Reasons For Accepting
Christ Told Bv Smkiss

What Shall Do with Jesus Which
is Called Christi" was the text of Rev.
H. ]. Sarkiss' address at the Second
Presbyterian church Friday night.
Our attitude toward Christ is the
most important in the world" said
Rev. Sarkiss. st involves our well
being both in this world and the world
to come. Christ is not an imaginary
being; he is not a myth. He is a liv-
ing Saviour who stands before us to
be judged by us as he was judged by
plate. The scenes of the gospel are
being restaged in the life of every
individual We either accept him or
reject him. We should accept Christ
on the following grounds and reasons:
First, because of the documentary
evidence of the New Testament The
courts the world over have affirmed
the validity and the authority of what
is known as the rule of ancient docu-
ments By this rule the New Tesla
ment is of unimpeachable value.
Second, because of the unbroken
testimony of the Christian church.
Third, because of the essential uni
formity Of the Christian experience.
Fourth, because of the influence of
Christ upon the history where the Cos
pei has been preached.
Fifth, because of the presence of
Christianity in literature, art and
science.
For these reasons, and because He
enables us to live the happiest, most
useful and Christ-like that we should
accept Christ as the captain of our
life's boat and let Him guide us in
the voyage of life's sea-"

OVER DEATH IN CITY
AND COUNTY IN 1921

The stork maintained decisive
lead over the grim reaper, there
having been 344 deaths and 472 births
during 1921 in Richmond. according
to the records of the city board of
health. The death rate was declared
to be somewhat lower than in the
past and the births have held their
own as compared with other years.
The deaths in Richmond proved to
be caused by many diseases. Nearly
every known disease aided the death
total
DR.. c. E. Duffin, secretary of the
city board of health, stated Saturday,
that it was his purpose to use his in
fluence in cooperating with the citi-
zens of Richmond in preventing the
spread of disease and that he hoped
for a lower death rate in 1922. Dr.
Duffin stated that he did not intend
to launch a rigid campaign and be toe
fanatic with the citizens, but that he
intended to create better conditions
especially in the alleys of Richmond
where debris collected and caused
disease. He has already met with
farmers who sell milk and also the
distributors and urged them to be
more cautious than ever in keeping VI
the good standard of milk.
The death rate for the county Il
much lower than the births. Foul
hundred and nineteen births occurred
in the county, excluding Richmond
and 299 deaths took place.

Whitewater lodge of Odd Fellows
received four candidates for the initia-
tory degree in the presence of an I'M
usually large audience of members
and visiting Odd Fellows from various
towns in Wayne county, at its regu-
lar meeting Friday night.
One of the interesting features Fri
day night was the presentation Of the
annual financial report of the lodge,
which was read by Secretary Law
renee A. Handley.
The total assets of the lodge exceed
S109,000, and the report showed there
is no Indebtedness whatever. Probably
such financial condition is not equalled
by any similar fraternal organization
in eastern Indiana
Next Friday night Whitewater lodge
will confer the first degree on a large
class and visiting members of the fra
ternity from many towns are expected
to be present

INFIRMARY INVENTORY
SHOWS INSTITUTION
IN GOOD CONDITION

The final inventory OF stock and
equipment on the county infirmary was
turned in by Frank Petro. suDerintend-
ent. at the meeting of county commits
sioners Saturday morning. Petro has
been superintendent of the farm for
the past eight years and has presented
his resignation, effective March l.
A total of S57,7657S has been turned
in TO the county by him during the past
eight years, according to records on
file at the court house. That the equip
ment and stock on the farm has in
creased in value during that time is
evidenced by the fact that the last in
ventory, taken the first of this month,
showed a valuation of S1S,438 for the
stock and equipment on the farm, as
contrasted with $3.50 in 1914.
This valuation includes all equip
ment on the farm except the buildings.
The superintendent It's charged with the
property and must account to the coun-
ty for it.
Money Raised by Hogs.

ed into the county during the past
eight years came from the sale of
hogs raised on the farm" said Mr..
Petro Saturday. II am turning over

considerable amount of cattle and
vegetables also used on the farm as

he said. In the past year, the infirm

Too Much Canning.
Ten thousand gallons of vegetables
were canned in the seven years since
the infirmary has been equipped with

"All the hogs on the place, both those

Hog raising is to be the occupation

ANTI-SAL00N LEAGUE
PREPARES FOR POLLS

THE statement that a repeal of the
Nolstead prohibition enforcement law
would make all original prohibition
states wet except four, is a grave mis-
take S. f. Nicholson said Saturday.
Mr. Nicholson, who is secretary of
the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, said:
Neither the eighteenth amendment
nor the Volstead law has changed the
status of any state prohibition enforce
ment code enacted prior to the adop-
ton of national prohibition. Nearly
half the states had adopted the one
half of one per cent standard prior to
1919, and every provision of any state
law remains intact, except in certain
sections of certain state laws. the
federal law takes precedence where
its provisions go further than the
state law provisions.
The Volstead law did not repeal
any state statute, and if il were itself
repealed every original state law
would remain in full force and effect.
OF course ii would be calamity from
the political standpoint to repeal or
weaken the Volstead act or the sup
Elemental law recently enacted, for
these are needed to enforce prohibit
ton in the federal courts in states
without state codes and to supplement
state codes where they already exist.
"Of course the liquor interests are
hoping to get a congress that will re-
peal the Volstead law and enact a
law permitting liquors with a high
per cent of alcohol But even there
they are reckoning wrongly, because
the 18th amendment forbids intoxi-
eating liquors for beverage purposes
and the supreme court would probably
declare any such law unconstitutional.
1.-THE Volstead law must be main
tanned. however. at all hazards, be-
cause il puts the amendment into OPP
Grafton by furnishing the enforcement
machinery.
"The campaign of the Anti-Saloon
League has been under way for many
weeks to retain a dry congress, and
will be carried on constructively until
the election in November. Every dis
trict in the country is under super
vision and we know now where the
fights will have to be made"
