THE TIMES.

EASTER III HAMMOND BROUGHT OUT CROWDS . . . .. t ' "S Everybody who In any way claims affiliation with any of the Christian churches, attended Easter service yesterday. Every congregation had a rce-ord-bree' lnft attendance, despite, the dismal weather which prevailed all day. The, congregations were well repaid, too, for the efforts, they put forth, for they found nicely decorated churches In which Easter lilies predominated, they heard special music for the occasion and well thought out sermons by the respective pastors. The First Methodist church congregation made a remarkable showing, a

free will offering amounting to $1.500. In view of the fact that most of this money was raised at the meeting. It appears an the more remarkable. The money Is to be aptlied on various dbt of a minor nature, and to mitke some needed improvemenes In the church. At St. Paul's Episcopal church the 'services were the finest ever held In the edifice and the rector. Rev. Chas. A. Smith, was greeted by very large bodies Of worshipers. In the Christian church a seven weeks' Bible school contest with the Valparaiso Bible school came to a close, the latter city having snatched away victory and the contest banner at the last moment, by raising the number of points with extraordinary large contributions to the Sunday offering. The Hammond Corhmandery held regular Easter services at the Masonic tempi yesterday afternoon, the Rer. F. H. Adams of the First Baptist church delivering the sermon for the occasion, which Is admitted to be one of the finest oratorical efforts ever heard In the city. "While the day was a big one for the churches. It was a poor one for the new Easter millinery.. The weather was also a considerable damper on many social engagements that had been planned for th day. At the Hammond Country club a fine musical program drew out a good-sized crowd considering the raln INTERESTING SERVICES Easter day services at the First Methodist Episcopal church were both Impressive and very successful. The Sunday school, trader the direction of Dr.. "W. Mayes Martin, had been plan ning ror two or three week for an Easter offering. In spite of a rainy morning, there was a fair attendance. and the offering netted a little more than $160. In the morning service Dr. A. T. Brlggs delivered a splendid ser mon on the theme, "Easter, the Day of Joy and Gladness." Following this the pastor presented some of the present needs or the church, and the offering that followed together with that of th vnlng. reached a total-of fifteen "tfoTegraomri: Tt t expected that part of this sum will be used in re decorating th church interior. Th choir under the leadership of Mr. R. B. Moon, director, and Mr. Theo dora Mor, . organist, aang effectively several choice selection. The music ef the day wa rendered especially at tractive by the solos of Mrs. Mary El-llott-Henness, who never fails to charm a Hammond audience by her rare ability. Mrs. Henries ang both morning and evening to the delight of all. ' The evening program was under the direction of the gunday school. Dr, Martin presiding.

That neuraligia, neuritis or nerve pains are but the cry of the nerves for pure blood, may or may not con vey to you a satisfactory answer to th question. at is neuralgia? The pains result not alone from an impoverished condition of the blood Fcut from impurities that may gain ac cess to the system. In either event there is a fault or a deficiency in the blood, and this gives rise to the ques tion ae to THE CAUSE OF THE DEFICIENCY in the blood. This last question 13 often a perplexing one and usually calls for much careful and painsaking research. In the mean time the patient is anxious for relief immediately, and is often tempted to the use of morphine or other, harm ful sedatives. This is wrong and often dangerous. Sltce I am usually able to control these pains by the use of the high fre quency light and other electrical modalities while I am cleansing the system and repairing me nerve strength, I invite all who are afflicted to give me a call. I do all kinds of office work; treat ing to the best of my ability and with more than ordinary office ' facilities eye, ear, nose and throat troubles stomach, liver, kidney and skin dis eases, also diseases of men and worn en, rheumatism, etc., etc. If afflicted I invite your early patronage.
