Flanders went to the orders headquar- ters with the object of forcibly- taking ton and bringing Secretary Hawes to Rock Island.
 "A train was chartered composed of six cbaches and two box cars-and the party were soon on their way to Fulton. The Tinhabitants of Fulton were apprsed of their coming and prepared to give them a warm reception. The fire alarm was sbunded and lines of hose were laid to the points where it was thought the Rock Islanders would be most likely to disem- bark. The arrival of the special train was the signal for hostilities to begin. There was intense feeling on both sides and a great variety of weapons. The following is partial list of cas- ualities:
 WILLIAM BENNETT, city marshal of Fulton head cut, believed be fatal.
 James Degnan, head cut.
 James Carrier, head cut.
 Ed Barr, head and arms injured
 Th,.fc r 1
 P. J. Casey. Moline, Ill.,; head badly in- jured.
 A score of others were more or less bruised and cut.
 The free fight lasted for an hour or more rocks, clubs and missiles of every description being wielded industriously by the opposing forces The Fultonies finally got the better of the fight and Deputy Sh4riff Farley effected the ar rest of Head Attorney Johnson, of the Modern Woodmen, one of the Rock Is- land party, and number of his com panions. The railroad track on each side of the cars that brought the Rock Is- flanders was torn up by the Fultonites, the latter evidently aiming to cut off the retreat of their enemies. A large force of police officers has bsen sworn in and as the invaders, or most of them, are still in Fulton. there is a great deal of difficulty In preventing a renewal of the trouble.

The value of worship is to be found

The value of worship is to be found
in its capacity for social inspiration,
because it blends and harmonizes the
feelings of those who take part in it.
When it is effective, it must be the
expression of what the congregation
has in commonwealth is not only
shared in by all its own members,
but what it shares with many other
like individ uaJs and congregations.
In word, it must be the voice of
the social consciousness, in order
that it may have the power of moral
inspiration. 1t cannot, therefore,
widely depart from the spiritual ira
ditions of the race. and retain those
qualities which are most important.
We are most inspired by that which
has been most inspiring to other
men in all generations since civiliza
ton began.
We would not detract in the least
from the sermon. To make that less
efficient would be to emasculate the
Sunday service. What we wish is to
see the other parts of the service
made more important, more impress
sive, and more truly devotional. If
the whole service is so conducted that
a throb of quick, warm sentiment
passes through the whole congrega-
ton, unites present by touch of
tender sympathy, and lifts all hearts
in strong desire for what is divine
and eternal, then it has done its
perfect work.
1t might be well for minister, or
ganist, choir, and congregation to
study the art of united and harmoni-
GUS worship, of worship that is in
itself an inspiration, and seek to
make it more devout in form, more
revereMt in attitude, more artistic in
spirit, and more spiritual in it's eff
fects. However intellectual the SER
mon the worship cannot be too SYM
pathetic and neutrality-suspicious.

Mothers of Great Men.

Zone of the chief glories of the Bible
is its recognition of the dignity, rights
and usefulness of woman. Where in any
other body of literature will you find so
pure respect and love for wife, so de-
voted and sef-sacrifcing an affection
for sister and daughter, so noble a rev.
erence for mother? The world general
ly in its laws, literatures, and customs
does not treat woman in any of her re-
lations with the sweet, divine justice
which the good book inculcates. Travel
where you may, you find very few mon
uments reared to celebrate the genius,
virtues, and self-sacrifces of woman
hood. No holidays are legalized in honor
of great women. Even the queens
birthday is not SO much day in honor
of Victoria as of the queen. On that
day the English people celebrate the
dignity of an Office, not the virtues and
greatness of woman, though she be
the most queenly woman and the most
womanly queen in the history of sover-
eighty. Too many women care more
about an illustrious ancestry than a
useful progeny. A great pedigree has in
it not half the honor that belongs to a
great posterity. 1t is robler, more
praiseworthy, to be the mother OF a
great man then to be simply the daugh-
ter OF great man. From the days of
Moses, whose mother made possible his
education in all the learning of the
Egyptians, nearly every great man has
been honest enough to say: i owe my
success chiefly to my mother Ii liber-
al education is antagonistic to mother
hood. so much the worse for that miser-
able, pernicious type of education. IL
society and its demands are antagonis-
tic to motherhood, so much the worse
for that type of society. What is book.
or picture, or song good for except for
what it can do for mems minds. hearts.
and lives? For that does the faithful
mother give to the world her children,
that they may minister good to the
world. The religion that honors mother
will save the world. Good mothers give
nations great men, and great men make
great nations. Req. Frank NJ. Bris-
toll ID d.

WORSHIP.

Do we make as much of worship
in our churches as we OUGHT 1t is
possible we lay too much emphasis
upon the sermon in comparison with
the other features of the service.
That is, we may give too decidedly
an intellectual character to our Sum
day gathering. Those who care for
strong meat, for robust discussions
of the problems of the day. are at
tracted and helped; but those who
want sympathy, a word of courage,
cheering touch with the great spirit
ual traditions of the Christian
church, may not always find quite
what they seek.
Aside from any question of sermon
or intellectual preaching, is there
not something most hopeful in the
worship simply as worship? Doubt
less, to the great majority of men
and women the reading of the great
Bible words, the singing together
bright and inspiring hymns, the deep
sounds of organ and the strong up
lifting of feeling and Imagination il
may give. the tender, comforting
voice of true communion with God
in prayer, are of more worth than
anything which can be put into the
sermon, unless it is very short and
simple, genuinely devout and strong
in inspiring qualities.
The service of worship may be
made as complete in itself, as artis-
tic and beautiful, as rounded out and
emphatic in its impression as any
statue, poem, or musical composition.
To large extent, it should make a
similar impression, having its appeal
for the emotions, for imagination, for
the moral impulses, and for the shap-
ing of the life forces themselves. 1t
may soothe and comfort, and it may
inspire with hope and courage.
