Monticello High School Plays Great Game of Basketball.

Rensselaer high school has a hard basketball proposition for Friday night when the team will go to Monticello to play the crack high school team of that place. The Monticello team has lost only two games out of fifteen played and they have been playing the best high school teams of the state. The Rensselaer team has played but two games this year, both on their own court, but they have won so handily and their forwards and guards are proving such splendid support to Charley Porter, the center, that they may be counted on to make a fine showing. The feat of holding th? North Judson team free - from field goals is not often equaled and shows the splendid work of the guards, Sage and Adams. They will go into the Monticello game with a determination to win and will put all the ginger they possess into the contest'Monticello can therefore count on a game worth seeing. Next week they will play at Delphi and on Feb. 9th« will play In Rensselaer with Monticello, the game taking place at the Armory at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. That hour was chosen because the armory is rented for a dance in the evening. It is believed, however, that the time will prove a drawing card and that a large number will turn out to see the game who would not go in the evening. ..

ANOTHER LARGE AUDIENCE ATTENDED UNION SERVICE.

Rev. Harper Delivered Sermon on the Needs of the Church —Music Continues Big Attraction. Another large audience attended th#union evangelistic service at the Presbyterian ehurch Tuesday night and following the song service list euea to a splendid sermon by Rev. C. L. Harper of the Trinity M. E. i-hurch. His subje--*' was “What the C hnrch Needs is e Heart Break or a Keen Sorrow for the Unsaved.” Je*r. 9:1; Heb. 5:7-8. He said: “Our trouble today is not the absence of culture or wealth ov brains. Our trouble is this: The nerve center of our evangelism has been interfered with and this has changed the attitude toward sin. Sin is not abhorred and shunned; there is no* fear of sin—no fear of God. Tol3toi said: “The mask of our time is a lost sense of God.’ Hence we hear no weeping over the sins of the people, there is no agony over sin. The church is affected by this drift. It has produced a state of indifference in our churches and the members are silent and inactive. Religion is action. The heart and soul of Christianity is action. I am more concerned about the saving of one soul than I am about all speculatlons about truth. It-" is death to any church to loed the sense of direct personal responsibility. “Gipsey Smith said, ‘There Is no agony now, there is no with sin; it is now a picnic, now a social.’ Jesu& never made it so. He preached repentance. He says the kingdom dugfereth violence.

The church still offers the message of saltation to the people, but somehow the force, the alarming, compelling cry of the message has weakened; there is something lacking and something is a positive and persistent preaching of the fearful fact that ‘whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.’ Rev. W. J. Dawson says that what the church needs today is not defenders of the faith, however eloquent or wise, but the actual spectacle of Christian lives which are wholly--distinct aiift distinguishable from the lives of worldly men; lives content and meek and laborious; lives consistently devoted to the service of mankind; lives that have taken the last step of complete surrender to the will of God. “Jesus’s passion was for a world—to win the world for God. Have we a gripping passion like that? Wesley had it. Livingston had it. St. Frances had it. Charles G. Finney and others who have moved men and women for the kingdom had it. When will the church be swept by this great emotion: into a serious and overwhelm* ing solicitude for the welfare of society? Not until this coldness or indifference to evangelistic fervor is gone, for the sublime purpose bf the Gospel.is to. bring God to man and man to God. Dr. Cuylor has said, ‘Woe to the World if the Gospel runs out.’ “It is not enough to please men or even to stir men. THEY MUST BE WION. Dr. Dawson tells the sad and thrilling story of Charles Pierce, who attained an infamous fame in England a few years ago as burglar and murderer; a man who seemed to be absolutely depraved In every way, as he was being led to the scaffold to expiate bis crimes under human law the prison chaplain offered him what are called the ‘consolations of religion.’ The wretched man turned upon him and said, ‘Do you believe it Do you believe it? If I believed that I could crawl across England on broken glass on my hands and knees to tell men it Was true.’ f “Again we spy, ‘What the Church Needs is a Heart Break.’ ”

Former Newton County Man Has Resilient Wheel For Automobile.

—J. H. Branson, of Jordan township, is being visited by his brother, Johnathan Branson, of Danville, 111., and his brother-in-law, Isaac Jay, of Pendleton, Oreg. Mr. Jay prior to -twenty years ago lived in Newton county and for a short time in Jasper. He has recently invented and perfected a solid tire bicycle wheel with resilient spokes, which he is convinced will prove just as satisfactory as the cushion tires used on autos at the present time. The spring spokes are so arranged that all of them help hear the wrigbt of the machine and a demonstration at his home town has proven the scheme entirely satisfa? tory. He has been in correspondence with a large manufacturing company in Cincinnati and will go there in a few days to confer with the proprietors about the manufacture of his wheel. •?*.
