the city Knowing that it was only a
question of time when the college would
be surrounded by homes, 1t was decided
to start a Bible school half way be-
tween the church and the college. This
was the beginning Of Central church.
On December II, 1883, "a members were
granted letters from the First church,
that they might organize the Central
Congregational church. The first place
OF meeting was over the store on Hun
toOn street, near Lincoln street. Two
things were decided upon. First, the
location for the new church; and Sec
ond, the finding of a pastor. In the
spring Of 1889 the Rev. Charles M. Shell
don accepted the pastorate. For twen-
ty-three years he was the pastor, dur
ing which time the church grew in
membership from "a to $50.
A small stone building was erected on
Huntoon street between Buchanan and
Clay streets, in which the firts service
was held on June %, 1889. Later kim
dergarten known as the Bowman
Memorial was added on the east. In
the year 1909 final reconstruction of
the church was made. giving splendid
auditorium with connecting Bible school
rooms and basement.
Church Became Famous.
During these years Central church
came to be known the world over
through the book which was first read
before the EndeavOr society on Sunday
evenings, which became one of the
most widely read books in the world,
I'm His Steps," In succeeding years
DIR. Sheldon wrote other books which
have been published and read by an
appreciative public. In this way Gen.
trail church was more than a Topeka
church. The message of its pastor made
1t Mecca for visitors from all over the
United States.
finally decided to give up the pastorate
that he might respond to calls which
Tor years had been coming to him tC
speak in the cities of the world. The
church sought to retain DR.. Sheldon as
pastor. offering to secure an assistant
would be the wisest plan. With great
reluctance the church accepted his de.
cision givinr him the honorary title OF
minister-at-large.
DIR. Roy b. Guild, Pastor.
In the spring of 1912 the committee or
the selection of a pastor entered into 6
correspondence with DR.. Roy B. Guild
then acting as secretary of the Men ant
Religion Forward movement, askins
that he permit his name to be presented
as a possible pastor for the church

PENNANT WINNERS.
Summary Of Baseball Season JUS
ClOsed-Was an Epoch Year.

New York, Oct. 17-With the
worlds baseball championship and al
most all the pennant races in the ma
jor and minor leagues decided, the
baseball season Of 1914 has passed
into history. Many of the events
which occurred during the playing
season. as well as those which imme-
diately preceded the departure Of the
various teams to their training camps
were of a sensational character. The
invasion OF the major league circuit
by new organization, its stubborn
fight for recognition. the enforced ex-
traOrdinary advance in the salaries of
prominent players, the legal battles
fought for the retention or subjuga-
ton of several alleged contract break
ers kept the baseball world in q fer
ment for months. The around-the-
world trip Of the foremost diamond
stars. which was. both financially and
instructively. a huge success, was ..
big step toward making the great
American game universally under
stood. Taken altogether the season
just finished has marked an epoch in
baseball and furnished probably the
most interesting chapters in the long
and varied records Of events on the
diamond.

lean and Federal leagues. there were

sional basel all clubs in operation in

LOGAN GIRL
BREAKS arm

Miss Leonore Ballantyne fell from
a horse on the road between Logan
and Hyrum Sunday and broke her
arm in two places. 1t seems that the
horse which Miss Ballantyne was rid
ing was sick and began to stumble.
She feared that the animal was going
to fall and tried to dismount. In get
ting off, she got her foot caught III
the stirrup and fell to the ground,
breaking her arm.
Mss Ballantyne is the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Richa d Ballantyne or
the Second ward. She was on her
way to Hyrum for horseback ride
with some friends when the accident
happened. No serious complications
are looked for and 1t is thought that
she will be able to use her arm as
well as ever after two or three weeks.
