Dodd before a crowded church Sunday evening in the fifteen-day revival service he and Harry Maxwell of this city are conducting at Wesley Chapel.

Pleasant, Brick Chapel, Bainbridge, and quite a large delegation from Greencastle. The Rev. Dodd took for his text: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cro - - and follow me.” The speaker emphasized that Christ came not into the world to be ministered unto, but to minister unto others.

Dodd. “In selfdenial for service of others you must save your time, energy and talents for the uplifting of mankind.” Among the good things which the speaker said aro the following: “The cross of the human race is the burdens of the people. Let us hear them as Christ laire the cross. It is going to be the Christians who will save this world from anarchy, misery, strikes and wars; get in line and he with the crowd which does the worthy things of life.” At the dose of the service ten people came forward, making the total about thirty who have been converted. The meeting will continue until next Sunday night. Next Sunday an all-day meeting will be held, a basket dinner at noon being a fea-

mate connection with the big packers prior to his Senate job. Congress, at a time when co-opera-tion and team work is necessary to meet the problems and solve them, is bitterly opposed to the President for political reasons. The campaign of 1920 is on and there are a large number of Republican Senators with presidential ambitions. Ordinarily they might have courage, but now when most needed theij- courage is stolen hy “thinking too much about their
own future."
It is becoming more apparent every day that Congress must soon face the issue of the high cost of living as well as the railroad problems. It cannot dodge and the thousands of letters reaching Washington—making it unmistakable that the people are tired of political by-play and the effort to shift responsibility. Instead of grasping the opportunity to show real leadership and the ability to govern the nation, there has been nothing but desire to let the President do it. Not

Fred Tucker, who recently returned from army service, was arrested Friday on a warrant sworn out by his uncle, Henry H. Dickey, who lives in Madison township, charging that Tucker had unlawfully taken his automobile. Tucker, it seems, went to the Indiana Portland Cement Company plant Thursday, and while his uncle was at work there took a Ford car belonging to the uncle and started off on a ride which did not end until after midnight that night. The uncle learned that the young man had taken the ear and sworn out the warrant against him. Tucker said his uncle had told him to take the car at any time it needed working on and fix it and that he took the car to test out the engine. The uncle says that he had previously had Tucker work on he car, but had recently told him never to take it. Tucker refused to plead guilty and was sent to jail pending trial. His bond was fixed at
