The afternoon meeting was turned into an old-fashioned testimony meeting and the blessing of God was upon the people us they told of how the Lord had saved and sanctified them. Evangelist Effie Moore preached at night from the text: “How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation.” The largest audience that ever attended a Nazarene meeting iYi Greencastle listened r.s the evangelist showed the awful penalty of neglecting the great salvation provided in the atonement. This meeting has been one of the best yet held in Greencastle by the Nazarcnes. Betwen fortv and fifty people were either saved, sanctified or reclaimed dur-

CROSS COMPLAINT FILED

In a cross complaint filed today by Lyon & Peck and Hays & Murphy, the American Zinc Products Company alleges that Nicholas L. Heinz and William Heinz, oons'ructing engineers, who recently filed a suit to foreclose a mechanics’ lion on the plant for 818,000, were ignorant of methods necessary to build a zinc sheet mill, and as a result the zinc mill company suffered a large financial loss. Damages of $300,000 is asked of the Heinz Brothers by the zinc mill company. The cross complaint alleges that the Heinz brothers contracted to build a mill and install machinery to roll sheet zinc. The company alleges that they failed to build the mill satisfactorily and that thev failed to carry out their contract. The mill company paid the Heinz brothers $30,000 of the $40,000 agreed by contract, but refused to pay the balance. The mill company alleges that because of th ignorance of the Heinz brothers regarding the construction of zinc plate mills, the mill was not correctly built and that the company was required to rectify the mistakes of the Heinz brothers at a great cost. Delay in starting the mill is charged to errors and poor management by the Heinz Brothers. The mill company in its complaint asks $300,000 damages because of the failure of the Heinz Brothers to carry out their contract.
