"Like the. historian who strives to Write a history h jcoe to the very beginning of the epoeh about which he Intends writing." he said, "and so It is with Christians who want to know Christ as He should be known th-y go to the very beginning of the Old T stamen t and read the books down to the New Testament, become imbued with the spirit thrown out by the wor-'.s of the prophets and apostles and understand properly the llfof Christ. "Ih the five early books of the Bible we bavj the finest of literary efforts. In them we are tauKht ancient history, on down to the Hook of Gospels an J the epistles of the disciples we are givt-n works of literature whlh will never tie surpassed." Mi. Edgar L.

PiO DOUBT ABOUT RESULT

MKN WHO SAY HRPMILICAN TICK KT -will VS to-morrow. Vievr of Representative Orrrilreel, Attorney fienernl Tnylor and It. O. Hawkins. "If there are any lukewarm Republicans in Indianapolis jut now, which I can scarcely believe," said Reprf sentative. Overstreet last night, "they ought to do some perious thinking about the effect of Tuesday's city lection on th State election t hi I is to tnke ulaco next fail and Upon the national election still later. Did you ever I stop to retU-ct how Indianapolis is looked upon in other parts of the State of Indiana and in the country at large? Almost any ! capital city is regarded as the central place of importance in its State, but this is especially true of Indianapolis. Our capital is the financial and commercial center of the State. Other Indiana cities and towns watch mighty closely what transpires in Indiana polls. Abroad Indianapolis stands in largf measure for the entire State. "Now then." continued Mr. Overstreet, "Republicans of the class I have mentioned ought to reflect upon the position traveling men occupy when they go out in the State and are met with the query. 'How does it happen that In State and national elections Indianapolis is Republican, but whenever there Is a city election the Democrats win almost hands down?' How are they to explain this anomalous situation? Then, too, other cities observing that th Republicans apparently abandon Indianapolis to the Democrats in municipal elections, are too apt to fall into the same careless methods. "It will look mighty bad Wednesday morning if the headlines In the papers tell of another Democratic victory in this city. It ought not to be. It must not be." Mr. Overstreet has taken a great deal of interest in the municipal campaign of this city, since he has for a long time had his home here and for a still longer period his interests have been here. He has not merely attended meetings and observed the trend of events closely, but has 'taken oft his coat' and gone to work, making vigorous addresses on many occasions. lie was asked last night for his belief as to the outcome of the election. "I think Mr. Bookwalter will be elected by a good margin," he replied without hesitation, "i :;now of no dissatisfaction among Republicans and in the meetings that I have attended I have discovered much more interest and enthusiasm than I had believed existed. The Republican organization is first-class and a full vote ought to be recorded. Mr. Taggart is not able to deliver to Mr. Maguire the personal following which has in the past greatly allied him in becoming mayor of Indianapolis. Mr. Bookwalter is much stronger today than he was two years ago and the clean, honest and straightforward campaign which he has made has done much to strengthen him with the people." ATTORNEY GENERAL'S WORK. Attorney General Taylor Is another prominent Republican who has not rested on his oars during the campaign, but has done some of the hardest kind of work for the election of the entire ticket. Mr. Taylor has delivered something like twenty speeches for Bookwalter and the other candidates. His varied itinerary of speechmaking has enabled. Mr. Taylor to form a , good idea of the general sentiment. "This city, on a full, fair vote." he said last night, "is Republican by 3,("X) plurality. Each party will probably poll betwetn C and per cent, of its vote, and I think the Republicans will get out fully as large a per cent, of their vote as will the Democrats. There will be less scratching this election than there has been for some years in a municipal election. "The German vote is always the conservative vote !n any community," said Mr. Taylor, "and is always cast in favor of a sound business policy. For this reason the debt-paying policy of the Republican party, as shown in the administration of national and state affairs. Is favored by the Germans. In common with the other conservative elements in the State, they cannot understand how a city can prosper with a constantly Increasing public debt. "Another lenient, which could not be counted on two years ago. that the Republicans will have this time will be the colored vote. It is doubtful if the colored Republican vote for years has been cast as solidly for the party as it will be Tuesday. The speeches of Democratic orators in the last few days, arraying the white and colored raced against each other, hve alienated practically all of the so-called Democratic coloted vote. "The large increase in the bonded and temporary debt of the city. also, has caused the thoughtful, conservative Republicans to take special interest in the campaign, and they will be out Tuesday to cast their votes. "For years the Democratic party has hid all of the Inspectors in the city elections, but this year we are assured of a fair and honest count. If Mr. Bookwalter is not elected by a handsome majority I shall be greatly surprised." It. O. HAWKINS TALKS. Ex-State Senator R. O. Hawkins has never been known to make rash ante-election predictior.3. His long and intimate connection with local, State and national politics has made him a conservative. Senator Hawkins has followed the course of the present campaign with great care, and wh?n he was asked for an expression last night he said: "I do not think there is any doubt at all about the election of Mr. Bookwalter. From what 1 have sten and learned about this campaign I do not think there is any doubt, provided the Republicans turn oat and vote and do their full duty, as 1 believe they will. They have a good organization, and. while the campaign has not been on the brass-band order, and there has not been a great ileal of what might be termed party enthusiasm and excitement, still there is among the rank ami rile an earnest and determined effort, it seems to me, to carry this city for the Republican partv. There isn't any doubt that the citv is Republican by a good majority. That has been demonstrated in all of the election since is4, except city elections, and to mv mind there isn't anything in this campaign to indicate that the Republicans are not going to vote the ticket or that they are going to stay away from the polls. I do not think the vote will be as large as it was a year ago, because there is alwavs a much larger vote cast ia a presidential election than at any other time, hut relatively the majority will be as good." "What do you think about the colored vote?" Senator Hawkins was asked. "I think tile colored vote is unitedly for the Republican ticket." !v said, ' and there will be a fewer number of colored men supporting the Democratic ticket on Tuesday than has been the case in any city election In the last ten years. I believe that the colored people fully appreciate that their interests demand a change in the citv government, and that thev will be found on Tuesday supporting the Republican ticket more enthusiastically than they have ever done before." MACHINE MEN TO-DAY. Thresher Manufacturer to Ilr Unter tniiieit In Thin City. To-day delegates to the annual convention of the National Association of Threshing Machine Manufacturers and Jobbers will begin to arrive at the Hotel English, which is headquarters for the convention.

The annual banquet will be held at the De.dson the night of Thursday, Oct. 21. ARTHUR BALL KILLED.

He "Worked with n Bridge GaiiR .enr IrviiiKtun. The crew of an incoming C, 11. & D. train early yesterday morning found beside the track near a new bridge a few miles east of Irvington the lifeless body of a young man. It. was taken to the station and then by the City Dispensary ambulance to the city morgue. In the man's pockets were found letters which indicated that his name was Arthur Ball, cf Connersville. loiter in the day a bridge crew which had b en working on tho biidge near which lie was found identified him as Ball. He had be:i wording on the bridge and Saturday evening went to Irvington, where he got aboard a train to go to his homo at Connersville. It was thought he got out to take a look at the work as he passed and fell or was knocked off. His body was badly cut and showed he had fallen from a forward car of the train. His parents J live at Longwood, near Connersville. He was single. The body was removed by Undertaker Tutewikr to his chapel upon request of his fellow-workmen and will be sent to Connersville. A GIDEON CAMP FORMED mi:i:tim; of traveling sai,i:smi: AT ROBERTS PARK. ntional Superintendent Charles II. Palmer, of Chicago, Present Ollleers of the Camp. Indianapolis Gideon Camp, No. 1, was organized at Roberts Park Methodist Church yesterday afternoon in a meeting marked rather by enthusiasm than large attendance. The camp is said to number thirty, the doubt as to the exact number arising from the fact that several prospective members did not attend yesterday's meeting. The camp was organized with the assistance of Charles II. Palmer, of Chicago, national superintendent of Gideons, Charles E. Ellsworth, of Louisville, and J. D. Myers, of Auburn. Ind., state superintendent. The expenses of these gentlemen are to be borne by the local camp, and a collection taken up for this purpose yesterday brought $12.S3. Wesley T. Sumley, a traveling man from Denver, Col., who expects to pass two or three weeks in Indianapolis, attended the meeting and delivered an earnest talk on the object of the Gideon organization. National Superintendent Palmer explained the meaning cf the term Gideon as used in the organization. He said: "The Bible Gideon, you know, was a fellow that was always standing in placo around the camp ready for a call to duty. That is God's idea of Gideon. This organization is not Gideonism, it is not an ism at all and it is not Gideon's Band it is a band of Gideons. It is a movement among commercial travelers to band together those who know Jesus and love Him and are known of Him in order that their lives might be purer, that their work for Christ might be the more effective, that their battering of the strongholds of Satan might carry with it more weight because of the banding together and knitting of each other in bonds of sympathy and brotherly love which you cannot get by being here and there and everywhere scattered about." Mr. Palmer said he was an unbeliever formerly and delivered public addresses against Christianity for ten years, and wnen he became converted and heard of the Gideon Society he welcomed it gladly, and now would not be without the little gilt button, which is the insitrnia worn bv Gideons, for any money. Mr. Palmer said ' , 1. n H .. O-Ai. tinrr m.-..-. In lt., Ii, I ini'ie aie irj,'' nau.ii, tuen to me u nil tu States, thus illustrating the size of the field in which Gideons may carry on their work. Mr. Ellsworth talked brieily of the good accomplished by the organization and urged the new members to take an interest in the work. Officers of Gideon Camp, No. 1. were elected as follows: President. John T. Van Zant; vice president. E. T. Matthews; secretary-treasurer. Will E. Teckenbrock; chaplain, C. L. Harnett. President Van Zant appointed William T. Chaffee director of music. Mr. Chaffee, with Lon Clark, C. H. Evans and H. C. Sickles, constituted a quartet that rendered good music during the meeting. A Gideon rally was held in First Baptist Church last nicht, at which the principal sjeakers were Messrs. Palmer and Thompson. The officers selected at the Roberts Park meeting wero appointed a committee to draft a form of constitution and also to appoint the time and place of holding the next meeting of the society. SOUTH SIDE MAENNERCHOR. Third Annlrcrsnry In Celebrated nt Tomllnnon Hall. The South Side Maennerchor celebrated by a concert at Tomlinson Hall last night its third anniversary. This German singing organization is one of the youngest of the stato tint It has been remarkablv successful in the State contests. Its director is Prof. Joseph Guntermann. In the concert last nUht the society was assisieo dMever's orchestra. Miss Emma Erber, pianist, and L'rth Young, violinist. The nocietv sang several compositions of the choral sort with unity and strength, and was as successful without the orchestra as with Its support. Following the concert the members of the society and their friends, who formed a large audience, danced. BURGLARS IN A HOUSE. The Home of 11. T. Sehmltlt Rohheil Knrly In the Evening. The home of B. T. Schmidt, of 1740 North Capitol avenue, was entered by burglars early last evening while the family was away from home. A son of Mr. Schmidt, returning before the rest of the family, discovered that the house had been entered by forcing a side window. The Louse was thoroughly searched from cellar to roof but only a small quantity of plunder taken. Among the articles missed were six knives and six forks on which were engraved "E. S.." ten teaspoons, engraved. "1:mi to 1901." a number of collars and cuffs and a pocketbook containing &5.S5. There was no clew to the identity of the robbers. LOST POWER OF SPEECH. Dnnlel lllKKlnltothnm Hit IlehinH the Ear vtith u Rock. Daniel Higginbotham. a fourteen-year-old boy living at 4J." West McCarty street, was on Meridian street yesterday afternoon with a dozen or more boys, who began to throw stones. He was struck behind the ear with a small rock, and immediately lost his power of speech. He was attended by Dr. J. Pink. Ills injury was not thought to be dangerous and his loss of speech only temporary, being caused by a partial paralysis of the nerves controlling the vocal organs At an eirly hour this morning Dr. Pink sal d the boy's condition was more serious than was at tirst supposed, and might be dangerous.

I Mrs. Bertha Doe. of :r7 South Capitol J avenue, who was taken to police headquar ters Saturday seriously id from liquor and chloral, widch ?he had taken because she claimed her husband had deserted her, was released yesterday morning upon cash bond furnished by her husband, and returned to headquarters under the intluence of the same drugs about o'clock in the evening. Her condition was much worse than on Saturday, but Dispensary doctors thought she would recover. Feed your horse JANES'S Dustkss Oat.

METHODS OF A MINISTRY

IIKV. II. AV. KKI.LOfir.'S FIRST SKIIM0 AT t'ENTUAL-AVE.M E CHI ItCII. The 'otv Pnntor In III DIcoure Outline III Pinn, The Nevr fourth ChrlNtlnn. The large auditorium of Central-avenue M. E. Church was well filled yesterday morning, the occasion being the first sermon of the Rev. 1 1. W. Kellogg, the new pastor. Rev. Kellogg talked on the subject, "The Chief Glory of a Ministry," his text being John xvii, 12: "Those whom thou hast given :ne I have kept." In part thr; Rev. Kellogg said: "It is sometimes well to begin where others have left off, to make their experience the reason for our expectation, to form our ideals from the judgments of those who arc reviewing their work. "For this reason I call your attention to this sublim.-; scene in which the Master is closing His illustrious mission and about ready to surrender His commission to the Eternal Father. He is inspecting the work of the years and estimating with clear ; judgment and lofty spirit His completed task. It is no time for sentiment, and no time for conceit. Everything is impressed with the awful sense of final determination. It is done and unchangeable. The moment is serious to the verge of sadness. What has been accomplished? In such a ministry as His many things might be mentioned, ! but only one Is considered by linn wormy of regard. In naming this we must feel that He is expressing what, to Him. is the chief glory of His ministry. It may be very disappointing to the common opinion of this world, but as ever He is right and the world Is wrong. In this moment of survey of the past he sees but one thing of which to boast. It is not that He has been able i to attract large congregations, desirable as . this might be; not that He had ministered to the needy, that the sick had been healed, j the blind had been made to see, the poor I lirifl lwon ri.nfhofl Yw f H . rnnpl Mrtletldid ilS I i vu.iiv u ' J m v. p-i i - i - such work certainly is. giving evidence of a divine mission. Not that He has been able to govern men or write books or discover facts and laws of nature or invent some world-enriching and toil-saving instrument. All this had been denied Him. He had done nothing great as men estimate greatness. He was closing His life's work with no mark of distinction that in the common Judgment of mankind would even perpetuate His name or secure His glory. Indeed, the moment is so devoid of all this that il seems regretful. But still He is not dismayed. He Is even glad and rejoices. He has named but one accomplishment. This seems to be enough. He looks squarely into the face of the Eternal Father and boasts that, 'Those whom Thou bast given me have I kept. Every one I return to Thee. I have lost but one. and I did all I could to keep him. It was not to be that he should remain. He took his own course in spite of all that could be done, but the others are here, Father, and I pray for them. A NEW MINISTRY. "To-day, beginning under such favorable conditions a new ministry, I would announce but one ideal. I long for nothing so much as for this, that when I shall have done my work I may be able to say, Father, I have kept in Thy name all whom Thou hast given me.' "This purpose may seem weak to those who are so eager for large conquests, who have the desire to see the nations saved and this great world redeemed. You almost ngret that your pastor has no higher ambitions. But be assured that the servant is not above his Lord. If this was the Master's ideal, who can conceive a higher? But I am sure that, with consideration, you will grow content. "The magnitude of the accomplishment. Let us see what this implies. Those whom He kept were men living, thinking, feeling, determining men. Men with desires and passions and hopes anel fears. They were men. This is enough to assure us that it was no mean task. Men possessed of all oower and weakness. Imperfect men, improvable men. Men subject to doubt and defeat, but capable of faith and mighty victories. Immortal men under earthly embarrassments, but capable of fellowship with God. What a charge He had. How sensitively He felt It. When He had tinished them I do not wonder that He thought he had accomplished the supremest task and was happy. And then, the way over which He had taken them was not smooth. How He had defended them from the storms and sheltered them from the "Think you that this little sentence, in which he sums no the final result, contains a history which if written would not 1111 large books? Who will ever know it all? It was an age full of territic doubts and hindrances to spiritual life and to religious faith. Only one age lias equaled it. and that Is the one In which we are living. But in spite of all he had kept them. He had not kept them as we keep fresh things from spoiling. Not as we keep things from perishing or from shrinking. No. these were men. and te keep them is to provide them with food, food fer the mighty natures they possess. No ordinary task. I assure you. "Th"V were to be kept In an environment which 'should minister to their great beings; kept where the life divine was real. Where God was no mere tradition, or image, or theory, but a reality, ministering to every longing soul and satisfying every aspiration of the spirit. Kept in an atmosphere of spiritual invigoration, where life takes on new motives, sincere convictions, lofty aspirations and pure affections. He had succeeded in keeping them in the 'divine name. AN AGGRESSIVE THING. "Does this appear like a weak thing to you who are aggressive and demanding the world's salvation? My nature strongly inclines me to be disappointed if this is all. But my nature must understand better yet. I am for increasing numbers and multiplying converts. I think we all agree in this. It certainly is desirable. But so eager have we been sometimes to gain more that T-e have not been careful to take care of those we had. As a church this has been our weakness. We have boasted of our conquests. We have a right to boast. What mighty increase we have had! Our small numbers have grown to millions. God gave us the privilege of winning from threatening barbarism this great middle West. But what if we had kept them all all. I mean, who have come to our altars? Has it occurred to us ever to reckon the hosts who have gone from us? Hosts whom we have neglected, or those whom, by our excentricities, we have driven away. Wc do not regret that men have found their religious home with other denominations. But it is not of these I speak. Has anyone ever counted our backsliders, those who once worshiped with us. whom we have let drift away while we were looking for the salvation of the world? A doubt crept In one day and we did not have the patience to treat that doubt, but attempted to kill it by denunciations and censure. A mistake was made once, and we who were spiritual did not restore such a one in the spirit of meekness and he went away from us. Some who have stumbled over our extravagances of religious fervor. They should have been considered, but they were not. What multitudes have been lost because we have Insisted on unreasonable standards. If some day these should all be collected Into a vast army and we should meet them in battle and the victory should be given to the numbers, would we not come away defeated? Or, think not of them in this light, but ask this question. If all we have lost hail been kept and educated and disciplined and inspired, and to-day belonged to the armies of God, would not their tread shake the foundations of the kingdoms of darkness? "This has been our weakness, and let us confess it. and repent. While we have been In hot hacte for some dilapidated specimen of humanity whose rescue is counted a victory worthy of being hnlded throughout the World, we have overlooked the children in our homes, forgotten the boy and the girl in the streets who were ours by divine gift and whom if we had kept would have added mighty or.es to the armies of God and saved us the terrible task of rescuing them in years afterward. A PECULIAR CONDITION. "Why Is it that a man just out of the church is often regarded as more worthy than the man just inside the church? Why is it that the man who passes inside the church ceases to be so attractive to many of us as he was just outside? I insbt that we magnify church fellowship rather than debase lt. T!k sc are our brethren : they need our attention and love. We cannot keep ait. Jtsus did not do so well. One was lost. One out of twelve. He did not turn him out. He tried to hold him to th? very last. Let it be said to the eternal credit of His name that no church trial rvt r disgraced his ministry. He was too gnat and too busily engagtd in holier work. He accepted the divine order. His executive power lay in the awful command of fate, and he needed no police to execute

decrees of right. More terrible than all condemnation of courts or councils is that tribunal of selection which executes by natural ways. 'Let him alone.' But be it remembered that Judas went and hanged himself. Jesus had no part in the execution of a heretic or a criminal. But He had kept all the others. Each one. individually, was before him now. Feter was there. That impulsive, erratic nature. How manv a time had he been held by a slender thread. Satan had desired to have, but Jesus had prayed for him. He had been an offense to the Master too often, but in spite of all he was here this day within the fold. I am glad Peter was k?pt in the church. The world Is glad he was kept. The ages to come will repoice with the Master that he was able to keep Peter. There was John Impetuous, spiteful, jealous, sensitive as a child, high-wrought and hard to subdue. But I am so glad that in some of those unfortunate moments Jesus did not grow weary of him and send him away. How much the world would have lost had John been expelled. When old and inlirm he was preaching love to a poor world and exploring the realms of love into regions where man had never before dared to enter and sending back word that love was an eternal thing and boundless as God's dominion, for God is love. ' I am glad Jesus kept him. No, He could not afford to lose any one of them. So It is with us. None so poor or weak or infirm or passionate that we can afford to lose him. When these men were finally finished in grace, instructed anel endued then the wisdom of the course was seen and angels clapped their hands for joy. THE METHODS USED. "But who can ever know the labor and patience and prayer of the Master that this might be accomplished. May I Inquire into the methods that were used to secure this result? Fortunate for us these are not kept secret. Two things He had done for them. First, He had given them God's word: 'I have given them Thy word.' Second. He had given them himself in the unity of love. "lie had given them the divine word. 'Thy word is truth.' he had said to the Father. The truth He trusted. With what supremo confidence He relies on it! He never expressed a doubt but that the truth was to triumph. But the truth He gave them was special. It was the disclosure of God and spiritual realities. He possessed this truth as we possess it. Anil to Him its expression through the prophets was reliable. He had unwavering confidence in God's voice to Israel, and the Scriptures were His truct. He never felt calletl to undermine the faith of men m the records of this people. To be sure. He scattered the rubbish which had accumulated upon the rock, though traditions and superstitions and many of the masters of Israel feared He was destroying the word and the truth. But after His work of destruction all was left that was useful, and that which had oppressed and enslaved the soul was gone, and all felt, as He. that not one jot or title of the law could pass away until all should be fulfilled. They saw tlie1 rock and felt that It was Immovable. He was the most destructive critic the worlel has known, but it was the husk which perished and not the grain. He had given them God's word. Fresh from the mouth of God He had received it, and free from the Incumbrances of human traditions and interpretations He had given it. This was enough. Like seed lie had planted it. It was to row. It was His way. He had taught the truth. On eleven instructed men He laid the destinies of the world. Tho world has never witnessed such a stupendous force as He had realiy created. The truth had led them to know God. 'They have known Thee. They were one in His love. Ye ages to come, prepare ye for their coming. Eleven men exalted to such a power will shake the world. METHODS NOT NEW. "It remains for me to say that in attempting to carry out my ideals the meth

ods I would use are not new. Nothing startling or revolutionary. The world is too old to profit by these. Only the same old regular ways. I incline to return to these from what this age has brought that is new. "We must teach. The pulpit must teach. The church must teach. Not that this is enough, but it is imperative. The truth must be presented to every mind. The truth as God is revealing It to-day and has been revealing it In ages past; the truth in its fuller disclosures as God is speaking it now. Men are to be taught that they may know God; to bring men to God, and keep them there in spite of the attractions and oppressions of this age. What a church for good would be that one where all are inctructed and trained! What bearing would this have on the salvation of the world! "If we are looking for the victory, in which the world shall forever afterward Ve our Lord's, let us look for it not by the introduction of new methods or organizations or by inflated records, but by the purification of the church that now is; by the more careful training and educating of what we have, and finally through the endowments which the God of all grace will give unto those who wait upon Him. "The need of the age is not so much greater numbers as greater service; not larger plans as larger hearts; not more members as for more grace. This, it seems to me, is where the final exaltation of Jesus rebuker and corrects us, and shows us the way to all that we desire. Eleven men, well prepared, made the earth tremble. Mr. Wesley, in a moment of great faith, exclaimed: 'Give me one hundreel men who love nothing but God and hate nothing but sin and I will take the world The salvation of the world is to be by a wise and holy church. If we look more to this we shall be helping best to securing the oillcial keeper of the Master. " THE FOIHTII CHRISTIAX. Remodeled and Refurnished Clinreh Appropriately Dedicated. The new Fourth Christian Church on North West street was dedicated yesterday with appropriate services in the morning and evening. The Rev. Allan B. Phllputt, of Central Christian Church, delivered tho morning sermon and the Rev. C. C. Rowllson, of the Third Christian Church, the night sermon. Especially arranged programmes of music were rendered at both services under the directorship of Clyde Canter. The church's new and enlarged seating capacity was taken both mornTne and evening and all the members exhibited much pleasure in their new edifice The church is not entirely a new building but has been remodeled and refurnished until it no longer bears any semblance to the old structure. All the windows are of beautiful art glass and the interior decorations and furnishings are up to the standard of a modern edifice. The congregation had talked of remodeling the building since 1S02, but not until the Rev. G. M. Anderson's pastorate began, four years ago, did the movement show any progress. One year ago last August the board of trustees decided to rebuild. The contract for remodeling was let last June for 52,710 and with the furnishings the total Improvements show an expenditure , of H.fr'O. Up till yesterday there had been received $2,4,sS toward paying the indebtedness and an effort yesterday morning to raise $2,P0, to place the church beyond debt, resulted in a subscription of leaving only $iro of remaining indebtedness.
