' "Certain trials we have in the home ,"which we do not have in the world," 'said Dr. Woelfkin, "for it takes the Vlsdoin of God to bring up children." , "When a parent says that he will "break his will' he practically says he

will 'break his boy. When you break !the boy's will you break the boy. For

that it all there is of him. You can

gnake a serf, a coward. You can make !him cringe but you cannot get true

obedience. "Psychologists will tell you that whatever the mood of the person who chastises the boy will be reflected in the child. That anger arouses anger, stubbornness arouses the same. "If we can keep a tryst at the threshold," said the speaker in conclusion, "the first thing that will happen will be the enlivening of the day. No flay is monotonous that is under the are of God." the speaker going on to beautifully .illustrate the symbol lof the thresholdin its relation to the jllfe boyond. Woelfkin Is Praised. President Hall, .before the beginning ;of Dr. Woelf kin's address, paid a trijbute to; the speaker, the audience givjlng the latter a Chautauqua salute. . V. C. Pearce followed with an ad- ' dress down' on the program as "The Men of America for the Man of Galiilee," President Hall suggesting "America" should be changed to "Inidiana," and Mr. Pearce prefacing his '.address with complimentary referencles to tne work of Mr. Hall, as President of the Association for seventeen lyears, and that of General Secretary Burnie. ', ; "I make this address to the men," stated Mr. Pearce, because there are three million more women than men in the churches of this country." , "The men are going into our Bib;a 1 schools," said the speaker, "and our j churches as never before. There never i has been an era in which men have t swung into our Sunday school ranks in (greater power." Mr. Pearce made a passionate and j powerful appeal for the study of the j Bible, both in the Sunday school and lout, for the benefits of family worship, jfor actual service and for "deeds not J words," stating that great reforms

Resolutions Report. Before' the convention resolved itelf into a sort of "experience meetling," the report of the resolutions committee was read, the report being brief 'and of a general character, stating: "Whereas, by the Grace of God we .have again been permitted to assemble 'together in convention as Sunday school workers of the great state ot Indiana, and, "Whereas, we appreciate the fact that this has been one of the best conventions ever held in our state, and believing that this is largely due to the earnest work and effort of the Sunday school people of this city of Richmond land the County of Wayne. ; Therefore be it resolved that we xtend a vote of thanks to all the mem

perfect gift from whom all blessings flow. Your committee, J. O. Skillen, Jesse Rupp, E. J. Graves. Rev. Conrad Huber, of St. Paul's Lutheran church, pronounced the benediction.

Afternoon Sessions. The afternoon was taken up with three sessions, that of the Elementary Division in the Reid Memorial church having the most elaborate program and being preceded with an elaborate luncheon in the dining room of the church. The latter was effectively arranged in the colors of the division, green iind white, profuse decorations of flow-

err and greenery adding to the effect,

CHch table having been ornamented with a white hydrangea and the columns of the room being twined with the greenery. A program of toasts was presented with Mis3 Hazel A. Lewis, state superintendent, as toastmistress, a response being elicited from each county superintendent present. Mrs. W. A. Ellis, Wayne County Elementary Superintendent, made a felicitous speech of welcome from Richmond, and happy short talks were given by President Hall, Secretary Burnie and Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner, international secretary. A formal program followed the luncheon, with an address by Mrs. Bryner on "Raising Our Standards," followed with a "Mother's Meeting" in th? auditorium of the church presided

over by Mrs. Bryner and which was addressed by Mrs. Mary Doan Hole,

of this city on "Some Tests of Effici

ency," Mr. Lee Nusbaum leading the

singing and Mrs. F. W. Krueger appearing in solo. The Secondary Division, with its su

perintendent, Mr. Theodore J. Mayer, met in the First M. E. church and was addressed by both Dr. McKinney and Mr. Pearce, with discussions , concernins effective organization and adminis-tiation.

Adult Conference. E. M. Haas of this city presided over

the Adult Division conference, in the Ebsence of its superintendent, Mr. Cornelius, which was held in the convention church Dr. McKinney making one of his characteristic addresses on "Human Nature," and Mr. Pearce

speaking on "Bible Study and the Na

tion," Mr. Pearce saying, in part.

"A nation's strength consists, first in its business prosperity. Second, in universal education, ' and, third, in

righteous, wholesome law. But no one or all three of these make a nation strong without Christian manhood.

"A nation's glory consists of righte

ous deeds which depend wholly upon the righteousness of its citizenship. A

nation's safety lies in universal educa

tion plus religious teaching. An educated intellect uncontrolled by a spiritual life is a peril rather than a source of safety. The Sunday school is the chief religious teaching agency of the nation. It therefore demands of every true parent a hearty support." Famous Class. - Mr. Charles S. Weirick, a delegate from the Young Men's Class of the Central Avenue M. E. Sunday school, of that city, which is the largest young men's Sunday school class in the United States, talked interestingly of this famous organization: "Our class has an enrollment of 295. To our teacher, F. C. Jordan, Secretary of the Indianapolis Water Company, io due in a large measure the remarkable record this class has made. "The class has been organized eight years, during which time it has grown from 27 to 295. This extraordinary increase is due to several spirited campaigns within the last two years. "The class has many activities vhich stimulate the interest of the members, and which include a glee club, summer camp, baseball, basket ball, track and acquatic teams. "We have a spiritual department which has charge of the church prayer meeting once a month. "And we have, .a addition, a bunch of live young men who have initiative .n& personality of their own. We have ihirty-two attending various colleges and universites. The constant increase in numbers has caused the class to be moved from one part of the church to another until it now occupies the church auditorium. Even rain does not dampen the' enthusiasm of the class, ISC being present on a dismal, rainy Sunday. "The class has shown its "ginger" in sending to this convention two delegates, Mr. Walter J. Thieness and myself, and we have arranged this exhibition which has attracted much attention." The exhibit referred to was one of the most interesting shown at the convention and included six handsome silver cups won in contests of the Marlon County Athletic Association, pictures, advertising stunts and many ocher novelties indicative of class orginality. The young men who make up the c lass's personnel are between the ages of 20 and 21 which makes its showing til the more remarkable.

The only representative from a colored Sunday School was Miss Bessie Keller, delegate from the Wesleyan M. E. church of this city. Her remarks at the open session last evening received a hearty testimonial from the audience.

TO BE GIVEN TEST

Economy of City Water Softener Being Watched. ,

The new water softener has been in use at the city light plant for a wt.ek. according to Supt. Johnson, it will be four or five weeks before the caving to the city, which this machine 1 supposed to make, will be determined. At this time two boilers will be Closed and cleaned, and the decreased amount of dirt and lime in the flues, if there is any, will be one means of judging the efficiency of the softener. Careful account of the amount of coal consumed has been kept and the decrease, if any. since the softener apr aratus has been installed, will be another means of judging the saving to the city.

As Othars Se It. . Every two of three weeks I approach my house from the. unusual side and make a note of the effect of porch, windows and the curtains. Then I try to go into the house as a stranger. Pictures which have become so familiar that they were a part of the wall I see the need of changing, and so I see things all through the house. I think more than anything else I find the rooms overcrowded and fussy and something can be banished. Of course I can't always do these things at the time, but I make a note of them. This has worked so well with my house that I a m trying it for myself. When dressed for the street or house I step to the glass and say, "Let me present you to Mrs. ." and try to look at myself as a stranger, and I see many things to improve. It is a good thing to "see ourselves as others see us.--Harper's Bazar. The Lobster's Color. The shell of the lobster is imbued with a black or bluish pigment secreted by the true skin, which also gives out the calcareous matter' after each molt, so that lime and pigment are blended together. This pigment becomes red, pale and intense in water at a temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and the same effect is produced by the action of alcohol, ether and various acids.

AMERICAN Dlt a. Chronic ana Acuta, ih Digastivo Organs. m. a phase of dyspepsia ' been called the American very common, and its disTSiptoms are but too well . ronie indigestion, or dysI rj prevalent, and in med1 a acute disease is opposed t v the sense that while a cl M runs a long time the ac is attended with serere sy J Is likely to come speed ily V,r ' Acat iJgestion. therefore. Is a condition In which the digestive organs, because they are either naturally weak or are worn out, overworked or temporarily abused, fail to perform their functions and the whole system is thrown "out of gear." This may be due primarily and directly to overeating or to eating improper food, to gorging the 6tomach with inadequately masticated food, to retarding its normal action with too much liquid or to other local influences. In cases of acute indigestion or dyspepsia there generally is Intense pain, often followed by sickness and vomiting of the surplus or offensive matter by which the stomach seeks to correct the effects of abuse and regain a normal condition. But it does not always succeed. Other measures of relief also fail, the machinery breaks down, and death ensues. The main difference between chronic dyspepsia and acute indigestion is that one is slow death and the other quick. The moral as to dietetic habits, eating and drinking, is too obvious to need pointing out. Indianapolis News.

it Errata. er ooce determined u. pwUsh t Ukst one book which should be faultless in the matter of errata. He had the proofs corrected by his own proofreaders with the greatest care until they had exhausted their skill and patience- and -assured him that there were no longer any errors to be eliminated. Taking duplicate proofs of the last revise, he sent them to the universities and other large publishing bouses, offering large money prizes for each error discovered. A few errors only were found, and after every one had a chance to detect any additional errors the plates were made, the book printed, expensively bound and sold as an absolutely perfect book and unique In all literature. For a long time this was concedeil. but six or eight months after its publication a letter called the publisher's attention to an error in a certain line and page. Later a second wa announced, and before the first year had elapsed some four or five errors had been reported. Charles Winslow Hall, in National Magazine.
