A service of unusual attraction to

to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock.
The occasion will be the burning of

of the fine and commodious Sunday
school chapel, which was construct
ed a little more than two years ago
at a cost of practically $30,000. The
devotion and loyalty of the congre
gation are amply manifested in the
fact that the last indebtedness was
canceled on the first of this month.
This splendid achievement will be
properly celebrated to-morrow morn
ing, when addresses will be deliv
ered by E. A. Heffelfinger, J. H.
Gingrich, W. M. Hoerner and Dr.

FIRST FRENCH WAR CROSS
WMS WON BY A C. E. MEMBER
The first French war cross given to
an American soldier for bravery in
the field was won by a Christian En
deavor boy, Robert C. Patterson, of
Huntington, Ind. Mr. Patterson was
a lieutenant at the time the cross
was- awarded to him, but later was
made a captain. Daniel A. Poling, as
sociate president of the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor, who has
returned from a three months' visit
to England and France, brought this
war cross with him. Mr. Poling states
that the repqj-ts of drunkenness in
the American Army in France are
utterly, false. Prohibition is the rule
and it Is enforced. The morals of the
men are safeguarded infinitely better
than the morals of civilians at home.
Mr. Poling was "gassed" during an
attack and was under fire while try
ing to bring in a wounded man from
No Mail's Land.

people. These people who go to the
parks are not irreligious. The large
percentage of them arc church peo

a building They want the open air.
I believe they would rather worship
than just loaf. The officials of Mar
