A story in one of the Chicago papers telling of the New Years Eve celebration said: "Plenty of noise, plenty of people, plenty of traffic, remained as a sober sun cast its first inquiring glance from the east." To which the Indianapolis News replies. "Well, any how, the sifti was sober.” State health officials recommend that every one who wishes to be careful and to assist in fighting the epidemic of spinal meningitis from which nearly fifty have died in Indianapolis should occasionally gargle with a salt solution composed of a level teaspoonful of salt to a pint of water and use the antis iptic in the throat and nose.

Senator James E. Watson has announced that he will not be a candidate for re-election when his term expires which means he will retire in March of 1933. He declares he is retiring "to make his personal fortune.’’ Since he will le sxty-nine years old when he quits public life he must have some better method of making a fortune than most of us who have been trying it many years, have been able to find. The Gary mayoralty scrap continues exciting When Hays attorneys appeared Before the supreme court they declared that if he wasn’t continued in office there would be civil war next Tuesday when Johnson takes office. That) queer since Johnson was nominated and elected by the citizens of Gary. Looks as though they should have indulged in a little more voting at the primary or election if so many good people wanted him out of office. Automobile casualties gained more than five per cent iu this country according to a survey. In eight large cities there was a slight decrease but in the others the gain far more than overcome it. In one city, Berkeley, California the gain was seventy per cent. One of the unusual things about the report is a decline of 119, but even then had a total of deaths from automobile accidents of 799. There should be greater care on the part of both pedestrians and drivers.

No more interesting history of an important part of the government of the United States has ever been written than Claude Bower's "Tragic Era,” the story of the ten or twelve years immediately fob lowing the Civil war. If you haven't read it you have a real treat in store, provided of course you are interested in knowing the truth about that period. You will find it more thrilling thau a novel and you will probably recognize and remember many of the characters who took part In the great dtama of reconstruction.

♦ TODAY’S CHUCKLE I <u.» ♦ Parli.—The American Aid , Society of Parle, hard pressed by broke stock-broking Americana, sent 20 Americans home out of a total of j < 42 who requested free transportation. 4 ♦ A bunch of fellows and some women partners gathered up a couple of million and began a scheme to beat Frank Gould's gambling palace at Nice, but about the time they had things going smoothly Frank appeared with a fresh supply of cash and when they got through the house was all to the good. Gambling machines in use all over the world are made for the house and those who stay with them long enougn learn a sad lesson. Thats what this outfit did. Leading newspapers in Pennsylvania are fairly "taking the hide off" Governor Fisher for his appointment of Joseph R. Grundy to be United States senator. Here is the way the Pittsburgh Sun-Tele-graph expressed their feelings: “Flaunting public opinion, Gov. Fisher, of Pennsylvania, has appointed Joseph R. Grindy as Junior U. S. Senator from the Keystone State. It was hardly to be believed that the Governor of Pennsylvania would appoint as a Senator from that state a man who has just been exposed as a lobbyist by a committee of the U. S. Senate engaged in investigating the very activities of the lobby. The Republican machine of Pennsylvania is known to be a more or less discreditable political organization, largely in the control of the privileged interests. Yet it seemed hardly possible that this machine, for tis own sake, or for the sake of the privileged interests which control it, would wish to incur the resentment of the people of the whole country. This it has done by naming an exposed lobbyist as a representative of the state and people of Pennsylvania in the U. S. Senate.”

7 PROTESTANT CHURCHES WILL HOLD MEETINGS (CONTINUEDJ’ROMJ’AGE ONE) munion service together with a memorial service for those who have passed to their eternal reward during the year 1929. In the evening service at 7:00 o’clock the Rev. F. H. Rupnow of Fort Wayne will preach on the subject, "The Growing Christ" and the young men's chorus of the church will assist with special music. United Brethren In Christ The essence of true religion is to get rid of sin, so that communion with a pure and holy God may be re-established. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." The purpose of these evangelistic meetings Is to establish Jesus in the heart lite of our community, to save the unsaved and church the unchurched. Rev. Mr. John Hoy will have charge of the music nnd be assisted from time to time by the Book sister’s quartet from Ohio City. Ohio. We will be favored with their presence Sunday night.

Services will be held each evening, except Saturday at 7:30 o'clock. Sunday evening services begin at 7 o’clock. Remember the church that you belong to or affiliate with is in a like service, and is depending upon you for your support and co-oper-ation. I»ay aside all other activities for the time being and “present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which Is your reasonable service." Jesus said to Peter, "When thou art converted, strengthen thy breathren." Let us be busy about our task. Baptist Church The members and friends of the Baptist church are anxious to contribute their part toward the united effort of evangelism these next two weeks. To that end they have invited Rev. J. D. Dunkin, of Garrett to assist Rev. O. E. Miller and the congregation. Mr. Dunkin has done a splendid constructive work in Garrett. He is a young man of power and always glad to cooperate where he can be of any help in promoting the kingdom of God. He is pastor of the Baptist church

FOR many years Moor Man’s Hog Minerals has been the highest quality mineral feed obtainable, regardless of price. Now comes a new improved method of feeding —Moor Man’s Hog Minerals in block form. Moor Man’s Hog Minerals always produced a prolit for the feeder, yet in feeding the old powdered form of minerals there was always some unavoidable waste. Now, however, this waste can be entirely avoided. By actual test, block minerals save from 15 to 20 per cent of the mineral feed.

The united campaign should appeal strongly to the spiritual consciousness of all who have an Interest In higher .and nobler ideals of life. The churches are seeking to promote the highest, the soul’s relation to God in Jesus Christ. So the Baptist church desires to help. First Evangelical Church The First Evangelical church is in full accord with the simultaneous evangelistic movement of our city. There will be two services on Sunday and each night next week except Saturday. Miss Edith Hellwarth, of Celina, Ohio, has been secured to have charge of the music, as soloist and director. She will also have complete charge of the Young People’s work and Children’s programs. Miss Hellwarth has had charge of the music in the grade and high school of Celina for five years.

In addition to this big saving, you will find the block minerals much easier to haul, handle and store. You can put them out in more places for the hogs, since feeders can be secured at less than SI.OO each. They are sost —it’s easy for a hog to bite into it —and rain or cold does not hurt them. These new mineral blocks weigh 50 pounds each, and the cost is the same as the powdered form. Feed Moor Man’s! Get this 15 to 20 per cent saving, and in addition, get a mineral feed that will make you a real extra profit on your hogs.

First Christian Church Next Sunday is the first Sunday of the New Year. We can all begin all over again by resolving to make 1930 our best year. Let us make it the best year in our church life. Begin right by being at . church next Sunday. Don’t forget that Sunday is also . our quarterly business meeting. A pot-luck lunch will be served in the basement which will be followed by a social and business hour. Sunday services begin at 9.30 a. m. with the Sunday School. This is followed at 10:45 by the morning worship and preaching service. The evening worship is at 7 p. m. The public is cordially invited to these services. Presbyterian Church With the seven churches conducting evangelistic services at the same time there should be developed an interest in religion as never before seen. The fact is that the individual church is still a unit and all depends on the individual church for the success as a whole. The Presbyterian church has a program that should attract many. The old fashioned gospel is the cornerstone of our faith. We will dress it in a modern robe. He who feels the heart beat of Jesus as he carries His cross toward Golgotha cannot resist sharing his compassion for others. We share with the other churches our part of the responsibility. The Juniors will meet for a period of worship and devotion at 9 o’clock with competent leaders. I Sunday School at 9:30 o’clock. | With Mr. Ed Ashbaucher as super- ! intendent.

Christ, will present an Interesting t program for the Young People. ' At the evening service at 7.00 o’clock the pastor win P"* ,c “‘ “ message using for the theme, , Christian Challenge." This service will mark the openlngiof the evangelistic services. Services will be held in this church every Sunday evening at . o'clock and on Tuesday. Weuues day, Thursday and Friday evenings at 7:30 o'clock. There will be no services in the Presbyterian churen' on Monday or Saturday evening.'. Every member Is expected to be present and invite as many friend* as is possible. Andrew called h: brother. For we have found Hint. Methodist Episcopal Church It is quite the natural thing that the Methodist church should fit 1 itself a very happy part of a great evangelistic program. Our chur< h as a denomination was born in a revival and nurtured in evangelism. It is equally natural that the De catur Methodist church should enter into a simultaneous evangelistic meeting with the other chun h es of the city. The local church’s history through the years has been, that of progressive evangelism and through this method more than any other perhaps, has blessed the lives of many with salvation, and good cheer and as a consequence has added hundreds to her church■ membership. With such a membership at the I command of this fine religious i movement, we pray that ’we ni»y do our utmost to help any who may not know Him, to find "God and Jesus Christ whom He hath sent.” In so praying we do not I overlook the fact that there are those who are church membe's who need to know Him in a great religious experience. As a church we not only crave a direct ministry to our city but trust that we may also help every other church in our community to be a wonderful usefulness, by helping to create an atmosphere conducive to great Christian living that shall be marked with adventure and even thrill. As a church we will rejoice and be glad for the success of every church, knowing that in every case each churches success means the blessing of a life or lives. It Is the plan of the Methodist church of Decatur to somewhat return to the methods used in the past for inspiration. A great chorus choir has been organized which will have the continuous service of fifty voices. Platforms have been built into the regular choir loft to accommodate the chairs of the ■

"they would allow nothing of a social character and only business > I Os unavoidable nature to keep them I from a constant and consistent attendance in the services planned by the church.’’ This means much in the leadership of a church which as a rule seems willing to follow its directors. In fact a similar agreement has been entered into wherever the pastor has made i these intentions known to the oth'er members of the church. This ' is of course means a great impetus from the very start. With such a spirit as this, great victories will be gained in personal Christian experience and th» overflowing cup of a joyful church will draw and attract the attention of as well as be helpful to our community. The present need of all churches in the judgment of the writer. Is that of members who are willing to kneel in behalf of, rather than those who are willing to fight for their church. o— Set tne Hab’t—l rane at Homs.
