SMUSES REVIVAL I MAKINGPROGRESS The union revival meetings under the direction of jfvangelist Shaw and wife, continue to grow in interest, and the outlook is very encouraging. Through the practical and searching preaching of Brother Shaw and wife, conviction is se.ttl.eing on the unsaved. There have been several conversions to date and the various churches are being greatly revived. The services were held at the M. E. church last week and were very encouraging, the house being filled i to its capacity. The services this week will be held in the Church'of God. Friday was a day that will be remembered because of the presence of the Lord. The services began at 10 o’clock and continued until 3:30 in the afternoon. The time was spent in fasting, preaching and prayer. Notice some of the sayings: “There are some devils that are cast out only through fasting and prayer.”—Rev. Robt. Ayres* U. B. church. , ! “Long suffering, one of the graces of the Spirit, is always the result of the love of God in the heart.”—Rev. C. A. Wright, Evangelical church. “A man that is in divine order will always make his decisions after much meditation and prayer.”— Rev. A. L. Weaver, M. E. churcll). “This city reminds me of a shipyard; there is plenty of material but the Lord needs skilled’workmen to gather it together and build the a|iip.” “Who then will consecrate his service this day unto the Lxd—Rev. M. W. Johnson, Church of God. “We must examine ourselves to see whether our motives are pure, but *ve can’t even examine our own hearts only as the Holy Spirit helps us.”—Mrs. S. B. Shaw. “We can only prevail with God for souls when we love them so much that we are willing to take their sins upon ourselves. Daniel’s love helped him to prevail.”-j-Mrs. S. B. Shaw. We are looking for great things as a result of this meeting in Syracuse. We ask the prayers iof all who read this article, who know the worth of prayer.—M. W. Johnson, Pastor of the Church of God. \ : Thanksgiving Service. The annual Thanksgiving service was held at the United Brethren church this a. m. at 11 o’clock. The sermon was preached by Rev. M. W. Johnson, pastor of the Church of God. Music was furnished by members of the various churches in town. The service was well attended.

MECHANICAL POWER ; FOR THE FARMER Few persons realize that they ■ are witnessing a most profound revolution in rural life and methods. The human race utilizes power for three great needs; namely, tilling the soil, changing the shape . of materials and carrying them from place to place. James Watt. , 140 years ago, discovered steam. , Stephenson harnessed steam and made it carry materials over the first of a globe-circling network of railroads. A century ago Fulton j adapted it to water transportation and bound the nations together with threads of a steam-driven water commerce. The steam engine made possible the modern factory, which has lifted our civilization from the age of homespun, made our cities and taxed to the utmost the producing power of our farmers. Like the boiling teakettle with James Watt, the plain kerosene lamp revealed to John A. Secor the secret of turning the cheapest, safest, most abundant liquid fuel known into power for the farm. His invention, the Oil Pull tractor, means to agriculture what the steam engine meant to commerce. It represents the coming of mechanical power to replace the animal muscle in the last great task, that of tilling the soil. Low grade kerosene oil, an otherwise unsalable by-product, is converted into “pull” for plows,, for harrows, drills and harvesters; into, “turn” for the thresher and dynamo. The great value 6f Mr. Secor’s discoveryTo the public is felt by a group of manufacturers who carry "an insurance policy of on his life. The U. S. Land and Irrigation Exposition, held at the Coliseum Chicago, 111., November 19 to December 4, will illustrate this epochmaking phase of the farm shift by placing an Oil Pull tractor, complete; in every way, among the exhibits at the Coliseum.

EVANGELIST SHAW RECOMMENDS PRATER ■ — —* But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when* thou ! hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.—Matt. 6:6 A secret is something known only to a few, something that is kept from the multitudes. Most people have secrets, unholy secrets or secret faults. But how few, Oh how few understand the secret of true graying. None can pray effectually in secret until he or She has discovered the secret of the Lord. God is a stranger to most people. His presence and power have never been revealed, but to a chosen few. God hides himself from fallen humanity and from all false worshipers. He lives in secret. He comes out of his holy place only at the call of the true seekers that are hungering and thirsting after righteousness. He is far from the wicked. Their prayers are an abomination to the Lord. The psalmist said 'lf I regard iniquity in my heart the Lord will not hear me.” If we find God in private or in public, we must be transparently honest. We must walk in every ray of light. Everything doubtful in our lives must be repented of and forl saken. We must cry to God as did the Psalmist; “Cleanse thou me from secret fault.” Psa. 19:12. Every unholy alliance must be given up. Every secret that conflicts with the commandment of the Lord must be confessed. “The secret of the ' Lord is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. The secret of the Lord is learned through secret prayer. These two are insperable. We cannot retain the one without the other.) We cannot live a spiritual life without constant communion with God. 1 It was secret praybr that made Abraham a friend of God and such a power in the world. (See Gen. 15:6 Isa. 41:8 and Jas: 2:28) It was secret prayer that made Jacob a prince in Israel. Is was his wonderful night of prayer alone with God that gave him the power to prevail with God and man (See Gen. 32:29) It was through communion with God that Elijah learned the secret of the Lord concerning the withholding of rain, until Israel could be humbled. It was through secret prayer that Elisha was given power to heal the leper and raise the dead. (See 2 Kings, 4:82-35 and 5:8-14. It was David’s, secret devotion that made him a man after God’s own heart. . It was in answer to prayer that Daniel was given visions of the future that was known only to God. (See Daniel 2:19 and 10:8). It was Paul’s pleading and wrestling with God that made him a burning light. It was when Peter went upon the house top to pray that he had his wonderful vision of I heaven (See Acts 209.) His whole ! life was made a power in the church ' as a result of his unbrokerf com- j munion with God. It was John' Knox’s midnight cries, “Give me' Scotjand or I die,” that gave him 1 such power and made him the great! est reformer of his day. Edward I Payson was known as the man who prayed without ceasing. He spent much of his time in secret prayer. This was the great secret of his marvelous success in work for God. Much of his time we are told he

spent alone with God prostrated on face with his open Bible before him. Many good Christians do not spend sufficient time in secret prayer, to fully realize their own needs or the needs of the word of God. They do not find time to “pray through,” for themselves or for others. They do not wait on God until the burden comes on their hearts for the desolation of Zion. They do not fully give themselves to the spirit of prayer and supplication and the Kingdom of Heaven gains but little by their lives. But ff we are in divine order we wili often be made conscious that the Holy Spirits calling us to come aside for secret conference with the Master and as we yield these draw-. ings of the spirit, our Lord will j speak to us as we to our dearest i friends on matters that be nearest' our heart. Then he will make us more and more partake of his own nature and say to us as he said to his disciples. “Henceforth I call you not servants, for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth; but I have called you friends, for all thins that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” If every Christian in Syracuse will plead with God in secret to pour out his holy spirit in convicting and saving power, if every Christian heart will cry out from its very depths, Lord send a revival and let it begin in me, it will not be long until God answers prayer, and the mighty workings of the Holy Spirit be manifested in every Christian church in the city. “O Lord stir up the people to prayer and revive thy work.” Narrowly Escaped Death, + Mr. B ? SaHi.; wives, while on theirjiway home from church Sunday night at about 9:45 o’clock found a man lying near the bridge, crossing the Channel, on Huntington street. After a little investigating they discovered the , man to be intoxicated and in a helpless condition. The good Samaritan spirit took possession of them and they, one on either side of the degenerate, assisted him to the city sleeping room. He was so drunk that they could not get him to bed so they left him lying on the floor with no covering and when Mr. Unrue went to look after him Monday morning, he found the fellow nearly frozen to death and in an unconscious c®idition. Medical aid was given hiii and along in the afternoon on lionday, consciousness was regained. It was learned on Monday that the Lan was a resident of Goshen ana his name was John Hannan. He had been working at Fort Waynelwhen, a few days ago he had the fingers broken on one hand and on his way home decided to stop off here Sunday evening to see Ort Forter, he having arrived here on a freight train it is supposed, at about six o’clock. It is reported that Carl Stettler and some one else haff been to Mishawaka on Sunday and brought two gallons of whiskey back with them- | and while they were away from their buggy some of the fellows J whose whistles were so dry that 1 they could not resist the temptation ' helped themselves and it is thought I Hannan drank about orfe quart- ' After the crowd saw that the fellow I was intoxicated they turned him ' away by himself td seek shelter or ito die. Now the Question is, who would have beery responsible for the loss of this lean’s life had he died in this condition? And the poor fellow’s life was saved only by a very small margin. ■ f 1 -

WOMEN THE BHLKOHOIIISTS We have often wondered why so much space in a magazine and news papers was devoted to eulogistic accents of “captains of industry,” when in every community there are scores of women whose ability to make both ends meet upon the family income makes the financiering of Morgan look ameteurish. , There are some notable exceptions, and we will even grant many exceptions to the general rule, but it is safe to assert that seventy-five ' pePcent. of the men who succeed in • the world do so because of some ; woman who not only inspires them, 1 in keeping with the poetic fitness of 1 things, but who manages for them, saves for them, and by that wonderful intuitive economy of womankind makes the salary provide everything and leave a margin. It is a common expression in these days of prosperity under the Aldrich regime and the Payne tariff that “it is a mystery how the average workingman manages to live upon his pay.” He doesn’t. The workingman’s wife is the one who is solving that problem, and today it is a serious problem. Man works to make the money; woman works to save it, to distribute it judiciously, to make it purchase the necessities, the luxuries and leave the amount apportioned to the savings bank account. The savings banks of the nation would go out of existence were it not for the women; real estate men would be paupers, cities would not grow, hoines not be bought and paid Tor and business would languish. We all take our flings at woman and her bargain mania, her extravagance of dress and her penchant for buying things she does not need because they are cheap, but when we speak soberly we must confess that man is the spendthrift and woman the husbandman when it comes to money.—Detroit News. Studies in Geography. Because in the opinion of many school men of Indiana geography is taught with less success in the common schools than any other of the common school subjects, the state reading circle board, which is composed of school men, has selected for study by teuchers, during the 1911-12 school year, a book on the science of teaching this subject, says an exchange. The book chosen is Sutherland’s “Studies in Geography.” It is to be used by the teach ers in their township institute work, and as a basis for examination questions during the 1912 examination year. The board also selected Hoyt’s “Studies in Modern Education,” for pedagogic study. Sugar Economy. . I wonder if many housekeepers know that boiling sugar with an acid changes the sugar to glucose. One pound of sugar has as much sweetening power as two and onehalf pounds of glucose, consequently one pound of sugar stirred into fruit after it is cooked and while still warm will make the fruit as sweet as two and a quarter pounds when the fruit is boiling. If this fact was more widely known, the economy in , the sugar bill in some households i would be surprising. Mrs. Ira E. Deer. ' Franklin, Ind., R. R. No. 2.

!ESTRANGED BY MISTAKE j OF A MESSENGER BOY An engagement came very near being broken off over on East Center street Wednesday evening when a young man because of the mistake of a messenger boy, sent his 1 intended a box containing pajamas, ' in substitution for a box of flowers. When the package was delivered : the young woman in question was preparing to go io a dance where she was to have met the young man. They met half an hour later under rather embarrassing circum--1 stances. The young woman absolutely refused to speak or dance 1 with him and spent all of her time with, another acquaintance. The dejected young lover went home and while thinking the matter over reached for his overcoat loosely flung over a chair, picked it up and extracted a cigar from one of the pockets. In the chair where the coat had concealed it he discovered 1 the box of flowers and at once realized the mistake that had been made and the reason for the strange actions of his fiance. He hastily donned his overcoat and was about to depart for her home, when he thought to look at his watch and discovered that it was too late. Early the following morning, armed with the box of flowers and a five pound box of chocolates, he put in an appearance at the “girl’s home and their troubles were patched up. The story was interestingly told in a film at the Royal theatre Wednesdoy evening. Miss Miller presided at the piano and Miss Madaline Ruse sang the illustrated song.— Warsaw Uni>■Killed Big Red Fox. Fred Hinderer, while out quail hunting on his farm, east of town, Friday, chased a big red fox out of a cluster of high weeds. Fred was afraid to shoot for fear his eyes were deceiving him, and he would have to accout for having killed a neighbors’ dog. The fox ran among a herd of cattle that was in the field and stopped by a pile of baled straw. Charles Nicolai who had taken his gun along to the cornfield in quest of game in the morning saw the fox and killed him. This is lhe first fox killed seen in this section of the country for many years. Kabo Corsets sold by A. W. Strieby.

STORE ROBBED AT NORTH WEBSTER I I Burglars entered the general store of John C. Boyer of North Webster late Saturday night and laid in a i winters supply of canned goods. The theft was discovered Sunday . moning at about five o’clock. E. 0. Peters of Warsaw who Iftid been aps pointed receiver of the stock last s week was promptly notofied by tel - ; phone. The first report was that ■ the store had been entered by cerI tain creditors of the concern who • had carried off practically the entire stock, and Mr. Peters was given to understand that a creditor had i gotten away with a large portion of the stock. He immediately get into communication with Attorney Jas. R. Frazer; who started the proceedings in the circuit court in behalf of Samuel Chaska, a Ft Wa'yne wholesaler. Mr. Frazer, in turn, procured an automobile|and hurried Sheriff Ed. Haas, Deputy Sheriff George Minear and Chief of Police Charles B. Moon of Warsaw to the scene of the robbery. Mr. Peters, accompanied by Henry Kline and Fred Kline, occupying a’second machine, also went to North Webster to investigate. A survey of the stock brougt out the fact that the building apparently had been entered by a lone burglar not intersted in the receivership and who had gotten away with goods of minor value. There is no clue as to the identity of the guilty party. Kuhe-Lamb. Monday afternoon one week ago at the huine of Mruana Mrs. David Lamb of Nappanee, occurred the wedding of their daughter, Miss Edith, to Mr. Joseph Ruhe of that city. The wedding ceremony was performed by Rev. S. L. Cates pastor of the Methodist church in the presence of only the immediate members of the two families. The bride is quite well and favorably known tn many people living here. 1 Costly Equipment.
