Mr. Coppes, who was alone in his car, was uninjured. Mr. Coppes was driving south, on his way home from Goshen, and’Mrs. Stouder, who. was taking her brother to his home, a short distance from her own, was driving west. At the cross roads, the cars collided. All of the occunants of the Ford were thrown out, and the smaller car was practically wrecked.

A well filled house listened to able discussions on “The Need of Our City Missions,” given by Mr, Gsewalt and Rev. Wai. Weaver, both of Elkhart. Mr. Osewalt led the discussion, folb.wed by an able discourse on the subject by Rev. Weaver, who pro-' claimed that the problem of the targe city and city mission was only a recent one, as-many of our cities have sprung up and become large cities in the last few generations, in the age of inventions, machinery and large-industrial factories which have induced the growth of cities. Take lor example Chicago, sprung up, as it were, like a mushroom over night, with all its filth and vice, sin and degradation. Many children are growing up, so to speak, in the streets with no moral or religious training, driven to vice and theft In order to maintain,existence. The problem of reforming existing conditions is before us and It must,,,be solved sooner or later. It is the duty of us as Christians to bring to these unfortunates, moral and religious training and to sehd them of our means to better their physical as well as their spiritual condition. The hope of the missionary lies in the rising generation. Not much reformation can be expected among the older class of people but great results can be expected amqjig the older Class of people but great results can be looked for among their children and grandrhildren, if proper training and*'influences are brought to thrrt).
