answers were: For agitation and education; not as an end in itself, not that we may have a big time, not to tell what we have done, but for the outlook; that we may learn how better to help the people, how to possess the land unoccupied, winch is yet '"very much." Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Kindig. of Kendallville, are attending the convention and helped much with helpful suggestions. Mr. Kindig is the Sunday -school secretary of Noble county and is a

The convention adopted a new con-j st it ut ion - simple, flexible and suited to
the situation.
Uev. W. W. Uaymond presented a
most complete scholarly address, fii'!
of helpful hints to all workers in the Sunday-school. His theme was:" Jesus,
the Suntlav-School Teacher's Model.'
Mrs. W. P.. Outcalt interested all in a

as her study.

entire congregation with a willingness
and proved that it was helpful, and prepared those present for the treat in store.
Uev. Smithreada chapter of scripture, and prayed which was followed by a musical number by the (Jueen City quartette. The bible lesson and address of C. D. Meigs, was of unusual interest, and was an effort truly appreciated by his heir-
ers. The forcible truths presented regarding the work needed in our state in the Sunday school work, should be taken to heart in the pungent manner in which it was given and active work done by those who are interested in this great work. The last number on the program, object teaching, 'My Cup," by Miss Mabel Hall, cannot be commented on in a man er belit ing the subject as handled by this Christian woman. The little cup used to represent the blessings received and emptied into her own cup, was an eloquent, silent lesson, that touched the hearts ot every listner. It forcibly
struck the writer, and wo can but reecho the sentiment that found a voice
n every heart. It was grand. With
the churches of our laud composed of such Christians as Miss Mabel Hall, the
conversion of the world would soon be
accomplished.

time was all to short for the many who

Uev. Mr. J arber led a devotional service at nine, followed by an address by
Uev. .1. T. Charlton, subject, "The

great theme and was listened to with
fixed interest. At ten o'clock Miss Mabel Hull took charge of the conference on primary work, and considerable food for rellecting was brought out. The reports of township superinten

reeled Tuesday. Itrings luu Other lulu Hie luu lies of Hit- l.:in. The excitement over Kose. Tuesday for stealing a horse ami buggy at south Uend had fairly subsided, when a telegram from that city to Marshall Meyers, telling him to lookout for two other fellows implicated in the same expedition, was received. Ina short time he was on the right scent and arrested two men by the name of Crown and Ilelcer. The former, llrown, worked here last summer on the sewerage, and of course was easily identified. The rig they were driving belonged to a linn at South Uend, Ireland A: Sou.
At noon the sheriil ot that county, a Mr. Fversole, in company with John U. shank, came to Plymouth and removed the prisoners to South liend. Another message was also received from Frank T. Major, of South liend, asking Marshall Meyer to look out for stolen sheep pelts. This telegram thus clears up the mystery surrounding the ownership of the pelts sold here. The cherk that was given to Kose for the hides has not been recovered. Hose no doubt gave it to one of his accomplices and as it in all probability has not been cashed, will be found when the two men now in custody are searched.

The big ferries and steel towing tugs are now being built at Toledo and will be placed in commission by April 1st. The railroad company expects to use these big ferries for a tloating terminus at Chicago, South Chicago and Michigan City, according to present calculations. Cars will be taken from any railroad and carried to any other road for delivery. These big ferries will carry thirty to forty cars and may revolutionize the carrying business on this end of the lake if the scheme proves practicable. Michigan City Dispatch
