Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 107, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 September 1909 — Brother Moorman Likes the Old-Fashioned Kind of Religion. [ARTICLE]

Brother Moorman Likes the Old-Fashioned Kind of Religion.

Judging from the following criticism of “Billy” Sunday in the Knox Republican, Brother Moorman is in favor of the old-fashioned religion, where charity played a greater part than bunco. Here is J. L. M.’s com- » ment: “South Bend ministers have ‘elected’ Billy Sunday to come among them and preach. The amusement parks have doubtless closed for the season and the play houses are tardy in getting started. They had to have some sort of amusement in the big city on the St. Joe so they got Sunday to come and do his spectacular, religioprofanation stunt. They will find him naughty but nice, irreverent but religious. That’s Sunday, and he was a good ball player.” Charles F. Treat, United States treasurer, has called attention to the fact that the portraits of three Indiana men adorn the walls of the treasurer's office, all of them having served in the office of treasurer. The portraits are of John C. New, James N. Huston and E. H. Nebeker. A number of Indiana men are striving to add a fourth portrait to the group by aspiring to fill the_ vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Treat. N. B. Hawkins, a banker of Portland, who was the republican nominee for congress from the Eighth district last year, is the most conspicuous name mentioned. Marion has a mild apidemic of smallpox. There are five cases in the town up to the present time. 4
