BEGIN REVIVAL AT NEW CADLE TABERNACLE Thousands Attend While Gipsy Smith Dedicates Temple of Worship. TALKS ON HOLY SPIRIT A long period of religious revivals opened yesterday afternoon and last night at the Cadle tabernacle by Gipsy Smith, the English evangelist, will be carried on beginning tonight by B. W. Blederwolf, evangelist, who will be followed at the end of three N weeks by Bob Jones. Services will be held In the tabernacle each night at 7:30 o’clock. The doors will be opened at 6:30 o’clock. Gipsy Smith, who is looked upon by many Indianapolis persons as the greatest living evangelist, was greeted by enormous crowds, particularly at the afternoon meeting. He was greeted by many friends made during his campaign here last March and April. The evangelist spoke last night on the Importance of the third member of the Trinity—the Holy Spirit. “Never was there a time when theChurch of God was so rich as it Is today, in buildings. In numbers, in men and in organization,” he said. “Never has there been a time when we have had so many great preachers. There have been times when some have stood out but that was when there was so few great ones. Now there are so many you don't appreciate them. ONE GREAT NEED OP CHURCH. “Then what is lacking in oflr churches? I'll tell you. It Is the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. There is no substitute for the Holy Ghost.” ne declared he recently examined the hymn book of a great church and found that out of 1.000 hymns, only twenty-five had to do with the Holy Spirit. “For every sermon on the Holy Spirit there are one hundred on other subjects. but without the Holy Spirit there can be no church. If you want to know the future, go to the Holy Ghost. If you want to know the secrets of the eetrnal, walk with God; don't grovel in filth. “Jesus came to reveal the Father. The Holy Ghost has come to reveal Jesus. There is no salvation without the Holy Spirit. Those In whom He dwells will reveal the Holy Spirit. “ ‘Know ye not that ye are the temples •f the Holy Ghost?’ Know ye not .hat that is the divine purpose?” The evangelist said he wondered what Paul would do if he should come to preach to a modern congregation He seid he believed Paul would ask as he !Id at Ephesus, “Have ye seen the Holy Ghost?” ‘‘l am not surprised that Jesus is jected, for the eyes of those who reject Him have not been opened by the Holy Ghost,” the Gipsy continued. “If you have not seen the Holy Ghost you will be as sounding brass an da tinkling cymbal. It will do no good to wield the .sword of the Holy Ghost with an arm of flesh. It Is God's method to use you. You can't nse God.” He declared that not a sinner was Converted from the onieiuetion until I’entacost, when the Holy Ghost came. He declared that "it is not personal magnetism. but power from on high that is getting results here.” great need OF HOLY SPIRIT. “If the Holy Ghost is not in your heart there Is something there that is keeping the Holy Spirit out,” he continued. “Some of you men and women profess to be Christians, but you are floored every* day by temptation. You are trying to fight your own battles and losing. Why don’t you get reinforcements from above? The spirit-filled man meets temptation like everyone else, but wih temptation comes the means of escape. Is that the kind of life you are living? “On the day of Pentacost they spoke. I defy you to' be a silent member of the church If you are filled with the spirit. You talk politics until you are mad. You talk movies and pleasure and other peoples' business until you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Why can't you talk Jesus? You haven’t enough Jesus to talk about—that’s the answer.' He declared that when one Is filled with the Holy Spirit he Is willing to do the little things in the church as well as the big ones, willing to work behind the scenes as well as in the spotlight. “When you are filled with the Holy Ghost you will see God,” he said. “You will see God and heaven and eternity, and you will understand them all. It takes an artist to see a picture on a canYas before a brush has touched it. It takes an artist to see an angel in a block of marble before the mallet has struck a blow. It takes love to see the possibilities in a man.” EVANGELIST'S FINAL APPEAL. When Gipsy Smith made his final appeal more than half the audience of 10.000 persons arose to their feet. A large number came down the aisles to shake his hand and make their pledges. E. Howard Cadle. who built the new tabernacle as a tribute to his mother, made a short talk expressing his appreciation for the support he has been given and declaring “we are going to run the devil so far it will cost him $lO to send us a postal card.” ne introduced Mrs. Cadle as his “pal,” who “stuck by me when I yvas down and out.” Both Gipsy Smith and Charles McEwan sang before the sermon. The huge choir of more than o'ne thousand voices participated. A number of students from the State School for the Blind attended the meeting and at the request of the evangelist sang alone. The invocation was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Biederwolf. The tabernacle was formally dedicated at the afternoon meeting. The evangelist was introduced by Mayor Charles W. Jewett. During the course of the dedication services Mr. Cadle introduced his mother, in whose honor the building was erected.

Wall street Is supposed to be the barometer of business. The tape, It is said, never lies. If that is true the steel Industry is on its way up. Within the last few months United States Steel common sold below 71. It is now in the neighborhood of 80. Various railroad chiefs informed the present writeV as to the very scant supplies of steel they had in stock and when they would be forced to buy. From one of the great steel concerns the information came that they expected to resume on railroad orders in November. Necessarily the railroads will buy sparingly, but in many lines of steel their needs are urgent as never before. It is reasonable to expect the steel industry as e whole will be on a basis of from 50 to 60 2-3 per cent of capacity this winter. There has been a change for the better with the railroads. July and August earnings were good. Many roads are far behind in the paying of rhelr bills but the change In their earnings warrant the making of purchases which ;six mouths ago would not be consideredi Larger In effect than the earnings of/the months
Boy Falls 60 Feet Off Bridge; Injury Is One Broken Bone Falling 60 feet from the railing of a bridge and suffering nothing worse than a broken collar bone and a variegated assortment of brnlses was the unique experience Sunday that fell to the lot of John Meyers, 15, 111* South West street. The boy was walking the railing of the Morris street bridge orer White River when he walked into an eloctrlc light poet and fell. He landed on a narrow strip of ground close to a bridge abutment. The police found it necessary to send to headquarters for a boat before young Meyers could be rescued. He was sent to the city hospital.
of July and August Is the improved credit position of the carriers. RAIL SECURITIES IN BILLION GAIN. Incidentally a person interested In such things might observe what the advances In the stock market value of railroad shares and bonds in the last few months measure A computation shows an increase of a billion dollars in the market values of those securities. Except as to cotton no major production of the county has shown such a radical change suddenly as lumber. A few months back It was deadly dull as to demand. Today there is a comparatively strong market. Whether it is a flash In the pan or the real thing remains to be seen. On the Pacific coast inquires and orders are coming in colume Cargoes &re going to the Orient, to the Antipodes, to Africa and to Latin-Amer-ican. Japan is particularly heavy buyer. The national railways of Mexico, is in the market for a lot of stuff. The British government bought largely for some project In Egypt the order coming through the admiralty. Inquiries from the railroads are reported. One of the largest exporters In America told the present writer he did more business In September than In any month In six years and never knew orders to come from so many parts of the world at one time. The crops are good, particularly In the Northwest. The farmers are better ofT financially than they expected from the conditions earlier in the year. Fruit growers west of the Mississippi have fared particularly well. Those of the East have had a disastrous year. SHIPPING makes BETTER SHOWING. Shipping shows better than expected. This applies to the Pacific. Asia is a persistent buyer of American flour and American lumber. It would appear that there either Is a shortage of rice In the Orient or that Asia is turning more and more rice to flour. There is no sign of improvement In the copper Industry. Those best informed say it will take a year for the present gigantic surplus to be rtduced sufficiently to warrant production on an extended scale. Today copper production in the great Porphyry district Is on about 15 per cent basis. Road building is on a larger acalo west of the Mississippi than ever before. The main highways in many of the Western States are much better than those of the middle States. The westerners, particularly those of the mountain country find good roads bringing profit in tourist traffic and is reduting transportation costs on many articles necessary to their well-being. High railroad rates hurt In the West, and If there Is not a revision soon the protest that will go up will be beard throughout the land. The apparent change for the better In base Industries of America—textiles, agriculture, transportation and steel, would seem to warrant a fair degree of optimism, but the greatest change has been in the mental attitude of the average man of business. He has been a man of doubts and dreads for many months. That's passing. He has hall some bitter, very bitter, experiences and Is Inclined to be a bit hesilant today about acting with his old assurance, but his confidence is growing, and with it a better appreciation of sound business principles—Copyright, 1021, by Public Ledger Company.

Plan to Abolish Single Offices for City Colons Dwight S. Ritter, City Purchasing Agent , Suggests Modern Methods .
Abolition of private offices for city officials and substitution therefore of a large, modern office room in which the mayor and all his department heads would be situated constitutes a much needed forward step in municipal government, in the opinion of Dwight S. Ritter, city purchasing agent. Mr. Ritter has studied the municipal machinery for almost four years while serving under Mayor Charles W. Jewett and has been an advocate of the application of modhrn business methods to the administration's work. Search for quarters for thi city plan commission in ,he already overcrowded city hall led Mr. litter to express the opinion. It has been suggested that the purchasing department be crowded Into one of the two rooms beside the board of public works suite It now occupies and the vacated room be given to tlx assessment bureau of the board of publb works. The assessment bureau would b t moved from the third floor and the city plan commission would be assigned to the space there, next to the park department. Crowding of his department inti one small room was not to the liking of the purchasing agent so he Is seeking some other solution. If all department heads had their desks In one room on one floor much less space than now is used would be required. Mr Ritter believes. Many other advantage.' would ensue. “There was a time when the movement was toward private offices,” said the purchasing agent. “The reason for this was that there was a chance for people to concentrate. But It has been found that there was a loss In eo-operatlon and in the speed of doing business when executives sit In private quarters. "Here in the city hall we go up and down from one floor to another and the distances are so great that It takes a long while to get there. We! can telephone but we don’t get the answer we can by personal contact with several people. “What I hope to see some day Is an arrangement for direct action so that the people coming into the city hall will approach an Information desk where they learn the best place to go to get information or present any subject. “The department heads ut least could all be on one floor with the mayor in the same room. We could have an assembly room for holding various board meeting* instead of separate rooms for every board, as we now have It. The board of public works could use the assembly room on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, the board of public safety on Tuesday morning, the city council Monday evenings, the city plan commission Tuesday evening, and the board of park commissioners Thursday morning.” Housing of department heads in one open room would be particularly advantageous, Mr. Ritter said, because It Is well that public business be done In the open. “The fewer partitions and private rooms the better. It does Interfere a Gittle bit with Individual efficiency to liave as many interruptions as would come with such a system, but I think that the people would be glad to pay a little extra help necessary if they could get direct action from officials, get to officials quickl.r and get yes or no with the aame dispatch possible in a private corporation. "It would make It harder for those who had special privileges to ask to hold whispered conversations, because those fellows like to ask them out in the open. It would show up who Is not working, and it would permit Interchange between departments so that those who were not busy in one department might help out those who were rushed In another. One of the big things it would do woyld be to promote morale in the organization, because lr an open group In an open form of organ;- .'.on each member would know more of the plans of the other and cooperate accordingly. “There would need to be some smaller conference rooms and possibly a law library. There Is no reason why all files of all departments could not be kept In one filing department with compe- j

tent trained persons In charge. One bookkeeping department should suffice, as it does in any big business enterprise.” While department heads would be placed In the main office, subordinates could be housed elsewhere, according to their necessary duties. The present administration has taken one or two minor steps in the direction of consolidation of bookkeeping, such as the purchasing agent suggests. For Instances ail books of departments under the board of public works, such as the street cleaning, street commissioner s, etc., which formerly were kept at the various headquarters if these branches now are kept at the board's office. The board of public safety does the same for the police and ftre departments. Much of the space In the city hall is wasted In large board rooms. The board of public works has one, the board of public safety another and the city council has chambers which will seat about 301 people. The board of works room is used only three mornings a week. That of the board of safety is used about one Lour a week and that of the city council Is In use regularly only the first and third Monday evenings of each week. The council chamber or some room of the same type might well serve for all board meetings, under Mr. Ritter's suggestion. One of the shifts in offices to provide room for the city plan commission which has been suggested Is that the board of safety's court room be turned into an office for the building department and the latter moved there from Its present quarters oh the second floor. The department has four rooms In Its present suite one of which Is not In use. The plan commission could lie Ideally housed here, some officials believe.

DONATES LAND TO INDIANA FOR PARK PURPOSES Wealthy Chicago Man Would Preserve Beauty Spot Near Versailles. Joseph Hassmer. wealthy Chicagoan, formerly a resident of Ripley County, proposes to donate to the State land nnd money to the equivalent of $25,000 [ for the establishment of n State park near Versailles providing citizens of the county match his proposal with a least half this sum. according to announcement today by Richard Lieber, director of the State conservation department. Final decision of the State’s acceptance of the proposed gift rests with Governor Warren T. McCray, Mr. Lieber said. W. A. Guthrie, chairman of the conservation commission; Mr. Lieber and Mr. Hassmer have returned from inspecting the site of the proposed reservation. The land is situated near Versailles and Joins the city's east corporate limits. There is considerable timber on the tract which to a great extent Is scarbrous and decidedly picturesque. Laughery stream winds through the place and provides excellent piscatorial sport as well as potential bathing beaches. One point of Interest rich In local history Is Gordon’s Bluff, well within the confines of the prospective park. This bluff Is about seventy feet high, terminating In a sudden break to depths far below. Years ago, older residents tell the visitor, Jonathan Gordon, a young man of the neighborhood, studied medicine and surgery. He conceived the Idea of looting a local graveyard to obtain a corpse for experimental work, but when the fact was learned, Indignant citizens organized a posse with the Intention of lynching him. Fleeing from them In the night he plunged over the high cliff and only the fact his body alighted in the trees in the ravine below saved him from death. Badly hurt he was apprehended and for some reason the lynehlng plan abandoned. At the trial Gordon defended himself so ably the Jury acquitted him. This incident changed his career, for It developed he possessed talent Jury pleading so lie studied law and entered the legal profession. Later he became a resident of Indianapolis and during his active life was known far as one of this State’s most capable criminal lawyers. Mr. Ilasmer proposes there be 500 acres In the park. He agrees to put up In land and cash a sum equivalent to $25,000 if Ripley County people will raise at least half this amount. Land to be purchased Joins a tract he proposes to donate.
