Picnic Prayer Meeting
OF Prssbyierians Last
Evening Is Big Success

If the hoaryheaded fathers az the
Presbyterian church could have had A
seat On the side-lines at Brush College
last night they would have expressed
neither eonStenation nor condemnation
for they would have been ;co much
as'oanded at the eombf- alton Of relg.
ion and hilarity to express ANYTHING.
II was prayer meeting All right
enough, and it was well attended. for
there were more than a hundred Der.
sons seated about the tables for the
picnic supper. There was no sermon bv
the preacher and no experiences y
from the congregation, but the PRAYERS
were Just as fervid and effective amid
the sylvan surroundings and under the
sky as they would have been in the
class room, and the "Forest Hymn'i
as reeited by Pastor Anderson was
quite as suggestive as a discussion Of
doetrinal theme. There were popular
hymns, memory passages from the
scriptures, bits Of poetry and spontane.
Gus remarks, and a solo by Miss Ada
Miller-all of which went to make up
prayer.meeting program as interesting
as It was unique. And the bob white
aud song sparrow broke in to fill up
the intervals. Following the simple
supper which was rounded out with
ice cream and cake, there was a wairl
Of games on the school ground, in which
old age and dignity were chucked into
the back ground and the baldheaded.
bespeetaeled "pillar" of the church
scrambled after the high school gradu-
ate in "drop the handkerchief. If
there was anybody there who didn I
enjoy himself it must have been a man
with neglected eorns or an ingrowing
conscience. A vote Of thanks is due TO
Pastor Anderson as the originator of
the idea Of the picnic prayer meeting.

JURYS VERDICT
IS GUILTY FOR
METTLER CASE
Second Time ChirOpractOr Has Lost
Decision in Test and An
Appeal May Be Taken.

H. n. Mettler was found guilty
by the jury in circuit court this
afternoon. Mettler, chiropractor
by profession, was tried for viola
tion of the state law requiring a
license for everyone engaged in the
treatment of the ailments of man
kind, either with or without the use
of medicine.
The case went to the jury at IL
o'clock after evidence and argu-
ments consuming a day and a half
had been heard. The verdict was
reached shortly after 2 o'clock.
This is the second time Mettler
has been found guilty of the same
charge. In the first instance a fine
was assessed against him. The fine
was paid after many threats of an
appeal had been made. 1t is con-
sidered likely that he will take an
appeal this time to a higher court
through his attorneys. Harry Nc
Caskrin and Thomas Morris.
Circuit court was crowded to ca
pacity yesterday and today with
members and friends of the chiro-
practic profession. The case was
regarded in the nature of a test of
the law demanding license as to
whether it can rightly be construed
to include "chiros" in it's provis-
ions. The defense refrained in Its
arguments from the use of the
word treatment" instead refer
ring to adjustment"
Claim Discrimination.
In concluding arguments, the
defense sought to impress upon the
jury that the chiropractic profess
sion is being Disseminated against
in Illinois by the medical men.
1t is said that a similar case was
heard recently in Bloomington and
the verdict of the jury was not
guilty.
