RESOLUTIONS. Adopted by Official Board of Methodist Church. Decatur, Ind. In behalf of the membership of our church, we desire to express our apj preciation of the work of Dr. C. G. Hudson, who wap our pastor during the years 1903 to 1905, and to extend j to Mrs. Hudson in her hour of sorrow and bereavement our sympathy and love. S Dr. Hudson was a man called of God He had a message and he fearlessly i gave it to his people. His life squared i with his teaching He was pastor, counselor and friend. As our pastor, Dr. Hudson labored to the limit of his strength, carrying mes sages of joy and good cheer to the sick and the infirm; bringing words of 1 comfort and inspiration to the shut-ins of a church membership scattered over our entire city, I He was a broad-minded, tolerant man. ever ready to look at problems from the questioner’s view point. He met men where they labored and his hand of friendship was as eager to grasp the grimy hand of toil as that of the business or professional man. As we revipw his work in Decatur, we marvel that he could accomplish so much and perform the multitude of duties incident to a church as large 1 as ours while suffering from physical infirmities. I Our explanation and belief is that that Father whom he served, gave him strength for his weakness and food in abundance for his soul according to his needs. Dr. Hudson was a ripe scholar whose judgment was backed by a broad knowledge of men and things. Hit sermons were thoughtful and pure They showed learning without pedant-: , ry; they were earnest, forceful presentations of great spiritual truths. In the pulpit he appealed to the intellect and the judgment of his hear- ■ eis and never resorted to dramatical or spectacular methods of presenting , the Word. i His work in the pulpit was preacliing Christ and Him crucified. j Dr. Hudson was a minister and minI istered unto us; a preacher who gave I us spiritual food for thought and reflection; a pastor who like the Good 1 Shepherd, watched over his flock with ! tender care and solitude, but above all, he was a man in the broadest and best sense of the term; a man whose life »*t two years among us under that fierce light of criticism that constant ly beats upon the pulpit revealed no spot or blemish. We have the kindest, tenderest recollections of Dr. Hudson and his loyal wife and we pray that our heavenly Father will comfort and' sustain Mrs. Hudson in her bereavement and that with the consciousness that her com panion was a “good and faithful servant," the weight of whose life was directed to the upbuilding of God's kingdom here on earth, she will know that , to him hath come the divine command, “Enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.” C. L. WALTERS, JAMES T. MERRYMAN, Committee. - o — For bargain, don't forget Brokaw's closing out sale Saturday. Deputy Prosecutor France at Columbia City has started a campaign against the D. D. T's —Delinquent dog taxes There are said to be plenty of them. This crtisade follows the one against mad dogs, also plentiful last summer. t Today was all souls’ day and a day very appropriately celebrated by the Catholic church throughoutthe world. It is a feast always following that of all saints and when the deceased relatives, friends and other members are remembered by the church living. Masses this morning were celebrated at 6 and 8:30.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE HORSE. 1 A colt unbroken is worth little more than nothing; Improperly broken, it is worth still less. It Is harder to break a horse that has been tampered with by unskilled hands than one never touched by the hand of man. Often it is impossible to rid an individual of faults thrust upon it, when a youngster, by an educator who has had the necessary experience. Many times horses have thus | been spoiled for life. P. C. Masterson, the horse trainer and educator, is a man thoroughly experienced and equipped for this undertaking. Horses placed .in his I charge can be placed there with the i fullest confidence that they will rei ceive the careful and skillful atteni tion, made possible by years of ex perience. Now is the time to have I colts broken. Don't wait till warm | weather, as you can now get the ( handled with more attention. Masterson is also a developer of speed, and has met. with splendid success,in this line. In fact, this is his main business, of which the breaking and educating of colts is a very important branch. Experience has taught Masterson that horses trained for speed should be started early in the year. When a horse goes a “good ■ corking mile” every muscle and fibre in its make-up is put td the most tense exertion. For this much power of lung and muscle i» required. To get this power a good supply of systematic jogging is. unavoidably necessary. During the racing season many good prospects are turned out on pas- ; ture because they were put to the ■ test of their speed and endurance before thay had sufficient preparation. The horse should be' built up in the 1 winter in order to develop speed in the spring. Any attempt to get speed 1 without be met by disaster. The subject best fitted for ha:d campaigning is the prospect well wintered. Masterson is well equipped for such wintering. Training barn at Steele’s park. Address P. C. Master- | son, Decatur, Ind.
