business or The success Of the republic
an government is my business; what can
L do to further it?
Perhaps this lack Of feeling OF duty Is
due TO the fact that the pulpit In New Eng
land was for fifty years telling the indt-
yidual 10 save his own soul, and That ne
had nothing to do but save his own SOUL
But that sort of preaching is happily now
at an end. And the pulpit to-day is Irg-
ing our duty to others. and does not restrict
itself to salvation. The pulpit has drifted
largely into a bad use OF the word duty
We hear OF a mans duty TO himself. 10 his
mind and to his body. but in a fair study or
ethics the word involves our relation "a
God and our fellows. Nine-tenths o. the
sins OF the world are sins of omission and
not of commission.
There is something grand when we look
back on the study of the Catechism In New
England years ago. When the pastor OF
the church left his pulpit TO catechise the
boys and girls standing In line. IL was like
a commencement. What did he say TO the
boy waiting first in line? He asked that
great central question, Son, what is the
chief end of man?' and the boy answered,
The chief end of man Is TO glorify God
Enough OF the fathers Of our country
did live to Gods glory to give a helpful
influence and element to the legislation OF
the early States. hat element we now
call public spirit Where these ideas are
dominant love OF country, public spirit and
good citizenship are active"

In 1887 He Gave $4,000 to the Same

Education of Ministers.
to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WARSAW, Ind, June ia deed was re-
corded here to-day conveying all of the
real estate and personal property of Elijah
Hays, a pioneer resident of Warsaw, to
Bishop Charles o. McCabe, Of Omaha;
James N. Fitzgerald, OF st. Louis; Lemuel
W.. Royse, William d. Alleman and the
Rev. Daniel H. Guild, OF Warsaw, as trus-
tees. the real estate to be converted into
cash, the principal to be invested by the
trustees and the interest therefrom to be
used in educating young men for ministers
of the gospel of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at the Nicholas Low Theological
Institute at Mercedes, Argentina, South
America.
The gift, together with cash, notes and
other personal property turned over, rep
resents a sum of about 81. 900. and has &C
cumulated from an annuity received from
the General Methodist Episcopal Foreign
Missionary Society which the organization
has been paying to Mr.. Hays since 1887.
At that time Elijah Hays was sixty-eight
years of age. and was credited with being
the wealthiest man in Koscisuko county,
every penny he had being invested in real
estate. With no heirs whatever, he and
his wife, who died a few months ago, con-
cluded to deed all OF their property to the
General Methodist Foreign Missionary So
ciety. Mr.. Hays estimated his gift sixteen
years ago at $4,000. Bishop McCabe, on be-
half of the society. agreeing to pay Mr..
Hays and his wife the annuities received
since of $1,000 and $500 respectively.
Elijah Hays Is now in his eighty-fifth
year, and the only stipulation he makes
in making this last gift is that the trustees
pay him 6 per cent. interest on the amount
of cash he has turned over to them until
his death. when the entire estate decided
becomes theirs to use for the education of
Methodist ministers at the Nicholas Low
Institute.
MI. Hays has also given many sums In
cash to the missionary society at different
periods since turning his estate over to
that organization, and in 1901 he gave the
North Indiana Methodist Conference a
home for superannuated and WORKOUT
ministers Of the church. this gift amounting
to about 5000, which includes two lots at
Winona lake, where the home Is located,
and which is known as the Hays memorial
building.
Mr.. Hays Is an inventor of note, being
the patentee of several valuable devices,
among which are vehicle brakes, fence
posts, nut locks, car couplings. etc. He
was born at York, Pa, on June 2, 1878, and
came to Kosciusko county in 1S43. In 1S46
he welded Miss Mary s. Stinson, a native
of Pike county, Ohio. Mr.. Hays has been
a member Of the Warsaw Methodist Church
perance, but belongs TO no secret society.
He is firm in the belief that $4,000 ought
to be enough for any man, and that any
surplus should be expended toward ex-
tending the influence of Christianity
throughout heather lands.

LAFAYETTE. Ind. June 19.-To the re-
lief OF every citizen Of Lafayette the big
six-million gallon pump was slowly started
about noon to-day and is now pouring
thousands OF gallons Of water into the res
ervofr and mains of the city. This relieves
the unsafe situation and averts a famine
that undoubtedly would have had disastrous
results. When the water in the reservoir
reaches a safe limit the water in the mains
down town will be flushed out and all the
impure supply that has entered the system
in the past three days will be discharged.
There is hardly any water in the big
tank at Columbian Park, as the supply
now being obtained is being poured into
the empty mains about the city. Many
hosts of others had a very meager supply
This morning there was hardly six inches
of water above the outlet pipe in the reser-
