First Address tn the Dnnkards.
Special TO the Indianapolis Jeurnai.
MUNCIE. Ind. May 2O.-At the opening
service last night of the Dunkards' Confer
ence, Elder Samuel Click. of Nevada, Mo-,
invoked the divine blessing. his prayer
being an eloquent and earnest plea for the
success of the meeting and the betterment
of the people. The sermon. at the first reg
ular service. was preached by Elder j. H.
Moore editor of the Gospel Messeng ger, the
official organ of the church. He 10 also u
member of the standing committee. He
has q rich. baritone voice. W hich filed the
great hall and could be dis tinctly heard IN
the remotest corners of the tabernacle. He
took for his subject Tho Perfect Law of
Liberty"
Did you ever think" said he. that the
Old Testament WAS the only Bible that
Christ and the apostles had! 1t was this
book they used while travelling mp and
down the country, when they gave to us
this perfect law. Legislative bodies can
make laws to govern us outwardly.
but this perfect law of the Lord
is made for tho inner man. Ii comes to the
heart. and the heart Is what makes the
man. Christ wants to get hold OF the
hearts of the people,"
The speaker illustrated his points by ref
erence To Bonaparte and other men who
had wonderful control of people, because
of having reached their hearts. Luther
WAS another example The speaker con-
cluded by showing that the Scriptures. the
pei ect law of the Lord. are indestructlble.

The scare in reference to cholera
visiting this country during 1893
brings to mind the fact that, in 1866,
there was cholera in Boone County,

on the Garth farm, southeast of Mex
leo, became quite a hero at that time.
There were three families in Boone
County in which the cholera was rag
ing, The folks were sick in bed and
on the floor and in destitute condi-

Edwards, out of pure humanity, took
his life in his hands and became a
