TREE IN PRETTY PARK TO BE A PULPIT FOP ONE SUNDA Y The Rev. Fackler Will Transport Entire Congregation to Open Air Service Sunday. The Visitor f .“lUTOMOBILES will become pews and the pulpit will be |/\.| sheltered under a big tree in Snyder’s Park in Fountain-twenty-five miles southeast of Indianapolis. This will happen Sunday when the Rev. L. C. E. Fackler of St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran will transport his entire congregation in automobiles to Fountaintown. Headed by the pastor in an automobile and followed by about fifty cars, the modern caravan of gospel carriers will leave the church here at 9 o’clock Sunday morning.

More than 200 men, and women and children are expected to go on this new idea of carrying the message. As far as known this is the first time that an entire church congregation has been transported to attend a regular service. The Rev. Fackler is a great lover of the outdoors and believes in worship in the out-of-doors. On arriving at the park, the pastor will arrange the automobiles in a semi circle. The machines will be used as pews. v From under a large tree in the park, Rev. Fackler at about 10:30 a. m. will deliver his sermon on ‘•Christ Settling a Dispute Among the Disciples.” When the service is over, a basket dinner will be served. Then the after noon will be given over the wholesome games, such as horseshoe pitching, sack races, swimming and other events. k Near* the close of the day, a , prayer service will be held and the church congregation will motor back to Indianapolis. “We have held services out-of-doors in Indianapolis but this is . the first time we have transported the entire congregation,” the Rev. Fackler said. Paul Foerster is taking along his cornet and will direct-the music. The Dorcas Society of the church will ha*’e a picnic supper at Brookside Park on Tuesday night. They will meet at 6 o'clock at the end of the East 10th St. car line. • • CONCERNING PULPIT BIBLE AT ALL SOULS CHURCH The current issue of the Indianapolis Unitarian Bulletin tells an interesting story of how the pulpit bible of the church was obtained. The story out of the bulletin is as follows: Soon after Dr. Wick's was installed as our minister, the Church received as a gift of The South Congregational Church of Boston, through its minister, Dr. Edward Everett Hale, the handsome pulpit Bible. Accompanying the Bible was a characteristic letter from Dr. Hale: “Dear Wicks, There is your nice letter which gives me great pleasure. I think, hope, wish and pray that you will have a good time. Tell your nice wife that I say so. The,ietter awaited my return from ; i New York. I went there to marry ' a young woman whom I christened and whose mother I married thirtyeignt years ago. I took the occasion to go to the agency for Oxford Bibles and pick out and buy exactly such a Bible as I should have liked somebody give me. It has the Apochrypha; it has

.WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Concerning the Macedonian Call That Came to Paul

lUt International Uniioini Sunday School Lessons tor August 23. By Win. E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor of The Congregationlist HE Macedonian call which came to Paul long ago and I * ) which was the occasion of the introduction of Christianity into Europe, has become symbolic of any call to anew and great task. It is a tribute to man’s perception of such great incidents that they become symbolic in this way. Paul was on his second missionary journey, accompanied as we remember not by Barnabas, with whon* he had had a disagreement, but by Silas. He had come as far as Troas and here a vision appeared to him in the night. We do not know just what was the nature of this vision; proWbly it was in t,he form of a. dream, but it was very real to Paul and its message was quite plain. He recognized it at once as a way in God was calling to him to anew field. In the vision there appeared a man of Macedonia. This man of Macedonia* besought Paul, saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.” “Had Many Visions” Visions played an important part in Paul's experience. Paul’s whole religious life began in obedience' to a vision. This he made very clear in his story of his experience before Agrippa. He told of the light that shone upon him as he went to Damascus, and his simple account of the matter was “Whereupon, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the ljieavenly vision.” ; The same was true in this case. Immediately he arranged his plans to go into Macedonia, “assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.” Paul came to Bhillippi,, the chief city of Macedonia, and he stayed there for some time. On the Sabbath he went out by the river side “where prayer was wont to be made.” It is not clear just who went there to pray, but there must have been some very devout souls in Philippi. Probably they were Jew's, and it is not unlikely that the reference

A winter of bitter strife culminated in the bombing of Haymarket Square, with members of the Chicago police force as victims. This is the second Mother Jones series of memoirs.

may be to a group of Christian disciples who had already fdund their way over into Macedonia, for the indication is that the disciples spread very rapidly for reasons of trade or for other causes throughout the ancient world. At any rate, Paul found this company of devout people consisting apparently chiefly of women, and upon this first Sabbath he spoke specially to the women gathered there. The result was that he won the loyalty and allegiance of Lydia, "a seller of purple,” probably a forceful, energetic business wotnan. Un-

American working men. Throughout the country there was business depression and much unemployment. In the cities there was hunger and rags and despair. Particularly- the city of Chicago was the scene of strike after strike, followed by boycotts and riots. The workers started an agitation for an feight-hour day. The employers used the cry of anarchism to kill the

movement. A person who believed in an eight-hour working day was, they said, an enemy to his country, a traitor, an anarchist. Feeling was bitter. The city was divided into two angry camps. The anarchists took advantage of the widespread discontent to preach their doctrines. Orators used to address huge crowds on the windy, barren shore of Lake Michigan. Although I never indorsed the philosophy of anarchism, I often attended the meetings on the lake shore, listening to what these teachers of anew order had to say to the workers. A bitterly cold winter set in. Long unemployment resulted in terrible suffering. Bread lines increased. Soup kitchens could not handle the applicants. Thousands knew actual misery. On the evening of May 4 the anarchists held a meeting In the shabby, dirty district known to later history a3 Haymarket Square. All about were railway tracks, dingy saloons and the dirty tenements of the poor. A half a block away was the Desplaines St. Police station. Carter Harrison, the mayor of Chicago, attended the meeting of the anarchists and moved in and about the crowds in the square. One of the anarchist speakers waS addressing the crowd. A bomb Vvas dropped front a window overlooking the square. A number of the police were killed in the explosion that followed. The city went insane and the newspapers did everything to keep it like a madhouse. The workers’ cry for justice was drowned in the shriek for revenge. Bombs were “found” every ve minutes. Hundreds were arrested. Only those who had agitated for an eight-hour day, however, were brought to trial. The leaders in the eight-hour day movement were hanged Friday. Nov.ll. That day Chicago’s rich had chills and fever. But there were no uprisings, no jail deliveries, except that of Louis Lingg, the only real preacher of violence among all the con-' demncd men. He outwitted the gallowr by biting a percussion cap and blowing off his head. Seven years later, Governor Altgeld, after reading all the evidence in the case, plrdoned the three anarchists who escaped the gallows and were sewing life sentences in Jail. He said the verdict was unjustifiable. Governor Altgeld committed political suicide by his brave action but he is remembered by all those who love truth-,and those who have the courage to confess it.

der this new experience Lydia was baptized and her household, and she invited Paul and Silas to come into her house as her guests. Hie Great Beginning, One cannot consider this lesson without reflecting upon the immense significance of Paul’s response to the Macedonian call. This was the gateway to the flood of Christian influence that was to pour upon Europe throughout the Christian centuries and it was the beginning of our American. Christianity, inasmuch as this came from Europe. If progress during these Christian centuries has not been as great as we should desire, if our modern life and its institutions have not been brought under the sway of Christ, we may at least recognize the profound influences that have come as successive Christian leaders have obeyed the Macedonian call. We must at least not underestimate the power of Christianity in the modern world, and we must not rest content until every Christian there comes a Macedonian call to extend the borders of the kingdom of God and to effect the triumphs pf the cross. From many countries the Macedonian call comes to America today, "Come over and help us.” America was never stronger to give help and service. Are we using, shall we use our strength selfishly? Or shall we devote it tp the spread of Christ’s kingdom among all men?

Fixit was drawn into the track elevation controversy today through a letter from a west side citizen, but is unable to offer any hope for the request. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Jn reading the plans of the track elevation, I see they have decided to start east and south. Why not west, as Washington St. is a through highway and W. Michigan St. and Speedway Rd. should be considered? WEST SIDE CITIZEN. Track elevation is like moving a mountain. It requires years of effort. The Indianapolis Union Railway Company, under plea of financial embarassment, has delayed elevation for maty years. Mr. Fixit is doing his best to hasten, the present elevation project and will also help when the section you mention is considered. Again Mr. Fixit twists the typewriter keys to inform a correspondent how to have weeds cut. Have the owner of property next the weedy lot call Lincoln 3311, the city hall; ask for street commissioner’s department and give i 1 detals to the clerk on duty there. DEAR MR. FIXIT: It is very annoying to live next to a weedy lot. I am not exaggerating when I say that thousands of grasshoppers and other insects are on our walk every morning until after dark. A READER. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Would you please try to get something done concerning the alley between Reisner St. and Blaine Ave —1300 block? I called the board of works last September when a number of loads of cinders were placed back of 1310 Blaine Ave. and also this spring. Placing the cinders there has caused the alley to be higher and all the water comes Into our garage and yard. MRS. J. W. ELLAHY, 1314 Blaine Ave. The only hope for relief is a petition to the board of works for permanent improvement, W. B. Hargon, clerk of the street commissioner’s office, told Mr. Fixit. DEAR MR. FIXIT: The bridge on Bean Creek is a terrible thing to have out here on Shelby St. and now that school is about to start It will be the same thing again. City ears and ihterurbans pass every few minutes and machines all day long. There are no walks for people and it sure is terrible to see little chib dren that have to go to school across* that bridge. PEOPLE ON WILLOW DRIVE. John E.
