Elder j. j. Marietta of Dayton gave
very helpful discourse in the after.
noon on God Supplying All Our
Needs His remarks were helpful
and much good advice was given.
DR.. H. NJ. Jump of Toledo was the
speaker last night. The speaker
dwelt upon the sure promises of
God, showing that not one promise
has failed. The history of rebellion,
and its dreadful results in Israel, was
briefly reviewed.
Conditions existing then were com.
pared with conditions today and
were found to be similar. The Psalm.
ist~said: Let thy eyes look right on"
and ponder the path of thy feet"
The doctor said that the Christian
should be sure that his way is estab-
}ished. Enter ye in at the straight
gate. for wide is the gate and broad
is the way that leadeth to destruc.
ton, and many there be which go IN
thereat. Because straight is the gate
and narrow is the way which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that find
it,"
All the commandments of God were
said to be sure and stand fast forev-
er and in illustrating the extreme
danger of breaking even one, the
speaker quoted James 2:12: For
whosoever shall keep the whole law
and yet offend in one point, he is
guilty of ALL
Incidents from the lives of Christ
and Paul were related, showing the
power of a consistent life, and that
Christ has left us an example, and
that we should follow in His steps.

Sale Of Munitions Of War.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE reply of
the United States to the Austro- Hun
garian note protesting against the
sale of arms and ammunition in large
quantities to the allies by American
manufacturers has been forwarded to
Vienna. The contention of the Austro-
Hungarian government that the Amer
ican trade in munitions is contrary 10
the spirit o. neutrality is rejected by
the United States, and the rights of
Americans in this particular are again
asserted in way that is likely to end
all protests OF this character ON the
Part of the Teutonic allies.
The communication has been draft
ed by the state department not alone
.or it's effect in Austria and Germany.
1t has been written also with view
to home consumption. The president
has seized upon the reply to the Aus
Hungarian note as a medium for
discouraging the movement in the
United States in favor of an embargo
upon war materials.
The note to Austria reiterates the
stand taken by the state department
in its communication to the German
ambassador, holding that to place an
embargo on trade in arms at the pres
ent time for the purpose Of unequally
affecting the relations o. the United
States with the nations at war, would
be a direct violation of the neutrality
of tiis government.

Newark Advocate.)


Addison l.. Rawlings, former piano
dealer, whose business was put into
the hands of receivers two months
ago, and who has been under bond in
the sum of $4,000 for his appearance
before the grand jury in September to
answer to charges of forging piano
notes, was re-arrested Thursday even
ing on warrants issued by Magistrate
Fletcher S. Scott charging forgery in
more than 100 separate cases.
The affidavits were filed by repre-
sentatives of the Cincinnati Securities
Co., Cincinnati firm, and each Of
them charges forgery, it being alleged
that 100 notes, copies Of which were
contained in the affidavits, were all
forged. The amounts named in the
notes range from $275 to $525, most
o. them being for $3.50 and $425. The
amounts will average $400 each and
the affidavits represent transactions
amounting to $4,000, it is alleged.
Following Rawlings arrest at his
home in West Church street, he was
taken before Magistrate Scott and
given an opportunity to arrange bond
in the sum of 100000 for his appear
ance Friday morning for a prelimi-
nary hearing. Failing to furnish bond
in that amount, which was $1,000 on

(Reported by Elder J. F. olmstead.)

The first meeting of the fifty-third
conference was called Friday morn

Church of Springfield" was received
into the conference. It was shown
from Elder Slades report that 200
persons had been received into church
membership since last January and
that others would soon be admitted,
as the result of the tent efforts.
Offerings to foreign missions have
increased each year. In 1911 $685.
IS were received to apply on this
fund, and in 1914 $10,0S2.95 was the
amount given to advance evangelical
work in foreign fields.
The tthe Tor tenth of the income)
has been more during the past six
months than in any like period in the
past.
Elder L. r. Palmer, manager of the
gave a very fascinating history of the
publishing work for the past year.
A "War Extra" was put out soon after
the European war started. Eighty
thousand copies were orderd the first
day and $4,000 day for the following
thirty days. Mr. Palmer said that so
much mail was sent that a special
mail car was placed at their disposal
each day until the rush was over.
Three shifts of eight hours a day
kept the publishing house busy filling
the orders.

London, Aug. 14.-Lord Robert Ce-

The allies must BY all lawful

At the same time Lord Cecil studi.

ference regarding the bond followed
and Justice Scott finally reduced the
amount to $500 in each case, making

ed in the years 1912, 1912 and 1914.

similar. One Of these affidavits charg-
ed that the dates of bona fide notes
had been altered and sold again. In
the first instance the affidavits were
filed by representative of the Gin
cinnati Discount Co. Thursdays 100
affidavits were filed by representa-
tive of the Cincinnati Securities Co.
Attorney Koons indicated that he
thought the bond was excessive but
Magistrate Scott held that as each
offense was a separate one, $500 was
not excessive, in his opinion. on a
charge of forgery. He refused to re-
duce the amount.
A transcript of one of the cases was
filed Immediately with the clerk of
courts and Messrs. Koons and Fulton
took the question of bond before
Judge Jewell. The transcript indi-
Gated that the bond required in the
single case was $500. Judge Jewell
changed the amount of bond required
to $4,000 and instructed the clerk
of courts to release Rawlings on his
own recognizance on the other affi-
davits.
Judge Jewell indicated that here
after in any future affidavits filed in
which Rawlings is bound over to COM
mon pleas court. the defendant will
be released on his own recognizance.
Judge Jewell stated that the policy of
the law was not to require bond in
an excessive amount, that would re-
suit in keeping a defendant in jail,
which would be persecution, but only
in an amount sufficient to insure his
appearance for trial.
Rawlings is now under a total bond
of $4,000. Six thousand of this
amount represents the bond required
in Mayor Bigbees court in former
cases.
An effort was being made Friday
afternoon to secure bail and in the
meantime, Mr.. Rawlings was return
ed to the county Jail.
