Church Dedication Mt Liberty.

Correspondence of the indianapolis journal
LIBERTY. Dec. 81 The dedication ceremonies
II the new M. E. house of worship, on Sunday.
brought out fully one thousand people. filling
the new church to its full capacity. The dedi-
catory sermon was preached by Rev. C. Fl.
Payne. D. D., president OF the Ohio Wesleyan
University, at Delaware o., from the text:
But will God in very deed dwell with man on
earth" Revs. j. G Chaffee. F. S. Potts and g.
A. Macintosh participated in the dedcatory serv-
ices. DR. Payne's discourse put the audience in
IN n good frame Of mind to raise the s., 60 in
debtedness. which, by his wise management,
aided by the pastor (Rev. G. c. Edwards) and
the liberal members of his congregation, was
soon secured, SO. $50 being being pledged The
Ladies Society of the church had already paid
into the building fund 5000. but pledged $500
more and SO the good work went on until the
debt was more than provided for. The church
cost 600, and DR. Payne says it IS the best
house for the money he ever dedicated. The
plan is Gothic. and the church is beautiful
structure. containing auditorium, lectureroom,
class-rooms. kitchen, and supplied with furnace,
heating and ventilating arrangements and gas
lighting fixtures. Much of the credit in com
pletinS the new clSurch is due TO the able and en-
ergeiic efforts of pastor, Rev. c. c. Edwards,
who, upon coming 10 Liberty. last winter in
augurated a revival in his church. which spread
20 the sister churches and resulted in many
converts. The NJ E. Saboath-school contributed
s400 to the building fund, $3.50 of which has al
ready been paid.
Enforcing the Liquor Law at Logansport.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LoGANsPoRT, Dec. PA pitiable spectacle
was witnessed in the courtroom in this city yes
serday afternoon. Mary Rose the twelve-year-
Id daughter of saloon-keeper of this city, was
zrraigned on four indictments for violating the
liquor law. She pleaded guilty and was fined
500 and costs in each case. This is probably the
only case of the kind that has ever been rem
dered in this county.
The recent grand jury gave the saloon men Of
the city such turning over as they never
ceived before Over two hundred indictments
were returned, and the majority of them have
been made to stick in the Circuit Court. Judge
Winfield will call another grand jury the first
week in January, and it is probable that the VIC
lators of the liquor law will continue to be ha-
rasse1 until they show inclination to respect
the law. There saloons in this city that have
not been closed, day night, for FIVE years.

A Tramp Hero.

Two old tramps ragged and fOOt-sOre
walked slowly down the Fort Wayne
railroad track yesterday afternoon.
Children who saw them coming climbed
quickly over the fence and watched them
pas with half frightened eyes. Careful
housewives noted their presence, with
frOwning eyes and a close lookout to see
that they carried nothing away with
themthat they did not bring. Even the
little dogs eyed them askau ce as they
growled viciOusly or saucily snarled and
showed their teeth.
Down by Jacks Run there was little
white haired baby running along the
track. He was too young to fear anyone
even a tramp, and toy happy picking up
Titles pebbles and laying them on the
rail to heed any danger. And right
there, but few rods away, was coming
a train. The tramps saw it rods away.
One Of them also saw the babe.
Dropping his dirty bundle, he sprang
forward. It was a race for life. The
ramp reached the child %. q minute

Do not Lend or Borrow.

II yoD have good friend and desire
to make an enemy Of him there is no
way in which you can succeed so expo
ditiOusly as to lend him money. He de-
sires TO borrow money because he is short,
he will not be likely 10 pay ut the time
due. for the reason that he continues TO
be short. This will cause You to n0ur-
ish hard feelings and will cause him
20 cross to the other side Of the street
wheE he is likely 10 meet you, and your
interviews thereafter will rot be on a
cordial footing. On the other hand if
you have an acquaintance who tOres yOn
With his company, calling frequently
and staying long time talking about
uninteresting matters, you can usually
dispose Of him also by lending him
money.
Should you ev be- tempted to borrow
money OF run in debt sit down quietly
and ask Yourself what yOm want this
money for If you desire the money for
the purchase of some article of luxury or
other indulgence quietly dismiss the
matter from your mind concluding that
yon cannot afford to purchase that which
yOu have not the money to pay for. Ii
you want the money to help pay for a
farm or house and lot for you own use,
it may be- now and then wise act to Dor
row providing you are reasonably sure
that You pay the debt when called upon.
The secret of making money is in learn
ing not 10 want what you cannot afford.
1t is poor plan to have accounts run
ming with the butcher, the blacksmith,
the wagon maker or the doctor, and all
persons who have such accounts are bOr-
rowers. Pay day will come speedily,
and by buying on credit one is often in
duced to buy that which he would not
buy il called upon to pay cash.
What greater nuisance is there than a
neighbOr who drops in to borrow tea
cupful of sugar, or tea or coffee q quart
Of vinegar. or oil. or medicine. or farm
tools. 1t is impossible for neighbors to
long remain friends who borrow in this
manner. Sooner or later they will for
get TO return some of the items but the
lender never fOrgets what been lent.
Here trouble begins. One who is a per-
petual borrower cannot be independent
nor can he be 10 much OF a man as be
who depends upon his own resources

The invention is called diamond
Reflector" for gas, and it is
claimed that simply by reflection, it more
than doubles the light. The amo-mt OF gas
used is divided, by this device. into four
lights. each of which is placed in front of a
reflector, which greatly increases the light
without aggregating the use or cost Of gas.
The reflector takes the place of an ordinary
gas burner, and when in operation at once
tells the story for itself. 1t is not in com
petition with any other burner, for
it has no rivals. but rather with
the electric light. Territory has
been sold. and the manufacture of the de
vice has been carried on on the Pacific coast,
but the inventor wishes Ia secure a central
location, and 80 has come to the heart of
the country, Springfield, Ohio.
Ii should be stated. in connection with
this, that the Diamond reflector is coming
into general use 0n the Pacific coast. over
