The sixth annual convention of the
Tri-City Luther league is in pro-
gress at St. Paul's English Lutheran
church, Davenport, where the opening
session was largely attended last
night.
The program was arranged and
given by the memb ers of the Luther
league of Rock Island. 1t was an
evening spent profitably and pleasant
ly, with Luther's hymns. All the
songs sung and most of the melodies
were the compositions of the leader
of the Reformation.
The service was opened with n beau
tiful organ voluntary, the grand
strains of Elm Feste Burg making
a fitting Introduction to the discus
sions and songs that were to follow.
Mrs. j. l.. Murphy, wife of the pastor
of the Rock Island church, presided at
the organ during this inspiring rendi
ton.
An essay on Hymn SIG, entitled
Ito Gods Word" and also a product
of Luther's pen, was read by Miss
Minnie Swanson. She discussed the
thought of the song and the historical
circumstances which surrounded its
composition. Grant Hultberg deliv-
cred a very interesting address on the
hymn, TO the Holy Ghost which
was rendered afterward by quartet.
Miss Minnie Chindlund sang Upon
Repentance.
Concerning Christmas, a hymn,
which, like the rest, was written by
Luther, formed the subject of Il
beautiful essay by Miss NJ. Josephine
Holland. Mrs. j. l.. Murphy, who
has a charming voice, then sang the
piece.
Address by Prof. Wendell.
The session closed with the chief
address of the evening by Prof. c. A.
Wendell, one of the teachers in the
Rock Island High school. His treat
ment of the theme went largely into
the historical incidents attending it's
composition.
Th afternoon at 2:3O o'clock the
business session of the Tri-Citv Luth-
err league was held, TO lowed by re-
ception and social hour. In the
evening banquet, with toasts, will
be held in the parlor of the church.

clude the convention and will consist

often the result of kidney disease. II
kidney trouble is allowed to advance

able to attack the vital organs, or the
kidneys themselves break down and
waste away cell by cell. Then the
richness of the blood-the albumen--
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney
trouble. Kidney trouble can be de-
tected although it be slow and decep-
tive. First. by analysis of the urine;
second, by the simple test of setting
the urine aside in glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours, when a cloudy OF
brick dust settling indicates it.
