PUN Fi AM-WIDE

PASTORS ATTEND MEETING OF IN- . DIANA FEDERATION.

INDIANAPOLIS AND VICINITY

PROGRAM IS PRESENTED

Plan* for a state-wide evangelistic and church-goins campaign similar In purpose to the one held In Indianapolis this winter, were outlined at a meeting of pastors and representatives of Protestant churches throughout Indiana today at the Y. M. C. A. building. The conference was called by the executive committee of the Church Federation of Indiana and a tentative program and policy was presented to the representatives of the various churches by the Itev. A. B. Storms, of Indianapolis, president of the state federation. It Is desired by the state federation that the Protestant churches In the state unite In the co-operative evangelistic campaign which will be held from October 1, 1916, to Easter Sunday, April 8,1917. I In outlining the program suggested by the executive committee of “.he state federation. Dr. Storms said it was not the purpose of the state body to force the plan on the various cfhurches as a Anal method of carylrng on the campaign. He said the conference had been called for the purpose of presenting the mater to the pastors of the dhurches In the state, from which they might work out a definite program. To Be Left to Churches. Methods of uniting In the state-wide campaign, he said, would be left to the churches In the various fields and he suggested that the matter be presented to the state conferences of the different denominations at their state-meetings. “It is the belief of the executive committee of the state federation,” he said, “that the time has come for co-operative action among the Protestant churches. I have eome to believe that the kingdom of God is greater than any one denomination and that the mission of the church-at-large Is the welfare of every citizen In the country whl< h It serves. “Cu-operatlon and consolidated action among the various churches is becoming more and more a means of Increasing the efficiency of the. church. The time has come when the leaders in the church should encourage that sort of consolidation. In many communities, we are overchurched. Sometimes there are too many churches in the field, and we should be willing to give way to that church which k best serving the community and people. “The purpose of this conference Is to put before the churches a working program for this campaign. It is not desired that the conference dictate the sort of meetings which are to be held, but it Is essential that there be a unity of program in time and method In this plan of building up the spiritual forces of the church.” Tentative Plan. The tentative plan as suggested to the pastors, calls for a community survey and canvass of every family in the community by representative members of the churches, gathering sufficient data as to families and church and Sunday school attendance or preference. 'This information will be distributed by a central committee. Under the program simultaneous evangelistic services will be held in as many centers and churches as possible. The month of January is suggested as the great central month for such services, but with the understanding that the entire period from October 1 to Easter Sunday shall witness a, forward movement

program.

November 19, 1916, Is designated throughout the state as church-going Sunday,when an effort will be made to obtain a large attendance on that particular day. EiXMi church will organize a personal workers’ committee upder the pastor to carry forward the program of the

Winter to Easter Sunday.

In cities or communities where it seems possible to do so, union noon meetings will be held daily In a central place, beginning January 8, or during the period of the evening evangelistic services, such meetings to be made as commanding as possible in character and in-

fluence.

CONRAD KELLER APPOINTED AS JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

County Councilman Will Resign to Become the Successor to Cor-

nelius Lyons.

Conrad Keller, a member of the Marion county council, was today appointed a Justice of the peace In Center township to fill an office that was created today by the county commissioners after It had been abolished In 1914 because there was not sufficient space on the voting machines to list five candidates for Justices at the fall election that year. Keller succeeds Cornelius Lyons who was elected four years ago on the Democratic ticket and whose term expired to-

day.

Joseph G. Hayes and Lewis W. George, Republicans, signed the order appointing Keller. John Kltley, Democratic commissioner, did not Join them. Kltley was a member of the old Democratic board that fixed the number of Justices for Center township at four. In 1914. when this became necessary because of the slxe of the voting machines. After the fall election and a few days before the close of the term of Charles Maguire as commissioner, the Democratic board gave an order to Maguire

justice, when Lyons's This order was never

April 1L-Willfam Barnes, formerly chairman of the Republican state committee, in a statement issued here, attacked Theodore Rooeevelt and denied a published report that he would not oppose the normration by the Republican psj-ty of Roosevelt for the presidency. “This year,” Barnes asserted, “the periodical candidacy of Mr. Roosevelt for President of tl»e United States is based upon Americanism, and such sporadic support as he is receiving cornea from his declaration In behalf of proper national defense. "Mr. Roosevelt is not responsible for any natural phenomenon, nor has he a .patent on the obvious. That this country [should be properly defended. «u It Is not I defended now, is not open to debate,’ 1 i

| U ia« become — that dealers are urging their cuatomera to order only their real requirement# and the dealera In turn are receiving similar advice# from the manufacturers. Practically all raw materials that enter Into the manufacture of paper have advanced sharply In price. A large part of the rag* used tn the United States by paper manufacturer* la obtained from Europe and these supplies have been cut off. Coloring, chemicals and suing, important In the making of papal, sre exceedingly scarce and also are to be obtained only at high levels and contribute much to the higher paper prices. Some sources of supply of local jobbers have been cut off entirely. Certain grade# have been bought In Canada, but the stock obtainable there Is said to be limited. Dealers make much complaint of the difficulty in quoting price#, which are steadily changing, and it is said they are unable to give a quotation that will remain unchanged for any

material length of time.

Changes in prices of staple drugs are also for higher levels, due to diminished supplies and a good demand. Camphor, which has sold recently at 63 cents a pound, I* now up to 69 cents due to limited receipts from Japan. Borax is up Vi cent to 3 cent# a pound at 8 to 1? cents. Glycerin has advanced 2 cents to 65 cants a pound. Carbolic acid Is one of the few drugs to turn easier. Dealers are of the belief that the lower trend in this line is partly due to the fact that some acid is now P being manufactured In the United States Formerly It was only refined In this country. The rise In the price of cream of tartar la due to the scarcity of crude argol. which Is a potassium acid tartrate d spoil tel f-om grape Juice in the proceaa of fennentation snl was obtained largely from France. The quinine market Is more settled than some time ago, and the pasting of th# winter season* when It Is In greatest demand, has had a weakening influence, tending the prices down . 41 06 an ounce foe five-ounce lots to 95 S. The d^g trade In nearly all line,

The eeneral list of goods is strong and demand seems to be improving with the rising Pri®^*' With the exception of the " ^*'"0 ing supplies In some lines dealers make no

complaint of the trade.

Further advances mark the leather market. Pome classes are extremely scarce, mainly the light leather used in the shoe and shoe repalrtn* trade. Advice# from manufacturers ar* that buvers are taking supplies irrespective of price. Local dealers report a good trade. Nalls used in the shoe repair business are advancing stsadllv with ail common varieties showing a gain of about 25' per cent in price over normal levels while the brass nails in many instances have doubled in price with further rises the

A generally good sentiment pervades the building trade.
