Rev. r. r. johnson favored the set pro-
gramme, and gave his reasons for such
conclusions.
Rev. W. Waller thought that the advan-
tages and disadvantages Of both systems
should be pointed out. He did not believe
that scholars were overtaxed attending
both Sabbath School and Church. They
did not complain on account of the hours
of study in the day schools, and they Ger
tainly had no reason to complain of the
study attached to the Sunday School. He
thought set programme might be used to
advantage in one school and fail in anQth-
err
Mr.. E. w. Spencer favored the set pro-
gramme, and gave reasons from his own
experience as teacher why such regular
order proved more efficient and advanta-
gous to the scholars.
Mr. Sleight explained that he favored
the printed programme Of exercises but
thought they should be changed every
quarter.
Rev. B. T. Patterson criticized the sci
programme of the convention, as he
thought too many members had been as
signed to duties that should have fallen to
the lot of the lay members.
Mr.. Spencer. the secretary, requested
the delegates in attendance to return the
reports of their respective schools during
the afternoon, so that he could furnish his
report to the state secretary as soon as
possible.
On motion, FL. L. Mitchell and f. Nj

TUESDAY MORNING.

This morning q sunrise prayer meeting
was held at the First NJ E. Church. Ii
was conducted by E. W. Spencer, and was
| well attended.
| At a. m. the regular morning session
of the convention began with devotional
exercises by Rev ]. S. McCord
The first topic 1.-The mission of the Sab
bath school, defined was opened by Rev
w. Waller of Moline.
| The Rev. T. r. Johnson followed OF
the subject 1.-The Sabbath school,"
DIR. J. w. Stewart Of this city fol
lowed on the subject "How should the ex
| ercises of of the Sunday school be conduct
ed" He spoke of the difficulty of answer
| ing the question, but concluded by recon-
mending printed order of exercise, because
it saves time; it helps to give spirit OF
reverence; it helps TO secure the attention
of the scholars; it improves the order OF
school; it gives variety; it affords means
of teaching an important truth to the schol
ars.
Rev. J. c. Holiday made brief adj
dress on 1.-The management of the Sunday
schools-its teachers and how to increase
their efficiency"
He spoke of the difficulty of procuring
competent and earnest teachers. He de-
fined the qualifications of good and sue
cessful teacher as one with an affectionate
disposition, and intellectual gifts He
also considered enthusiasm as O necessary
feature of any successful instruction. He
also thought that cross-questioning the
scholars as being the best means of impart-
ing information about the lesson, and of
presenting its central features and making
them intelligent to the average scholar.
The third division How to secure their
faithfulness" was discussed by the Rev. M.
A, Williams of Moline. He spoke of the
patient influence of good example, and
concluded by logical deduction that
scholars would become faithful in their
duties to the Sabbath school by emulating
the example of their teachers and elders.
Then followed brief criticisms on the
topics previously presented.
Mr.. A. Sinnett spoke of the difficulty of
using set order of exercises on account
of the brief time allowed to Sunday school
work.
Mr.. FL. o. Sleight thought there was
too little variety to the usual Sunday
school exercises. He did not think it
was pleasant to contemplate the fact that
he had to sing old Hundred" every Sum
day for the next year. He thought that
more sense should be placed on the lesson,
and not SO much on the opening exercises
of the school. He concluded by stating
that every school should adopt their own
plan. and thought that common sense,

PEST HOUSE.

The question of erecting Pest House to
be used Jointly by Moline and Rock Island
is receivingsprompt attention, which its
merits demand At the meeting of the
Moline council last Saturday night, the fol.
lowing resolution was offered and adopted

Aldermen, namely Messrs. Knox, Hill and
Peal, together with DR.. Piper, President OF
the Board of Health, be appointed to con

DROWNED.

Yesterday afternoon three little boys
ventured upon the ice in the pond at
Moline. The little fellows had passed
about half way over to the Island when
the ice gave way and they fell into the
water. Two of them were rescued by
Chas. Peal, but the third. Eric Bentson,
was drowned before assistance could
reach him. His body was recovered In
short time after the mishap. all efforts
to resuscitate him proved fatal His re
mains were conveyed to his fathers home
where Coroner Morris impanelled a jury.
The testimony was submitted and verdict
of accidental death was rendered.

VIM. Doyle was up before Justice Crop

when excited by liquor was not loving

wife on those occasions could not be de-
nominated as tender and true" 1t ap-
pears that he came home few days ago
and amused himself at his wites expense
and discomfort. She had him arrested

Father Of Diseases.

Constipation has been called the father
OF diseases, therefore it should not be re-
garded as arifling ailment. 1t is quite as
necessary to remove impure accumulations
from the bowels as it is to eat or sleep,
and no health can be expected where a
costiye habit of body prevails. Take a
half tablespoon of Simmons Liver Regu-
lator after each meal, the bowels win be
gently moved without gripping or nausea,
as naturally as if no medicine had been
taken. Regularity in taking the medicine
daily win soon effect q permanent cure.

MONDAY NIGHT.

The session last night was opened at
o'clock by the Rev Us. McCord, president
of the association.
The attendance included Rev. ]. B, T..
Patterson, Rev ]. A. Reynolds, Rev. j.
c. Halliday of this city, Rev. A. r. Har-
per- Port Byron, Rev, T. R. Johnson,
Edgington, and number of lay members
of the association.
The opening devotional exercises were
conducted by the Rev. j. b. T. Patterson
of the First Baptist church of this city.
The first discussion then took place on
the topic ''What can the Sunday schools
of Moline and Rock Island do to interest
the young men and. women of the lanes and
by ways i'll the study of the bible.
The first speaker was Rev. ]. A. Rey
nolds He deprecated the fact that the
present age presented so many temptations
to the average young man. while the gen
eral Indifference upon the sub
ject of religion rendered his
conversion more difficult, because
of the universal procrastinating proclivi-
ties. The speaker next spoke OF the pc
ent influence exerted by custom and exam
Pile, and illustrated this point by the. state
ment that every Sunday crowds of indif
ferent boys, could be seen upon the streets
These he denominated as being occupant Is
of the spiritual lanes and byways as men
toned in the topic. He then spoke Of
how they could be reclaimed, and thought
their only hope remained in improving and
enlarging the Sunday Schools. At the
conclusi on of Mr.. Reynolds remarks the
Methodist choir, under the leadership Of
E. w. Spencer, rendered vocal selection
in very creditable manner.
Rev. ]. S. McCord spoke next on the
same subject, and made one of his earnes
characteristic appeals for the study of the
bible and its practical teachings. At thu
conclusion of his remarks the choir render
ed a second selection after which the meet
| ing adjourned.
