauferty of Waring Glove Company Suffers a Bereavement. DIED LAST NIGHT At Huntington — Eighty Years of Age—Burial in Fort Wayne. David E. Laufferty of Huntington, a member of the Waring Glove company of this city, and well known here where he often visits In the interest of his business enterprises, suffered a keen loss Tuesday night at 8 o’clock In the death of his father, Samuel Laufferty, aged eighty years, whose death- resulted from infirmities of old age. Until about two and a half years ago Mr. Laufferty had been a resident of Fort Wayne at intervals for the past fifty-nine years, going there in 1852, shortly after his arrival from Germany, his native country. He was born in German June 15, 1830, coming to this country shortly after with his parents. At intervals Mr. Laufferty left Fort and engaged in business at Warsaw, Three Rivers, Mich., and Auburn, Ind., being a pioneer clothing merchant in the former city. About two years and a half ago he moved his residence to Huntington, where his son is located, and had since made his home in that city. Surviving relatives of the deceased include three children —Eva Lauferty and David E. Lauferty of Huntington, and Mrs. L. Manheim of New York City. He was preceded in death by his wife by thirty years. The body will be shipped to Fort Wayne Thursday morning, arriving over the Wabash at 9:41 o’clock. Funeral services will be held from the Jewish temple and Interment will occur at the Jewish cemetery in Fort Wayne. GETS LIFE IMPRISONMENT. Anderson, Ind., April s—(Specials—(Special to Daily Democrat) —James Walker, charged with killing two policemen at Alexandria March 4th pleaded guilty and the Jury returned a verdict for life imprisonment. He was sentenced to Michigan City prison today. The annual congregational meeting of the Presbyterian church will be held this evening, the business session beginning at 7:30 and continuing for about a half hour, after which the program will be rendered, Including the burning of the mortgage.

TO BURN MORTGAGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE quite a number were received In the church. Rev. Hott came a youtrr man, Just from the seminary, and ills sad death greatly’ endeared him to the church. Rev. E. A. Allen, from 1888 to 1893, a young man. Just completing his course In Lane Seminary, proved to be the man that would Just fit in meeting all the requirements of a Christian minister. During his five years of pastorate the church had an average of twenty-five new members each year. The church, for the first time, assumed «elf-support. Then came Rev. W. I. Alexander, just from the seminary, serving two years. During his pastorate a remarkable revival took place', in which 200 joined the church. Rev. Alexander’s visits to our church and city are always of the most welcome. Rev. John F. Horton was the next pastor, serving for two and one-half years. During his pastorate the parsonage was remodeled, and other substantial improvements made. Fallowing Mr. Horton came the pastorate of Rev. H. C. Duckett, another young man just from the seminary, who proved to be a very devoted worker, and his pastorate was very successful. A church debt of 81,000 was paid off during hfs stay of three years, 1898-1901. In June, 1902. Rev. Allen was again called, this being his second pastorate, serving little more than three years. During this time he planned for a new church, offering as an inducement to pay one-tenth of the entire cost of the building, of whatever plan they might select. The result was the present beautiful church, building, erected where the old church stood, corner of Adams and Second streets,.at a cost of about $17,000. Rev. Allen is now pastor of the Presbyterian church at Harvard. Illinois, where he is busy erecting a new church building, “a much larger and harder job than ever." Just after the completion of the new church Rev. Alfred Fowler of Chicago was called. He served from ■November, 1905, to November, 1907, proving himself to be one among the most competent preachers in the history of the church. The last of all the pastors to-serve this church was Rev. Richard Spetnagle, a very capable and earnest Christian minister, serving very successfully two years, and resigning to take charge of the district management of the Anti-Sa-loon league, with headquarters at South Bend, Ind. At present and for the past three months, the church has been without a pastor. Paying of the Debt. A debt which has been accumulating for several years and amounting to about $3,000, worrying the advisory board of the church for a long time, was finally settled by presenting the matter In a concise statement, printed -and mailed to each member of the church, stating the exact indebtedness and appealing to them for help. A subscription was started, and with a liberal response, not only the debt, but an assessment for street improvements, which was afterward assessed, amounting to $287, was also paid, and tonight an announcement made by the conqmittee on arrangements in connection with the regular annual congregational meeting, announces there will be a program rendered and the mortgage, which has been held against the church for so many years, will be burned. No col lection or subscription will be taken. o TO UNDERGO OPERATION. L. R. Blossom, a welt known Willshire resident, also known to many here, left yesterday afternoon with his cousin, Thomas S. Perkins, fcr Ann Arbor. Mich., where he will enter a hospital there and on next FYiday submit to an operation for gall stones. Mr. Blossom has been in declining health for some length of time, everything known to medical science that was thought woulß affect a cure having been tried, but to no avail. So the only thing that remains which may mean to him recovery is the operation, and which he bas been advised by his physicians to undergo. They left yesterday afternoon over the G. R. & I. and immediately following the operation of Friday Mr. Perkins will notify the relatives and friends of his condition. o East Buffalo Market East. Buffalo, N.
