CONFERENCE SERMON.
An Interesting Discourse by the Rev.
DIR. Charles Tinsley.

The conference sermon at 2:SO o'clock yes
terday afternoon was by the Rev. Dr..
Charles Tinsley. an old and able minister OF
Indiana. His seventy-one years have fallen
easily on his shoulders, and he is yet active
in the work. For fifty years he has worked
with God in his life's work. At the con-
ference last year request was made that
Mr.. Tinsley preach the conference sermon
this year. and 1t was suggested that he also
make his sermon a semi-centennial talk.
DR.. Stansfeld presided at the service,
which opened with the hymn. "Come, let US
join our cheerful songs On each side of
the pulpit stood a vase of beautiful, fresh
roses.
DR.. Tinsley used for his text a selection
found in Deut. vi, 4, s. Hear o Israel the
Lord our God, is one Lord; and thou shalt
love the Lord thy God, with all thine heart,
might"
Early in his sermon he talked of his early
work in the ministry. of his experience as
circuit preacher. His first work was at
Martinsville, where he remained for three
months. DR.. Tinsley recalled that when he
was asked where he would like to go he re-
piled: Il know nothing about it. / am in
Gods hands. to do his bidding" And I've
tried TO keep these ever since" he added.
In telling of the instance. For his first
three months service DR.. Tinsley received
SIS. The first regular appointment from
conference was to Morgantowns, Ind. In
those days the pastor was expected TO
board around" and DIR. Tinsley did his
share of it, The old minister created laugh
by telling of place just at the edge of Nor
gantown which he liked very much.
"Plenty of milk and ginger bread,'' he said.
land l was fond of 1T, but the place was
finally spiked for me by the report that got
out that L was going to marry the girl that
lived there. hadn't the courage to go
there after that"
DR.. Tinsley's sermon was listened to with
the deepest attention, and Ii was punctuated
with the most fervent amens from the audi
ence.
"One-half of our theology is disgustingly
filed with the doubts Of skeptics," said he.
What we need is the practical teaching of
the word. 1 am glad our Christian colleges
have men who kneel at the altar with the
students and lead them to Christ"
The preacher said the Lord prepares US
for love by putting babies in families. by
educating these babies to love through the
mothers instinct of love. 1t draws out and
develops the little ones affection The
three points Of the sermon were to love God
with the heart, the mind and the strength.
I'VE should go into religion heart fore
most" the preacher said. THE heart alone
is apt to make fanatics; the mind alone Is
apt to make intellectually proud; the
heart and mind must be united in the opera
ton. Then love God with all our might, and
that means our best"

ing The street is well lined with shade
trees, and through these were interviewer
strings of Japanese lanterns Of every color
imaginable
Along the sidewalk booths, well lighted
and gayly decorated, were constructed, and
here the wares of the fair were sold. At
the far end of the street a large stand had
been built and from this the Seneff Ladies
Military Band furnished music. The resi-
dences were also well lighted and on the
lawns ice cream and lemonade were served
to all who entered and paid their money

Madame De Armand, the fortune teller,
enticed the visitor into having his future
life revealed for 10 cents. Throughout the
evening HeT tent was the DeSt patrOnlZeQ.
There was always a crowd of laughing
girls waiting at her door. On the other
side of the street the fair booths began.

lighted with a profusion of Japanese lam
terms, under which ice cream and refresh
ing drinks were served by young girls in
dainty attire. The Indian village was also
brilliant place among the trees. 1t was
made more realistic by a tribe of little In
dams. with long feathers down their backs
hopping around and venting their joy in
deafening war whoops. The village was
in charge of Mrs. Shaffer and Mrs Barnett

BIG AUDIENCE OF METHoDIsTs.
The Anniversary of the Education
society Is Celebrated

A great audience OF Methodists turned out
last night to attend the celebration of the
anniversary OF the Education Society
which was held at Meridian-street Church.
Dr. Martin presided and the speakers were
Dr. w. F. Mcdowell, of New York. and
DIR. Hughes. the new president of De Pauw.
The speakers made an eloquent appeal in
the interests of De Pauw University and
Moore's Hill College. DR.. Mcdowell spoke
first. In the course OF his talk he related
story of how great railroad company
announced that IL had equipped its line
with splendid new engines and cars and
that all OF this had been done without con-
sulting the engineers of the road. When
the new equipment arrived and the en-
gineers looked it over they quietly informed
the management that every bridge on the
road would have to be rebuilt. II say that
the wealth OF this life has become so great"
continued the speaker. that every educa-
tional bridge that We construct must be
strong and beautiful and have every good
quality. An education that is simply scien-
tihc will not do That education is best
winch brings man most closely to the
largest aud best forces in the world"
DIT Mcdowell recalled the words of Gar
Held when he said: "A log with Mark Hop
kins on one end and student on the other
would be university Dr. Mcdowell was
not much in sympathy with this declara-
tion, but rather liked the comment that
another man made about Mr.. Garfields
statement: The other one said "a log
Win Mark Hopkins on one end and stu
cent on the other would constitute a seat
OF learning and nothing else"
AS between culture and conservation"
SAID the speaker, those who are 10 be the
leaders OF men must choose both. AS be-
tween scholarship and sanctifcation those
VINO are 10 do the work OF God must choose
both. AS between the college certificate
and the baptism OF the Holy Ghost, those
VINO are 10 do Christs business must choose
both"
MOST PATHETIC FIGURE
DIR. Mcdowell said that to him the most
pathetic figure in the New Testament is the
withered hand God pity the church that
has one" he said. He recalled that DIR.
Payne would say that the end of Christian
culture Is Christian character 1.-The end
Of the training" said DIR. Mcdowell. lis. as
some one put IL. that there shall come a
whole host OF people. not simply inquirers.
but doers" The speaker believes the time
Is coming when We will build not more
1ronclads, but win. In times of peace. pre-
pare for more peace. He thinks Gods plan
contenplates the day when the human race
will beat into agricultural implements all

POLICEMEN SOON DISCHARGED


Patrolmen Crabtree and Burris, of the city
police department, were yesterday arrested
by constable from Justice Moores court
In Haughville, and were given an Immediate
hearing before that tribunal on charges OF
assault and battery. The arrest of the po-
licemen was the result of i'll will felt toward
them by Elmer Deyson. a well-kno IN
Haughville character. whom they arrested
several days ago On a charge of lettering.
Deyson was given a hearing in the Police
Court, and, as there were reasons for
flning him, he was allowed his freedom, but
his ire had been aroused by his arrest and
he decided TO get even with the police. He
claimed In the Justices court that his ar
rest was illegal because he had not been
taken into custody under warrant. The
policemen touching him with their hands
and forcibly taking him 10 the police sta
ton constituted assault, he said. The
patrolmen were defended by Prosecutor Ira
Holmes and City Prosecutor Gaylord Haw-
kins, and. after hearing both sides OF the
case, the justice dismissed the defendants.
