tion-a Revelation" Incidentally he spoke
or the lynching at Scottsburg Friday night.
At the conclusion of his sermon Mr.. Milburn
spoke of the apparent failure of Christs
mission so Tar as external and present ac-
complishment we're concerned. His teach
ings were received with soothing; He was
himself reyiied, and at last put to death.
So he said, it is at the present time. Men
must fail of accomplishing present results.
Those who strive to better the world, 10
work for others, find their regulations as
sailed, their motives misjudged, their efforts
apparently lost. On the other hand, by way
OF contrast, he recalled how, after l,9O0
years. the gospel of Christ, His works and
His noble efforts shine forth, while those
who laid Him low are forgotten. In this
he said, men who are buffeted about must
find a source of inspiration. Though they
may be misjudged now, though their teach
lngs may be scoffed at and though they may
be themselves reckoned as naught. they are
working for time that is beyond their own
foresight.
Man the individual. he said is at best but
narrow and sordid, actuated by mean princi-
pies and selhshness, but little better than
beast. So, too, is society. AS an illustra-
ton he spoke of a recent occurrence where
one hundred men took another man, mental
~ unaccountabe. and subjected him to
violent death, and this in the nineteenth
century. in an age blessed with the light
of Christ'S life

Fully $50 children romped through the

ems society of the Maennerchor, under the
direction of Mrs. Herman Adam. Some of
them We're In fantastic costumes, prepara-
tory to taking part in the stage performance,
and their odd appearance added to the mer-
riment of the occasion. The parents of tho
children gathered in the social rooms and
celebrated the day according to their own
notions. In imitation of the big Christmas
tree erected in the auditorium for the benefit
of the children, the fathers and brothers Of
the youngsters set up a smaller tree in the
social rooms, on which were hung all sorts
of presents calculated to cause u laugh at
the expense OF the person receiving them
The exercises began promptly at O'Clock,
and the ease with which the young people
carried their parts showed that they had
been well trained. The first number was "A
national lullaby, in which over one hun
dred children took part, fifteen being in each
national chorus. The first "cradle song" was
tional dress. as they did in all the other ma
tional lullabies Then came the Norwegian
and Bohemian songs in order, followed by

Maria Rogers. Then came the German and
American cradle songs, the latter of which
was sung by chorus Of children, none of
whom was over five years of age At the
conclusion of the latter song the entire
chorus of over one hundred voices took up
the song in unison, making a pleasing effect.
After brief intermission a play, entitled
'Grandmother's Birthday Party" was rem
dered In German in two acts, under the di-

characters and performance in the play were
as follows:

THE PENTECOST BANDS.
Meeting of the Central Indiana Di-
vision at Showers Hall.

The Central Indiana Division of the Pent-
ecost Bands is holding an "ngathering''
at Showers Hall, ON East Market street.
About forty of the workers of the city,
Broad Ripple, Westland. Bedford and other
towns gathered Saturday morning and be-
gan series of meetings, which will not
end until tonight. The meetings begin at
$50 o'clock in the morning and continue,
with only short intermissions until late at
night. This morning a business meeting
will be held and plans for pushing the
campaign" will be considered.
The religious ferVor which is d striking
feature of the Pentecosters, as they are
called, governs the meetings. When one of
the workers feels that he must express
himself, he does so with little ceremony.
In the hall yesterday afternoon were a
number of farmers and their families, and
others interested in the work, though not
active members of the bands. T. III. Nelson,
the general leader, eXhorted the workers
to go out and do greater things. He had no
patience with people who were feathers on
uniform of the soldier of the Lord. AS he
went on i'm this way to condemn those who
are not willing to give up all else to work
in the ranks" his audience became more
and more excited Long drawn-out means
and ''amens- filled the place. Some be-
came almost frenzied and their high
pitched groans drowned the voice of the
speaker.
I'm wait till you fellows get quiet" said
the speaker and he did wait until the OK
element had subsidized, only to urge them
on TO another climax like the first.

THE LEGISLATORS HEALTH.

DR. ]. n. Hurry, of the State Board of
Health is preparing a paper. in which he
will set forth his views concerning the un-
sanitary condition Of the House of Repre-
sentatives owing to its lack of proper venti-
lation He will show. as a mathematical
problem, that the legislators do not have
enough oxygen at hand 10 supply their
wants while making and unmaking statutes
and that not only in theory is the house
unfit for its purposes, but experience has
shown that considerable sickness among the
lawmakers can be traced directly 10 the poor
ventilation Of the house. 1t is understood
that DR. Hurry Will recommend that an APP
preparation be made to cover the cost of put
ting in a system of artificial ventilation by
which fresh air can be kept circulating IN

the risks Of catching colds from the draughts

The Christmas Sermon of Rev. Mr..
Bacon.

Rev. DR.. Bacon, of Roberts Park NJ E.

Christ the All Inclusive Gift" Said he in
part:

IS the great proof of that love which laid
the deep foundations and built the stair

After he traces the foreknowing and pre-
destinating, the calling and justifying and
final clarifying he decides that God is for
us and who can be against u.s. The saint
as he studies the plan of salvation concludes
God Is very much interested in him. All
men are lifted by Gods machinery to the
plane OF possible salvation. Much had been
done for me before 1 was born Often in
royal households preparation is made for the
coming heir 10 the throne. A crown, scepter
and royal robes await him. But none of
these things necessitate him ever wearing
the crown or welding the scepter. He may
die or more able and ambitious scion of
the royal house may wear the crown. God
has provided a salvation for me- a CALL
Justification, gloritication, crown, q
robe, palm of victory on conditions of

All this argument is clinched by appeal to

Can men longer doubt Gods love Christ

mankind. The incarnation is Gods over

magnificent residence would we be sur
