of the World.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, oct.20.-The Rev.
Obadiah Bates, q hard-sheii Baptist
preacher, who is pastor OF four country
churches in Shelby county, has fright
ened many members Of his congregation
by circulating among them the following
circular:
"Prepare, all We, for the end is at hand.
I have read it in the stars, and angels
have come tome in my dreams and told
me the glad tidiugs. The world will
come to an end on Monday, November
5, in the year of our Lord, 1888. Pre-.
pare, all OF ye, for that great day. God
has hastened the day because OF the
wicked men called politicians. They are
all ialsitiers and blasphemers, and will
be burned in lakes OF liquid fire because
they fear not God and are given to works
of iniQuity. Rivers of boiling water
will burn tho Prohibitionists, and sea
of fire and birthstone will open and
swallow all Democrats and Republicans.
Prepare, all Of ye, and remember the
day is at hand.

On Saturday afternoon the little folks
in the vicinity of the Beuser property on
Second avenue and Tenth street, gave
novel entertainment for the benefit of st
Luke's hospital. The affair." which wa
wholly original with the little people
took place in the barn on the Bense
premises, which, with their own hands
the entertainers prepared and decorated
for the purpose. The exercises, which
were given in the presence OF about one
hundred older people, consisted Of recita,
tons, music and essays, and so well rem
dered were the exercises that Mrs Morris
Rosentield invited the little troupe over
to her house and gave them compli~

was better fitted for this work than the
churches. 1t met the young men hand
to hand and heart to heart. There were
as good facilities for meeting the needs oil
young men here as anywhere. S25, 900,
the amount asked for a building, was
only half, at a low estimate, of what it
cost to run the saloons for one year.
There was the wealth and power to put
up a magnificent building if there was the
will. Thinking persons wouldn't ask
why they wanted building here. They
could not be expected TO offset all the
dangers surrounding young men by a
little suite of rooms, such as they now
had. although they were doing grand
work there. Every cent utinto builds
ing in Rock Island was treasure. The
great curse of our age and of our city
was mammon worship. If our people
were doing their duty by their young
men the Y M, c. A. would have the
finest building in town. The devil did
not hesitate to make things attractive for
the young men and the association should
have building just as convenient and
attractive as money could make it to
offset the evils of the other side Mr..
Guthrie here made an earnest appeal to
business men to encourage and aid the
association in its plan to secure home.
If the young men 60 down, our institu,
tons and our country go down. In
closing, Mr. Guthrie rendered the start |

much adulteration of character as in the |
present.
