And Mortgage Burning Largely Attended Last Evening. The annual congregational meeting of the Presbyterian church last evening, attended by the ceremony of the official burning of the mortgage, which thus clears the church of debt for the first time In its history, was largely attended and the interesting program carried out to the letter as heretofore published. The meeting was an enjoyable one, not only for the congre- | gation of the church, but lor the visitors as well. The burning of the morti gage was delegated to R. D. Patterson, one of the oiaest memoers of the con- ' gregation, who, with the other mem--1 bers of the official board, surrounded | the altar, and just as Mr. Patterson applied the match to the mortgage, the choir sang, happily, "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." Talks were also given by several of the older members of the congregation. among them being Mrs. Dr. Coverdale. Mrs. Nettie Schrock, Mrs. Crabbs, Mrs. Allison, James H. Stone and Mrs. W. J. Myers, the last named being a former member of this church. J. Frank Mann of Muncie gave the congregation a surprise call and gave an excellent speech. D. B, Erwin presided as moderator of the meeting. Preceding the program was the business session. The j reports of all the various departments I were given, the financial report show- | ing a balance on hands in all departments. Miss Laura Alban, who has served efficiently as clerk of the coni gregation, was re-elected and H. S. ! Michaud was elected trustee for three years, succeeding Oscar Hoffman, whose term expired. Happy Easter Thoughts. We should not be proud of the clothes we wear, They're all second-hand, as we know; For something, an animal, insect or bird, Has worn them before, long ago. And even the lilies, the Bible tells us, Have robes that a king could not buy. So we have no cause to be silly and ; vain About what we wear, you and I. —Lizzie De Armond.

Though measles and bad roads have been keeping down the attendance of the Concord Ladies’ Aid society of Root township, the interest does not fall behind, and the meeting of Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Dwight Wilder was an excellent one, the usual business and social periods being in order. The ladies were delighted with the treasurer's report, showing that the proceeds Irom the lunch served recently at the Sam Houck sale amounted to $40.51. Though this society has been in existence only a year and a half, they have contributed much to the growth of the church, not only financially, but socially. Mrs. C. C. Wilder will be hostess at the next meeting, Wednesday, May 3rd. Miss Pansy Bell entertained the Menu-ates Wednesday afternoon, the principal feature of the afternoon being needlework, which was laid aside, later for a dainty luncheon. Guests other than club members were Mrs. Sherman Kunkel, Miss Florence Kunkel, Mrs. A. R. DeVilbiss and daughter, Fannie Cole, Miss Sylvia Eaton and Mrs. Walter Plew of Gary. Miss Edna Hoffman will be hostess next Wednesday afternoon. Dr. and Mrs. J. E. McArdle are entertaining Miss Edna Ehinger, who is here from Decatur to spend a week. . Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. “Literature Old and New,” was the very good paper of the hostess, Mrs. M. E. Brackett, at the meeting of the Shakespeare club Wednesday afternoon, the study being carried further by the other members on sub-topics along this line. The attendance was very good and the interest accordingly great. An out-of-town guest was Mrs. Brackett’s sister, Mrs. R. G. Trask. The next meeting, assigned to Mrs. Helen Blossom of Fort Wayne, will be with Mrs. P. G. Hooper. Miss Halo Holden arrived last evening from Huntington and is the guest of Mrs. M. E. Brackett. • Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gerke had as their guests at supper last evening, Mr. and Mrs. Ferd Peoples and Miss Clara Bultemefer.

Kokomo, Ind., April 7—The Rev. B. S. Hollopcter of Wabash, superintendent of the Wabash district, submitted a report yesterday at the session of the North Indiana M. E. conference, showing that this conference had paid in full Its apportionment of money for the support of the plshoprlc of the Methodist church of the United States. For the first time In the society's history the widow of a deceased minister and orphan children under sixteen years of age draw benefits. Ministers are also relieved of interest payments when their salaries are S7OO or less, and are to lose no advantages when retired, but detailed in emergency work. C. U. Wade, secretary of the Preachers' Aid society, reported at yesterday morning's session of the conference that the permanent fund of the aid society is now $80,830.52. The cash on hand amounts to $2,327. There has been paid on salaries $1,989.40. After a lively discussion, participated in by the Rev. Ezra F. Hasty of Warsaw, the Rev. L. J. Naftzger of Greenfield and the Rev. H. N. Herrick of Kokomo, the officers of the Preachers' Aid society chosen last year were re-elected. A nominating committee composed of M. Pell, W. W. Martin and H. L. Overdeer, was appointed and the Rev. Mr. Hasty expressed a fear that a slate had been arranged or might be suggested. This implication brought L. J. Naftzger, president of the board, to an animated denial and general explanation of the workings of the nominating committee, which proceedings proved one of the enlivening incidents of the session. In the end the Revs. Mr. Herrick and Mr. Hasty expressed their full confidence in the officers of the society who. re-elected, left the nominating committee nothing to do. The officers are: President —L. J. Naftzger, Greenfield. Vice President —Rev. B. S. Hollopeter, Wabash. Secretary—C. U. Wade. Greencastle. Treasurer —James W. Meeks. Muncie. General Secretary—.T. W. Cain, Warsaw. Managers—Hardin Rhodes. Will A. M. Meeks and Benjamin Blasscock, Muncie; D. O. Killen, Yorktown; Chesteen W. Smith, Anderson. The Rev. J. A. Beatty of Ft. Wayne, superintendent of the Fort Wayne district, submitted his annual report. M. C. B. Mason of Cincinnati, colored, spoke for the Freedmen's Aid society. He said there is no race problem. That God placed the negro in this country to teach the Christian people their duty man to man, regardless of color. He reported an increase of $15,000 in contributions. Since the separation of the Freedmen’s society from other departments ok church work, he predicted the evangelization of Africa.

A- G Kenyett of Philadelphia, secretary of the Church Extension society, was heard in support of that cause. E. R. Graham presented the conference with a draft for 12,025 for the Preachers’ Aid society, the conference’s share in the profits of a book concern. Among the names of the members of the standing committee who will carry forward the conference work during the succeeding conference year are the following well known here: On education, Earl Parker, Hartford City; Freedman’s Aid, G. H. Myers, Montpelier; C. B. Work, Warren; General Qualifications, O. V. L. Harbour, Geneva; Hospital, Sherman Powell, Decatur; Memorial Home, E. L. Jones, Ossian. The Rev. J. C. White, pastor of the Grace church, Kokomo, authorized the announcement yesterday that his church would ask the return of the conference next year, an unprecedented thing in conference history for the city entertaining to request a conference for the second time in succession. He will have opposition from the Simpson Church, Fort Wayne, the Wabash Street church, Wabash, and the First church at Tipton. • o CAR OF CATTLE. At G. R. & I. Stock Yards to be Sold Next Week. Noah Frauhiger of Magley has at the G. R. & I. stock yards a car load of cattle, which he offers for sale one day next w’eek, the day not yet having been set. All are of the Jersey stock and were secured by Mr. Frauhiger at Grand Rapids, Mich., and shipped to this place. It is one of the finest lot of cattle you ever laid eyes on and if you are in the market for fine stock, it will pay you well to look this lot over before you buy elsewhere. i o— — TONY HACKMAN WRITES HOME.
