AMUSEME NTS.

Barney Ferguson and his company
appeared at Harper's theatre last night
in "McCarthy's Mishaps," n farce
constructed for the purpose of per-
uniting unlimited sway TO sPecialt!es-
Mr.. Ferguson is rs funny AS ever, al
though not rs lively as he was before
the bloom of youth left him. His
knock about turn with his son Dick
Ferguson is clever as we'll as comical.
In the company there are several
other people who do pleasing special
ties.
The Chicago Evening Post says Of
the Spiering quartet, which will appear
nj Unity hall. Davenport, tomorrow
evening: Each of the concerts Of
the last two years has shown that we
nave in this organization one of the
best quartets in the country. Boston
boasts the kneisels, but New York
has no similar association of equal
note. The approach to perfection
that practice gives is drawing nearer
the highest artistic standard every
year. In the Spiering quartet the
work was fine and throughout there
was an appreciation Of the possibilities
the compositions presented
The musical features with Uncle
Josh Spruceby" company this year
include NO bands and an orchestra of
u solo musicians. At the noon-day
concert program of popular and
high-grade selections are rendered by
the comb bands and these con-
certs have become very popular and
invaria bly, attract much attention and
comment. The orchestra between the
acts discourses a pleasing program
and is one of the many attractive fea-
lures with the show. For the first
tine this company appears at popular
prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents. 1t goes
without saying that n iammed house
is assured. Uncle Josh" appears at
Jumpers theatre Tuesday night.
TO say that farce comedy is popular
is repeating an oft told story, and
Manager Miller is to be congratulated
for booking such an old time favorite
as Skipped by the Light of the
Moon which comes to Harper's the
atre this evening. Several seasons
have passed since this favorite come
dy was here, and no doubt it will he
welcome as the flowers that bloom in
the spring, As it always pleased the
people and gave the best of satisfac-
lion. Skipped" is different from
most farce comedies, it has an inter
estipg plot and the story is brightly
worded, which is rarely found III plays
of the farcical order. The work is
clean, clear and scintillates with wit
and humor of the most advanced
order. Every move, look and word
has it's place and its effect. There is
nothing supertluous, nothing lacking,
but is just crowded with clean, de-
lightful fun, without resorting to vul-
garity of any shape whatsoever. The
company presenting the skit this
season is far above the average and
much stronger than ever before. They
are all competent comedians and sing
ers who use their voices to good adj
vantage in the specialties and songs
which are introduced during the action
of the play.

er. Christ sent His disciples out as
preachers. They were to go into all
the world and preach the gospel to
every creature. This Is my mission
to YOU. | am not here to help you
have II good time, but to preach to
YOU and to others the word of truth.
This mission with Gods help |
shall try to fulfill. Realizing my obi
cation to God and TO my fellow men,
| shall try To preach the truth i'll love.
The man who does not love men has
no right to preach the gospel. Men
want To he loved. They want To know
that God has fathers love for them
and that those who bring news of this
fact love them, too. Every heart
knoweth its own bitterness, and our
fellows need not reproach and denun-
citation so much as love and svmpa-
thv. Jesus preached in love, and
even when he presented the scverer
phases of truth it was with 4 heart
full of compassion.
Gospel OF Love.
Il want those who attend on my
ministry to feel that preach the Cos
pei of love and salvation and that |
preach it with a loving heart. | hope
To preach intelligently that even the
Youngest aud most illiterate may un-
dcrstand.
Il want to preach earnestly. If
christianity is not a passion, it is
nothing. Consecratcd energy, wisely
directed, is what is needed in chris
tian work. 1t is my expectation to
preach the word successfully. | be-
lieve this because the message is not
mine. but Gods. and we have His
word for it that it shall not return
unto Him void. Then again, | expect
to preach the word successfully here
because l have preached it success
fully in other places. This may SAVIOR
of conceit. but l think it reasonable
faith. To the best of my ability l
shall endeavor to preach the whole
truth as it relates TO human redemp-
ton.
Il wish to thank you on behalf of
myself and family for the royal well
come Won have given us and the pro-
vision you have made for our COM
fort. With your hearty and prayer
full cooperation l predict success.
