SEARCHING OUT T0WH SINNERS The Rev. Fred Thornburg Creates Sensation at Knightstown. FORMER RICHMOND MAN HOLDS SERVICES ON STREET CORNER OPPOSITE "SALOON ROW" AND TALKS ON BESETTING SINS OF MEN. The Rev. Fred F. Thornburg, formerly of Richmond, now pastor of the First Methodist, church at Knightstown, has adopted a new method to get people to church. Heginning last Sunday, evangelistic services have been in progress all week at this church ,as the Rev. Mr. Thornburg declares that I; believes revivals should be held in summer time, as well as in the winter, as they are more needed then. Kach evening last wek fc. held a meeting before the regular church service on the corner of the public square. Each time he was accompanied by a following of the women of his congregation. He conducts a regular service, and delivers a brief exhortation on timely topics. Thursday night he took up for discussion the "Resetting Sins of Knightstown," which he declared to be the saloons and their' accompaniments, gambling and pool rooms. Sabbath desecration and unbelief. Last night his subject was "Man's Standard and God's Standard." Melodies Which do No Harmonize. Within the range of the preacher's voice a nverry-go-round doles out its music nightly, mingling the airs of "Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown," with "Rock of Ages," while just across the street from where Mr. Thornburg preaches is Knightstown's "Saloon Row," and the poolrooms. Mr. Thornburg is an earnest speaker, and he has been heard every night with respect by large audiences, in which are many men who probably have never been inside a church. He says he does not. think it is Gods way for a preacher to watt for the people to come to him, but it is his duty to go "out into the highways and the byways and preach to them, just as Christ did during his ministry on earth." Mr. Thornburg is a member of the North Indiana Conference Quartet, and is one of the best known minis ters in the conference.

With the first fall month looming up in the near distance and with whiter only a few months away, the coal situation in Richmond is becoming interesting. For the first time in many years the fuel business in Richmond is split to pieces a"d competition is to be of the brisk sort, this season. In fact it has manifested strenuous signs already. There are no less than four new coal dealers in Richmond and the fight for business has begun. A great many orders have been tilled during the summer season including contracts for factories and larger office buildings, etc. The brisk competition, however, will come later when smaller orders are filled.
