JUDGE GARY
VERY OPTIMISTIC
THINKS THAT RETURNING PROS
PERITY is NOW IN SIGHT.
Pres dent of the Big Steel Corpora
ton Is In a Position to Know
What He Is Talking About.

GARY, Ind, May 14.-In a speech
delivered here yesterday at lunch
con rendered him by the Gary Com
mercial Club, Judge E. H. Gary, chair
man of the board of directors of the
United States Steel Corporation voiced
the belief that the country is now re-
covering from from the effects OF the
panic and that the return of prosper
ity is now in sight. He said:
Upon the business future of this
place and Of the country generally
will depend to a greater or less extent
the development of our great steel
works at this place. We have not
been SO prosperous during the past
eighteen months as We were before
that time. We have been travelling
along in cloud of mist more or less.
Conditions have been uncertain and no
one could say definitely what the
future might bring.
But the clouds are lifting, the mists
are clearing away and we shall soon
see that after all the sun of prosperity
is shining just as brightly as ever. In
my Judgment we will soon be on the
high road to prosperity"
Judge Gary, with George w. Per
kins, President E. ]. Burlington, of the
Indiana Steel Company, and a number
of prominent steel officials, will spent
the rest of the week in an inspection
of the western plants of the corpora
| ton.

examinations of that day, and that he
had the questions, or could get the
questions of the examination to take
place Wednesday morning at .
O'Clock. Dr. Mclean did not place any
credence in the matter until DR.. John
, ston told him that he would bring to

REV. JOHN VAN SCHAICK ON
MISSION OF THE CHURCH.
Observance Of the Ninth Anniver.
sary Of His Passionate at the
Church Of Our Father.

The congregation Of the Church Of Our
Father. Universalist, heard the pastor,
Rev. John Van Setback. preach his ninth
anniversary sermon. yesterday morning.
taking for his subject, 1.-THE Mission of
the Church"
Revelation is progressing, he asserted
and the existence of any church that
does not put worship first will be short
lived. It matters not what form of cere-
mony Is used, the life OF God must be
brought into the souls Of men. He con-
tinued:
L am among you.' said Jesus. 'as he
that serveth.' The Christianity OF Christ
was a practical Christianity. He went
about doing good. He helped the people
and their suffering, and if we spend our
time seeking out abstract truths. or SIM
ply In prayer, allowing ourselves to be
led into mystic emOtionalism, We are not
adhering to our Masters doctrine. He
sanctified Himself that others might
serve
Mr. Van Schaick remarked that the
methods of the church should depend
upon the section in which 1t is located
1t should hold up high and noble ideas.
1t may be called upon to run hospital. a
nursery, a settlement or manual train
ing school. 1t should always be ready
and willing to step into the gap and min
lister to a need, and try to edcuate the
community. 1t should do these things
for itself, but never duplicate other In
situations or agencies unless there is need
of duplication.
The church should never forget that its
business is the business of inspiration
1t must furnish the enthusiasm, fire the
men with courage and determination and
give man a greater faith in God and q
greater love for his felloW-beings.
