INTERESTING MEETING JI THE OJ. CHURCH Sunday, January 28th, was a great day among the United Brethren throughout the union, as it was the day set apart by the general brotherhood to be given to the extension of the brotherhood work. The local brotherhood had made special preparations to- observe the day and make an effort to awaken the men of Syracuse to their responsibilities to God and their fellowman. They took charge of the morning service at eleven o’clock. The choir of men’s voices assisted by Lena Rentfrow at the organ and E. W. Hire on the cornet, rendered some very inspiring selections. Bert Niles gave a very interesting talk on Men and Religion, in which he brought out the fact that men are not interested in religion because they are lacking in love for each other and the cause of Christ. When men can be brought to see that religion not only helps our brother, but helps ourselves; brings contentment, happiness, and honorable prosperity to all parties concerned, they will become interested. Eston McClintic followed with a paper on the meaning of church membership. There are church members and Christians; they may mean the same and they may not. It is the Christian whose life is filled with the love of God that sacrifices himself and all that he is and has, upon the altar of divine love, who makes the world a place worth living in, and it is to such men and women that the church owes its existence. He made an earnest appeal to the men to lose sight of narrow selfish aims and to broaden and deepen the purpose of their lives to meet the ideal left us by the life of our Savior. Rev. Ayers gave a talk on the Men and Religion Foward Movement in which he brought out the objects of the movement, the crystalization of the appeals in the talks of Mr. Niles and Mr. McClintic into tangible form — the Otterbein Brotherhood in the U. B. church. Ten of the leading denominations and the Gideons and the Y. M. C. A. are behind the movement. Hon. J. E. Eschbach of Warsaw, state representative for Kosciusko county, addressed a crowded house in the evening on t h e Otterbein Brotherhood. Going back in memory ko Otterbein, where he spent sops yqars in training for his life v/ork, he paid tribute to the influence of the university and the town of Westerville, the spiritual home of United Brethrenism upon all who came under its power and characterized it as a fitting birthplace for a movement to better the condition of men in America. The first object of the Otterbein Brotherhood is to help men and boys in all walks of life to live at their best, and to be awake to the influence of their lives and examples upon all with whom they come in contact. He made it clear that this could only be brought about by the individual being in contact with the divine power house of God, and allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to have Its way in the life. The second object of the Brotherhood is to promote the Spirit of Brotherliness for men, after becoming awake to the power of their own influence upon the lives of their brothers, to use that influence for the good of the brothers. The third object is to magnify the church and enlist men and boys in the work of the church. The church and the Bible stand for world wide Brotherhood. Other organizations may stand for special charities or objects, but the church for all objects, social, civic and in-

dustrial that pertain to the betterment of man and the fulfilling of the purpose for which God gave his Son. The Brotherhood contributed several inspiring songs to the service and special music was furnished by the orchestra organized for the occasion by E. W. Hire and Rev. Ayers. Much credit is due E. W. Hire for the success of the program and the United Brethren have a reason to be justly proud of their Brotherhood and the work they are doing. Sale of Red Cross Stamps. Approximately 1,250,000 Red Cross Christmas Seals were sold in Indiana in 1911. Terre Haute won the grand prize, Greensburg ranked second; Kirkpatrick, third; Danville, fourth; Pierceton, fifth; Mt. Carmel, sixth, and Goodland seventh. This announcement was made Monday by Merle Sidener and Guernsey Van Riper, the Indiana sales managers. It is based upon reports from practically all of the 426 agents in all parts of the state. The prizes were awarded on the basis of the sales per inhabitant; one class for sales amounting to more than SIOO, with a $5,000 vacuum cleaner system as a prize, and the other of sales under SIOO, with five hand or electric suction cleaners as prizes. Terre Haute gets the large cleaning system for one of its public schools. The other communities, with the exception of Goodland, have been awarded the suction cleaners. Goodland will receive a handsome silk flag, donated by Capt. Wallace Foster, for one of its public schools. The cleaners were offered by the McCrum-Howell Co. of New York. Terre Haute’s per capita record was 3.37; Kirkpatrick’s, 11.10; Danville’s, 4.78; Pierceton’s. 4.52; Mt. Carmel’s, 3.26, and Goodland 2.92. The 1911 sale was almost twice that of 1910. Here is A Record. It is customary for the brewers, whenever fighting restraint of the liquor traffic, to misrepresent facts and figures from States that are under a prohibitory or county option law. During the past year 48 of the 105 Kansas counties, with a population of 430,274, did not send a single prisoner to the State penitentiary. Fifty-seven of the 105 counties had not a single pauper. Eightyseven of the 105 counties did not send a single insane patient to an institution. Kansas’ death rate is the lowest in the world 714 in 1,000 persons. The State still boasts of the lowest percentage of illiteracy. Kansas bank deposits have increased from $70,000,000 to $190,000,000. All of this has happened under ten years of prohibition. Not being compelled to use their money for taxes to support prisons, poorhouses and insane asylums, which are largely filled by victims of liquor, the people of Kansas are able to put their money in the banks or to buy automobiles, and to use their taxes in building school houses and improving health conditions. Prohibition has been a success in Kansas because that State has elected officials who enforce the law.— Omaha News. The Journal SI.OO a year.

SHALL WE EIGHT THLCHAMNEL? A meeting, in which every citizen of Syracuse and especially the business men should have been interested in, was held at the office of W. T. Colwell Thursday evening. As usual there were only a few present but those who were present were much interested and greatly ed regarding the proposition which was open for discussion. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the advisability of equipping the channel connecting the Syracuse and Wawasbe lakes, with electric lights. At this meeting costs were figured, and considering the benefits which would be derived from this investment and expenditure of money, the costs were comparatively small. Everybody here is acquainted with the conditions and circumstances which have kept the resorters at Lake Wawasee from visiting our town more frequently. Anyone who was not well acquainted with the channel more or less trouble even in daytime in following the course and when they arrived at the railroad they met with another experience going under the bridge that was not at all agreeable. Now that the railroad bridge has been raised about three feet, launches and boats of large proportions can go through with perfect ease and with comfort to the passengers. It seems that the profitable thing to do now is to light the channel at night so that anyone wishing to come to Syracuse in the evening need not feel alarmed, for fear they will lose the course and perhaps' take them hours to find their way through the channel. The poles and wires will serve as a guide during the day and we believe the -enterprise will be of much value to the business interests of the town and to every one who owns a boat or launch. We appreciate the patronage of the lake people and we are sure they will appreciate the interest we show in them. No doubt every business man in our town will be glad to help push the project along financially and bv lending their influence. Committees were appointed at the meeting last Thursday evening to go into all details concerning the putting up of this improvement and to report at a meeting which will be held in the K. of P. reception room tomorrow evening, Feb. 2, at 8 o'clock. The business men, every owner of a boat or launch are expected to be present at this meeting, in fact any one interested in the work is urged to come. While the ice is on the channel the work can be done much sooner and cheaper, and with less discomfort. Everybody come out tomorrow evening and put your shoulder to the wheel that will push this through to an early realization. Republican Caucus. The republicans of Turkey Creek township held a caucus at the office of Butt and Xanders Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, for the purpose of electing a delegate and an alternate to the Thirteenth Congressional District Convention which was held at South Bend, Wednesday, January 31, 1912.

Hillabold-Armstrong Wedding. A pretty romance, which had its beginning in Forto Rico culminated' Friday evening, January 26, in the wedding of Captian Wm. Henry Armstrong, U. S Army, of Boston, Mass., and Miss Mabel Hillabold of Syracuse, Indiana. The ceremony was performed by Dr. J. A. Milburn, pastor of Plymouth Congregation d church, Chicago. The happy couple spent several days in Chicago then started on a trip through the South. From there they will go to Washington, D. returning to Syracuse for a xi : among relatives and friends of the bride, from Syracuse they will returned byway of New York to San Juan, Porto Rico, headquarters of Capatin Armstrong’s regiment. Those present at the ceremony were, Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Heerman, of Syracuse, Miss Virginia Hillabv .d, of Chicago, sister of the bride; r and Mrs. Percival C. Brooks, of Chi - cago and Professor Herbert J. Armstrong and wife, also of Chicago. Both Mr. Brooks and Prof. At istrong were college mates of the Captian’s and were also members of the same fraternity, Phi bigma Kappa. Miss Hillabold is well known m this vicinity, having been a teacher in the Syracuse school, Fowler, Ind. and Cayey, Porto Rico, where she was successful as a teacher of E giish and would have returned, tor
