Ralph Amrine spent Saturday at : his home at DeGraff, Ohio. Interurban car number three came out this morning spick and span in its new Easter suit —a new coat of paint and varnish, both inside and . outside. “If I was in love with a girl, and if ' I knew tiiat my marriage to her would result in the entire breakdown of the i navy, if not of the government itsel f , , I’d marry her anyhow. When regula- ( tions interfere with the course of true , love, there is only one thing to do— , love ” Josephus Daniels, secretary of < the navy, said this when he announced that Ensign Joseph E. Austin is to ; be reinstated in the navy. Ensign , Austin was in Hawaii with his ship He fell in love, married the girl of ( his choice, was dismissed from the , service for so doing, appealed to the . former administration of the navy, and ( his appeal was turned dojvn. Then the j case was laid before Mr. Daniels, who , approved a bill for Austin’s reinstate- , ment. The bill passed at the last ses- , siort. | Novel methods and equipment are being used in laying a submerged pipe , line across the Narrows to convey wa- . ter from Brooklyn to Saten Island. ] The distance from shore to shore i- . about 10,000 feet and the line extends , across the busiest lanes of traffic to and from the port of New York. In . some places the depth of water is as great as 74 feet. The pipe line is made up of 36-inch cast iron pipe in 12 foot ( lengths and provided with flexible joints. It is laid in a trench dredged out of the bottom of the channel and is to be covered over as soon as completed. The ingeninous method of laying the pipe is shown by an illustration in the April Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Mrs. C. H. Colter and daughter, Leah, spent the day in Fort Wayne. Dr. Fred Patterson is confined to Ills home on North Second street, suffering from a severe attack of lagrippe. The Ben Hurs will meet at 7:JO o’clock this evening instead of Friday evening. on account of the tabernacle services. This will be the last Monday night meeting. ’Squire Wash Kern of St. Mary’s township has resigned as justice as the peace, on account of heart trouble, and has turned over his dockets and papers to 'Squire G. W. Kintz of this township and city, who will attend to the business. C. A. Thompson of Lincoln, Neb., who is here for a visit with his mother, Mrs. Katharine Thompson, and other relatives, met with an accident at Monroe yesterday, while cranking his brother-in-law’s automobile. The bone of his right wrist was broken. Three bids for the purchase of the lumber used in the tabernacle were received at the C. J. Lutz office Saturday, the time for the receipt of the same, expiring at 4 o’clock. The executive committee will meet this evening at seven o’clock at the Smith Ki Bell office when the matter will be closed. The delegation headed by the Honeywell party going to Ossian tonight will leave the tabernacle at 5:45 prompt, and all those who can find time to join the party will be welcomed in the delegation. Don’t forget the time, and it is requested that all who can, get out your machine hnd help swell the crowd. Mrs. Bernard Voglewede called at this office this morning and inform\l u sthat the statement published one day last week about the fire which occurred at their home was not true in the respect that one of the children set the closet on fire. Mrs. Voglewede stated the only person upstairs at the lime of the fire was her six-months-old babe. The Honeywell party will go to Ossian this evening to conduct a special service. It is reported that there is a probability that after the five weeks’ campaign at New Castle, Ind., which follows the meeting here, the party, with the exception of Rev. Honeywell, will conduct a revival at Ossian for a month. It is said the matter will be definitely decided this evening. Postmaster J. W. Bosse reports letters and cards remaining uncalled for at the Decatur postoffice for the following. When calling for these letters and cards please say, “advertised:” Letters: Conrad Reiter, W. S.

The company is located at Huntington, where they have been for eight years. He comes recommended by the Commercial club of that city as a high class business man. His duty here at this time is to call at each house and explain the difference between a hand-made and machinemade umbrella. Later his line will be placed on sale in the stores. Tomorrow evening the seventeenth episode of "The Perils of Pauline” will be given at the Crystal theater. This is a wonderful series of romance and danger and each episode is complete. In connection with this a two reel Selig comedy entitled “Sweedie and the Hypnotist” will be given. Tonight show comprises a Kalem two reel eature entitled “The Mystery of the Yellow Sun-bonnet” and a Vitagraph comedy entitled “The Athletic Family”. The price of admission is five cents to all. In the April Woman’s Home Companion Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of the Broadway Tabenracle in New York City, writes an interesting Easter sermon in which he takes up the subject of immortality. He says that the secret of Paul’s assurance of life after death sprang out of the quality of life which he lived. Os the certainty or uncertainty of life after death Dr. Jefferson writes in part as follows: “If we are not certain*it may be because we are living at too low a level. If we live for pleasure or for money or for fame,' then the spiritual realities must of necessity become nebulous and vague. To feel that we are immortal we must live like immortals. Gazing constantly into the trivial blinds the. eyes to the splendor of the eternal, and working always for fading wreaths robs the heart of its belief in the crown of glory. God breathes assurance only into the hearts which are open to him. To those who give themselves wholeheartedly to the service of mankind in the spirit of his Son, he communicates not only peace and joy, but an unconquerably conviction that when work here is finished, to die is gain.’ — ■ FOR.

FROM LIFE TO ETERNITY .. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) 3. The third incomprehensible thing 18 God’s great love to a lost and ruined world and your indifference and scorn and repudiation of that love. I can understand “eternity" somewhat. I can in a measure grasp "space" but I cannot fathom or understand or comprehend the love of God. 1 wish we had fluent tongues to tell in every language the story of Jesus and His love. Oh that we had trumpet tongues to make the message peal through heaven and earth. “That God so loved etc.” Oh for a thunder voice to speak it. Oh for a lightning pen to write it athwart the heavens that God has reconciled this world unto Himself by the gift of His Son. 1 cannot command the lightning and the thunder, but here are your lives and tongues. Go live it and tell it tomorrow and all the tomorrows of the future in your places of business, my life and tongue and God knows how I have tried to live it, earnestly, prayerfully live it. And I have tried to tell it. Oh God forgive me that I did not tell it better—but friends I can’t tell it. It Is beyond my power. I overcome by it. I feel like the poet as he labors to tell of hat love. Oh could I speak the matehless worth. Oh could I sound the glories forth That in my Savior, shine. I’d soar and touch the heavenly strings, and vie with Gabriel as he sings in notes almost divine. Id speak the character He bears and all the matchless love he wears exalted on His throne. But God loved ns so much that He gave His only begotten son to come and suffer and die in our stead as a substitute for us, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Shall we render Him no return? Shall we banish such love from our hearts? Oh, the heights and the depths of our ingratitude and infamy if we scorn the love of such a Savior and if we exalt Him not to His rightful place as king of our hearts and lives. God forbid that one soul —who has heard the story of the cross should be guilty of these things. Sunday Morning. Attending Sunday school at an early hour, the faithful church soers felt more free to attend the services on Sunday morning at the tabernacle and an increase in the attendance was readily apparent. Following the song service, Rev. Rilling offered the opening prayer and Mr. Clase sang a beautiful solo, “Elijah’s God Still Lives Today.” Rev. Honeywell took for his text, Romans 9:3, and his subject, “For 1 Could Wish that 1 Were Accursed from Christ and My Brethren.” With the understanding that the book of Romans is quite difficult to understand Rev. Honeywell gave three hints that would help in reading the book: “Be willing to let the Bible mean what it means; Take in account the thought of the entire book; Take in account the thought of the author had when writing the book.” Like most all Bible characters the one great work of Paul was the saving of souls, and writing on salvation. Paul had a passion for souls and the foundation of his success was his faith through prayer. The people of Decatur are beginning io realize but there is not enough prayer. Moses had such a passion for souls that he refused to let God destroy his countrymen, offering to become one cf them if God should turn down his plea. People of Decatur, don’t let go, get down on your knees and pray to God for the strength and courage to enter into this last week with the thought of making it a real revival. You will never realize what it means to have a revival until you are willing to rely on the strength of God. There is xi great revival coming. Decatur is bound to have what is needed here most, and when it comes it will be the result of Divine help. The wonders God will do will so arouse this city that all the old sinners will have to sit up and take notice. At the close of the sermon Rev. Honeywell asked all the men that would pledge themselves as personal workers or do anything possible to make this week a real revival in Decatur, and nearly every man in the tabernacle walked forward and received the blessing from the evangelist in his closing prayer. Sunday Afternoon. True to his promise in every re spect. Rev. Honeywell put good, sound gosped facts before hundreds of men in his sermon of yesterday afternoon Facts that would convince a cigar “Indian,” that he was either in the right or the wrong. The tabernacle slowly but surely filled to the doors and the main streets resembled an open air garage, with cars from miles around. A general good feeling prevailed and every one united in making the song service a ringing su/cess. Upecial music during the song scrv ice was furnished by the double quar-

' tet in "Down in the Licensed Saloon," and “Brewers’ Big Horses,” and a duet by Mr. Clase and Mr. McCombe. Rev. McCombe offered the opening prayer and after a song from the book, Rev. . Honeywell turned the pounding inaI chine guns pellmell Into the audience ' before him. Fighting The Tiger. More than 2,000 men and boys heard Rev. Honeywell deliver his 1 "booze” sermon Sunday afternoon. That the drink habit is productive of moral, mental, physical and spiritual ruin and that the manufacture and sale of liquors is unwarranted and should be opposed by all communities , was the stand of the evangelist in his hour’s address. “The test of an industry is the best if it betters or cheapens the raw material which it uses for the finished product. Grist mills make flour and meal of higher value than are the wheat and corn of which they are made. Digs sav.’ed into boards, laths, and shingles are enhanced by the work of the saw mill. “The raw material of the saloon is the American boy. To keep the saloon industry going each year 200,000 of these boys will he sent reeling and vomiting into drunkard's graves and a drunkard’s hell. In a generation over 2,000,000 young men and boys are ground in the grist o ( this mill. The Finished Porduct. “Tell me’ men, is the finished product better than the raw material? No The saloon is the only institution we permit in our cities that is permitted to take the raw material of the town and make it into something more nearly worthless than when it was taken. “The saloon destroys character. Character gives men control over their appetites and over their powers. Christianity is character and character is capital. Character is what makes it possible for you to get cred it at the store. Character is what a man is in the dark. Christianity is the climax of character. The man who builds character is greater than he who builds a railroad, or a factory or any other material thing. “God has nothing against the man who makes money and uses it wisely But if your purpose is to get money by rascally methods and then to hog all the money you get, I pray you may die in the poor house. If you maae your money at the cost of principles of righteousness, you will have to answer forf it before the judgment bar of God. Having A Good Time. “I have Known men to go out into a town of evenings filled wiyt booze and the devil, go tp the home of her whose doors opens into hell, have their heals broken in a drunken brawl, and in the early morning hours go home to their wives and children reeling and staggering and saying they had had a good time. “Everywhere I go I meet blear-eyed men, whom I ask why they drink whiskey. “They answer that they drink because it is healthy, because it keeps them cold in the summer and hot in the winter. This is untrue. Alcohol drives the blood nearer the surface of the skin and on a warm day the sun shines on it and makes the man hotter. In the winter the cokl air makes it colder than it would if there had been no alcohol. “The old-fashioned storekeepers used to kefep on hands home distilled whiskey that made a man silly when he got too much. The whiskey of today makes a man a fiend who goes home and kills his wife or murders his mother. It is impossible today to get an honestly distilled bottle of whiskey in a saloon in the Uniter States. The whiskey of today contains coiiineal and alum, and dogwood and other poisons. Hog Cholera. “There never was a case of hog cholera in the country until they began using drugs and poisons in whis-key-making. The poison gets into the mash, it is fed to the hogs and they get the cholera. If you geniemen think you can put into your stomachs safely that which kills a hog, you are at liberty to do so, but the fellow who does so is a fool. “Beer is impure although people claim it is manufactured from hops. Not enough hops are raised in the entire country to furnish the beer that is drunk in New York While the output of beer is rapidly increasing the output of hops is decreasing and we export as much hops as we import. The man with enough sense to stay out of an insane asylum knows that the brewer, the jobber, and the saloon keeper cannot make money cn hop made beer by selling a large schooner at. 5 cents, “Beer you drink today is made of sulphite of lime for a cleanser, tartaric acid as a preservative, citric acid for a flavor, benzeic acid for an antiseptic, tannic acid as bleacher, calciu- ■ mate of sulphite for a p/ servative. • glucose for a sweetner, and junip.T . berries as an antidote for sal tic acid. . Government investigations prove there has not been any pure beer marie m ■ the United States for ten years.

Nourishment Joke. “I can get from a can of condensed '■ beef as much nourishment on the end r of a pen knife as there Is In 750 gal- '■ lons of beer. You have to strain 750 >• gallons of beer through your stomach ® to get as much nourishment as there is in a pound and a half of beef steak. “Men drink because of the ulcocol. 3 It affects persons differently accordg ing to their temperaments. Sanguine persons have the liquor go to their . heads and they reel about an account of the temporary attack of partial loj comotcr ataxia. They furnish the 200j 000 men who are reported to die an--8 nually because of drunkenness. g “Pbilegmatic persons are effected in the liver and the kidneys so that they ( are not noticeably drunk but they die sooner or later from a hob-nailed 11 v- , er or from Bright's disease. 1 j “Alcohol destroys the red corpuscles 8 so they are unable to carry away the e poison. It colects, the drinker gets . hog-jowled, and you say he is healthy. Not so. If you would smell his breath you could tell, because it is bad enough s to drive out a den of skunks. Ninetyfour per cent of the drinkers who are ! operated upon, die of blood poison. ( “A chain of five links connects the I dying drunkard with the Christian voter. There are the drunkard, the saloon, the law, the legislator, and the voter. If the Lord sends to hell the drunkard he will also send to hell the Christian that votes for the saloon, or my Bible is not true.” 5 Saturday Night. 1 Apparantly in an effort to prove i to Rev. Honeywell and his party that > the people are stickers of the best . kind and can be church goers if they want to, the crowds at the even- . ing services have never fallen be- - low the standard. There is, no doubt . a great per cent of the attendance - near by but they all have the spirit t and it. certainly is making a splendid showing for the community. Music i hath it’s charms whether produced by j young or old talent, and Mr. Clase, i long -ago proved his ability in leading i either age in the most inspiring and - interesting song services ever heard in this part of the state. The Junior i Choir sang themselves into fame on - Saturday night and mastered songs r that the Senior Choir have been using, 1 Little Martha Sellemeyer, daughter of ■ J. O. Sellemeyer. stepped to the plat- > form and in a delightful clear voice i sang, “Since Jesus Came Into My - Heart.” The audience delighted and r called for more and Martha sang the chorus the second time. A meeting without a special selection by some i member of the members of the party I would not be a meeting and the audi- ■ etice was more than pleased to hear ! Mr. Clase assisted by Mrs. Clase sing i “Oh, Make Me Clean.” Just before the sermon Mr. McCombe was overflowing with Irish 1 wit and his usual good nature, and in order that every body feel on good I terms with those near them, he asked : that all present shake hands with those on their left and right and there ■ followed a warm handshaking all i over the tabernacle. Lsing the statei ment made by Pilate "What shall I I do with Jesus, who is called Christ. ” t “This same question is put before the i multitudes today and your answer is ■ anxiously awaited. I believe there i is a Hell where the sinner will reI ceive everlasting punishment and I also believe there is a Heaven where i peace and happiness greets the rel penter, the choice is put up to you, . what will it be, Heaven or He’d? • Your chances in the Kingdom cf God i depends entirely on your acceptance i of Jesus Christ. Reject Him and God i will reject you. accept Him and God will welcome you in to the happiness . and peace of His Kingdom. Yon might profess Christianity and be a ■ faithful church member, but.all your good work wont amount to shucks if you reject Jesus Christ.” The sermon was one of the strongest Mr. McCombe has yet delivered in this city and as the messenger of : God spoke it seemed that God was standing on the platform and imporing the people to accept Jesus before it

was too late. After a short prayer, j the appeal was made and with the I assistance of the willing personal . workers, several walked forward and. ) gavethemseives to Jesus Christ, ( Saturday Afternoon. s One of the greatest treats ever enjoyed or ever to be enjoyed by the people of Decatur and from miles away . was the asembly of Sunday Schools , in the afternoon meeting held at the . tabernacle. Young and old from town ■ and out of town joined their school . delegation and swelled the crowd to . one that presented a sight that will . long be remembered. The influence Mr. Honeywell and his party poss- , esses, reached far into the outskirts • of the county and all the delegations i from out of town were as well re’pre- . sented as those from the town schools. With all the seats outside of the choir ! taken the assembly was a mass of glowing colors, happy faces, and banners and flags of every description, waved out before the happy faces cf the hundreds of loyal Sunday •’School members. At the opening of the meeting the Band Boys played several selections of first class entertaining music and then Mr. Clase had each delegation stand and sing “Since Jesus Cam a Into My Heart.” Members of the Mt. Pleasant, Concord, Pleasant Mills, Baptist, Presbyterian, Christian, Evangelical. United Brethren, and Methodist Sunday Schools took an active part in the opening services. Mr. Clase was unable to locate the Methodists at first and at his request their pastor Rev. Stephenson, assisted him in a duet which met with the approval of all present and a roaring applause followed Mr. McCombe being Irish himself could not rest until all the Irish members had joined him in singing the chorus. After the asembly had stood and repeated the Lord's Prayer, Mr. Clase expressed his usual good spirit kindness by singing a solo, “Singing Glory". Mr. Honeywell’s sermon though very brief was up to the standard and full of splendid advice for both young and old folks. He gave three good reasons why one should be a Christian explaining each reason in detail with several excellent story illustrations His points were, The happy live you live; The useful life yen live; and The time to serve. Closing his sermon he gave the invitation and responded to the call. • o Democrat Want Ads Pay. Our Argument Is simple, yet sufficient.
