JUDGE. ED WARD JACKSON

Before

Gave

Address Monday Night Methodist Brotherhood.

On last Monday evening a large audience gathered at the Methodist church to listen to an address by Judge Edward Jackson, of Indianapolis. The service was held under the leadership of th brotherhood. Judge Jackson gave a very earnest and timely address on "Personal Responsibility." For six years he was judge of the Henry county circuit court, is a teacher of a men' -Bible class, and for years has been deeply interested in the work of the church. In this address he emphasized that we are responsible for a proper use of our time. He-illustrate! the value of time by the fact that many people have reached great success in life by the use of the fragments of time given not having opportunity as others, but making opportunity. Then he spoke of the right use of our talents that God will hold us responsible for the use of the talents he give. us. Nor should we fret because he has given us only one talent. For to those to whom he has given ten talents he demands a ten talent return. The responsibility is ten-fold. Thus we should not complain because we have only one or two talents. For in the light of our resources we will do well to develop the few talents given us. If we can not fill some distinguished place, let us rememIwr that the call of today is for a great army of men and women who are willing

to faithfully serve the common tasks that are about us. To this responsibility he added that of the proper use of our material goods

The Milroy game was a speedy one, thought a one-sided affair, Liberty winning by a score of 37 to 21. As reported

used the illustration of the

Good Samaritan. Thus God calls v.s to make proper u 0f our material goods to alleviate the suffering and sorrow that may be about .us, and to bring God's Kingdom in the world., . To tins respons ibility he added that of personal influence" ib everyday life that aa men and women we are the exarifpV 'Vfome toyor girL--Som-cUiM thinks tt. f would like to be as we are.

We should live then in such an earnest and righteous manner that those about us will feel the influence of our life and the influence of Christ's life in the world.

The speaker summed up these responsibilities in the statement that the proper or improjer "use of them makes character. If we neglect our personal responsibility, we make character, but it will be a weak or zero character. If we carefully develop the responsibilities of life we build Christian character.

The right use of responsibility is con

struction; the careless use, destruction

And as a last word the speaker said that

we can build for ourselves in eternity

only the kind of house that we provide

material for. If we send only selfish material to eternity for our house, then

we will live through eternity in an in

complete house. Thus, as he closed his

address he gave as the secret and sum of

life the endeavor to develop and live a

thorough Christian character.

The Judge gave a very helpful address

that was thoroughly appreciated by his

hearers. He was cordially welcomed and

extended a cordial invitation to visit the

Brotherhood again.

The meeting was attended by Oliver La fuze, chairman from this county; Fon Riggs, of Rush county; X. X. Moberly, of Shelby; E. A: Robb, of Hancock; E. II. Wolford, of Henry; I. X. Bridgeman, of Franklin; L. S. Bowman, of Wayne;
