Of our God?' Some day! Sooner,
perhaps than we think.
Our God in mercy has visited this
mysterious earthland. Jesus Christ,
bearing every possible credential of
divinity, has wept amid our per-
plexities and sorrows, aud prayed
for our peace in the cold solitude
Of our midnight mountains. How
lovingly and patiently aud plainly
he came and translated the language
of our infinite God into the tongue
of finite man! And whilst he
warned us of that awful world of
woe, it was only that we might
turn from il and give the most
earnest heed to his long, sweet
message concerning the bright
Beulah land whittier he has gone,
and where he is gathering together
"his loved and his own" BY the
crystal river in the midst Of the
city under the trees of life.

Righteous and travel worn old
fathers whose voices failed in death
as they whispered softer and softer
their loving faregells are there.
Tender, self-sacriiicing mothers
who have flown from ten thousand
earth. homes, like white. winged
doves through the windows Of
death, are there, wearing diadems
upon their beautiful brows, as they
watch for their loved ones and smile
in the sunlight of God. Brides and
grooms who never reached their
nuptial hour, whose wedding festivi-
ties on earth were intercepted by ac
cident and death, are there waiting
for the better and immortal bridal
of the soul. Husbands and wives
ere there; sweet and gentle sisters
and brave and manly brothers who
paled and tainted and fell into the
tomb under the burden of human
inhrmity, are there, robed in theil
shining garments in that "sun,
bright cline" And most beautiful
of all and nearest the great, eterna
throne are the shining ranks of
white-robed children and babes,
basking in loving smile and behold
ing forever the face of our Father
which is IN heaven!
My God! how rapturous is the vi

THE LAST CHANCE
TO PAY THOSE TAXES

At o'clock this evening Hammond
taxpayers will have their last oppor-
tunity to pay their taxes. this being the
first Monday in May. which, according
to law, is the last day on which taxes
may be paid to keep property off the
delinquent list.
Judging from the number of taxpay-
ers in the city treasurer's office today
comparatively only few people wait
ed until the last day to make their set
tlement The last two hours, however
are expected to be busy ones. as there
are quite a number of working men
who will have to rely on this oppor-
tunity to settle up.
Hundreds of checks came in by mail
and beginning tomorrow the office
force in the treasury department will
begin to send out tax receipts for these.
Many of these checks are merely sign
ed and instructions given to the city
treasurer to fill in the required amount,
so to avoid any delinquency.

Four men were injured, one seri-
ously, when concrete roof which the
men were erecting on the substation
of the Northern Indiana Gas & Elec-
tric Company's plant, fell and precipi-
tated them to the ground last Satur-
day.
The accident is said to have been
due to knotted beam which was not
heavy enough to bear the strain. The
men were all working on top of the
roof. 1t is said to be remarkable that
no one was killed. Among those in
jured are:
HARRY RIFF, 500 Indiana avenue,
foreman for J. H. McC1ay, sustained In
juries about the arms and legs.

the leasing of the Hammond theatre,

mate attractions only.

book the Hammond theatre very nicely
in connection with number of other
houses of a similar character in the
middlewest.
He said that If he got the Hammond
theatre he would simply add it to a
string of others. He says he controls
enough houses to enable him to guar
antee a seasons bookings for the best

Kick on Wagons.

Frank O'Rourke last Friday made a
thorough investigation of the ice cream
par1or about which complaint was made
to him following the sickness of the
Peter Fox family. but found no cause
for complaint about the place. The
dealer denied that he had sold ice
cream to any member of the Fox fami-
ly.
Mr. O'Rourke has written to the state
pure food inspector to learn whether or
not the ice cream wagons can be kept
off the streets entirely, Mr.. O'Rourke
being of the opinion that all the ice
cream is more or less contaminated be-
cause of dust and the open wagons.

TITANIC'S DEAD

Halifax, Nova Scotia. May 6.-The
search for bodies of victims of the IT.
tanic disaster is to be continued. and
the Canadian government steamer,
Montmagny is to sail today, relieving
the Minia, which is expected to return
with less than twenty bodies. The
Minia and the Mackay-Bennett. the
two cable ships which have been
searching. are required for their regu-
lar work.
AS a last recourse an application was
made to the Dominion government for
the Montmagny. 1t is about four knots
faster than either of the cable ships and
well adapted to the work 1T will have
to do. Supplies were taken for a cruise
of ten days or more. Ample material
required by undertakers will be put on
board.
The steamer will cruise along the
edge of the gulf stream, and 1t is ex-
pected that bodies will be found in cold
water rs far north, perhaps. as 100
miles from the place where the Titanic
went down.
