wheeling, 1ntelleRencerl

|
Next SUNDAY will mark the begin
the Baptist church in the history of
the Baptist church in this city, for on
| that day will be announced by the
Rev. F b. Brinninstool, pastor of the
First church, comprehensive plan by
which 1t is expected that the Baptist
congregation in Wheeling may take
great forward strides and come in
time to fill the field which the pastor
and leading members of the church
feel is awaiting this sect.
The plan, which comprehends the
calling OF another minister to the local
field and placing him in charge of the
Emmanuel chapel at 1884 Eoff street.
with the ultimate enlargement of the
work In this field to the point that a
separate church will be pecessary was
decided upon at a general congrega-
tional meeting held on Wednesday
night following the regular mid.week
prayer meeting. At this time the
question. which had been generally
discussed during the first half of the
week, following it's advocation in a
sermon last Sunday by the pastor, was
threshed out thoroughly and finally on
vote unanimously adopted.
The extension of the week of the
church through the placing of a pas
tor over the chapel on the South Side
Is now assured, though no formal an. |
nouncement has yet been made to the
congregation. This is to come at the
regular morning service next Sunday |
though the theme of the sermon would |
hardly indicate as much, Christmas |
service being planned. However, Rev.
Brinninstool will take occasion to go |
into the detail of the plan that all of
MS congregation who .were not in at.
tendance at the meeting on Wednes.
day evening may fully understand Just
what is projected
The Emmanuel chapel which it is
proposed to place under the direct
charge OF pastor has been conduct
ed in connection with the First Bap.
list church of Wheeling for nearly
twenty years. For the past fifteen
years 1t has been located at 1884 Eoff
street, where the church owns the
and grounds. This structure
VIII be retained for the present, but
If the success anticipated Is met with
It will be but short period until the
erection of separate church will be
necessity. this being comprehended
in the plan of the First church.
That the extension work of the
church may be uniform and as a part
Of the city wide plan, the work at
Calvary chapel on the Island will also
be given larger attention than has
been possible in the past, it being the
expectation that the time which the
Rev. Brinninstool and members of the
of the First church have
iivided between the two chapels can
Ill be given to the Calvary chapel in
.he future, as well as a part of that
of the new pastor who is to be called
% the field.
Though so far little effort has been
made to locate anyone to fill the new
'astorate in this city, yet number of
likely ministers of the Baptist faith
ire in view and overtures will be
made to them within the next few
lays.

TO ABANDON COUNTY OPTION

Minnesota Prohibitionists Decide On
Line Of Action.
At the fifteenth annual banquet of
the Minnesota Prohibition party,
held in Minneapolis, Charles J. Hall
OF Los Angeles, speaking authori-
tatively for the executive committee
of the party in Minnesota, announced
that in the future county optionists
will receive no aid from the party.
While the announcement was re-
ceived with some surprise different
members of the Prohibition party de.
clared such action had long been con-
templated. The defeat of the county
option bill in the legislature forced
the split between the two factions. !
From now on the strength Of the
Prohibition party will be concentrated
on. constitutional amendment pro-
hibiting the sale Of liquor. To that
end over $500 was subscribed at the
banquet. A direct fight in every coun-
ty in Minnesota will be made in the
ca mpaign Of 1912, said Prohibition
lists.

SIMILAR TO MINNESOTA CASE

Nevada Federal Court Upholds State
Freight Rates.
Directly contrary to the findings
of Judge G. e. Otis of st. Paul,
master of chancery in the famous
Minnesota rate cases, is the decision
Of the federal circuit court of Nevada,
Just handed down.. holding that intra-
state rates 1lxed BY the state railroad
commission can have no bearing on
interstate rates, if the former are fair
and just. The opinion goes still fur
Their by saying:
There is, therefore, presumption
provided by the statute that the rates
fixed by the railroad commission shall
be deemed just and reasonable" be-
cause they were made after full in
vestigation by the state railroad and
warehouse commission
In many ways the Nevada case is
similar to those acted on by Judge
Otis and recently argued before Judge
Sanborn of the United States circuit
court.
