FORMER PASTOR Is
INJURED IN CHICAGO

The friends of Rev. Augustus
Schlechte. 26O6 w. Alton pl, Chicago.
who several years was pastor of st.
Peters German Luthern church of
Mishawaka, learned Monday that he
lies in the Norwegian Tabitha hospital
in a critical condition as a result of
serious injuries received Sunday. Rev.
Schlechte was run down by his own
machine at California and Division
SITS, while cranking his car. 1t is
thought that he had forgotten to
throw the clutch and when the engine
started the machine jumped forward,
running over him. A short distance
from the accident two autoists noticed
the machine, minus a driver and
jumped into the car and stopped it
by driving into telephone pole
Rev. Schlechte was connected with
the local church from 1893 to 1901
leaving Mishawaka to take charge Of
the Lutheran missions in Chicago
where he has since been. He has
many times been "a visitor in Mish-
awake and was planning TO come TO
the city within thesneXt few weeks.

made by local and state chemists. An
other test Of the water Will be made
after the city mains have been filled.

DIVINE NECESSITY FOR
CULTIVATION OF TRUTH

The Rev. f. z. Shoufler, who has
just recently taken charge of the pas
torate OF the First Baptist church
preached an excellent sermon to a
crowded congregation Sunday morn
ing. In the course of his remarks the
preacher emphasized the divine neces-
sity for the cultivation of truth 1t
should never be feared, for the quail
ties OF life influenced by 1t will ever
endure. Jesus Christ was the only
perfect example of truth and every
person who is like Him in character,
must walk in the light as He is in the
light.
What good is there in knowing
and not doing? To him that knoweth
to do good and dOeth it not to him it
is sin. Doing truth is part of hfe's
program. Often we are under more
obligations to strangers than we are
toward the brethren. The man of At
RIGA or China comes in for his part.
Our first impressions are the most
lasting. The stranger within our gates
may do us much good or great harm
through the kingd Of an impression he
has received of our work. The church
that looks after the stranger viii
bring to itself lasting good. The
cburchs prosperity and each mem
ber's prosperity in spiritual things
comes as a result of this kind of So
cial and missionary activity. Charity
for others, love, patience, tolerance
and submission TO higher authority
are also among the virtues OF soul
prosperity"

MORE SUPPORT NEEDED
FOR BAND CONCERTS

An effort will be made the present
week to obtain more support for the
Ball Band band for its Saturday even
ing concerts at the four corners. While
some Of the merchants have been lib
eral in their subscriptions quite a
number have not as yet volunteered to
subscribe. It is felt that these sum-
mer concerts are most worthy of con-
sideration. They are the one big event
Of the week to many families through
out the city and are looked forward
10 with considerable pleasure. That
they are appreciated is evident from
the immense crowds which congregate
in the vicinity Of the bond stand Sat-
urday nights. Many think the city
administration should do something
towards the ~~niect and IL is probable
that a deputation Of merchants will
wait on the mayor the present week
and ask his good offices in the mat
ter.

ATHLETIC FIELD FOR
CITY AND HIGH SCHOOL
Matter Being Pushed by Prin-
CipaI D. w. HOrtOn-HaS the
Promise of Support of Bust
ness Men.

The agitation for an athletic field
for the use Of the city in general and
the high school in particular has been
given a decided impetus since the re-
marks made by DR.. Winfield Scott
Hall at the high school auditorium
Friday night. DR.. Hall in his address
urged the boys TO make a determined
effort to secure an athletic field,
stating that their real manhood de-
pended on proper exercise.
Two years ago ID. w. Horton, prin-
cipal Of the high school, interested
NJ. w. Mix in the proposition and the
latter gave il his hearty support, and
was, with Prin. Horton, responsible
for the drawing up of plans which in
cluded 44O-yard oval cinder path
for running. This was to enclose a
field which could be used as a baseball
diamond or gridirOn. The plans for
this were secured from the engineer
of Indiana university. These were
subsequently drawn up and the
ground staked off at Lincoln park on
Lincoln way w, which is situated just
west of the kamm q Schellinger
brewery. This was levelled and made
ready for the final touches under the
Herzog city administration, which
gave the scheme its hearty approval.
With the advent of the present ad-
ministration, however, the matter was
dropped, although the idea was still
strong in the minds of the promoters.
Speaking TO The News-Times Mon
day, Prin. Horton said that the mat
ter was now TO be pushed with all pos
sible haste, providing. Of course, that
il receives the endorsement of the
business men of the city. This en-
dOrsement he is now endeaVOring TO
secure Mr.. Horton said the fact that
the city had no athletic field, which
is a necessity for the physical devel-
Opment of the boy, was a decided
drawback TO Mishawaka. Interest in
athletics during the spring and fall is
practically dead. He drew attention
TO the boys having to practice running
for the Indiana track meet, on the
streets, where il was impossible to
keen a correct record Of their efforts.
Mr.. Horton has enthusiastically
entered into the matter and intends
pushing it to a successful finish. Mon
day he interviewed a number of the
leading citizens Of the town and re-
ceived promises of their heartiest sup
port in the matter.
