Church Buildinu,

Church Building,
The early places of worship wer'
| changeable. While no doubt some
of the earlier meetings were held IL
the homes and school houses the ser
vices were held for awhile in the Bap
fist church that stood in the north
part of town, but was moved away
in 1856. From the historical record
! | copy the following:
Rev j. w. Fraker was reappoint'
ed Sent. Z, 1856. The Baptist church
at Indianapolis, in which we had wor'
SHIPPED for some years, was removed
in the spring, leaving us without a
place to Worship in. The school
! board offered us the use of the public
sCaool building, in which we continued
our services to the close of the year.
The Sth of April, 1887, webegan sole
| iting subscriptions to build a new
church at indianapolis. On the LIST OF
, June the board of trustees met ana
finding subscription of about $500
obtained, determined to build. The
work moved nicely and in few
weeks a neat little church 24XS6 was
enclosed and stands about three
fourths completed at the close of the
conference year. Nearly everybody
in the community took a hearty inter
est in the work, number of persons
came and worked gractously on the
church for several days, adding much
to the progress of the work"
The Rev. J. S. Carondish was sent
to the charge in September, 1887, the
church was completed and dedicated
i'm December by Rev. |. o. kemble,
who had been pastor in 1883 and
whose presence we enjoy today. The
final payments for the building were
made in 1889, but the total cost is not
given. Since then various improve
ments have been made, among which
was the general Improvement under
the direction of Pastor McBlain, in
Guiding painting, papering, etc, and
the putting in of the lighting system
and other items under the direction OF
Present Improvement.
The beginning of the present inn
provement began really when the
present pastor. H. c. Millice, made
his first trip to indianapolis, Sept rs,
1919. Finding a couple of brethren
in the church he said to. them, I'll
give 81 toward getting this church
painted From this the work began
to be talked about, and planned for,
and as a result of the united actions
we are permitted to enjoy the church
in its new surroundings, including
painting, papering. re-arranging OF
lights. carpets, curtains, jacket for
stove. hitch racks, new coal house

His Defeat-To Continue Active
in Iowa Politics.

Washington, d. c., June 15.-Rep-
resentative Kirkpatrick talked about
his recent defeat in the Sixth dis
trict. He attributes it to disgrunted
officeseekers.
"A hundred disgrunted officeseek'
ers," said he, were able to beat me,
despite the fact that was able In

trict heavily republican,
Mr.. Kirkpatrick takes his defeat
philosophically and says he is far
from being politically dead. He eX
poets to have much to say in the Six

The fact that Fred White turned
against Mr.. Kirkpatrick is OF the
more interest because Mr.. White was
an applicant for the postofiice at Sig
Quincy. Within few days Mr.. Kirk

office. 1t need hardly be said Mr.

Rehabilitation of The Indianapolis

,SIYTY-FYRS7 ANNIVERSARY.

Sunday, June Z, 1914, will be remem
bered as a red letter day in the his
tory of the Methodist EpiscOpa
church at indianapolis, it being the
elimination of the Home Coming

of beautifying the church began, in
GLIDING as it did painting papering
new carpet hitch racks, coal house
and closet, and minor improvements
which so changed the general appear
ance that the old church was heartily
recognizable. During the home-cOm'

Rev J. c. KendriCk, pastor in 1863
and Rev. ]. o. Kemble, pastor in 1873

Our Young Preacher.
That there has been great amount
of good accomplished by this class in
witnessing the conversion OF many
souls, some of whom were back to
enjoy the home coming, and in its
general influence in the community
there can be no doubt but We would
not be unmindful of the fact that at
least one of our number has gone out
to preach Christ to lost world.
The name OF William Zabilka will
ever bring TO mind the blessed trust
that God called him into the ministry
from this class. He was converted
under the ministry of Rev. G. p.
Adams. Soon after he began to
manifest his graces and gifts and the
call of the church came to him to Ell
ter the ministry, he united with the
Iowa conference of the Methodist Epis-
copaI church, at Fairfield, in 1911, and
was received into full connection al
| Oskaloosa in 1913. He is now sup,
