came one of the largest congregations
in Hammond.
While Sharp was carrying on his
campaign for funds he did not con
fine his attention to Hammond. He
went down stajte and actually induc
ed non-residents to contribute liber
ally towards the Hammond building project. In fact every Christian church in the state became aware of the fact that the city of Hammond
had a "third rail" in its result getting pastor.
Rev. Sharp wanted to give the
frieds of the church over the state a
chance to see what had been accomplished in Hammond. The state convention of Christian churches was
accordingly scheduled to be held in
that city.
To make this convention a success
Rev. Sharp has proceeded in his usual
energetic manner. Thousands of posters have been sent out all over the state and it is expected that fully
1,000 visitors will come into the city
to attend the convention. Among
these delegates will be many of the wealthiest and most influential resi
dents of the state of Indiana.
Rev. Sharp asks the people cf
Hammond to entertain them during their stay here. He wants Hammond to get a reputation for hospitality that will advertise It favorably over the whole state. He is public spirit-
ed enough to want to take this opportunity to give at least one person in every city and town In the stat-i a favorable impression of the world famous Calumet region. So the automobile owners in the region are to be called upon to furnish enough cars to take the entire visiting delegation for an automobile ride through the cities of northern Lake county. At least 200 automobiles are needed. Rev. Sharp wants to put on the most gigantic, stupendous and most remarkable automobile parade the region has
ever seen. And you can bank on it that he will do so. Even the piker
likes a winner and when Sharp says he is going to do a thing he usually does it.
Sharp is appealing to Hammond's
hospitality, to its spirit of local prid
He wants Hammond to make a good impression on the state at large and
the fullest co-operation of its citizens
in this project will be appreciated
Hammond owes this to its "third rail" preacher for what he has don9
for the city.
Four years ago today the Lake
county democratic convention held in Gary and the steel
democrats gave a big barbecue in Broadway and Eighth avenue where the present Bite of Armour and companys' branch office is. Judge Ora Wildermuth was president of- the convention and Ex-Congressman Ben Shively of South Bend, now United States Senator, talked for three hours in the big convention tent at Tenth avenue and Broadway.
Six years ago Saturday, nine days after Gary was founded, the Northern Indianian, Gary's first weekly newspaper, was issued by Thomas F. Costello. Its offices were for a long time In a tent where the present South Shore depot now stands. Tha appearance of a newspaper In a town nine days old and within only a
couple of new shacks and tents caus
ed considerable surprise.

entnusiastic man dropped into the community and proceeded to elbow
his way Into the center of the crowd
About the time that everybody had
turned to see who was disturbing the
peace the thin, wiry, energetic, enthusiastic man raised his hand and informed the people of the town that he was Rev. C. J. Sharp of the Christian church and that he proposed to build the finest church edlffice in the city on Calumet avenue. At that time the Christian church did not have a large congregation and the members of it were not possessed of what might be termed swollen fortunes. Even they were a little skeptical. Rev. Sharp started out on his campaign for members and for money.
He proved to be an excellent business man, a splendid organizer and also a good prophet for within a short time a splendid church edifice was
built and the Christian church be
DESTROYING ILLUSIONS. Somebody told Howard Swarhout, a Kawrenceburg lad, age 10, that if he would sprinkle the tail of a redbird liberally with salt it would flutter Into his arms, become a pet and thrill him with its song as long as it lived. The boy believed the story, Just as he believed that fairies inhabit the dells and forests, so when he saw a red bird flitting and twittering in the back yard yesterday he determined to capture it. Filling his pockets with the magio'salt the boy climbed the tree from which the bird was singing a solo. He reached out his hand to sprinkle the salt, the bird flew to a higher branch, there was a crash of twigs, a scream, a thud, and Howard was picked up from tha ground. He had a broken arm and had a deep gash In the forehead.
And yet adults will continue as long as the world wags to play fast and loose with the imagination and
child-hood beliefs of the young. How
a grown person can seek to shatter
illusions in children, break their
faith and otherwise maltreat their
mental and spiritual growth is lnex
plicable.
