GIVES tGGOONT OF HIS PASTORATE

Rev. Henry L. Davis of First M. E. Church Tells What Has Been Accomplished in the Past Six Years. Th morning FrvJof-s at tho First M". I", church Sunday wfrc of the nature of a cf l -bration of tho Fixth year of tho iaFtorat of Itov. II. 1 Davis. Mr. Davis preached a special rcrmon on the occasion, an abstract f which folio ;s: "I cloo today my fixth yar as pastor of tho First Mothodist church. I'orhapa jio like period of years in the churchs hIMury has seen greater changes In the church's life. "We have parsed from an old erjuipinent into a new. From an old church tuildinpr without conveniences into a building which is a model of church equipment. There has not been a feature m'lcted, from rooms adapted to the imparting of spiritual truth to tho children and s cial convenioncs for the yuunz to one of the most magnificent auditoriums of the Mate "I have received into tho church nearly 7C0 people during my pastorate and havo jirearhod no less than 000 sfrmons. During this pastorate the IUlly Sunday campaign wrus held, which will not bo surpassed In another half century. "The pa.ct year has been one of the best in the six. Wo witnessed the raising of $."0,000 In a single day, a feat which has not been excelled in tho entire state, our laymen having done the work in marvelous order and precision. These stupendous sums have not interfered In any way with the benevolent pivinjj of our people. Cliiirch N "Unsung". "When tho average lodo has performed some act of charity in distributing baskets to the poor or Christmas drifts to the needy, a willing press Kives it lare space and glaring- headlines while the sunshine scattered by the church of Jesu3 Christ falls unheralded and unsunff. We do not offer this as a criticism, we state It as a fact. "Tho church which I serve today lias taken its scores of baskets to the poor, carried Its flowers to the sick and messages of comfort to the bereaved. This it has done in South I.end. nut more, it h;ts carried supplies to the poor upon our frontiers; Its help to the needy of our cities and tarried tho cospel into China, Japan and India. "The benevolence.', of this church In its Individual members are marvelous when stated in litres. One individual has Kiven within the past year $10,000 to the two local hospitals, $5,000 to the Orphans' homo and $30,000 to the Y. W. C. A. "Included in our benevolences are the education, missions, church extension, American Uiblo society, etc. Including the above sifts this church, as a church or through its membership, dropped last year into tho lap of the world's need over $50,000 for benevolent purposes. Added to this Its expenditures for its own buildings and the operation of its own plant, which it pledged, it paid altogether $10.",, 000. We doubt if this has been surpassed "by any one church In Indiana. All Departments lrcw.pcrmis. "Lvery department 'f our church has prospered. Its Sunday school, women's organizations and membership all have grown in numbers and eilklency." Mr. Davis also spoke of the work that tho church should do in the future. "Should the bishop at our coming conference return mo to South Hend I shall bo pleased," he :-aId. "If not, my farewell word Is that T never expect to serve a better, a. more generous and more use'ul church than the one to which I have given such poor service in the last six years." At night the pastor spoko upon "The Dife of Moses and Its Message to tho Youn Man of Today." SOUL CONSTANTLY IN NEED OF NOURISHMENT Man to TJvo a Correct L.ifo Must Mako I'so of Means CI oil Has (ihcu Vs, Sajs l'astor. Rev. J. S. liurns. pastor of Trinity Presbyterian church in his Sunday veiling sermon speaking on "Christian Wells," said in part: "The soul is constantly in need of nourishment. Sometime- our lives this need is felt more keenly than at ether times and we like Abraham of old, dig wells to supply this need. Some of the Weils of the soul are Christian experience, gospel, truth, rraver and service, perhaps one day In tho past we. used to enjoy refreshing draughts from these wells of the soul, but sin has crept in and like the Philistines has filled up these wells with the rubbish of neglect, carelessness, worldlir.ess ami other dirt so that corning along th desert way of lifo we seek to refresh our souls from theso wells of former years and find them choked up. "I, ike Abraham, let t:s dlix again these Christian w lis let us open tip theso refreshing places let us get the worldliness out of our lives that we mav le refreshed by the wonderful experiences through which God has ailed us t- pass, by attendance at public worship, and by other Christian service. "If v, e never knew the joy of these nells then I urce you to dig these i " w w-:is. 'Tasto and see that the Fori! is good.' These wells are essential to the foul's life.' DIES WHILE ON VISIT Mrs. J.

HEAVEN OF REST IS NOT IDEAL DREAM Present JATc Wmilil Hp Paradise IJut Tor Our Moral Deficiencies Says Jtabbi.

Sunday morning at Tempb- Pethr.l. Itabbi Cronbach spoke on "The Jewih Idea of a Future Life." He said : "The Bibb nowhere affirms what we call immortality of the soul. The Bible nowhere says that we will go to heaven when we die, or to the other place, k the case may be. "The Bible does say that the dead bodies will arise from the graves and live sometime in the future. In later days, the Jews said that this time would be when the Jewish Messiah would descend from the skies and lead Israel back to political power. "One of. the first things, that reform Judaism did was to strike out definitely and forever the doctrine of bodily resurrection. The Talmud and other Jewish writings contain expressions of loftier views, loftier not only in the sense of doing less violence to our reason, but loftier In the further and more important sense of giving more scope to our ethical yearnings. "The ancient Rabbis perceived that a paradise without work would bo a fool's paradise. Personally, I would not care for a hereafter in which I could no nothing but lounere. The traditional heaven with Its endless indulgences and interminablo summer vaction would be more llko hell perhaps than the traditional place of lire and brimstone, where there are at least a few bracing things to grapple with. "Were you to ask me what Heaven Is, I should say, I do not know.' I believe that the grave is not the end, but what is behind tho grave, I do not know. "The life that now is would be lovlier than any heaven that tradition has Imagined were it not for our moral deficiencies. Give us another chance. Iet us have life over again minus Its sins and frailties' AT TIIK OKPIIKUM. The opening performance of the Elks' jubilee week at the. Orpheum started well Sunday. The principal feature of local interest was the showing for the first time to tho general public of the Him taken last July by members of the local order of Elks and showing the practical workings of tho Big Brother movement. An interesting and well connected story is told of the rescue of two street urchins. Tho parade and picnic scenes are particularly good and many well-known business men will bo easily recognized. Tho Six Kirksmith sisters in their handsomely staged musical act heads tho vaudeville portion of tho bill The girls are charming in appearance. They sing and play a variety of musical instruments most pleasingly. The act Is full of spirit, the selections well chosen and tho rendition of the different numbers beyond criticism. A well written, humorous sketch with a nico blending of romance and business is presented by Harry Ilolman and company. It is intitled "The Merchant Prince" and is filled with bright lines which are put over nicely by Mr. Holman and his two associate players. Ash and Shaw open their act with talkative character impersonations and close with ballads and parodies. Henry Sylvester and Maida Vanco do a talking and singing act in which the assumed egotism of the former is amusing and tho attractive appearance of the latter is a feature. A wedding song was nicely put over. Selbini and Grovini offer eccentric comedy and bicycle riding. A Keystone comedy picture completes the bill. THE AUDITORIUM. "The Million Dollar Mystery," in two reels 13 the feature at the Auditorium today as usual with "When the West was Young" a ' Selig western tragedy drama, featuring Bessie Eyton and Wheeler Oakman.
