CENTENNIAL JUBILEE COVERS TWO WEEKS
Indianapolis Has $lOO,OOO - Fund to Entertzin Al Hoosiers Oct, 2-15.
- While practically every county in the state is in some form celebrating the centennial of Indiana statehood the culminating and most gigantic celebration of the year is to be held in Indianapolis,. covering two full weeks beginning Oct. 2. The 'observance is the greatest civic ‘enterprise the capital city has ever undertaken, and it is to be a period of lavish entertainment of the higher claSs to which all the people of the state are invited. It is, in fact, to be a great civic and patriotic demonstration on the -part of all the Hoosiers and it is estimated that one million or more people will attend. It is to be a festival of -pageantry, parades, music Olympic games, motor‘)arades, famfly reunions and oratory with immense arrays of attractions and ertertainments for every day. . Nearly a score of committees made up of the most active civic workers of Indianapolis have the details of the celebration well in hand, the whole force of committees being headed by former Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter as chairman.
The business associations and individuals have contributed nearly $lOO,OOO to the guarantee fund with which to stage the huge affair. Riverside park, the largest and most beautiful civic spot in Indiana, is to be the scene of the chief pageant which will be given on six afternoons. The state Tair grounds will be used for several events as it is the only place near the Hoosier capital with acreage large enough to take care of both crowds and attractions. Murat theater will also_be utilized, while the Indiana Soldiers’ monument and its surrounding circle is to be the centerpiece of, a very elaborate scheme of downtown decorations.
All the counties of Indiana are being drawn upon to organize a processional pageant for one day. Practically all the brass bands of the state will go to Indianapolis for some of the “pa'rades and will be massed into immense concerts. The Boston Grand Opera company has been engaged to give three operas at the Murat, and it, with the massed choral societies of Indianapolis will give the grand finale of the celebration in a concert at the state fair coliseum on Oct. 15, Eighty per cent of the people’ of Indianapolis are Hoosiers who formerly lived out in the state and they are preparing to keep “open house” "to their kith and Kkin from “back home’” while the centennial festival is in progress. The whole 'city is astir in preparation for the mighty demonstration, which will be the greatest outburst of Hoosiers patriot. fsm the state has ever known.

WILSON DOES:
THE” “WHOLE GOSPEL”’
That Christian healing is an essential part of Christian ministry is certainly, even if slowly, beipg recognized in the churches. !Perhaps the most striking evidence of this was afforded by the article ‘“‘Must Protestantism Adopt Christ’an ~cience?”’ from the pen of a priest in the Protestant Episcopal cliurch,» which appeared in the December, 1913; issue of The North American Review. According to the editor of that periodical the writer of the article reached the conclusions it embodied through “his work among his own ‘people and his observations of those outside his communion;” therefore it was firsthand evidence. Within a few weeks still another clergyman of that denomination, the Rey. Henry B. Wilson, has voiced his views in an article which appeared in The Living Church. We quote from this article as follows:
The steady increase in the interest of Cnristiansin all parts of the countrg in the ministry of healing marks one of the, most deeply important religious movements of the present generation. lln certain quarters the subject may appear to be of litt/e moment; but that is due partly to the fact that the church has worked off her first excitement attendant upon the phenomenal rise of Christian Science, and partly because there is a waning of early popularity of the effort made, within the chureh, to offset Christian Science-by counter-attractions in the psychotherapy. The .attacks made upon Christian Science, while perhaps theologically satisfying, have had no results in quenching the desire of Christians for a healing ministry. More especially is this true in that, after such attacks were made, nothing was oftered in their place, and the hearers found themselves where they were when they started, i. e., without 4 healing ministry. They were told that. Chrvistian Science was ‘‘all wrong,’”’ but they were not told what was “all right.”’ Nothing from nothing does non{!eave.very‘ mueh. 2
I'hus the Christian Science sect and the healing cults had a free tield with their religion of health and their steady record of drugless cures; while the . orthiodox Christian church-mem-ber was left with. a theology which not only connected the hand of God with every illness, but also attached. to it some mysterious purpose said t® be in accordance with Hisdivine will. 1t is little wonder that under these tircumstances the healing cults were able to draw their recruits most large ly from those who were born and reared in the churches. 1t is estimated that fully nine-tenths of the members of tlhiese sects today were formerly members-of Christian bodies from which they departed because of the total neglect or erroneous. presentation of this aspect of religion. The greater part of the increasing membership is still being drawn from the same source. The missionary. work that is being carried on by these cults everywhere is most devoted and persistent, and the propaganda most lavish. Friends and former churchmembers are adept at introducing the subjeet, and a call is invariably folJowed by the receipt of several very attractive pieces of literature. Thousands of copies of The article “Must Protestantism Adopt Christian Sci ence?”’ by a clergyman of the church, have been circulated gratis in the homes of all Christians, but most largely of course among those of the church’s faith. :

30000 More Hudson Super-Sixes
We have today to arinounce:- : Lh e That more than ten thousand Hudson Super-Sixes have now been delivered to owners. _ : o n ,
That we have in four months, by tremendous exertion, qpadrupled our daily output. | e :
~ That we have parts and materials, on hand and in process, for 20,000 more of the present Super-Six. Constantly increasing demand has just forced us to place contracts on materials for an - additional 15,000. = - . - Thus it is settled that at least 35,000 more of the Hudson Super-Six will be built like the present model. Our production is now 3,500 monthly. e ' g
No Change in Sight , Our opinion is that a like announcement will ‘be made in a year from now. The Super-Six invention in one bound increased motor efficiency by 80 per cent. Fromra small, light six, which delivered 42 horsepower, it created at T76-horse-power-motor. And simply by ending vibration. - . . Stock Super-Sixes, in a hundred tests, have out" rivaled all other stock car perfermance. In speed, in hill climbing, in quick &4cceleration and endurance, they have done what was never done before. ~ No man can doubt that the Super-Six holds thé pinnacle place among motors. - And there is no higher place in sight: - - e _ After eight months of experience, with 10,000 cars, not one important improvement in design suggests itself to our engineering corp§. : So the Super-Six will remain as it is. And, because of our patents, it will maintain its supremacy. : 7 ; . - Watch th?'o,ooo. ‘ Watch the 10,000 Supers Sixes now running, and judge if you want a car like them. ; " Kach owner feels himself master of the road.

are by no means .a small matter. Many rectors are astonished to learn that some one has gone into Christian Science, ‘when they did not suspect the person was even interested in the subjeet. An investigation shows that the work and study and influence has been going on for a year or more, and that it is too late to reclaim the departing one. If any clergyman seeks solace with the comment that ‘‘the person was, after all, a very wgak and rather useless, church-member,” he may find himself pursuing a phantom consolation. He would be surprised, perhaps, to know that the one whom he had looked upon as ‘‘dead wood,” for a year or two, had, under a different environment, taken on a new life; had risen to higher levels in daily living, had become an enthusiastic worker, was a regular attendant at the mid-week services in-+addition to the regular Sunday services of the new sect, and was contributing more in a month than he or she had given in a year while a member of his church. 1 do not present this in extenuation of the departing church-member. 1 write it as a .fact, and it is worth serious thought. It is not the exception. Itisa pieture of the average oase. : :
One cannot. of course, blame the clergy for all the deflections from the church, but when one considers that the majority of these people leave because they are longing for an aspect of religion wnich Christ taught, and which the apostles practised, and which pervaded the New Testament, It -i8 sufficiently serious to cause one to question whether the clergy are really presenting thie whole gospel and also whether they are practising it. Even among Christians who are so strongly rooted in the faith that they could not desert their communion for the aetractions of Christian Science, there is the deep longing for the ministry the church fails to .provide. I have many touching letters from devout saints who are almost. in despair over tiie deadness of the churches generally on this.subject. 1t is a sad revelation of the distance many Christians have drifted from their original anchorage. .
The need for Christian healing within the church is here frankly and urgently set forth. = Not the least important statement made by this writer; in presenting th‘e'subjecb to his fellow workers, is that in 'which‘ he characterizes the situation as “sufficiently serious to cause one to question whether the élergy are reavlly presenting the whole gospel and also whether they are practising it.”” This is of course a questi'onvwhich, in so far as it relates to the particular church of which the clergy referred to a part, is not one for us to discuss. We can simply say that quite a large portion of the New Testament is given over to the record of healing done by Christ Jesus and the earliest Christians, also that he unmistakably commanded his followers to do this work. Mrs. Eddy’s contribution to the world was the Science or true knowledge which based our Master’s teachings, as well as the demonstration of this Science by lLerself and her f_ollbwei‘s in a ‘‘steady record of drugless cures.”
Forty years ago Mrs. }Edfiy, discuss~ ing this very subject, wrote (Science and Health, p. 131): ‘As aforetime, the spirit of the Christ, which, taketh away the ceremonies and doctrines of men, is not accepted until the. hearts

of men are made reidy for it.” That day is surely dawning, for in the face of existing conditions none will deny that humanity is crying out for the- healing truth which alone can’ still mortal unrest and satisfy the ' hungering heart. Then it is for every Christian Scientist so to be true to his professions, so to demonstrate that the Christ Science discovered by Mrs. Eddy is the “whole gospel,” that j.hls age may be privileged to see the .ful@ent of her prophecy (Pulpit: and Press, p. 22): “Christ will give to Christianity his new name, and Christendom will be classified as Christian Scientists.”’—Reprinted from the Chrls.tla.n Science Senglnel. :
