government set aside a large building
as q refuge and school for blind SOL
diers in which they could be trained in
some Of the industries open to them
despite their condition. The drst
teacher was himself q blind man thor
oughly familiar with the Braille sys-
tenn OF reading and writing and skilled
In a number Of handicrafts. Before
the shops were in readiness for work
work at brush-making.
Within a few hours the psychological
atmosphere of the building seemed
changed. The men lost their despond-
ency when confronted with the posi-
bility of being useful. Now over 800
blind men are working tndustriously
each day at such occupations as basket
making. brush and broom making,
carpentry. In addition, some type
writer's, specially designed for the use
of the blind have been secured, which
will add another possibility. A regu-
Is now in effect.
The men are increasing in skill and
the products of their labor will soon
render them self-supporting. Most of
them are spending their leisure in
mastering the Braille system Of read
ing, SO that this pleasure will be
within their reach. An account Of this
work for the blind soldiers in France
was given at the International Con-
gress for the Blind held in San Fran.

contributions have been sent from

DR.. |. NJ. EDWARDS IN
SERMON OF NEW YEAR
Says Some Temperance AdVO-
Gates Would Rather Not See
Prohibition Come Unless
Through Own Organization.

Rev. DR.. Loren NJ. Edwards, pastor
Of the Methodist Memorial church,
preached to a large congregation Sun
day morning on THE Curse Of
Meroz". This was the opening ser
vice for the new conference year and
the preacher took occasion to refer
to his reappOintment for another
year TO the local church, stating
that he was in perfect good humOr
over his appointment and in genuine
enthusiasm over the prospects of the
coming year. THE curse of MerOz."
said the speaker, lis the curse upon
inactivity, the curse upon failure in
the hour of peril and OF doing when
mighty things are to Re done. 1t is
the curse upon the sitter, the watch
er, the gutter. the negative position
when the positive position is demand
ed. The curse upon the soldier who
is not in the fight, the player who is
not in the game. the Christian who
is not in the fray. This curse of
Meroz rests upon some present day
Christians because they are not will
ing to help if they cannot lead. oh,
how puerile the conduct and how SEN
sitive the feelings and how vain glor-
ious the pride and how difficult the
adjustments when there are so many
who will lead or do nothing or when
leadership defeats its own service by
jealousy of others There are those,
for example, who are exceedingly
Jealous for temperance. They will
pray for prohibition, work for l.. give
for it and do all in their power TO
accomplish it-that is If it comes the
way they want it, through the means
they advocate and by the organiza-
ton they are leading. 1 hold the
firm conviction after an observation
covering a number of years, that not
a few temperance advocates would
10 see it come through some other
organization than their own and some
other leaders than themselves
The speaker pointed out that the
same thing was true of benevolence
leaders some times; some did not have
a vision Of the horizon of the king
dam but merely Of their little seq
ment of il, Indifferent or antagOnistiC
to all others The kingdom of God
needs every sort of ability, every va
riety of talent. every degree of genius
1t needs leaders and it needs follow
ers. it needs men and women with
gifts enough TO be led and with grace
enough TO be led.
Speaking of the tragedy of unused
opportunity the speaker referred to
the curse upon those who are blessed
with talents and do not use them,
who have the chance to strike n
mighty blow for God whose weapon
bangles at their side,
In conclusion Or. Edwards made a
powerful appeal for renewed activity
in the work OF the church in all its
branches.

Gary bOWlerS while in MiShawaka
spent their time while not bowling
pulling for the seventh Indiana state
bowling tournament for Gary in 1916.
They Gary men are of the opinion
that their cry should get the tourna-
ment next year, even though they
the interest manifested in northern
Indiana bowling and because the
largest Indiana state tournament was
held in their city. 1t is their opinion
that larger tournaments can be held
in the northern section of the state
than in the southern or central sec
tons as more cities are interested in
bowling.

strong bid, and arriving early, and
with plenty of boosting has received
