HIGH LIFE C0IMLU1ED BY BK. 8. A. ELWOOD Addresses Sunday Afternoon Gathering at Gennett Theatre and Denounces Clubs Where Liquor Is Sold, Quack Doctors, Evil Doers, Blind Tigers, Heartless Charity.

The prodigal son of the Bible offers the best solution to the-modern prodigal who.' reaching the lowest depths, seeks a return to hia former life, according to Robert A. Elwood, pastor of the Board Walk 'church at Atlanttc City in his address, "The Prodigal Son Up-to-Date." before the Sunday afternoon men's meeting at the Gennett theatre. About 350 men, representing the smallest audience which has attended any of the Sunday afternoon theatre meetings were present. The musical program consisted of the singing of hymns, led by Oliver Nusbaum with the Gates orchestra as accompaniment. ; Rev. Elwood's description of the modern prodigal was full of humor and ridicule. He described the high life in any community and pointed out how it leads from the highest levels to the lowest depths. He drew a vivid picture of the results of prodigal living. Some of his telling points were:

"The person who invites you to do wrong Is not a friend. ' "You don't have to ee to New York

or Chicago to find high life.

"The devil would ratner nave a sweii club where liquor is served than a sneak-eaRv or blind tieer. ""

"You can't cover up the effects of

sin with fine clothes, a Tumsn Datn or a quack doctor's medicine. "A high class newspaper -won't acrAnt a nn ark doctor's advertisement.

A quack doctor who lives off the sins of men is worse than the plague as, a danger to the community. "Don't despise a tramp. Remember iiA la ova mnthar'a Vn V

"I'm aifir nt th hind of charity

which sits behind a desk and issues or

ders.

"Real charity is Christianize and moan a a nersnnal touch.

"The best way to start the New Year is to take Jesus Christ for a

friend and make botn Goa ana your self happy. "iteturn to Jesus Christ as your loving father."

in Richmond at a meeting Sunday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. was made to organize Sunday school classes for high school students for the study

of the Bible in connection, with the

Fifteen persons were present at the meeting and informal discussion of the subject was held. The. Rev. B. G. Howard called the meeting to order and presided until President Robert L. Kelly of Earlham college assumed the chair-

Involved in the proposition favored by the church and school representatives is the study of the Bible from a non-frtrian and undenominational

viewpoint by Sunday school classes composed of high school students. Written examinations will be held at the end of the term, with questions based upon the history and literature of the Bible. No attempt will be made to interpret the Scriptures. Students who successfully pass in questions on any of the four units contained in the plan of the state board of education will receive one credit in their high school work. The educational committee of the ministerial association is directing the introduction of the plan here. Principal Pickell has not decided whom he will invite to assist in nlacine the

matter before the students on Friday.

LARGE CROWDS VISIT

CHURCHES SUNDAY Unusually large attendances were

present in Richmond lurches Sunday when, annual observance of "Go to Church Sunday" was held.' Member

ships to all of the churches were increased, the pastors say.

Sunday school services as well as

Vr- morning church services and even

ing services were well attended. Scores

r persons who had become lax in

their attendance at church were also

present. In the majority of churches special services were held in the morning and in some, special services were held in the evening. The annual observance of the day had been advertised by the wearing of tags and in other ways. Practically all of the auditoriums of the churches were filled at the morning services'.

The company, which manufactures electric appliances for electro-therapeutic purposes, will continue the business under partnerShip arrangements.

TRAVEL IS HEAVY

Passenger traffic on the Pennsylvania railroad is heavier than it has been in years, and extra coaches are being used on practically all trains. The travel is unprecedented in the history of the road. Usually after the holiday rush there is a let-up, but this year it has continued, and there are no signs of its abating. Last year was looked upon as a wonderful year, but the records for 1915 will show a decided increase.

tuberculosis hospital necessary but also that authority exists for the erect

ion of one. it remains for the civic bodies and cltixens to so present this matter to the county commissioners as to impress them that the construction of such a hospital should be commenced without delay." Recommendation is then made that the primary unit provide beds for 25 patients, that the administration building be constructed for a larger hospital. He suggests that it would also

be economical to construct an infirmary for the bed cases a little larger than might be immediately equipped and that provisions be made for in

crease as soon as advisable. A tuberculosis dispensary where persons can go to be . examined and where advice can be given regarding treatment is declared, "absolutely essential to an adequately equipped and conducted tuberculosis campaign." A nurse trained in the treatment of tuberculosis should be connected with the dispensary. As a valuable part of the work Dr.

Perry recommends that public or

private charity assume the responsibil

ity of providing sleeping porches and extra bedding for those unable to buy

it ior themselves. Further recommendations include

An open-air school, a county tuberculosis hospital, a full time health of-

ncer, a strict enforcement or sanitary ordinances, employment of a school

n:rse.

The average number of deaths in

Richmond due to tuberculosis is 33 a

year, according to the report. This is a ratio of one to every 107 inhabitants.

in comparison with other Indiana cit

ies with population from 20,000 to 30,000, the ratio in Richmond is about the same as elsewhere. The number of deaths from tuberculosis during the

past three years was utilized as a factor in making the survey and the houses in which they had occurred

WILLIAMS GETS FIRST PRIZE IN BUILDER WORK

The annual observance of "Open H:u:e" at the Y. M. C. A. on New Year's day attracted the visit of approximately -100 persons. . The most entertaining of the attractions which were held was the model builders' contest held under the direction of J. J. Somerville, head ot the boys' department. So much originality and ingenuity was shown by the twenty boys in making the models that the judges, John Ulrich and John Murray, were compelled to carefully examine the (onstruction of the various models, following are the winners: Class A, Raymond Williams, a tra ling rotary rrane, awarded prize of a new motor; Class B.

"FORWARD" IS MOnO

'Forward" was the motto chosen for

the year at the First Baptist church yesterday morning. This word was also the subject of the Rev. W. O. Stovall"s sermon in which he showed the necessity of co-operation, action and aspiration to enable the church to move forward. The attendance was not equal to that on Go-to-Church Sunday last year, whole families being kept away on account of sickness.

Although segregation of all open cases in proper sanatoria would prove a good method of preventing the diseases' spread, Dr. Perry says it is impractical because a great many cases are hidden while others are not under the care of physicians, the masses have not been educated to this

point while many families are able to

provide the necessary attention.

"Having ascertained that tubercu

losis is unduly prevalent, and 'that 'a large number of the cases can not be

advantageously cared for in their homes

the question arises. What shall be done? The answer is a properly equip

cases.

Dr. Perry indicates the great educa

tional influence of a sanitorium. He

also notes that the state law enacted

The following number of deaths from tuberculosis were reported: 1912. 32; 1913, 35; 1914, 32. In 1914 the tuberculosis deaths were largely centered in two sections of the city, namely from South First to South Twelfth, and north of the railroad. The following statistics for 1914 were tab

ulated:

Deaths from tuberculosis: Section 1, South First to Sooth

An intensive study was made by Dr. Perry of conditions north of the railroad and he found that In sanitary conditions, this section ot the city was worse than any other part. At present, according to his report, there are 50 cases of tuberculosis north of the railroad. In West Richmond the ratio of 1 to 219 ts given, which shows the best conditions of any place in the city. In '. -e district from South First to Twelfth 1 out of every 96.62 persons is afflicted with tuberculosis; in Rlverda!e the ratio is 1 to 53.53; North Second to North Seventh, 1 to 75; North Eighth to Twenty Second. 1 to 164; South Thirteenth to South Twenty-first 1 to
