No professional man would think of locating in a town where there was no church. Whatever a man may think of religion, he knows that it conserves morality 7 and that without it the morals of the community are bound to be low and have a tendency downward. Many men who do not accept Christianity for themselves, yet want their families raised under the best moral surroundings, and so are ready to help support the church. Some of these men never go to church, or only on special occasions and the community does not know their sentiment. Go to church Sunday lets this sentiment out and enlists the masses in defense of the things for which the church stands. Rensselaer is entitled to all of the good things that come to any community and the pastors of the city ask that we all participate ill “Go to Church Sunday,” April 16.

- DEALER IN Se Erie! RENSSELAER - INDIANA

There are a number of cities larger than Rensselaer and the newspapers have only a very few classified advertisements and in some no classified ads at all. The Republican recently has had two full columns and some times a little more and the advertisers tell, us of the most remarkable successes. They sell everything they advertise, rent everything they advertise, get employment, find hired help, restore lost articles to the rightful owners and fulfill every mission that is desirable in advertising. The widening circulation of The Republican, the popularity of the paper and the very reasonable charges combine to make an advertising bargain that none should fail to take advantage of. Do you want setting hen 3? Then advertise in our classified column and you will find all you want.
