The Picture Rocks Sunday School
pic mic held at Mokoma Park on
Friday of last week, was accom-
panied by the excellent band of that
place. During the afternoon they
marched up to our quiet hamlet and
serenaded several residences, the hotels
and the News Item Office. Having
reasons to feel proud of their music
they were not at all stingy of it and
music lovers expressed gladness that
they were not. Band master j. r.
Edler is easily recognized as highly
cultured instructor and musician.
His players are instructed to drink
nothing but cold water which fact, no
doubt, accounts largely for their abil-
ity and bright attainments. They
refused cordial invitations extended
them at the hotels, but while giving
the News Item some choice selec-
tions, called upon the Editor for
water. The very best to be secured
was gladly furnished them and they
drank of its cooling freshness with a
natural air of satisfaction. This in
cldent being so much out of the Or

tract OF land was decided TO Miss Barton
by DR.. Joseph Gardner. physician. Eight
years ago Or. Gardner became interested in

The principles set forth in the above
preamble and resolutions were kept in force
until the quarterly meeting in May, 1870,
when they were reScinded, and consent
was given to the introduction of a choir
and organ.
The man who sees Professor Eckert

in ideas since the adoption of the Sing
ing Resolutions in 1916.
When the Roberts Chapel congregation
decided TO change its location the trustees
purchased one acre of ground at the corner
of Delaware and Vermont streets for
$1,000. On this site the present house of
worship was erected at a cost of $4,000,
and dedicated in August, 1876. AT the time
of the dedication the debt was $4,000 and
this was not fully paid until 1900, although
1t was reduced at different times. The name
of this organization was changed to Rob-
erts Park Methodist Episcopal Church in
1870, when they moved from the old loca-
ton on Market street to the present place.
SOME NOTABLE EVENTS.
This church, well as Meridian-street,
the mother church, has always been
marked for its missionary spirit, and for
the disposition TO do aggressive Christian
work. 1t was unusually evangelistic in it's
plans. In 1881 occurred what was known as
the great revival. in which the Rev Thomas
Harrison, the hoy evangelist" played such
an important part. The meetings continued
from some time in April until July IT, not
withstanding the intense heat. 1t was said
at that time that there were ], 300 converts
and many who attended the meetings be-
came members of other churches i'm fact,
almost every denomination in Indianap polls
reaped from the sowing of these meetings.
DR.. Milburn, former pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church, says of Roberts Park
Thomas Harrison held a second meeting
with the church in 1902, but the results
were not SO large as in the first meeting
Some of the most noted preachers of the

considered very fine for that time. This,
for a number of years, was the only Meth

the work of this church, in early years,
that gave the impress that largely fixed
the character of Indianapolis MethOdism.
In later years this organization sent out
many delegations to form newer and
smaller societies. which are now helping to
accomplish great things for the city. In
1912 the work was divided into Indianapolis
and the eastern charge. The preacher for
the first was Lucien W. Berry, and for the
eastern charge the preacher was John S.
Bayliss. One year later the divisions were
known as the western and the eastern
charges. Wesley Chapel was continued as
such until 1871, when the new house of
worship was dedicated on Meridian street,
since when il has been known as Meridian
street Church. The two churches. Meridian
