THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSWLARR, Tirp,

KNIGHTS HAD FINE DISTRICT MEETING

Large Gathering and Best of Feeling—Spirited Speeches and Big Page Rank Class. The Golden Jubilee of the Knights of Pythias of the third Pythian district of Indiana which occurred in Rensselaer Tuesday, proved to be one of the greatest gatherings of Knights that has ever, taken place in Northwestern Indiana. Grand Chaiicellor Commander John M. Lewis, of Seymour, and Grand Vice" Chancellor Robert Brown, of Franklin, and Grand Keeper of Records and Seal Harry Wade, of Indianapolis, attended the meeting. Mr. Lewis did not arrive until the evening train, owing to the fact that he had attended the 4th district republican organizing convention at Greensburg and had been chosen district chairman to succeed himself. Mr. Brown was the chief speaker in the afternoon and he kept the great gathering in the best of spirits with his witty remarks and good stories, and his sound Pythian doctrine. Mayor Spitlev, who had been slated to make the speech welcoming the visitors, was unable to be present, owing to the fact that he had a public sale to clerk that afternoon and the address of welcome was made by Rev. Winn, of the Christian church and it was a splendid speech and added to the pleasure of the afternoon. The Brook K. of P. band and orchestra played many selections and Perry Horton played the piano and Harry Eger, Elmer Wilcox, Carl Duvall, Mell Haas, Vjrgil Denniston, DR Myer and Art Tuteur sang many inspiring songs. Rex. Warner stood treat at the Rex Theatre jmd admitted all Knights free to hiFsliov?, putting on an extra show for them between 5 and 6 o’clock. Then the big dinner was served in the armory, the Pythian Sisters having arranged to seat 250 at one time. The evening meeting started at about 7:30 and Grand Chancellor Lewis spoke for some time. Vice Chancellor Brown had played a great joke on the Grand Chancellor, having become familiar with Mr. Lewis’s speech and with several stories Mr. Lewis was in the habit of telling, he had related them in the afternoon as well as to prepare the Knights for just the kind of a speech Mr. Lewis would make. The joke proved the real feature of the meeting, fdr every time Mr. Lewis started to tell a story the great crowd broke out in laughter. It is a plan of the Grand Chancellor to say that each district meeting is the best one he has attended and Mr. ' Brown had informed the Knights that Mr. Lewis would relate that here and sure enough he did, greatly to the delight of aIT7 Mr. Lewis was quite equal to the' embarrassment, however, and enjoyed the exposure as much as any one in the hall, responding to the laughter with some extemporaneous wit.

After the roll call of the lodges of the district was completed and it was shown that all lodges in the district were represented but Crown Point, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal Wade asked that all who had' been Knights continuously for 25 years to stand. There were thirty in the hall who had attained the “veteran” class. Mr. Wade then made a good talk about the affairs of the lodge in the state, and about the Pythian building in Indianapolis. • Next came the installation of the Page Rank candidates, a Golden Jubilee class of 38. The work was conferred by Chesterton Lodge, No. 442, the officers filling the stations as follows: Dr. C. O. Wiltfong, Chancellor Commander; A. O. Peterson, Prelate; R. C. Hubbard, Vice Chancellor; C. H. Smith, M^ter-at-Arms. The pages initiated were from the following lodges; Rensselaer 11, Morocco 9, Remington 8, Hammond 6, Kentland 2, Valparaiso 1, Cheslferton 1. The roster showed the following registration: Rensselaer 85, Brook 68, Remington 28, Chesterton 18, Wheatfleld 16, Hebron 13, Kentland 12, Hammond 12, Morocco 10, Goodland 6, Valparaiso 6, Lowell, .Whiting and East Chicago, each 4, Indiana Harbor 1, and 22 from other lodges, a total registration of 308, while there were probably a number who did not register. In addition there were the 38 pages and. one to take the Knight rank. Ben Wolfe was the candidate for the Knight degree and this was also conferred by the Chesterton Lodge. The following composed the team: Dr. C. O. Wiltfong, King; F. E. Johnson, Dr. R. H. Axe, Dr. H. W. Ruge, C. H. Haslett, C. H. Harvil, A. O. Peterson, A. T. Swanson and A. H. Pollentzke and C. W. ( Jensen, Senators; A. O. Peterson, Monitor, and Hallie A. Flynn, Pythagoras. The work was excellently performed, especially was Pythagoras splendidly interpreted by Mr. Flynn, who is a former Rensselaer boy. Then came the midnight cafateria lunch, served by C 4 P. Fate in the armory. It was half after one o’clock when some two hundred and fifty or three hundred Knights began a raid of-the long table, but hungry as they were there was an abundance for all and Mr. Fate received many compliments because of the service. The singers, joined by John Mor-

HANDS AND FACE BURNED IN FIRE

Frank Schroer Found Mysterious Blaze in His Home Which He - Had Trouble Putting Out. Mark Schroer, of Barkley township, quite severely burned his hands and face in extinguishing a fire at his farm residence Tuesday evening at about 7 o’clock. The blaze had apparently started in the corner of a bed in a front downstairs room and had made considerable headway when it was discovered. Mr. Schroer put up a desperate fight, however, and succeeded in subduing the fire. The woodwork, the paper, the bed and bedclothing, the rug and all the furniture was ruined and the damage is estimated at S3OO. Dr. Washburn was called to dress (Mr. Schroer’s wounds and found them painful but not very deep. There was no stove in the room where the fire broke out and its origin is a complete mystery. The children of Dr. Kresler have made little change since yesterday and the outlook is now somewhat more encouraging. The baby is at least holding its own. There is no indication of contagion. George Kanne yesterday suffered a severe injury to his right eye, which was caused by a wire end striking him across the face. It is believed the sight of the eye will not be impaired. Dr. E. C. English returned on the 2 o’clock train from Chicago, where he was present this morning at 9 o’clock at an operation at the Wesley hospital on Miss Mary Childers for inside goiter. The operation was successfully performed and indications point to her recovery, Mrs. Childers- remained with her. — —

How is Your Boiler? It has been stated that a man’s stomach is his boiler, bis body is his engine and his mouth the fire box. Is your boiler (stomach) in good working order or is it so weak that it will not stand a full load and not able to supply the needed energy to your engine (body)? If you have any trouble with your stomach Chamberlain’s Tablets will do you good. They strengthen and invigorate the stomach and enable it to do its work naturally. Many very remarkable cures of stomach trouble have been effected by them. For sale by A. F. Long. C A lazy liver leads to chronic dyspepsia and constipation, weakens the whole system.

gan, who was one of the pages, entertained the crowd in the armory, and C. H. Harvfl, the human music box, of Chesterton, proved an excellent entertainer, imitating many things. C.

Short Sermons FOR A Sunday Half-Hour

THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT. BY CHARLES E. JEFFERSON, D.D. Blessed be God, even the Father jof jsur Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Mercies, and the God of all Comfort.—ll Cor, 1, 3. £ This 1b Paul’s name for God. It is a name which *has healing in it. Discouragement is an experience which comes to all. If we are not discouraged we have been, or if we have not yet been we shall he. To every discouraged heart the religion of Jesus comes with words of comfort and good cheer. “Let not your heart be troubled,” so It says, when the skies are gray and the case seems hopeless. It wipes away the tears by revealing a God who pities and forgives. The New Testament gives large space to the sins of Simon Peter because it is a book inspired by the God of all comfort. Christ picks out a man, weak, blundering, sinful, and builds him as the first stone into the edifice of the institution which is to save the world in order to teach us that even if we are frail we can serve divine ends; that we are imperfect and unworthy, nevertheless we may have a place in the rising walls of the temple which shall be on earth the shine of thejeternal glory. If we are depressed by our sense of weakness Christ reveals to us a God of power. If we cry “Impossible” we are at once reminded that when the human will is linked with God all things become possible. The wind is blowing and the sea is rough and many a man today cries out in terror, but he who believes in the omnipotence of God can look undismayed into the teeth of the fiercest tempest. The earh is filled with human wrath, but God can compel the wrath of man to praise him. In spite of all appearances righteousness is stronger than iniquity, truth is mightier than error, love will finally conquer hate. Even when truth is on the scaffold and wrong is on the throne the Christian heart is not undone, knowing that some day, somewhere, all will be well. In a growing world like this processes of development cannot be completed before sunset, nor can all wrong things be righted before life’s course is run; but in the Father’s house there are many rooms, and what is left unflnshed in one room is completed in the next. Earthly failure should never disconcert or daunt a man who believes in the life everlasting. Failures are a prophecy of glory yet to come. Falling-short of one’s highest aspirations is evidence that there is another world. ' The.failures of earth point to thevictory beyond; the night which comes upon us when we have failed in our best efforts is proof of the boundless dawn; the sense of imperfection and the consciousness of blundering are intended to lead us onward and upward to the throne of the Eternal. Robert Browning tells it all superbly. Paraceluss begins life with vast ambitions. He determines to master all knowledge. Years are given to the quest and he comes home defeated.\ He then determines to become master of the kingdom of love. He gives himself to the great enterprise and at last sinks down defeated,. The time arrives when he must die, with the shout of a victor. His last words are: - If I stoop Into a dark, tremendous sea of cloud It is but for a time. I press God’s lamp Close to my breast. Its splendor soon or late Will pierce the gloom. I shall emerge one day.

The Peace of God.

“And the peace of God which paeseth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” We shall have the peace of God. And this is so great a blessing, so real a blessing, so precious a blessing, that it must be known experimentally to be entered into, for It passeth understanding. See, therefore, how we get this peace of God, through attending to this exhortation, that in everything, in the most minute affairs of life, we let our requests, by prayer and supplicar tlon with thanksgiving, be made known unto God. And further, that we seek to the utmost to avoid anxiety. Oh, let us lay these things to heart—The Life of Truth.

Only on Sunday.

Some people seem to love God only on Sundays. That Is not right. What would you think If your children only exhibited their love toward you one day in the week? Surely you expect from them, a showing of love every day In the week. In loving prove that you are sincere by your actions. That child who is almost compelled to exclaim "Nobody loves me” must have a sad heart To Buch an one let your heart go out lx love to comfort It—George R. Scott. You can tell how deep a man’s principles are rooted when Jie meets an old sin under a new alias. The present scarcity of 2-cent pieces Is causing alarm,amongst some very regular church-givers.
