Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 270, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 November 1910 — Church of God. [ARTICLE]

Church of God.

The morning discourse will be a continuation of the subject, “Rightly dividing the word of truth,’’ giving to each age or dispensation, the things belonging thereunto, without which very many statements in the sacred writings are but apparent absolute contradictions, yet perfectly harmonious when thus divided.

Noth withstanding the fact that Delphi is between two larger cities, viz., Lafayette and with which it is connected by both steam and interurban railroads, it is a mighty good town and enjoys a good business, not being injured by the competition of the big towns. In fact, business men seem to agree that thfe interurban has been a benefit and not a detriment; to business. The .interurban company owns the city lighting plant there now and maintains, of course, both a day and night circuit, all lights being on the meter' bhsis, which is the fairest way of supplying I-ght and power. The company maintains in Delphi a fine store for electrical supplies, which is located in a business room up town. There are employed in Delpjii by the company, two agents, one manager of power, a store manager, an assistant, one lineman and five section hands and indirectly there are others employed and the interurban has helped Delphi Just as one would help Rensslaer. One of the recent improvements in Delphi and of which every citizen should feel proud is a bakery plant built by Prank Broadlick. Mr. Broadllck bought a lot on one of the principal streets and erected a fine building especially equipped in every respect for a bakery. The plant complete probably cost in the neighborhood of $12,000. The salesroom is well arranged with everything so clean that it attracts immediate attention for this reason alone if for no other. The bread shelves are glass covered and large enough to contain all of the daily output of 1,200 loaves, while show cases are filled with all manner of cakes, baking novelties, candies, etc. A store room provides for three or four car loads of flour., The bread mixing department is commodious and the ovens mammoth in size. In all the plant is a great credit to Delphi. It was in Mr. Broadlick’s old shop that Clifford Beaver, now employed in Rensselaer, learned his trade.
