THE GRAND ARMY Sessions Being Held at Madison Commander Lucas in Mis Address Sees the Ultimate End of This Noble Organization. By United Press News Association. Madison, Ind , June 14—The official figures of the grand army of the republic in Indiana, are according to the address of the department commander before the encampment here today, showing marvelously how the noble old veterans are dropping out of the organisation, either by death or j through inability to keep up dues | i De]>artment Commander Lucas for ' the first time for any official admits in his address today that “it seems as if the decline which is a pre , ■uraor of the ultimate end has ■ , begun.” In fact the attendance at [ the encampment itself shows how true are the facts submitted by the officers' reports. In his address 1 Mr. Lucas said on the subject:! /'ln spite of all <>ur effoi ts to keep up the membership of the Gram! Army of the republic, it seems as if the decline which is a precursor ' of the ultimate end has begun. The report of the ass.slant adjutant general, which is for the year 1904, only one half of which was under the present administration, shows a membership at the beginning of the year of 15,574 At the close of the year the number 15,069, the loss beeing 505. As the numbet of deaths was 515, the net gain for the year aside from these was 10. What we should strive for and m which every member should take a special interest, is that after this our only loss shall be from death.” Mr- Lucas outlined the expenses for the year at t 4.117.89. | He said with the strictest economy I the exiienses should be >4,000, but as there is over 14.000 in the treasury. he saw no reason for recommending an increase in the .per capita tax. “for,’’ he continued. “the grend army will have no ne-' oessity of making a will or leaving a surplus when it dies.” In con- j elusion Dr. Lu'-as said, "The end of the Grand Army of the Republic draweth nigh Tne hour oometh when this great factor in human ' progress shall oeise to be. It is a supremely pathetic thought that ! when the last veteran of the civil war goes across the river to rest in the shade of the trees the end will have come to an organization with no parallel in the history of the human race; an organization that nev r had a man who deserted the flig in a time of Jieril, never had a man who was rich enough »o buy a membership badge ,to wear, never had a man who by right of piimogeniture or inheritance, no matter how ancient, honorable or distinguished his an-| oeftry could he admitted to its fra ternity. It is a sic.ety built not ion prophecies; not on promises; 1 I not on persuasions; not on pro-1

fession*, but on deeds. Not wliere a man wa* born nA who wwe his ancestors; not touw much be is worth; not whatoftice does he hold ; not how much inlluence does he posses*; not who are his friends, ’ but what he did in the four year* the nation was passing through the winepress of carnave, blood and tears, on its way from Sumter to Appomattox, ia the question that determines whether he is eligible to membership in the Grand Army of the Republic. Comrades, Hail ’ and Farewell. My work as c<>m mander is about done, but 1 hope to meet with you and help in the work as long as I live. My sincere prayer is that you mav all lie useful and happy and when you come to pass over the river you may each one. as Blaine said of the dying Garfield, "feel upoa your wasted brow the breath of the eternal morning ” TO HOLY LAND Rev. Carpenter Wil Ro—Mas Dedicated More Churches Than Any Living Man l Rev. L L. Carjienter, of Wabash, who has won distinction as a dedicator of churches, may be sent to the Holy Lind to collect material fora lecture on Palestine. With thia purpose ’r -’»w the Christian Standard has i.uiohed a ’movement which is receiving the support of the Christian churches of the country. The t-ip will be in the nature of a mark of esteem for Mr : Carpenter, who is seventy-two, years old and has been an active minister for forty-eight years. If he ia sent abroad he will leave some time in the fall and be gone several months. The Rev. L L i Capenter’s services to the church have been and are phenomenal in many respects. Six hundred and forty two churches dedicated bv one man—what a record' Had all of these dedications followed one after the other on consecutive Sundays. it would have required tw»'ve years and eighteen weeks to have jdone the work which however. was spread over a period of twentyfive years. Today he receves more calls than ever before from newly constructed churches. He gets letters from Maine and California and ( Canada and Texas, but of many of! these he is unable to accept the invitation extended on account of limited time and the great distance ■ from Wabash of some of the churches for which he is sought as dedicator. Among a few of those to be dedicated soon by him are churches at Harrisburg, Va , Pen dleton. Ind . Clay City. 111., and 1 Kalamazoo. Mich. In many cases Mr Carpenter has dedicated churches the second time, where the congregations have outgrown their first house of worship and these second dedication ceremonies have been ones of especial pride to *he Wabash minister.

To? .nay say that you have failed too often, tbut there is no use In trying, that it is ltu|H«slble for you to succeed and that you have fallen too often even to attempt to get on your feet again. Nonsense! There is no failure for a man whose spirit is uneon.piered. No matter how late the hour or bow many and rejiefited his failure* success Is still possible. The evolution of Scrooge, the .miser, in the closing years of bi* life, from a hard, narrow, Heartless money grubtier. whose soul was imprisoned In bis shining heap of hoarded gold, to a generous, genial lover of bis kind. Is no mere myth of Dickens’ bruin. Time and again, in the history of our daily lives, chronicled in our newspapers, rei-oriied in biographies or exhibited before our eyes, we see men mid women redeeming past failures, rising up out of tho stupor of discouragement and boldly turning face forward once mure.—O. 8.
