An ecclesiastical council composed of nineteen delegates representing eight churches, met at the First Baptist church in ti is city on Thursday afternoon, March 6,1896. The council organized by electing Rev. L. L Henson pastor of the First Baptist c hurch of Fort Wayne as moderator, and Rev. H. H. Smith the former pastor of the Baptist church of Decatur as clerk. Then followed a season of prayer. MLs Leuetta Walters,clerk of the church, read the minutes of the meetings of the church so gar as pertained to the call of ■ the council, showing that the council had been convened for the purpose of considering the propriety of setting apart to the work of the gospel ministry, their pastor Carl D. Hazelton.

The moderator called Bro. Hazelton , forward and asked him to give hi* chris-, tian exiieriencc, call to the ministry and | views on the Bible doctrine, which he did i in a clear, concise and highly satisfactory manner, after which he was requested to retire from the room. Bro. C. 8. Farnham and Bro. E E. Beetle, delegate* from Richmond—Bro. ILzelton’s former home, then i spoke of their interest in Bro. Hazelton and of the esteem in which he is held so : his most excellent Christian character.' Rev. C. S. Winans, pastor of the Liberty ' Center Baptist church, spoke of the satisfactory manner in which Bro. Hazelton passed the examination and congratulated the church upon having secured such an able man as pastor. 11. H. Smith spoke of the excellent work Bro. Hazelton is doing here at Decatur. The council then by unanimous vote expressed themselvs as satisfied with the examination and recommended that Bro. Hazelton be publicly set apart to the work of the gospel Baptist ministry. Bro. Hazelton was then called in and informed of the action of the council. Carl D. Hazelton, E E. Beetle and H. H. Smith were then appointed a committee to arrange a progrotn for the ordination services. As it was desired that Rev. L. L. Henson of Fort Wayne preach the ordination sermon, and as he was obliged to leave on the evening train to have part of the services immediately. C. 8. Winans read a part of the 4th chapter of II Timothy and prayer. “I love to tell the story” sun, after which

Rev. L. L. Henson preached the sermon on the text: “Preach the word; be in*tant In 1 reason, out of season; upMI rebuke, exhort ' with all l<>ng-*u fieri ng and doctrine," II i Timothy 4; S The theme was: The duly of the preacher. Hia tbsl duty is to preach, and to prvarh th* word, the gospel. * r,,r hi* pastoral work he tnuat be willing to work in *eas.m*hl» hour* and al reasonable hour* In the matter of discipline he m<«t reprove, and rebuke if need be, and then exhort and all in love and long-suffer-ing making use of the doctrine to win them hack to the right. The prayer of ordination wm ihett offered by Bro. Henson, th* ordained Baptist minister praeent laying their hands upon the head of the candidate. Rev. C. H. Winan* then in a few well chosen words welcomed Bro. Haxehon to the ministry and gave him the right hand of fel owslnp. Then the council adjourned. In ihe evening the service* opened with an organ voluntary ot 7:30. After ’the singing of a hymn, Rev. J. h Smith pastor of the Willshhe. Ohio, Baptist church, read a part of the 20th chapter of Acts, and-fl-red prayer. An anthem was then sung by the eh'dr. as er wid'-h the charge 11 the can.lidale wi« given by Rev. C. S Winans. As the basis of hi* remarks he took the words of Paul to Timothy, “Take heed unto thy self, rnd unto the doctrine: I continue in them; for in doing this thou shalt but save thy self, and them that hear thee,” 4:-lfi. There is great need that a minister take heed unto himself. There ia danger that in preaching to others he will neglect his own spiritual growth. He must also take heed to the doetrine. Hi* great work is preaching, and the vbjeet he must always have iu view i* the salvation of souls. Another hymn was then sung, asker which the ch»r M e to the church was delivered by H. H. Smith. He charged i the church: , 1. To receive him whom they have called to the pastorate of the church aa a pastor, a leader, and be willing to follow him. 2. To receive him as a pastor sent of I God, an embansadnr of God. 3. To care for his temporal wants. 4. To be faithful to their duties a* membersjof the church. He was followed by a number of Ibe | delegates who spoke on the relation of pastor and people. While a hymn was being «nng all present were invited to Come forward and shake hands with the newly ordained pastor. The service* then I closed with the benediction by Rev. ( arl D. Hazelton. L L. HemsoX. Moderator. H. H Smith, Clerk. FRENCH township institute. The teacher* of French township held their sixth institute at district No. 5, last Saturday. Opening exerc »es were conducted by John Moran. After which an interesting paper was read by Burt Harruff on the “Committee of Ten.” A uniform course of study was discussed pro and con. The eighth year course was then taken up by Mr. Hocker and conducted as a class exercise. Il is needles* to say that the subject was fully exhausted as it occupied the lime till noon- Vocal music immediately after dinner was conducted by Mrs. O. D. Reynolds, who favored the institute with si-me choice music. Next came Moran with McMurry’s method, who gave the institute a few go.nl “hits” on Relation of home to the school Uuity ot P-rsonality. etc. The subject of Scientific Temerance as a class exercise was conducted by Mr*. O. D. Reynolds. A few topics on this subject met with quite a spirited disea-aion; by tihs time the hour of 3p. tn. had arrived when Trustee Stnckey favored the ins'i tute with a well prepared speech. C. E Hocker made a farewell speech after the following resolution was read and adopted, French township, Adams county, Indiana, March 2, 1896: Resolved, That we, the teachers of French township, assembled in institute today, extend our thanks to the trustee for c -urtesies and kiudnees tendered us during the past school vear. Teachers were all present except district No. 1. But Dan Sovine from Kirkland town-hip was present, and I Dan is one of those fellows whocan speak : his piece, so it ia safe to say a full corps of teachers were in attendance.

Pierce, Republic. lowa,’says:“ ‘l have used One Minute Cough Cure in my family aud for myself, with results so en-. tirely satisfactory that I can hardly find , words to express myself as to its merit I will never fail to recommend it to others, on ev ry occasion that presents itself.” W.
