CHURCH REVIVALS Contributed Friday Evening Attendance Large The attendance at the First Methodist Church. Friday evening, was the largest of the series so far. A noticeable feature ot these meetings is the number of men in each meeting. The Junior church sung and responded to an encore. Pilate’s question “What then will I do with Jesus?” furnished the basis of the sermon. The theme I the individual’s tresponsibility tu answering Pilate’s question was presented by Rev. Franklin. “When Pilate asked the historic question he looked Into the eyes of one who had no apology to offer for the deeds of his life. "Jesus was more anxious to please His hernvenly Father than to truckle to a gainsaying World. “Though nineteen centuries have passed since Pilate was arraigned before the bar of his own conscience by this Nazarene yet Jesus is the world’s great character in this twentieth century. "Jesus lives a most potent life today. Christ killed will rise again. He is the only one who has been called the Good Shepherd the Light of the World the Prince ot Peace, the Lowly Nazarene. "To evade Jesus and this personal question is impossible. No man can escape answering it. This question challenges every unsaved mair. Lei us face the question. Let us say now in the day o fsalvation. May we not procrastinate. Let us not say ’I will wash my hands on responsibllitj’ but let us get under the blood and accept Him as our personal saviour” There will be no services Saturday evening. On Sunday Rev. Franklin will give evangelistic sermons both morning an devenlng. IDENTIFIED BY A. M.

The local man obtained the license number on the car and immedipt Iv called Sheriff Johnson and local officers. Fort Wayne officers were called at once and at 12:30 am. young Friar was located at his mother's home, 12 miles northwest of Fort Wayne. Th youthful bandit was taken into custody by Fred Lunz. Allen conn ty sheriff and his deputies, and held in the Allen county jail overnight. Sheriff Burl Johnson and Chief of Police Sephus Melcbi went, to Fort Wayne this morning and returned young Friar to this city about 1130 o’clock.

The bandit also lost his hat in ths scuffle and suffered n slight scalp wound when struck by the flashlight wielded by Mr. Anker. The flashlight was broken by the force of the attendant’s blows. Mr. Anker’s glasses wer - broken in the scrap with the bandit. When questioned by a Dairy Demlocrat reporter, Friar said that ne ‘didn't know why he did it".
