Considering the severity of the
weather, the above report for the
month is quite satisfactory, and yet
we do not see, that there IS any reason
whv chitd, that is we'll and hearty,
should stay out of school on account
o. cold weather.
The school ROOMS are kept in a
good condition in every respect and
we are sure that in majority cf
cases. the children will be quite as
comfortable in school as in any other
place. This being true, we appeal to
parents to assist rs in keeping up the
splendid record of attendance by see
ing that the children are in schoo!
every day that they are able to attend.
Bundle them up and ssnd them to
school and we will DO everything we
can to see that they are properly
cared for while here. Regularity is
a very important factor in schoo!
work, and we must insist upon it IN
all grades and with ali classes.
Very Respectfully.

DEATH KNELL or HYpocR1rEs.
Taesa Weekly cal.

I1pekd Weehiy CdH.
There is long-felt want in this city
as well as elsewhere among the
churches, and that is reform all along
down the line. The first thing we need
is a better history and bible read
ministry. The most illiterate men
among us to-day are trying to preach
and they are doing no good for the
Christian religion or the people. What
we need and what we ought to demand
of the ministers of the gospel is to
instruct the people how to live
Christians in this life, and not play
upon the prejudice and whim of old
fogies. As rule, the trouble with the
churches to-day is that ignorance and
weakness rule. The line ought to be
drawn, and let it run clear up in the
pulpit, Ignorance should be given the
back seat, common sense and Chris
tianity should triumph. AS long as we
continue the way we are going to-day,
our churches will be burlesque to
Christ's religion and a laughing stock
of the civilized world The people
inhabit this globe for purpose, and
that purpose is to make the world bet
ter. That is the object Of Christian
religion as we understand it, to make
the world better, and to save man
after death. Any religion that does
not make man better is not worth
having. There is too much excitement
in our religious services to-day, and not
enough reality aboutit There are too
many fakes in the pulpits exciting the
people in order to get money out of
them, with no sincerity of purpose. We
need more bible and history read
women in our churches to-day. When
our women become well posted it will
have tendency to raise the ministry
to higher standard Silly preachers
will not be able to get them to receive
their shallow arguments as they do at
the present. They will be compelled
to tell the people something or they will
be given the back seat. The sympathy
of our women and the weakness of
some of our men is what islseeping this
class of preachers to the front to-day.
We are in need of information. The
world is starving to death to-day for
the truth, and in order to raise the
people to a higher standard, coward
in the pulpit is worse than robber.
He steals their time and attention and
give them nothing in return.

CONVENTION NOTES.

If the proceedings of the Afro-Ameri-
can Protective association on Wednes-
day afternoon had been taken down in
short hand and published verbation
there would be many surprised There
was no method in the proceedings and
the chair got lost in the scramble. /,
is q hard task to pre lie over men
who have had experience, and when
one is lacking in both experience and
resource there can be no business done.
Many generals were tried during the
late war before one was found who
had the ability to lead the, Union forces
onto victory Thefe$was lack Of
willingness and ready hands There
was no lack of resources. But there
was a lack of an official heads lender
equal to the occasion. The Negroes OF
Iowa have had an object lesson and
should profit.
George E. Taylor is worker and
will expedite business if given reason
able opportunity. There were many
in the convention who opposed every
thing Taylor presented on the simple
ground of origin and not because i,
was wrong To a few delegates q
motion or resolution by Taylor was a
red flag. Taylor occupied similar
position to that occupied by the late
Benjamin Z. Butler while in congress
If Butler desired law or resolution
passed he opposed it.
Doc. Clark's chief stock in trade was
'tMr. chairman, / rise to a pint OF
order. J" 1t should have been quart.
1t was claimed by many, and with
some degree of reason, that neighbor-
hood quarrels or misunderstanding
or jealousness were dumped into the
convention. Such thing should be dis
couraged by all who have the interest
of the association at heart.
Sam Mash attempted to jump into
the convention but was balked. Mr..
Mash is quite a prominent character in
the community. He made grand
speech at the reception of Bishop
Wayman and is resident of south or
east Des Moines or both.
There were many lady delegates and
visistors. They were there on time,
took deep interest and setan example
worthy of imitation by the men. The
women are patriotic and have some of
the strongest clubs in the state COM
posed entirely of their own sex. We
have no doubt that the ardor Of many
excited speaker was cooled when he
looked into the intelligent faces of so
many ladies' We are glad the ladies
take such . deep interest in the as
sociation. They can make it a sne-
cess.
