Disciples at Terre Haute, read a paper on
1.-THE Conversion of Children, How and
When Should They De Taught to Come Into
the church, Regarding this as a difficult
question, his answers were only approximate
and suggestive. If we could know when a
child becomes a sinner we could tell when it
ought to be converted. Could we know
when it is under condemnation we should
know when it should obey the sln-offering
for life.
Miss Bette Ware, of Indianapolis, read an
essay entitled: "a Plea for the Children"
She believes "the scheme of salvation is pro-
cess of home training" and that the home
training should begin generations before the
child is born. Nothing can take the place of

Prof. f. r. Smith, of Purdue University,

teacher and that of the religious teacher
showing that the principles, the means, the
methods and the ends of education are all

wonderful truths of the Book of Books, and
consequently. even from a secular point of
view, there can be no greater source of power

word of God and its teachings. Also show.

AT o'clock in the afternoon the pastor of
the Third indianapolis Christian Church,
Elder S. B. Moore, delivered an address in

viz, THE relation of the Sunday School to
the Church. Especially do the young need
to be well grounded in the teachings of heav-

ROCKVILLE Aug. All preparations for

is now in readiness for the event. The con-
demned man has spent the day in conversing
with visitors. of whom he has had several,
and appears cool and collected although he
is slightly nervous. He expressed willing
ness to talk about the murder, and to a Jour
nal correspondent again told the story of
che crime without apparent feeling. When
asked how he felt concerning his situation
he replied, LAS well as could be expected
under the circumstances, and to his at
torney, Mr.. Courtney, remarked that when
the fatal moment came he would show them
how man should die. He ate a hearty sup
per. When your correspondent left

to-day which is not to be published until
after his death, which is substantially in ac-

trial.
A peculiar circumstance, having more or
less connection with Stouts case, occurred
to-day at his former home at Darlington.
