PAGE TWO' JUNIOR CHURCH INAUGURATED AT INDIANAPOLIS ate, LITHOPOLIS! DEAD MAN PUTS DEAD TOWN ON MAP! Members Are Between The Ages) Of 6 and 16—Preacher The Only Adult Present BEING MADE A SUCCESS Pandy the Tndianapol junior church; membership of which is limited to persons between | six and sixteen years’ old, with the! preacher the only adult present, is being successfully operated in this city. .The plan was inaugurated by the Rev. N. S. Sichterman of Grace Presbyterian church. According to Dr. Sichterman, there are sixty children ranging in age from six to sixteen years who aré members of the junior organization. They have theiy own room for ser- vices, which are of thirty minutes’ .. duration, and have their own officers. | The plan was put into ‘operation January and Dr, Sichterman is ‘so pleased with the results that he ex- pects to double the membership. Dr. Sichterman said the idea of forming a junior church developed from his experiences in church while a boy. “My people came from Holland and settled in a meihborhood of Holland- ers in a ‘small~Michigan’ town,” he} said. “The church I attended as,a hoy also used the Dutch. language and the sermons sometimes lasted two hours or more. — I will remember how tired and restless: I would get] , as the time dragged on, for thé ser- mon, while appealing to. adults, was not such as would appeal to the child. “It was this experience which gave Dirth to the junior church idea, and last January I started the organiza- tion. The: results have been gratify- ing. The children have their own board of elders,‘board of'deacons, and board of trustees and name — their own ushers. They also have their own choir, I am the only adult present at} the services. The services last only thirty minutes., which I believe is) sufficient, for it keeps the children in- terested every minute. The hymns and text of the sermons are such that will appeal to the child mind.” Dr. Sichterman seid he had started | the children into engage in three | minute talks and hoped eventually to have some of them take turns at! preaching. Large Increase | In Enrollment At The A. C. Fargo, April 15.— “An increase of nearly one-fifth over -last year in spring term enrollment, in spite of the non-enrollment of many vocation- al training men who are out on place- ment:-work during the term, was re- ported this week by A.. H. Parrott, registrar of the North Dakota Agri- cultural ,Cotlege. The largest’ increase this term ts shown in the college enrollment: which hag an even 100 more students than it Had in the spring of 1921, while the! model high school shows % gain of| 15. The industrial courses fell 33 be- low the 1921 enrollment, due to the changes made in the disabled veter- ans bureau policy, by which some of the disabled former service men -are out on placement work instead of at- tending classes during the spring term.

This feat’ has been accomplished through publication of a series of let- ters written by the late O. Henry short story writer, to Miss Mabel Wagnalls, daughter of the publisher. The collection is called “Letters to ‘Lithopolis.” Miss Wagnalls lives in the old ters written by the late O. Henry in Gramercy Park not far from Madi- ;son Square. But she takes her sum- mer vacations in Lithopolis, Ohio. “It's a real place,” she said today, “but don’t-look for it from any rail- road train window. It’ isn’t thege. “Lithopolis stands alone, a little distance from Columbus, maintaining an aloofness, an exclusiveness, that is unmatched by any other cluster of frame houses radiating around a one- block trading area of one-story shops. “There are 350 inhabitants in -Lith- opolis. Their 208 houses are kept in repair, but anew house is never added. People never move to Lith- opolis, but they can’t help being born ‘there. “There are more graves than hous- es and people.” In 1903, when O, Henry was still an unknown quantity, Miss Wagnalls wrote him’ a letter to find out whether he was related to a branch ot her family. She asked if he were man, woman or wraith. He answered —and the reply was forwarded to Miss Wagnalis at Lithopolis. This is the autobiography he sent: “Texas cowboy. Lazy. Thought writing stories might be easier than ‘busting’ bronchos. Came. to New York one year ago to earn bread, but- iter, jam, and possibly asparagus -that way.” The name Lithopolis appealed to O.

It is a limestone’ table, 230 feet from the ocean accessible at one one spot, at a break in the cliffs where steps have been cut. Mackay said that there were re- markably clear indications on the cliffs of successive water levels and that pumice, coral and other shells on this curiously raised platform showed that atleast six times it must have been at ow under sea level.
