DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY. MARCH 10, 192,1.

Large Crowd at Opening i of Men’s Mission (Continued from Page Oue) the hearts of his hearers. The attention given him was tense and one could almost hear the flickering of the candles and vigil lights in the sanctuary. It may not have been told be- 1 fore. His example was the sinking of 1 the great ship. Titanic, In 1913. His purpose in telling it was to show the folly of drifting from God, of denying that He was all powerful and that man owed his existence, his accomplishments to Him. The missionary said, "When the Titanic was built it was heralded over the world that It was untrinkul|ei, that the elements and dangers of the sea had been overcome in its construction. He told that those responsible, for its constrution, even went so far as to defy the power of God. by causing to have a plate on which was inscribed, “If there is a God let him show us." placed in the ship. He told of the warnings received by the wireless operator on the ship who informed the two captains ('apt. Smith and Capt. Murdock, how they laughed at him and finally Capt. Murdock, stated "The Titanic was built to defy and exceed the speed laws and the “S. O. S„ Icebergs ahead, Danger" calls were not meant for us” Gut at 11:10 that night the boat stopped and the cry went up, “The ice- | hergs!" You know the story of what 'happened then. Capt Murdock shot himself, and 1,595 of the 2,600 people aboard the Titanic were drowned.! "Are you heeding the "S. O. 8.” call which to you means, “Save our soul." This mission may be the last call to save your soul. The church is calling you to save yojtr soul. Death has no respect. Yoy may not live until the next mission. Make this mission and save your soul," pleaded the missionary and he concluded by adding, ' Remember, that there is but only one God. one Jesus Christ, one death, one Heaven or Hell, one soul. You must save your immortal soul." Following the sermon the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament took place. Father Peters officiating. ORDER OF SERVICES This morning at both the mission . masses, at 5:30 and 8:15 a large number of men attended the services. Following the first mass a short rc- | ligious injttfiK-tion was fijven and 1 j after the laic mass, Father Dapicl delivered a sermon. A mass for the women of the parish, who made the mission last week will be said every morning at 6:30, thus giving them an opportunity to receive Holy Communion. The services tonight will begin at 7:30 WOMEN’S MISSION CLOSED The women’s mission was brought | to a successful close Sunday afterI noon, the services beginng at 2:30, which besides the closing sermon delivered by Father Andrew, his subject I being “Perseverance," consisted of [the renewal of Baptismal vows and bhe giving of the Papal Blessing by I Father Andrew. Benediction of Bless'cd Sacrament and tire singing of the I hymn "Holy God. we praise Thy .name.” by the entire congregation. Following the services the missionary spoke on the aim and goal of the Third Order of St. Francis apd its privileges and obligations. He exhorted all the women to join the Third Order when established in the St. Mary's parish at a. future date. o City Firemen’s Benefit Picture Show at Crystal The first performance of “The Third Alarm.” the benefit picture show at the Crystal theater given under the auspices of the City Fire department, was shown today. The picture is very interesting and filled with thrills. The show will be given tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday. The proceeds derived from the show will be used by the firemen in entertaining the members of the Northern Indiana Volun teer and Industrial Firemen’s association who meet here for their annual convention on June 20 and 21.

Field Goals Hull tn Alice of Old Vincennes conquer of that formidable army of Indiana High School sharp shooters. The < Alicea are rulers of Hoosierdoom to- , day by virtue of their poble victory in tire battle of Indianapolis Saturday night, ip which Muncie's warriors fought to the last ditch. And incidently. the South won from the North. Field Goals batted .733 iu doping the tournament, missing four of the fifteen games. Muncie spilled our dope iu three contests and Crawfordsville upset us iu their game with Bedford. We think Muncie proved to be the biggest dark horse in the whole list of 595 teams who started in the tournament play on March 2. Muncie’s showing wasn’t all do to luck, either, since that team received a good representation on all-state Much credit goes to Muncie. Once more we hear from all parts of the state. "Doesn’t Anderson have tough luck?" It must be dicouraging to coach Staggs, of Anderson, to put out a team ■every year which is a top-noteher, only to have his boys beaten out in the semi-final or final game of the state tournament, and usually by a very narrow margin. This for Anderson "All comes to him who waits." But just think, wouldn't it have been discouraging for Cpach Adams, of Vincennes, if his quintet had lost the championship after its performance , last year and this year? Two games lost in two years. It is estimated that a total of 62,000 person? were in attendence at the six sessions of the tournament at Indianapolis Pf-iday ami Saturday. The at- ( tendance on Saturday night was estimat'd at more than 14.000. Who said baseball was Indiana's favorite pas- ’ time? — Red Robinson won a portion of the J honors for Anderson by carrying off ; the Jake Ginibel medal for showing , the best mental attitude. And that is ] a great honor, toe. J Passaic, New Jersey, won her 118th straight game Saturday, defeating Asbury Park. 54 to 29. t Decatur beat Kendallville; Kendallville forced Muncie to play overtime to win the regional tourney; Muncie t was runners-up in the state tourna- [ ment——get the drift? 1 , Let's all start right now and boost lor a sectional, regional, and perhaps , i state championship team lor I>. 11.
