bail game between schererville and
Dyer.
During the electrical storm here Fri
day evening lightning struck Kaspe-
Beiriger's house tearing away one
chimney and damaging the roof. The
roof started to burn. but the heavy
downpour Of rain that followed imme-
diately quenched the flames. No one
was hurt although the family was
badly frightened.
The ball game Sunday afternoon be-
tween Schererville and Dyer resulted
in a victory for Dyer by a score of
II to 4. One of the main featuresof
the game was the constant wrangling
and rag chewing over some trifing
errors. A large crowd of visitors was
in attendance but the game was not
q interesting as 1t might have been.
1t would be rather difficult for an I'M
biased witness to state which side was
TO blame as each side, of course, claim
to be right.
There will be dance on Wednesday
evening. July %, at Spring Hill Grove,
St John. Mr. Koehle promises a good
time to all who attend. Good music
and refreshments. Don't forget the

WHITING NEWS
Reasons For Non-Attendance.

Rev. Frank NJ Webster of the Con-
gregational church preached an inter
esting sermon Sunday night using as
his theme. why Do So Few People
go to Church in Whiting?" the text
being taken from the 1920 Psalm.
The subject was worked up in very
interesting discourse, reading notes
which he had from several persons
why they did not attend church more
frequently. One letter was to the eff
feet that one man said he found more
pleasure in attending his lodge. for
when sickness came he had a steady in
come. which he would not have from
the church. Rev. Webster said persons
had ought to attend church for their
spiritual welfare if for nothing more.
Another letter was from a mother
asking Rev. Webster to use his power
in getting her son to ettend church.
Rev Webster impressed on the moth
er's mind that if she would attend
church herself, that the task would be
half accomplished, but as long as moth
ers did not attend church, sons would
not attend.
Rev. Webster said that for the popu-
lation an exceedingly few people at
tended church services. but hoped they
would soon realize that it was to
their benefit to attend church.
The sermon as a whole was most
interesting and beneficial and not noce
did he lose the attention of hiE con-
gregation.
