HOPE IS REALIZED

SUNDAY WAS AN AUSPICIOUS OCCASION IN EAST GREENFIELD, WHERE A NEW

CHURCH IS BUILT.

WAS OVER HREE THOUSAND

Dollars Pledged,

OP

Paid, to Cover

Unpaid Cost of Building Unique Boulder Church—Bishop Vincent, of Chicago, and Many Other Ministers Were Present.

Sunday was an auspicious day and occasion in East Greenfield, when the Ada New M. E. church was dedicated to the service of God, at the close of a hard day's work to secure the payment of the building cost. It was practically an all day service, participated in not only by local people, but by many ministers from a distance, including Rev. W. W. Martin, of Muncie Dr. W. D. Parr, of Kokomo Revs. Sherman Powell, F. F. Thornburg, and D. H. Guild, members of the North Indiana M. E. Quartette, and Bishop Vincent, of Chicago.

A crowd that filled the church more than comfortably gathered at ten o'clock to hear Bishop Vincent, of Chicago, preach. The Bradley M. E. Sunday school orchestra and North Indiana M. E. Quartette were present and opened the service with splendid music and singing. Bishop Vincent is quite old, but he preached a powerful sermon, his subject being, "Walking With God." He said, "We are walking with God when we are in harmony with him. When we express our thoughts, needs, when we oommit all our cares to him and consult him concerning our daily life. When we study his character a few minutes, at least, of every hour' .'The purpose of divine worship," he sai d, "Was to teach one to realize the divine presence."

Bishop Vincent preached against the extreme emotional religion and said, "True religion and worship are submitting our will to the divine guidance and living each day .to do some good. Some parents are very wrong in refusing their families the pleasure of reading good books. Fiction, of the right kind, is good for young people, as all good fiction contains, or is founded, on some great truth."

His sermon was.jsb plain and simple that a child cdtild easily follow him, yet it was grand and inspiring, and contained almost a lifetime of experience.

At the conclusion of the Bishop's sermon, Dr. W. D. Parr, of Kokomo, took charge of the, service, and proceeded with the-lnnancial part of the program, which was to raise $3,300 in cash or pledges "in order that the church might be dedicated.

The Sunday school of the church pledged $500, by their superintendent, Mr. Slifer, and several hundred dollars were pledged during the morning service.

The ladies of the church served a handsome dinner. The second service was held at 2:30 p. m., and was attended' by a great congregation, scores being unable to gain admittance to the church. The quartette rendered some splendid selections and Rev. W. W. Martin, of Muncie, former pastor of the Bradley M. E. church here, preached a great sermon. Dr. Parr again took charge of the financial part of the program and secured a number of pledges. It was a heavy task and the workers were untiring, although the outlook was very discouraging at times.

Some seven hundred dollars remained to be raised at the closing service Sunday night, and this was accomplished after hard work. Bishop Vincent was then called upon to dedicate the church to the service of God, and the solemn ceremony was a fitting ending to the strenuous day and caused the people of the "little church across the way" to yejoice at seeing their hopes realized and their efforts of three years crowned with success. The day also marked the climax of the work of Mrs. Ada New, who started the movement for this church, and has labored for it untiringly for years. One of the chief workers of the day was Rev. W. W. Martin, who, while a pastor in this city, did much work in East Greenfield, which made possible this church. All the visiting ministers took an active part in the day's work, canvassing through the congregations and helping in all the services.

DEATH AT CARROLLKM COUNTRY HOME IS

Joshua Thurston Passed A\vvay at Age of 76 Years.

Joshua Thurston, aged 76 years, one of the best known and most highly respected residents in the vicinity of Carrollton, passed away shortly after five o'clock Saturday morning, at his home in that place. His death was due to Bright's disease resulting from a complication of diseases from which he has been a sufferer for more than one year.

He is survived by his wife, Nancy Thurston, and two sisters, Mrs. Rebecca Wilson and Mrs. Mary Molder, both of Shelbyville.

The funeral services were conducted at one-thirty o'clock Monday afternoon at the Methodist Protestant church in Carrollton. The interment was in the church cemetery.

HAS ANEW DUTY

Truant Officer Must Keep the Kids Nice and Clean.

A new duty was added to the already numerous ones of the county truant officer, by the recent Legislature, and it enlists the sympathies of Mr. Wirick's friends in this city, although he does not expect to have to perform the new duty.

According to the law, teachers must send unclean children home with a request that the parents get them in proper condition. Teachers refusing to do this are liable to a fine. Should the children come back in an unclean condition it is then the duty of the teacher to notify the truant officer and he in turn must notify the parents, and should the parents then refuse to comply with the request, the officer must proceed to do the work himself.

Mr. Wirick is just starting in on his work and does not know just what the conditions are in every locality of the county, but feels that it will be unnecessary for him to resort to the third provision of the law here, but much sympathy is felt for the truant officers in some cities of the state.

TWO FAMILIES MEET

Thirty-three Members of Martin and Russell Families.

The Martin and Russell families held their seventh annual reunion Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Allen, on East Main street. There were thirty-three people who partook of the splendid dinner. Officers were elected as follows: President, Mrs. E. B. Grose Vice-Pres-ident, Mrs. Marion Philpott Secretary, W. T. Allen Treasurer, Marion Philpott.

Among those from a distance who attended were: Mr. and Mrs. Lot Martin, East Germantown Mr. and Mrs. Marion Philpott, Charlottesville Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Bennett, Wanamaker Mrs. Julia McConnell, L. M. Boland, Connersville Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Martin, Richmond Mrs. Angeline McConnell, W. E. Ross, Mr. and Mrs. Orville McConnell, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Saver, Mr. Albert Saver, Milton Mrs. R. H.

HOUSE ON FARM OF MRS. ANGELINE McCONNELL, AND ITS CONTENTS, OWNED BY

WILLIAM OLVEY, IN RUINS.

ORIGIN OF FIRE IS UNKNOWN

The Olvey Family Were Attending Church at Mohawk When Building Burned—Large Crowd Gathered, But Fire Had Made Great

The nice big house on the farm of Mrs. Angeline McConnell, two and one-half miles west of Maxwell, together with all its contents was completely destroyed by fire Sunday evening about 8:30 o'clock.

The house was occupied by William Olvey and family, who were attending church services at Mohawk when the fire occurred.

When the fire was discovered, and a great crowd of neighbors gathered, it had made such headway that there was no chance of saving any part of the furniture. All they could do was to watch it as it was consumed.

The origin of the fire is a mystery at present. It is a heavy loss to both Mrs. McConnell and Mr. Olvey, although both had some insurance. There was about $500 on the house and $250 on the household goods.

Little Girl Killed by Cars. Another fatal railroad accident occurred at Fortville Saturday evening at 9:30 o'clock and this time a little girl was the victim. Ruby Sherman, the nine-year-old daughter of Grant Sherman, was run over by a Big Four train and both limbs were severed below the knee. She was also otherwise injured, but lived until three o'clock Sunday morning.

The little girl, with half a dozen other children of her age, undertook to cross the Big Four tracks at Main street, but were stopped by a freight train, which was passing to the west. As soon as the caboose went past, they started across again, not aware that another train was crossing the street on the second track. This train was upon them, but all escaped in almost a miraculous manner, but the little Sherman girl, who was unable to get out of the way. She was knocked down and ran over with the above results.

All that was possible was done for her, but the loss of blood and her other injuries prevented her recovery. Her father, Grant Sherman, lives a mile and a half north of Fortville, and they were in town shopping when the fatal accident occurred.

When David Rankin, the world's largest farmer, was asked to tell the secret of his success (he began by borrowing $6 and died worth $5,000,000, all made in farming), he answered: "Success in farming consists in making every minute, every cent and every seed count. A good workman is cheap at any price, and a shiftless, careless man is dear if he works for nothing." It would be well for every workingman and every employer, as well, to study carefully this last statement of a successful man.

Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills and after using them some three months I found a decided improvement in my kidneys, and I am glad to say that I hope soon to be fully restored to health." J. P. ALLBN, Ex-Judge City Court, Glasgow, Ky.
