Members of Roberts Park Church Give 1915
20 Supernatural Ministers.
Although tho revival at Roberts Park Church
has been discontinued, the members continue to
manifest much religious enthusiasm. Yester-
day morning the pastor, DR.. Keen, preached
from the text, .'They that preach the gospel
should liva of the gospel" I Cor. ix IA He
presented, In very forcible manner the claim
of the superannuated and INDECENT ministers of
the Southeast Indiana Conference The amo unit
paid By the churches of this con-
ference for the past year for these
claimants amounted to a little over 81, 400
which was but $16 from each church in the con-
ference, which gave on average Co the worn
out ministers only about $46 piece. He Shove
how the church was indebted 90 thase faithful
minister's who had spent their lives for the
cause of God. and many had done so when they
received only meagre support in the early days
of the church. He said that while he bad any
thing left he would always divide with two
classes of persons-the INDECENT minister and
soldier. Roberts Park gave $50 last year for
this cause. and this year asked for collection
of at least $780, The baskets were passed, and
there was gathered up 1915.
The Sunday-school room was crowded yester-
day. usual. and the exercises very inter
esting. The officers of the church have decided
to increase the seating capacity before another
Sunday. The song service and the evening
sermon were largely attended. Nine persons
joined the church during the day.

Bismarck's kiss.
Boston AdvartisAr

Bismarck's act in kissing the forehead OF his
dead master" as he called the old Emperor,
has called forth some comment the past day or
two about the deep tenderness of heart of 1tthe
man of blood and IRON" Now such an act on
the part of man of everyday human, affec-
tional feeling would never be noticed or COM
mented upon; but on the part of a man who has
never given evidence of possessing throb of
sympathy with the ornmon woes of humanity
il ia pounced upon at once as giving indications
of deep we'll of affection which the grim
grained statesman has been pains to hide
from the world. It is always thus, even in
everyday, ordinary life; the habitually cold or
hard people who are moved upon rare occasion
into letting people see they have any feelings at
all apt to get credit for affectiouate depths
unfathomable to ordinary people, while the
deeds of kindly souls who are every day doing
and wasting themselves for others are apt to get
no credit at all

twenty men at once organized and left for

Then reported everything quiet at Waha-
lax: their presence was not required there.
They told the following story of the riot:
Last Thursday a son OF e. +. Nicholson.

negro desperate driving in an opposite
direction. Young Nicholson's vehicle. by
accident, came in collision with that of the
negro who kept in the middle of the road

negro cursed the youngster, when old Mr.
Nicholson appeared and interfered. The
negro thereupon drew revolver. but in

today in the hope that the other mem bers
of the committee Will arrive. The COM
mittee will make a special effort to ad-
vance the disabilities BILL as it is called. in

the chairman, spoke confidently of success,
We have decided, said he in speaking OF
the action Of the committee, TO do what
we can TO secure the passage Of the bill or
what has been more generally known as
the dependent pension bill.
This is the only pension measure whose
passage you desire5'
At is the only one I VIII push until
passed. The Grand Army thinks the time
has come when every soldier who
served in the union army should be pen
toned. That, however, IS secondary
