ON OUR DUTY TO THE CHURCH.
About hundred persons assembled in the Stanton
street Baptist church yesterday morning The sparse
attendance was quite apparent as the seats in the
church were not onetenth occupied The sermon
preached by the Rev. William Hayne Leave, pas
tor of the church, young gentleman Of fine personal
appearance and considerable grace of delivery After
reading the ninth chapter of the First Epste of St.
Paul TO the Corinthians, the congregation Joined in
singing parts Of two hymns, after which the Rev. Mr.
Leavell began his He prefaced his discourse
with graphic description OF battle, with all its
attendant horrors The battle he symbolzed a con-
test between sin and Satan ON the one side
and Christ and religion the other To
whom should the honor of victory beongH That
depended upon the speaker and his hearers On
the of great struggle should frsake sacred
Captain because difficulties and dangers in the
way The reverend gentleman then branched of into
lengthy discussion to the necessity which existed
for generosity and muni1cence the part OF Chris
tans in support Of their Church. In fact nearly the
entire sermon was devoted to q consideration of
this topic At time, he said in the history of the
Baptist Church 1t was threatened with dissolution and
death There danger Of its passing into the hands
OF strangers, unacquanted with old landmarks Noble
men then came TO the front and insisted that long
as they had tabernacle church the faith should
die. Were there not noble men who would now come
TO the front and say, that as long they had dollar
the nag OF the old stanton Street church
should be furled God required
all who had brains heart money to devote each to
the of evangelizaton to assist the proclamation
of the religion of Christ Dean Swift invited

was crowded, and he gave out his text as folows-He
that gveth to the poor lendeth to the Lordn After
speaking those words he paused for while and again
repeated them with the addition-f you satisfied
with the security down with the dust" The result of
this appeal was an immense amount subscribed that
day to the Of religion
Other anecdotes related by the reverend gentle

among that great majority who were
walking TO perdton through their own folly and neg
lect He said those who were not OF the elect few
who called and chosen could be divided into two
classes First there those who had been invited
by God who had been showered with His grace, and TO
whom He had given light TO guide them from the wrong
paths, but who TO crafty an evil passion, 70 serve
their sefnterests in some way have turned deai ear
TO the voice OF God and wuly shutting their eyes 10
the light of His TRUTH deliberately took the path that
surely sooner or later, led to
PERDITION,
who consoed themselves with the belief, ms they went
their ways from day TO day, that a time would come
when they would turn back to the right road; who
said TO themselves that when death would draw near
they would repent of their folly and be reconced to
their offended Maker. What insult TO Gods mercy
conduct like this And how often did 1t happen
that before those guilty OF 1t least expected His coming
and while in the very midst Of their SINS the King
came, and, finding them with no wedding garment on
that is their souls blackened by them into the
outer darkness forever or this class too were those
who they had started out the wrong path, had
not the courage TO struggle manuly against their evil
inclinatons, and who sacrificed their eternity finally by
clingng to their worldly interest, hoping to them
selves to morrow but cut off before the morrow
even came. The second class were those who came
into the church with the crowd, but forgot to put on
wedding garment-the garment of purity, OF sanctfy
ing grace who neglected. If they had snned, to have
their sins washed away These two classes would, he
said, be probably subjected TO greater torments than
those who went astray and died in their SINS but who
had not had as much light and grace to guide them.

The Butler Ring Defeated.

On no question before the city council,
in which Butler & Co. have attempted to
override the Mayor. have they ever Oh
tanned 'two-thirds of all the members of
the city council authorized by law to be
elected" Even with Wollenhaupt's vote
they have never secured two thirds of all
the members of the city council authorized
by Lew to be elected" And therefore
they failed to disapprove of any removal
he has made. Bill Atkinson has eagerly
and spitefully voted with them on all &C.
casions, but his vote only makes their
number six. Bill has shown virulence
and malignity towards the Mayor which is
very different from the smooth professions
he made when soliciting Democratic votes,
before his election, He was then full of
professions of friendship for Mayor Daven-
port and of a promise to act fairly and im-
partially. As it has turned out we think
Mr.. Fleming would have been preferable,
and fairer and more unprecedented man.
But the last two meetings of the Butler
ring show that Wollenhaupt has left
them, thus leaving them with only SIX
votes, and, according Ito their own theory,
they have failed to dlsapprove of the remov
al of German and Ankrum. There can,
therefore, be no pretense, even on their part
but what German and Ankrum are re-
moved. And as the Mayors act was not
disapproved, even by their own theory, and
as Ankrum and German were out, why
should not Atkinson have voted to confirm
Murrin and Littig? No reason was Oh
could be assigned why they are not suit
able men, unless it is because they are
| Democrats,-and that was probably The
reason Bill Atkinson voted against them
The Democrats in the Fourth ward, who
elected Bill, now know the value to b.
placed upon his promises made before
election. Had he voted for Murrin ant
Littig they would have then been confirm
ed by the casting vote of the Mayor. W.
trust that the Mayor will reappoint them
unless some good reason (aside from poll
tics) can be given why they are not suit
able men for the position.
Alderman Butler, at the Wednesda
evening meeting, stated that the matter 0
Overriding the Mayor ought to be attend
ed toi so that it could be ready for tn
next January term of court" 1t has bee
attended to. and in no case has he bee
able, even with Atkinson and Wolleu
haupt, to muster eight votes against tn
Mayor. And as eight votes are require
in order to make up ''two-t thirds of all tn

to be elected" Butler & Co. have not, i

any removal the mayor has made. LIE

Death of Mrs, Albert Champion.

In The DAILY ARGUS of Wednesday, it
was announced that Mr., A. Champion, of
Sunnyhill Nursery, in Henry county, three
miles cast of Coal Valley, had been sum-
moned to the bed side of his wife, at Sa
lem, Ohio, whittier she had gone in the
hope that rest, among her relatives, a
change of air, scenery, ETC.. would benefit
her failing health. We feared when we
saw her, on her way east, that she was
never to return,-and it is now our sad
duty to announce her death, the news of
which was received in this city. by telegraph,
on Thursday. 1t is expected that her re.
mains will arrive tomorrow Saturday
morning, for interment in Oakdale Gene

Some years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Champion
were residents of Davenport. in business
there. Ten years or more ago he pur.
chased land in Western township. between
Coal Valley and Orion, adjoining the land
of his father and brothers, where he has
made himself fine farm and beautiful
home, in which he was greatly aided and
assisted by the good judgment of his la
meuted wife. He is now left with -four
bereaved children, Charles, aged about
II or Is, who is a student at the Iowa
State University, at Iowa City; George
aged about Is, who was his with his moth
er when she died. and two charming lit
tie girls, Mabel and BERTHE, who are al
home. Mr., Champion reached Salem il
time to be with and console his wife in hel
dying moments, and will return with hel
remains. We offer him such poor conso
lation as words can give. Having Otter
enjoyed the comforts of their hospitabl'
