SIPGELAND GLASS STARTLED QUAKERS BY SINGING HYMN

G. G. S. in the column conducted In the JndianapoISs Star by Kate Mllner Rabb has the .following to say about the Quaker settlement at Splceland: "I have been much Interested In the articles about the Quakers, with a call for others," writes G. G. S. of SpiceJand. "and they have brought to my mind sbme of the incidents I have heard my mother relate while living in one of the oldest and largest Quaker settlements of the state Spiceland. "This Splceland Quarterly Meeting Is still a living center of Quakerism, though the customs and manners have changed much, as the following will prove. Nearly half a century ago the large academy founded by this Quaker church, and situated in the same yard with it, brought many students from all over the state, for schools were few then. Clarkson Davis, th$, head of the school, was a devout Quaker of sterling character, and has left the impress of his life upon hundreds of men and women all over the United States. He not only taught the subjects in the curriculum, but he cared for the souls of the students also, and every 'Fourth day morning the school marched in a body to 'Fourth day meeting,' and sat in reverent worship for an hour, often without a word being said. One remark I have so often heard about Clarkson Davis is,, that tig-made it his business to know where his students were every evening and also demanded a certain amount of study by each student each evening. J "But this is my story proper:- This Spiceland . Quaker church was up-to-date even in that far time, for they had a large and active Sunday school. In this Sunday school was a class of young people taught by a godly man, Dr. G. D. Baily. The strictness of the Quaker rules forbade an instrument for music of any kind in their churches, or a note of song. But this class of young people one Sunday deeded

among themselves, without the teach

er's knowledge, that they wanted to I sing a song a hymn and so after the lesponj the class rose in their places

ana unaccompameq ana unannounced

they sang one of the old hymns. Their

only purpose in doing thiwas to give praise to God with the life and spirits

and talents they had, but the old time

Quakers did not see it that way, and

the elders appointed a committee to - 'wait upon' the teacher of the class, as ' they supposed he had been guilty of

planning the deed.

"On the contrary the good old doctor

- was heart-broken at the thought that - his class would thus disgrace him by breaking the Quaker form of worship.

'.; He wept bitterly, and the members of

.1, the class were much afraid of banish

ment from the church. But it has

2 been a great source of pride to me that my mother, Emma G. Ballenger, was n- one who helped to sing the first song ever sung in the church where I now attend divine worship, and where "loud sounding cymbals" have since been -: made to praise Him. Music then was - considered 'an instrument of the devil' i and so. this bold deed of the Sunday school class created great 'concern. "Thi3 same teacher. Dr. Bailey, was ' such a strict observer in letter and spirit of the Sabbath day, that many : years later when the interurban cars - began running through the town, he ; made an effort to get the company to make no Sunday trips, as it seemed to him a desceration of the Sabbath."

DIRT" FARMER NAMED -FEDERAL RESERVE MEMBER

Mir

Milo D. Campbell. "The best dirt farmer for miles round" is the opinion held of Milo D. Campbell by his neighbors at Cold water, Mich. Campbell has just been named "dirt farmer" member of the federal reserve board, a position created by a recent act of congress. President Harding made the appointment.

GIVES SIDELIGHTS ON .1889 ASSEMBLY

Z Interesting side-lights on the India

Z. na legislature of 18S9. at which time

Arthur LJndemuth, local lawyer was

Republican floor leader and leading minority member of the ways and means committee, are given in the

- "Old Wine in New Bottles" depart-

ment of the Indianapolis Star. -An ex ; cerpt follows: - "The Legislature of lSSJThad a D'em

ocratic majority and "Jim" Rice own-

f-d it in fee simple. T. Taggart and C. Fairbanks - were still" merely local

' politicians, not quite so powerful as -John Lamb and Charlie Jewett .'(not T our Charlie, but the big lawyer at New

1 Albany) were in their particular bailiwicks. Mason Niblack was speaker and Arthur Lindemuth, now a leading lawyer and capitalist of Richmond,

was Republican floor leader and lead

ing minority member of the ways and

means committee.- He was a mos

agreeable gentleman and I used to like to talk to him, but our friendship

brought upon his devoted head much

, odium that he could not understand

" at the time. This committee had two

: highly important measures to frame 1, a new general tax ..bill and the ap

propriation bill. I; published them

both before they were presented to the House and the natural inference was that I had gotten the details from

Lindemuth. As a matter of fact, Lin-

;; demuth was too conscientious even to tell me a word, My "pipe line" was -one of the Democratic members who

"afterward - became somewhat promi

Dent in the politics of the state. It

lall seems quite trival now, but the

T way I used to sneak up to that member's room in the Grand hotel at the dead of night made It highly interesting and romantic then.

ENTERTAIN ATHLETES AT CHURCH BANQUET The basketball team and football squad of the Richmond high school were guests at a banquet held Tuesday night by the T. Y. F.

BACKERS OF CONCRETE

AND ASPHALT ROADS ? ARGUE OVER MERITS

CBy United Press) CHICAGO, Jan. 17. War between the backers of concrete and asphalt roads was expected to break out at the Good Roads Congress here today. The opening gun will be fired by Colonel Keith Compton, of Baltimore, who declared he was prepared to bring before the convention certain charges made by the asphalt association against the Portland Cement company. The cement according to asphalt men, attempted to bring pressure to obtain increases on railroad rates for asphalt. v Compton declared his object in making the charges was to impress the public with the needless price being paid for good roads. "A billion dollars is spent each year on American roads," F. E. Pennypacker, New York asphalt man declared. "Approximately one fifth of tbi is for asphalt roads. Unfair competition raises the price of these roads." Sure Relief FOR INDIGESTION

Winter never fails to bring this car renewed praise. It is because the starting system and carburetor seem to be almost immune from cold weather troubles. The response is prompt, even on the coldest mornings. The cord tires, with their safety tread, are also particularly desirable in winter.
