ALL WERE WELL ATTENDED— ADDRESS TO MEN IN AFTERNOON BRISTLED WITH

GOOD, SOUND COMMON SENSE STATEMENTS

All of the services at the Bradley M. E. church Sunday were well attended and extremely interesting in character. The men's meeting in the afternon was characterized by a large attendance, and Dr. Oborn's address was listened to with the closest attention. The address, which was entitled "Wishbone or Backbone," fairly bristled with good, sound common sense statements of conditions and an earnest plea to the men for clean Sives.

Despite the unfavorable weather a goodly crowd was in attendance at the services last night. Dr. Oborn's sermon was founded on the text, "They all with one consent began to make excuse." Jesus understood how lightly men and women would excuse the gospel, and he enumerated some of the excuses which men will offer. The well known story of the rich man's marriage feast gave rise to the words of the text. One man had bought a piece of ground which he needed to look after. The second man had bought some oxen to which he had to look, though the next day would have done just as well. The third man said he had married a wife and could not come. *'Oh, how angelic men would be if .it were not for woman. But I have found that very few women stand in a man's way when he wants to come to Christ, but on the other hand many men stand in the way of their wives' religious enjoyment-

Men, if you have the courage to say to your wives, 'Come, let us go ('o Christ,' they will gladly go. "One popular excuse is' the ehurch is behind the times. He means he doesn't believe in Jesus and His atonement. If to believe in this is to be out of date, let us be out of date. Within the past i'ew years many college professors were teaching materialism, but today none are doing so. The great trouble is that many people test religion by some absurd test of God and if they are disappointed, they say there is no God. There are some who say God does not answer prayer, but million?, can testify that He does. There are harder things in science to believe than «an be found in the Bible. Scientific works are constantly becoming back numbers and out of date. But there is one Book older than any, that is the most up-to-date of any in the world, and read by more people today than any other book in the world. If you want to be up-to-date take it for your guide. Then one says, 'I can't believe as you do. But though that be quite possible, there are some truths that all must believe, viz: That we are born in sin that we of ourselves cannot rise above sin that Christ died for the remission of our sins, and that there is to be a judgment day. Belief or disbelief never alters facts. You may take poison believing it to be medicine, but still it will do its deadly work. You may say you are sincere in your denial of the Bible, but that makes no difference in the truth of the Bible. Come to the end of life's journey—the Christian has lost nothing, but has bad joy and peace all along the way. The sinner comes to the end —what has he gained? Lost everything, even hope of eternal life. "Some say there is not enough practical Christianity in the world. That is true in some degree. But isn't that true of every profession? The doctors have their quacks, the lawyers their Shysters, and the same is true in all trades. The fact that some Christians are not A No. 1 workmen is no reason to condemn the entire institution. "Some say there are too many hypocrites. That is true. A hypocrite is a counterfeit. If there are hypocrites then there must be some genuine Christians, and if there are, you have no excuse. Better to be in a church of \yhich half are hypocrites and get to heaven, than stay out and go to hell- The church is a workshop where the raw material is worked up into a complete and perfect product, and some people you criticise may be doing better work than you think, and better than yourself. You wouldn't live in a community without a church.

Some say, 'you can't frighten me into being a Christian.' You can scare a man into a political belief, but they say you must not do such things in religion. A man saved from "accidental physical death, though frightened, will express his

thanks. But the preacher of the Gospel is here to warn people of their soul's danger, and if he frightens them into action, it were better than' to let them go to destruction. It may be before the setting of tomorrow's sun someone on a deathbed will be urgently sending for the minister to help them find Christ before they pass into eternity. Come now and accept this salvation while you have the opportunity."

DEVELOPS HERE

JAS. F. REED SPENT SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY WITH HIS BROTHER, 57 YEARS

OLD WHOM HE HAD NEVER SEEN.

LIVES IN SHELBY GOUNIY

John B. Reed Was Taken To Kansas By His Grandparents When a Baby, After the Death of His

Mother—He Returned to Shelby County a Few Years Ago, and His Brother, James F., Learned of His Residence There and Drove Down in Automobile.

An unusual romance lias just developed, with the scene laid partly in this city with James F. Reed, the principal actor, and partly laid in Shelby county with John B. Reed the principal actor. The two men are brothers and both past middle life, but until Saturday afternoon at. 3 o'clock, they had never seen each other. They are both the sons of John 0. Reed, who died in the army during the Civil War.

The mother of John B. Reed, of Shelby county, died when he was a baby, and he was taken by his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Gregory, then of Shelby county, to rear. In a short time they removed to Kansas, and James F. knew nothing of his brother, except that he lived somewhere in the West, until a couple of years ago when he learned by accident while attending the funeral of an uncle, Henry Zigler at Greensburg, that his half-brother had returned to Shelby county and was living there.

Mr. Reed located his brother at Geneva, Shelby county, and started a correspondence and at noon Saturday he started out in his automobile to make the fifty-mile drive and look upon his brother's face for the first time. Mr. Reed was accompanied by Wm. Sawyer, of Blue River township, who is well acquainted with the roads to Geneva. They arrived at 3 o'clock, and Mr. Reed said the first thing he saw upon entering his brother's home was a fine large picture of his father hanging on the wall and also the sword he carried in the Mexican war. These alone, he said, were enough to establish the identity of his brother, who is now 57 years old and has a son and daughter both grown, the son at home and the daughter married and living at Shelbyville. Mr. Reed visited with his brother happily until 1:30 Sunday afternoon when he went to the barn to get his automobile to make the return trip. And here is where the only sad part of this story of re-united kindred comes in. The automobile was cold, the engine was cold, and Mr. Reed unthoughtedly put cold water into the radiator. He cranked and cranked some more and finally bethought himself to replace the cold water with hot water, and then he kept on cranking until great beads of perspiration dropped from his forehead. Finally he taught his new-found nephew how to handle the crank, and esconcing himself in the seat, Mr. Reed worked the appliances until he secured enough explosions to warm up the engine, and at 4 o'clock he drove out from his brother's premises to make the return trip. The trip was made without any unusual event, notwithstanding the blizzard, with the exception that in the gripping of the steering wheel Mr. Reed's fingers became almost frozen, and he spent an unhappy hour when he arrived home getting the circulation going right again.

"There could be no better medicine than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. My children were all sick with whooping cough. One of them was in bed, had a high fever, and! was coughing up blood. Our doctor gave them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the first dose eased them, and three bottles cured them' says Mrs. R. A. Donaldson, of Lexington, Miss. For sale by all dealers. •Advertisement

PERPETUAL INJUNCTION AGAINST THE WOODMEN

Illinois Court Restrains Head Camp From Putting New Rates Into Effect—Appeal Will Be Made

Pending Which the Old Rates Will Prevail

A special news dispatch from Springfield, 111., concerning the Modern Woodmen's new rates over which there has been so much trouble, will be of interest in this county, where there are many members of the order. The dispatch says: "Holding the new rates adopted by the head camp of the Modern Woodmen at the meeting in Chicago in January, 1912, to be burdensome and unnecessary, Judge Robert Shirley of the Sangamon Circuit Court, has granted a perpetual injunction restraining the head camp from putting the rates into effect and also restraining the officers from declaring delinquent any member refusing to pay the new rates.- The injunction is effective everywhere, as Illinois is the home of the organization."

A Lincoln (Neb.) dispatch says: "Head Consul A. R. Talbot this afternoon declared that the chief officials of the Modern Woodmen of America would immediately appeal from Judge Shirley's decision to the Appellate Court of Illinois. Meanwhile Mr. Talbot said no effort would be made on the part of the head officers to put the new rates into effect."

The new rates were to go into effect January 1, 1913.

CAME WITH RUSH

Sudden and Radical Change in the Weather Conditions Caught Many People Unawares and Was not Enjoyed

With the possible exception of the fuel dealers, the sudden and radical change in weather conditions Sunday was not enjoyed very much by the people. Following a long period of settled and unusually pleasant weather, the ushering onto the scene of a regular blizzard caught people unawares, as some were not prepared for it. The snow was driven fiercely before a sharp and piercing wind, which searched out every crack and open place in the homes and kept the head of the house busy replenishing the fires. It looked for a time as though some of the last winter scenes were to be reenacted, but towards night, the snow ceased and the wind was allayed with more pleasant results, and the temperature raised considerably by Monday, although the overhead weather remained very gloomy.
