GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1914

Little Sugar Creek Christian Church Anniversary Dinner. A great crowd assembled at the Little Sugar Creek Christian church Sunday to attend the annual dinner, which is becoming a feature at that church. The morning sermon was preached by Rev, Buchanan, of New Palestine, and in the afternoon, the sermon was delivered by Rev. M. S. Decker, of this city, A great table one hundred feet long was erected at the north side of the church and over two hundred people partook of the sumptuous feast and enough was taken up to feed them again. Chicken was king of the feast and desert was 2furnished by Charles Vetters, a 48-pound watermelon of his own raising, which graced the center of the table.

The good women of Little Sugar Creek did themselves proud and this annual church meeting will as a consequence become quite popular. The preacher had to apologize in the pulpit for his very evident penchant for chicken and the audience accepted the apology gracefully.

Almost a century has gone by since the old pioneers with their implements of warfare, as well as for the subduing of the wilderness, first worshipped at Little Sugar Creek and effected the present organization, and it has written a glourious history by splendid faith exhibited.

The subject of the afternoon sermon was "Jesus' Attitude to Sin," and it was listened to with rapt attention.

Rev. F. L. McDonald, of Indianapolis, came Tuesday evening to assist in the tent meeting, which is being conducted by the South Mission church. The meetings will continue all week, services each afternoon and evening. A cordial invitation is extended to the public.

A Blighted Life.

But few people who enjoy good health, or even moderately good health, being free from any blighting physical or mental ailment or condition, fully realize their blessing in this regard until it is brought to their mind by some especially distressing example, or by the loss of their own lionltlh This fact is brought forcibly to the minds of those who knew the late Frien B. Atherton, who, having drained the bitter dregs of hopelessness for the future, because of a physical condition that made him unfit to enter the battle for place so well deserved and which he feared was undermining his reason, with his own hands, snapped the frail silver cord of life, rather than to live, useless and a burden to others.

Novelists, men and women of imagination and powers of depicting life pictures that would bring terror to stout hearts and sadness even to contemplate, would be powerless to encompass in a work of fiction anything that would equal in hopelessness and pathetic gloom, the future contemplated by Mr. Atherton and the past that confirmed the hopelessness of that future for him.

A blighted life was Mr. Atherton's. Young, traveled, educated, endowed with a special mechanical gift, he was seized in the merciless grip of a physical ailment, epilepsy, when entering the prime of life, and while serving his country, and ever the grip tightened and the fight became more hopeless until no doubt the black, hopeless cavern of the future which only could be his portion, became more than human mind could contemplate and retain its balance.

The story of Mr. Atherton's struggles, attainments and final defeat, is pathetic in the extreme. He was born and reared in this county, in Sugar Creek township, and was known and respected by many people in this city, where he was at one time at the head of the Greenfield company of the Indiana National Guard. He enlisted in the regular army on January 9, 1900, and served three years. He served with the United States troops during the Boxer uprising, at Tien-tsin, China, and from there was transferred to the Philippine Islands, where he served until the fall of 1902, when he returned to the United States, and was honorably discharged January 5, 1903.

It was while serving his country ifi the Philippine Islands that the hardships, exposure and deprivations of war brought on the ailment that ultimately was his physical and mental undoing. While engaged with the army in the islands, he was subjected to intense heat and exposure to the sun and he seemed to be unable to become used to the climatic conditions. All this, with the water supply, caused him to suffer with weakness, cramps, indigestion and other troubles. After a long march across the Talipoc mountains, in June, 1901, during which time the troops were unable to get drinking water, the water along the beach being salty, the found some cocoanuts and drank the milk from them. It was following this that Mr. Atherton suffered his first seizure and he suffered others before leaving the army, becoming unable to eat any ordinary food or exert himself. Upon leaving the army, he went with a comrade to his home at Sonora, California, where he remained several months on account of his health before returning home.

From the fall of 1903 until the summer of 1905, he was a student at Butler College and from the fall of 1905 until the summer of 1909, he was a student at the Ohio Northwestern University, at Ada, Ohio, and was graudated in June, 1909, having taken as his major, mechanical engineering, and working his way through college.

Having graduated with such high grades as to attract the Westinghouse Machine Company, of East Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, he entered, immediately after his graduation, upon the apprentice course of two years with that company. His physical ailment became so pronounced and the seizures so frequent and violent, that he was advised to and did give up the work in June, 1910. At that time he came back as far as McCutchinville, Ohio, the home of the young lady with whom he had fallen in love and to whom he was engaged. Here he became so seriously ill and the seizures became to severe that he was unable l,o come on to his home until in October of that year.

Since that time he has lived with his mother, doing such light work as his condition would permit: But with the passing of time his condition became worse until he was unable to exert himself in any way or even to read much and then his eyesight began to fail and his 'mind to become affected, according to his own statements.

There was no ray of hope for the future, it seemed. activity,, no

usefulness, no family life, no hopefulness or brightness. Instead, darkness, despair, lonesomeness and hopelessness, a blighted life, although he had lived a clean, temperate, upright and useful life. Even while serving in the army at Tientsin, China, he was secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and kept up his membership in that organization, both at
