CHRISTIAN
Bible School 9:45 a. m.
Preaching at II a. m. and 7 p. m.
A meeting in many ways the best
ever hs'd in the Christian church
here, has just been closed. The past
may hold the record of meetings in
which there were more conversions,
but never in our history, | think it
may be safely said, has any man
brought larger vision of God, his
love and his purpose in the world.
Certainly never before was there
shown a more beautiful christian
spirit in the evangelist and never a
larger and more complete fellowship
of the ministers and people of other
faiths. B. G. Reavis is a powerful
speaker, a keen thinker and fearless
in the presentation of what he con-
ceives and knows to be the truth.
He is a firm believer in the book, a
a firmer believer in the person of
Jesus and a man OF unwavering
and unmurmuring faith in men.
That this is time is attended by the
fact that several of the best none
tary offerings to him were made by
persons of other faiths. Bro. Reavis
is a mans man. His messages to
men only were clean. unsensational
and electrlfying. He is unabusive
in his method and constructive in
his work. He brought US all Wis
ion of larger things. He left us feel
ing that christians are what they
are not for themselves but for the
general good. Bro Ballew wen his
way into our hearts and will be long
and kindly remembered. The re-
suits of the meeting measured in
addition were 2 by statement and
6 by conversion. The gratitude of
church and pastor is extended to
all our sister churches for their
sympathy help and attendance. We
appreciate all you have done in
any way whatever. We will ever
try in our feeble way to reciprocate
your goodness and generosity.

Lewis and three deputies made a
raid on a game in room over Harris
grocery. Six men were found in
the room. Prosecuting Attorney
Stewart came in from Paris with
the Sheriff and his deputies and JUS
tice of the Peace S. 7. Pollard was
called in and assessed the fines at
$50 each and costs. total of $57 IS
each. The Law and Order League
has $4,000 hung up at Paris to sup
press the illegal sale of liquor and
gambling and this means that all
had best desist. Reports are that
two other games were tipped off
and were not going when officers
appeared. The punishment on il
legal selling of liquor in dry terri

is very dangerous. 1t is always
safest to obey the law The grand
jury is now in session and there
may be indictments for illegal sale
of liquor and gambling.

! learned something that morn
ing, visiting an Indiana school. |
learned that throughout the United
States there are about five rats for
every human being, and as we have
a population of about 100, 900, 900
persons, we are feeding rat popu-
lation of some 500. 900, 900. At a
rate of cents day, each rat costs
US close to 81. 80 year. You can
figure for yourself what the total rat
population of our entire country
costs us. In the State of Indiana
alone the daily cost for rats, at this
rate, is something like S4oo, 900!
The loss to other States is proper
tlonate. The only difference be-
tween Indiana and other States is
not one of rats-but rather of en-
lightenment. Indiana does things,
but it has had to struggle to do
them
Under the supervision of DR.. ].
N. Hurry, of the State Board of
Health, the rat and its relation to
the destruction of property and
health are to be studied in all the
public schools throughout the State.
A section of the law now makes it
the duty of school and health au-
thorites to provide charts, text
books, etc., in order to carry out
the details of the plan In a most
efficient manner. DIR. Hurty's rat
chart is to be placed in every school,
room, and every teacher is provid-
ed with an interesting pamphlet
which outlines the life story of the
rat, and in such a simple and direct
manner that any child can under
stand. Instructions in how to
make buildings and dwellings frat
proof" will also be given. The
people are in earnest. Failure to
teach this subject in the schools is
punishable with a fine OF from $40
to S25.
All this, OF course, is only one
phase of the question and of what
Indiana intends to do. The Im-
portant thing to bear in mind is the
fact that there is one State 10 the
Union with sufficient foresight and
uawarenessn to know menace
when 1t sees one, and to take pres
ent steps and far-seeing ones both
for the present and oncoming gen.
erations. The last session of the
Indiana State Legislature made all
this possible, but not without some
thought and some struggle on the
part of Somebody. {. Cooper,
