ADDRESS Xe~.ro D-~-r IT, a,di-
ence at the ID presbyterian church, on Sun
day evening, was not so large as we expected
to see nor as large as the address of the Rev.
Mr., Caldwell deserved. The subject of the
address was well chosen and the points dis
cussed were among the most important which
could be presented, and were happily Illus
trated by forcible and unanswerable argu-
ment, or that other and most powerful OF all
weapons-ridicule. To one not accustomed
to listen to Mr. Caldwell it is not easy to I'M
derstand all he says, while his peculiar man
ner and gestures sometimes attract the MIND
from the subject under discussion. But bis
great learning, and his power as speaker, none
can deny, and we regret that all the young
people of Rock Island were not present to lls'
ten to bis very able and Interesting address.
= It's also a subject of general regret that
VIC have, in Rock Island, no public literary
association to attract the attention OF the
young, and stimulate them to improve their
time in gaining some solid and useful lnfor-
nation or acquiring some art or accom- pllsh
ment which will fit them for useful and hon
CRADLE members of society. If those who
have the pecuniary means to found such an
association and furnish suitable rooms ana
tho nucleus of good library would aggre-
co,e heir funds and do it they would con-
fer las, ing blessing on Rock Island society.
The rooms 'hould be ample, well furnished
oro oonvon;sn, for reading and study, and
ano,bar for corve rsation and public meetings
Of the association These with good library,
the rooms a.tractively decorated With works
of art, such as painting g and statuary, and
we'll hrh,ed and warmed, would furnish a
Mace of public resort which would lead the
, vuug 10 higher and nobler OF ecss Ihan the
frivoIities and designations which now prevail.
Such a thing would cost money, bu,t not more
than is now foolishly spent upon OBJ ects Ut
terlg worthless and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1t Is
hardly necessary to say that it would remove
ahe stigma alluded to by Mr.. Caldwell tthst
he had heard that Rock Island people were
not well ready and add dignity, honor and
grace to the society of the city.
Will the men who have money, confer this
LASTING blessing on Rock Island, and thus
earn the or. ssitude of the present generation
and of those :, tho are to succeed them?
