They hsd the pleas-j ure of listening to an address given! by a converted Jewess, Mrs. Bern- j helm, now one o{ Hie superintendents: of Marcy Home, Chicago. 111.

Almond Shafer, the well known man from St. Mary’s township, who was badly injured several weeks ago when he fell from an apple tree, has recovered sufficiently to make a call to thi* city today. HU Injuries were very bad and tor a while it was thought he could not recover Fractures of the shoulder, arm »nd other bones resulted, one of the broken bones being forced into his throat. His friend* are glad of his early recovery. Will Harmon of near Willshire, O , who suffered an epileptic attack and fell under his horse which stamped on him and kicked him, two weeks age. Is in a serious condition Fears are expressed that bls leg which was broken in two places, may have to be amputated. This was rendered worse by the fall from the sofa, during another attack immediately after the leg had been bound in splints. The fall , undid the work and the bones wire iorced through the flesh. The injury f ' occurred at the home ot fils brother, .Joatua Hannon, near Pleasant .Mills. The evareelistic services Sunday at 'the Evangelical church were largely j attended. A fine, helpful spirit pre- : vailed. At the morning service Rev. I Rilling spoke trom the words: ‘‘Vision and Service,” taking Isaiah's experience recorded in the sixth chapter. The chief points in the sermon were: ! A vision of the I*ord will rob us of: our idols and cause us to see ourselves as we are. Open confession — Woe is me, Icr 1 am undone!’ God's ( quick answer and remedy, consecration and a dear call to service.” Fol- ■ lowing the sermon a touching and . blessed after service was conducted.! ■ Follow Me,” was the theme of the !*vening The speaker said: “Jesus saw a man of great possibility in Met- \ thew. He was not so much concerned about Matthew’s record as he was to have him follow him. Matthewneeded Christ, Christ needed Mat- j thew. How differently Matthew and' the rich young ruler treated the Master’s invitation. How different their j life’s work and end.” After the address convincing testimonies were given by the people. The singing was , fine. Subject for this evening, “Sowing and Reaping.” 7:30 to 8:30. The special wraon for men an<* boys, yesterday afternoon at the Christian church, was largely attend- i , ed. when Evangelist J. Bennett spoke i lon “Who Made the Devil." The Evangeliat gave some very concise state- ' meats to the effect that each man' made his own devil, and abiding place. The audience was not surprised there- : fore, when the evangelist who stated ' that at this time he would show the : only authentic picture known, of the : "devil,” brought forth a mirror and holding it up asked all to look therein, and witness the ’ devil” as it ex- ‘ isted personally for each one. The morning and evening services were excellent and announcement is made ' that the services will continue through the week, the services to begin at 7:30 This evening the evangelist will speak on "Christian Union." Everybody ’.s ‘cordially invited The stockholders of the Great Northern Indiana Fair association held their annual meeting in this city this morning and reorganized for the j new year, after closing up all business for the old year.
