LEBANON HATES 10 LOSE PASTOR TO HAMMOND
for the offices of councllman-at-large has added some "ginger" 'to the election, but on the whole the first city election la proving a tame affair.
The Rev. Floyd H. Adams of Lebanon. Ind., who has accepted the call of the pulpit committee of the Hammond Baptist church, last Sunday formally tendered his resignation to his congregation. The resignation is to take effect on Aug. 1st. The Lebanon Daily Report, speaking of the change, says In part as follows: "In offering his resignation the Rev. Mr. Adams said he did so with considerable regret. His relations with the Lebanon chureh and with, Lebanon people had been pleasant and he gave up the work here only because he felt that the call which ho had received to become pastor of the church at Hammond offered better opportunities for Christian labor. "The call from the Hammond church was received recently and has been under consideration since that time. The salary Is the same as that he has been receiving here, but the Hammond church has no parsonage, which fact makes his compensation in reality less than provided here. In many respects Lebanon is a more desirable place In which to live, but the field for Christian work is greater in Hammond and that fact was the one that decided the Rev. Mr. Adams to accept the call to
the pastorate of that church. "It was with regret that the First Baptist church congregation yesterday morning accepted the Rev. Mr. Adams' resignation. Ha has been pastor of the church for two years, having come here from McMinnville, Ore., where he enjoyed a very successful pastorate. His work here has been characterized by earnestness and seal The" membership of the church has been largely increased and the congregation has prospered greatly under his guidance. He has Inaugurated a number of new Ideas in church
work here and every department has felt a new impetus. The Rev Mr. Adams i especially popular with the young people of the church and they have been his mot loyal supporters from first to last. Few pastors have been so successful as he in organizing the young people of the church for affective work. "The Rv. Mr. Adams is a preacher of more than ordinary ability his sermons having the true gospel ring and his delivery being easy and effective. He has been ably assisted In his work here and elsewhere by his wife who is a woman of broad intellectual attainments. The people of Lebanon will sincerely regret the departure of Mr. Adams and his excellent family and tho best wishes of the entire community will follow them to hteir new location. "The First Baptist churcb congrega
tion has certainly failed to grasp the
full import of an opportune situation Tor greater Christian endeavor in allowing Mr. Adams to go from this field.
Had the church rallied to the pastor's
loyal support, which his unselfish Chris
tlan service) so justly merited, in the
matter of the erection of a new church
edifice which was proposed last winter
no doubt the pastor would have been
glad to have continued indefinitely. On
the day on which the church building
proposition was presented, probably 100
of the 450 members were present, and of this number 8S votod in favor of a new church building, while only 11
were opposed. The great majority of
the membership was ready and exceedingly anxious to erect a new church building, but a few of the more wealthy members declined to co-operate In the movement and refused to make subscriptions which rendered the project Impossible. The matter waa subsequently dropped."

(Special' to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, July 5. The nut and
bolt factory, which will hereafter be an important feature of the Inland; steel mill, is nearing completion. About four hundred men have been employed on its construction for the past several months and it is expected that it will be finished entirely by August 1 and ready for operation. It is not expected to run the factory at capacity from the start, about 100 men being sufficient to do the work that Is planned for the beginning. Thi3 number will, however, gradually be increased until their will be 400 men employed In this one branch of the big plant. Most of these men will be skilled workmen who will receive good
wages and many of them will doubtless become permanent citizens of In
diana Harbor and vicinity.
Business at the mill is flourishing.

JUST HAD TO
CELEBRATE It was intended that Gary should have a sane fourth, but overjoyed by the verdict at Valparaiso, the city officials permitted the lid to be lifted fiky high and from the noises that emanated from countless pistols, bombs and cannon crackers one' would think that Gary was in the throes of a revolution. The chief celebration of the day was
conducted by the South Side Citizens' club. A parade, dancing, music, con
certs, athletic games, races, oratory
and fireworks were the events in the vicinity of Fourteenth avenue and
Broadway.
That the lid was well raised was evi
denced by the thirty-five cases on the
police dockets this morning. South end
saloons did a rushing business and bo I
much beer was drank that many of the drinkers became unsettled and for a while the police patrol was busy rushing prisoners to the station, while two ambulances were busy picking up tho
victims.
