NORTH SIDE CHURCH LAYS CilRSTOI

Number of Local Pastors Take Part in Ceremonies Held by Maple Avenue Christian.

The cornerstone of the Maple Avenue Christian church was laid Monday night with appropriate ceremonies by the pastor and tin- congregation.

In the cornerstone was placed a sealed metal box, containing a communication from the Sunday school, communications from the Garfield high school, the Collett school, and the Lange school, all of .which are in the neighborhood of the new church, communications and le.ter heads from the manufacturers and merchants ot Twelve Points, a history of the church as written by the church historian, Otis Cook, a copy of all of the Terre Haute daily papers of Monday, a list of the names of the members of the church, and a list of the names of those who contributed toward the building fund, together with the amount contributed.

Short talks were made by the Rev. W. H. Bast, the Rev. Bullock, the Rev. J. Boyd Jones, the Rev. !L. O. Blake and B. E. Lockwood, head of the official board of the Maple Avenue Methodist church, as well as by the pastor of the Maple Avenue Christian church, the Rev. John Cross.

Rev. Blake Speaks.

Rev. Mr. Blake spoke for the ministerial association of Terre Haute, of which he is the president, and bore greetings and good will from every minister of the association. Rev. Mr. Blake said the time had passed when one minister became Jealous of the .success of another who apparently was having a little better success than himself and said the ministers of Terre Haute were glad to see Rev. Cross and his congregation succeed.

The church choir furnished the music for the evening. The church formerly was known as the North Christian church but the name was changed to the Maple Avenue Christian church so that there might be no confusion between it and the North Terre Haute Christian church.

IIlRtory of Church.

The history of the North Christian church of Terre Haute, Ind., dates from the* Jatter part of November, 1000, when the Rev. L. E. Sellers, who was at that time pastor of the Central Christian church of this city, In company with Mr. J. T. H. Millar and Mr. Watklns, met at the home of Mr. Alexander Martin, No. 1406 Maple avenue. in this city, for the purpos# of organizing: a Sunday school.

Their efforts were crowned with success and in the following month of December they began holding meetings at regular times in what was then known as the Highland school building, a few blocks north of the Martin nome In which they held their flrat me*»tlnr.

They oontlnued to meet at regular Intervals at the Highland school building until the month of August, lfldl, at whloh time they moved to what was then known as the Philips hall, located at Lafayotte and Maple avenue. It was about this time that the city of Terre Haute began to ex-

flne

terlence an industrial boom in every of business, which brought hundreds of people to this part of the olty from every corner of the state to find employment In the newly built factories and In the building trades.

It was at thle time that the little band of noble Christian workers who had been atnigarHng against great odds la their efforts to succeed in their «rr»at undertaking began to seek rooralis from this sturdy class of new oitlsoiu who had oome to this part of I the olty to establish permanent homes

In whloh to rear their children. Thay oontlnued to hold regular meetings In tne Philips ha1 without a real cOwreh orvsr'satlon, until the I month

February, 1 t. It was dur-

In* this month that "e Rev. Lk L. Carpenter oame and ht a protracted meeting. During this meeting the first definite steps were taken to organize a ofctiroh when the workers met and organised with forty two charter members.

The flrst trustees elected were Ambroae Martin, Leon Stalker and George w. MoKaln. The flrst elders elected wore William Colllster and Alexander Karttn. The flrst deacons elected were William Cross. Ambrose Martin and a Mr. ChllderSj The flrst clerk elected was Benjamin Stalker, The members of the new organization gave It the name of the North Christian church.

Rev. Cross Attends Meeting. In a abort time after they had organised, the Rev. John Cross, who is their pastor at the present time, came to their meeting place at the Philips hall and conducted a revival and by his masterful sermons was instrumental In placing the new formed church on a solid foundation with sixty-four new members as a result of his labors.

It was about this time the member-

Magnesia Fine For Soar, Acid Stomach

Use Bisurated Magnesia to Quickly Stop Indigestion Pains, Belching, Bloating and Sour Rising.

Most folks, who, after eating, experience a sour burning sensation in the stomach are troubled with gas, bloating or a heavy, lumpy feeling call it indigestion and take a pepsin pill or something of the kind to help the stomach digest the food and push it into the intestines.

In most cases these people have what physicians call an acid stomach Their stomachs secrete too much hydrochloric acid which mixes with their food so that it ferments and sours and makes them uncomfortable. Instead of using something to artificially push this soui- acid mass into the intestines where it will do almost as much harm as in the stomach, they need a simple, harmless antacid like bisurated magnesia that will Quickly and harmlessly neutralize the acid in their stomach and make its food contents sweet. Then digestion becomes natural and painless and the disagreeable symptoms of heaviness, burning gas, belching, bloating, etc.. all vanish. As magnesia is put up in various forms and for various purposes do not allow the druggist to give you anything but the real bisurated magnesia in a plainly labeled and sealed bottle which insures the purity and full strength either in powder or tablet form. A teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little water taken after meals will neutralize the excess acid in your stomach and prevent or stop stomach distress.

ship began to discuss ways and means of establishing a new home in which to worship, and at last through their plarfclstent efforts they purchased a lot and began building their flrst church building, which was a frame structure at their present location early In the fall of 1903. and the church was dedicated by their present pastor on the thirteenth day of December, 1901, with as happy and Industrious a peoplo present as ever assembled.

They had an unceasing round of hard tolls to make a dedication of a new ohurch possible, with no immediate reward but a bare subsistence from year to year and the cheering promise of better days in the future.

The first regular pastor for the new church was the Rev. William Bilew. followed bv the Rev. H. C. Shaw. Rev. S. H. Glvler, Rev. Lowman and the Rev. John Cross, who is now and has been their regular pastor during the last five years.

During the summer of 1914 the membership voted to build a new church

They finished the basement In the fall of 1914 and have been holding their services in It since th.it time.

Among the men workers of the church there is one who stands out like a mountain.

In concluding this brief history of the north Christian church, whose life extends through a little more than thirteen years, we wish to make the following observation:

It has been said that the experiences and instructions of the first seven years of every person's existence do more to mold and determine his general character than all subsequent training. Let us hope the same rule will apply to what is now the Maple Avenue Christian church and thereby insuro to the citizens of Terre Haute a place where all can meet in the future on a common level.

Police Stop Girls on

Hike Get Wrong Ones

A telephone message from Mattoon, 111., Monday evening, asking the local police to be on the lookout for two runaway girls was followed shortly afterward by a call from Pimento, where the police were holding two girls who said they were from Terre Haute and were walking to Hazelton, Ind. Bicycleman Joe Weeks was dispatched to Pimento to return the girls to Terre Haute.

At police headquarters the two girls gave the names of Cora Hill, 17 years old, and Ollie Hill, 18 years old, of 2351 Fourth avenue. They said they had received permission rrom their mother to visit their grandparents and had left Terre Haute at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

When the girls reached Pimento a social was being held at the school house and they stopped to attend the fun. It was learned the girls were walking and a collection was taken up to send them the remainder of the way by rail. The principal of the school, however, became suspicious and notified the police

In Terre Haute the police thought the girls were the ones which were missing from Mattoon, 111., and they sent Weeks after them. But the girls were glad to be back home and they promised to stay. They were taken to their home by the police.
