Large Concourse of People Attend Ceremonies and View Beautiful Structure --Parade of Automobiles and Visiting Knights of Columbus.

Tl: e n?w St. Michael's Catholic hurch was dedicated Sunday morning at ten tl.irthy o'clock amid the solemn rites of the church, and in presence of a congregation which packed the church in every available foot of space. The crowd . which had gathered for the memorable occasion was far too large to set into the building and more v?rj outside than inside. Frcn Soith Bend and Mishawaka "280 Knights of Columbus came.and were joined at Walkerton by 'fifty more people, including the Walkerton band. At the service of dedication Rev. L. A. Moench, paster of the St. Joseph church, Mishawaka, formerly pastor of the Plymoutheongregation. aited as celebrant. Rev. John Cavanaugh, C. S. C. president . of Notre Dame, was assistant priest, and delivered the sermon. Rev. George Schramm of Laporte was beacon, and ' Rev. Matthew Schumacher, C. S. C, of. Notre Dame, äub-deaeon. Rev, Simon S. Yenn, chancellor of the' Port Wayne diocee.also former pastor, at- Plymouth presided "aa master of eereinonies. The deacons of honor were Rev. Thomas E. Burke, , C. S. C, assistant editor of the Ave Maria of Notre Dame, and Rev. Charles L. .Donnell, professor of English at Notre Dame. Those in the sanctuary were Rev. Robert Pratt of Kokomo, Rev. Joseph Abel of -Walkerton, R$v. Edmund Lev of Kewanna, Rev. John Kohl of Columbia City, and the pastor. Rev. John Trtmmcl. Rev. Ca vanaugh 's Address. A defence of religion and condemnation of modernism, as exemplified in the doctrine of free thinking, was made by Rev. John Cavar.augh. C. S. C, president of Notre Dam? university, in his sermon. "No man has the right to say he can form his own philosophy of life, or religion, or the hereafter,' said the priest, nor has any human ever possessed the wisdom to formulate an opinion concerning questions the explanation of which has been set up by an institution through the exper'i ence of ages." "The greatest fallacy present in the world today, is the commonly expressed opinion that color .or creed, or belief in religion is unnecessary so Ions as good clean natures are produced. A farmer might as well say, I care, not for rain or sunshine, but jrive me good crops. How can the one be had without the other! How a clean life and good character without religious training?" "The doctrine of would-be free!

thinkers today is that each man has Father Cavanaush congratulatthe right to evolve his own form of ed. Bishop Alerding for. the addition re.lisions belief, and will . become a .of a new edifice of worship in his bigser and broader individual byre- diccese; the pastor. Father John

fusing to accept dogmas of creeds taught bv institutions throusrh the ages, but instead should be prompted by his own intelligence." "The historv of relisrion through

the course of time has been that , Cathrlie people of Plymouth- for skepticism entered into the myster- their imposing place of worship, and ies of faith. Christ established his , finally the city of Plymouth for the church on definitely founded truth, handsome structure which had been which to the human mind arc myster! added to its buildings, ies.

As the world turned asaint him toen, the world turns acainst him today. Unable to grasp divine mysteries, the world without faith is, incredulous." TTorkins Out Life's Problem. Continuing his argument for an established form of religion Father Cuvisaugh Faid, "A consideration Trill show immmerabla reisons -why - r9 r v tl - c

be true, as regards religious be-

lief. Take the millions who earn their bread by the sweat of the brow it would be mockery to say to these 'work out your own problems of life and death.' When could they do so, how, or by means of what intelligence? Men who are found in the professions and higher walks ox life.nsually have their minds filled with their care of employment. The judgment of such men would hardly be accepted on a subject outside of their profession. It is a fact that if the lives of these men are pure they will accept dogmas presented to them by the church, and if not, would you ask such to formulate a religious and moral code?" "Why should an intelligent man be permitted to form a religious creed, any more than construct each his own system of mathematics, science or other established forms of education. The lifetime of an individual is too insignificantly short to perfect a system of any, form-of education, and to give him freedom in matters of religion seems contradictory. Supposing . in . the'study of he problem by the individual' his judgment would not be influenced by selfishness, passion, or interests, how many could be found to devote their entire life, to the problem. ..Then let us take men who have" spent a life time in pondering' over the pues tions of religious mysteries. -Here is one who at the close of his days finally arrives at the opinion that he believes the creeds are true. Another has spent his life, and is uncertain, while a third believes he has reason to doubt the entire system. What is gained by these individuals, or the world?. Their lives have been spent and they are no wiser. Thev are onlv human and can not comprehend divinity. For the Young Man's Guidance. A third reason is the necessity of an established code .of religion for the young man. It is known that in the period of adolescence the mind is in a condition of more or less turmoil, when passion strives against inst'net, and conscience against both Then the choice between good and bad will influence the entire after life of the man. It will, be determined whether he will walk with his head to the heavens, or with- his face sunken in shame toward the earth. Would you ask the young man in such condition to work out problems of ethics, and metaphysics? Every man is young once, and what disaster would result to the entire race." Tremmel, whose years of effort had been finally rewarded by the completion of the church; the architect who planned, and workmen who constructed the beautiful building; the its career, and showed how uncompromising it has always .stood, on questions of creed, at times when the world seemed opposed.

A model packing house, such as every Hoosier orchardist should haye if he would make a commercial success of jhis. business, will be set up at the Indiana Apple Show and will be in daily operation the week of Nov. 6, when the show, is in progress at Indianapolis, It is the purpose of the show promoters not only to treat the public to rich displays of home grown apples, but also to give , the growers as much practical knowledge" of cultural and marketing methods &s possible. While the coming show wil be the first of its kind held in the. state, it is intended to be he forerunner of others in future years, and the information which the growers obtain at the first one is not only to be an incentive to produce better fruit, but to obtain better financial returns than they have in the past. The promoters of the exposition say that there are many apple growers in this state who ' have many things yet to learn, and the quickest and most effective way to spread the information is to give practical demonstrations at the show. To this end, after a careful search for the right man, George M. List, of Fruits Colorado, has been engaged to spend the work at the Indianapolis show and gi.'e talks and demonstrations daily. on western jnethods of handling apples for the market. He is superintendent of Rosedale. ranch, one of the largest and best cultivated fruit ranches in the Colorado Ii uii '-rn. iic lias hiu siaii.vut experience through many years, and is regarded' as high authority on picking apples and marketing them. Mr. List formerly lived in Indiana and knows of orchard conditions in this state as well as in Colorado, and he will combine his knowledge and talent in teaching the Hoosier grower how best to get his apples before the public. His demonstrations at the show will be in grading and boxing apples. . He will have a large supply of the appliances which will make up his packing house. The expert will pack a number of boxes every day, illustrating tlje different styles of packing, and as he does the work he will discuss the (fine points which the grower should , be familiar with. The public, too, is expected to take much interest in his work. The promoters of th? show sav that if the growers will . take advantage of the educational j opportunities which will be offered, the information will be of immeasur able value to them in developing their orchards and gathering In the -financial rewards which will come in .later years.

Marks went to Culver Sunday morning, and from there went with his brother several miles into the country to the old Santa Anne school house. It was at this place that he went to school some thirty odd years ago. It. so happened that several of the old school mates of those good old days were visiting in the county, and it was ar ranged) that a reunion be held. We can imagine the relating of-old time incidents, the little scenes that cause a smile now but were then so full of the real. It is well to have these little gatherings, so full of pleasure as the friendships of youth are renewed. They help us to take up the struggle of life with a new zeal life means more to us as we see what others have done, and we are built up and strengthened by thus meeting those whose lives have largely gone from us. The only other one in Plymouth of those days when Mr. Marks was a school boy at old Santa Anne, is John Jones and he was under promise to De there. ELECTED PRESIDENT v OP CONFERENCE. F. M.

Oct. a. The final accounts mad tti tin Commercial Club last nighfc showed that the Home Comimr and Fall Festival cost the club in round! numbers $5."0 more than they took in. The club is financially good and all the bills will be paid, but the citizens of Plvmouth will be given aa opportunity to help make up the deficit. More bills came in than wem known of at the special session, when, it was thought the shortage would ba only about $300, and this hoisted the deficit up to the point given. This fact came about solely because of the death of the aviator who hal been engaged to make the flights here. The committee on concession had agreed to pay tLe sum of $1000 for the flights. The man who haöT been engaged to come- was killed thfr dav before he was to flv in Plv mouth, and this made it necessary to get some one else. The necessity compelled the payment of $1500 instead of $1000. hence the shortage comes from this fact alone. Other than this the Home Coming was- afinancial success as- well as a successas an entertainment. The club is extreuelv grateful to all those who helped so splendidly in. the promotion and 'carrying throagf oil the Home Coming, and. the secretary of the club-was last night instructed to prepare an official expression of the club for publication ixt this regard. 1 Preparing Plat. The committee on manufactures, which, has had in charge the sale of the lots in the Plymouth Improvement Co. 's- addition on the south, side, . were appointed to continue their good work by preparing a platr of the new addition into 40 foot lots W. R. Sehoönover was selected by the club as the surveyor o do the work. This plat will be completed! in time to present to the city council at their next meeeting, in order thati it may be accepted and become & part of the city legally before thadrawing of lots comes up. It was thought advisable to leave as factory sites the three lots immediately south of the Pennsylvania railway on the west side of Libertv street and the two lots on the easft" side of that street. Also the unplat ed tract just across the street front the Abrasive Mining & Mfg. Co plant. All these are very- good place for small factories of a clean and. quiet nature and the club believes irr holding them for that purpose. . The course of Liberty street maybe changed sliirhtly from the present direction, which, is not due north antf south. The street will run further , to tb; east than flt prwet XIierfl jwag also talk of makin? a street. through the wooded tract known a'Ontlot 14, but this was not decided; on.
