Local Congregation Worships Outdoors at Snider’s Park. By the Visitor No church bells rang out the invitation to worship. A cornet sounded. Several men took their fishing poles out of the water. Their, wives stopped unpacking the noonday lunch. Young men tossed away their baseballs and put up their gloves when the cornet sounded. The choir was present but the pi jo organ was missing. The pastor’s pulpit was the ground under a big tree at Snider’s Park, a mile east of Fountaintown, Sunday. The pews were automobiles placed in a semi-circle around the big tree. There were hymn books and regular church goers to sing out of them. The choir loft was the seats attached to a big picnic table under the tree. In the choir: Melvlna Huber, 3361 N. Pennsylvania St.; Esther Hies, 206 E. Forty-Ninth St.; Alberta Chambers, 1230 Hoyt Ave.. Arthur Buchhorn, 1617 E. Michigan St.; Hilda Hies, 3261 N.

Jefferson Ave., and Howard Abraham, 1131 English Ave. This was the way the Rev. L. C. E. Fackler, pastor of the St. Matthew’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Indianapolis conducted his Sunday morning service. Opening the Bible; the Rev. Fackler read his text: Matthew 18:1-6. "The text which I have chosen for this morning reminds me of Christ’s trip to Capernaum,”' the pastor said, as he began his sermon. When the echo of the last song had died away, church was over. The rest of the day was left for the enjoyment of every boy and girl, mother and father present. Even fishing poles re-appeared. The men engaged in throwing horseshoes. ‘The reason we came to Snider’s Park was that there was a creek there so the boys could swim," the Rev. Fackler said. A truck was piloted over the twenty-five and some miles from* Indianapolis to the park by E. H. Herther, E. S. Plott, vice president of the Brotherhood, E. J..

STREET CLOSING DRAWSPROTEST Club Executive Says Injunction Suit May Be Filed. “There’s something wrong somewhere,” said Edward J. Sexton, secretary of the Southeastern Civic Improvement Club today when he declared closing of the Bluff Rd. and joining it with Meridian St., through a jog will cost ten times as much as opening the street. Under present track elevation plan, approved by the _ board of works, Bluff Rd., Barth and Bethel Aves. are to be closed. “It certainly looks like someone is trying to save the Belt railroad some money, and to throw the expense on the taxpayers,” Sexton said. Question of filing an injunction suit to prevent closing of the three streets will be discussed by the executive committee of the Club later in the week, according to Sexton. He said the suit may be filed by Councilmen Otto Ray or John E. King, the Southeastern Civic Improvement Club or the South Side Track Elevation League. __ JUDGE’S SECRETARY BACK Miss Leulla Myer, secretary to Federal Judge Robert C.
