Sunday Evening Comment At the Baptist Church.

(Contributed by Rev. A. S. Cross.) Whp serves God? The answer commonly is, that member of a church who loyally supports his church by his attendance on the Sunday and week-day services, who Sires of his means and who lives a blameless life in the midst of a crooked £nd perversegeneration. This I believe to be far from what God demands. No one ought to neglect worship, which is a fundamental part of our human nature. I fear our American life suffers much because we do not "take tim efor real worship. But that Spirit of worship which does not peek to permeate the community with the spirit of eJsus, which loves God and neglect* its duty to fellow men is the thiol; that God dispises rather than delights in. One may be a loyal church member and serve his church more than his God. Again a man may not be a nomlasi church member, or make a loudl pretention to religion and yet be doing things which really pleaseß.God. The church member may only have the form of worship but the doer of God’s will has the substance. . Some people are so exacting that they deny a man vtho is not a professing Christian can receive a reward for a good deed he may do. That is not the teaching of Jesus. The person who gives a cup of cold water even in the name of a desciple shall in no | wise lose his reward. No man can do a good deed without being rewarded. His own innner nature will receive an upward push because of Such a noble impulse. Speaking words of sheer to a sorrowing oqe r .directing the life of a little child, 4p the right channel, hesitatingTlfy criticize when others censure, looking for and bringing out the good from beneath the bad, feeding the hungry with beefsteak as well ss prayers, etc. Kindness in words and deeds, filling the community and the world with purity and sunshine, destitute the largest part of our wor? ship of God.' We serve our God best by serving: our neighbor. Those mien wdre real heroes, who last Week did their duty without ah risking even in the face of death and that band that plmyed "Nearer My God to Thee" were doing God’s service in a practical way. Today many lives are bring wrecked %| the ocean of life. Many are fight- 1 fng against the cold icebergs of strong temptation and some of them in our community. Brother, throw out the life-boat and sav esome sinking soul Many a soul may be saved from irreckage, many a burden lightened if you but sing from the heart "Nearer My Gog to Thee, Nearer to Thee.”

Dan Waugh, of, Tipton, department commander of the Indiana G. A. R., has issued a general order to the various posts in the siate calling attention to Memorial day May 30. Post commanders will extend an invitation to their auxiliaries, the Woman’s Relief Corps, the Ladies of the G. A. R., the Sons of Veterans, the SpanishAmerican soldiers, all civic organizations and the children of the public schools to aid in the celebration of the day. The order was issued through the office of Col. John R. Fesler, assistant adjutant general of the Department of Indiana. Another order of the commander tells of further arrangements for the annual encampment, which is to be held at South Bend. A general order from the national headquarters at Chicago, received by Col.

Working Double Shift at Prison Making Binder Twine.

E. J. Fogarty, warden of the state prison at Michigan City, says the number of prisoners manufacturing binder twine at the prison plant has been doubled in an effort to meet the demand of the farmers of the state for the factory output. “We have a capacity of three million pounds,” he said. *‘We have sold more than a million pounds, and orders are continually coming in from Indiana and elsewhere. We will be able, I believe, to supply all the twine the Indiana farmers will order from us this year, by working two shifts of men. The impression got abroad that we had contracted ahead for all the output, but such is not the case. We are still receiving orders from the farmers and expect to receive them up to and including the harvest season.”

Opinion by Attorney-General About Township High Schools.

In an option to Charles A. Greathouse, the attorney-general has held that where a township trustee has decided to construct a graded high school, >the’ school building must be constructed within the boundaries of the township over which the trustee presides. In the same opinion it was held that where a city and a township jointly constructed a school building, the township going fn debt for its part of the cost, and the city takes in a part of the township territory, it cannot take over a part of the debt of the township. In an opinion to Carl H. Milam, secretary and organizer of the state library commission, the attorney-gener-al held the department may use a part W its funds in advertising the summer school for librarians conducted under the auspices of the commission. Automobile insurance at 2 per cent per annum, against loss by fire any cause, any place in the United States or Canada, by a company that is as good as the best B. a HARRIS.

Mikado Type Engines Prove Too Large For Southern Division.

When an attempt was made to operate one of the Monon railroad’s new Mikado type freight engines on the southern division of the Monon system Monday it was found that the engine was too big to celar the overhead crossings 'and the bridges on the road. The new engines are much larger than any ever used before on the Monon. A train was started for the south Monday and when the engine got as far as thd Wabash railroad cross-over, south of Lafayette, it was found that the locomotive could not pass under. The bridge is about five inches too low and several Inches too narrow. This made it necessary to back the engine to the shops and send out a smaller engine. The Monon officials, including President Fairfax Harrison, were at Lafayette Monday on an inspection trip. They also investigated the boiler explosion at Bloomington, in which Weaver Hillerman was instantly killed. The engine which blew up was an old ond and had been rebuilt -several times. It is believed that several old engines on the road will be condemned as a result of the accident.
