Closing Sermon at Central
Presbyterian Church.
LEAVES TODAY FOR CHICAGO
Five Years in Rock Island-.Goes
With Mccormick Sem
mary.

Rev. Ira ". Allen, Jr., who has
been pastor of the Central Presbyter-
ian church for the past i've years, left
today for Chicago to take up his du-
ties at the Mccormick Theological
seminary, where he has accepted a
chair. He delivered his farewell SER
mon yesterday morning before a large
congregation, taking for his text the
second verse of the first chapter of
Ephesians: Grace be to you and
peace from God, our Father. and the
Lord Jesus Christ" He spoke sub
stantially as follows:
I'VE miss a great many of the best
things that this life holds out to us
because of the formal manner in which
they are presented. But there is
nothing about the bible that is either
formal or useless. There is no waste
of words. And St. Paul, who uttered
the text, was too great man and too
serious to use words idly. When he
thus addressed the Ephesians he was
indirectly replying to the charge that
he was not true disciple because he
had never seen Christ and his words,
from the fact that they were spoken
only for the faithful, and contained an
insinuation against those who had not
protested christianity. 1t was an in
situation similar to that which Christ
cast upon each of His disciples when
He told them that one of them was 10
betrav Him. 1t caused each to think
of himself and ask, is it l, Lord?'
How much better it is to look to our
selves as the source of evil than to
search for that source among others.
ST. Paul's words also implied a warn
ing for the future of the Ephesians.
They had been taught the doctrine
that man can save himself and were
attempting to effect salvation by I'M
natural means, such as fasting and
avoiding the contamination of matter
wherever possible.
The grace and peace which he held
out to the Ephesians involved two
separate ideas. Grace came from the
Greeks. 1t signifed outward perfec-
tion and came to be applied as an at
tribute of the Divine Being. Peace
involved the Hebrew idea. 1t origin
ally meant inward perfection and
came to be applied to those enjoying
the light of christianity.
Grace of God Everywhere.
The grace of God is everywhere.
1t may be likened to the electricity
with which power wires are charged.
We are like the house fitted with lamps
and connecting wires and ready for
the light. 1t is but necessary to close
the switch when the current will be
communicated to us and we shall be
flooded with the light of peace"
Rev. Allen concluded his sermon by
to his congregation the
grace and peace that st. Paul held out
to the Ephesians, and followed it with
a touching prayer asking for strength
in the work he is entering upon and
invoking the Divine blessing upon the

acred a command of 100 Mexican SOL
dlers n cold blood. And we had then
a feeling OF security almost as great as
now, while that crafty redskin was
lurking in the hills within sight of our
homes. In fact, we haven't fairly got
rid of the creepy feeling that came over
such of us as were so unfortunate as to
be here at that time and witnessed the
grewsome sight of the dead Mexican
captain, ver whom Tatabiate drew the
freshly fiayed skin of a burro after
sticking him upon a pole. 1t is the I'M
expected that almost always happens
in fighting these Yaquis, who, though
in the main a peaceful, agricultural
people, all of a sudden flame out in
war and without warning scatter over
the country, leaving devastation and
~bloodshed in their wake.
The Yaquis have lived in this state
of Sonora from time immemorial, or at
all events ever since the first Spaniards
came into Mexico, and it is now more
than 400 years since the first missions
were established among them-to be
exact, in the year 1890. They lived

leys he Yaquis have their farms, and
in the mountains their fortresses.
So far as | can learn, this last up
rising is the sixth great rebellion in
their brief history, the first of which
we have any record having taken place
in 1875. When the Mexicans were
struggling for liberty, the Yaquis
helped materially to shake off the
Spanish yoke; but they were ignored
in the subsequent apportionment oil
lands and honors and remained in a
disgruntled state until 1925, when they
broke out in open revolt. Temporar-
lily %subdued, they sprang to arms
again in 1882, and again in 1841 they
were still fighting. The great ten
years war" came later, but for the
past so years these Indians have been
at variance with the Mexicans. and
there has not been any protracted in
terval of peace.
When | first came to this country.
the great chief Cajemi was in supreme
command, and, as he had been edu-
Gated in the military academy of Mex
leo and had served as an officer in the
Mexican army, he always led his war
riors to victory. He was betrayed
through the rankest treachery, and it
was in revenge for this perfdious act
that the Yaquis again sought the war

A Deacon viii, q scheme.

Opposite the railroad depot there
was a grocery kept by a colored man,
and as we had some time to wait for
the train three or four of US crossed
over to look at his stock. Business
was very brisk with the merchant,
though all his customers were color
ed. We noticed that sugar tea and
Goldfish seemed to sell above all else,
and during a temporary lull the col
onel approached the battered, old
scales on which everything was
weighed and picked up some of the
weights. The hollow in each one had
been filled with lead, ano when quite
sure that the pound weight would bal
ance 20 unces at least he saiu to the
old man:
81 see you have filled your weights
with lead"
Eyes, sab; yes, sah," he replied as
he rubbed his hands together.
What was the idea"
ITO keep de dirt out o. de holes,
sab. Can't no dirt git in dar now"
WAS it your own idea?p
mo, sab. l never should hev got
dat idea if it hadn't bin fur Deacon
Williams. De Deacon said it was de

here, doesn't he?"
He do, sab; yes, sab, he buys 'em
all yere, an he was tellin me only dis
mawnin dat he nebber did see de beat
o how dem groceries held out"
He was advised to take the weights
over to the cotton warehouse and have
them weighed, and he picked them up
and in a slow walk and very much
puzzled he proceeded to the ware
house. When he returned, it was on
the run and mis- eyes hanging out, and
as he reached the store he exclaimed:
mo wonder has gone into bank
ruptcy fo'teen times an had to sell my
nevis an hogs ar make de ole woman
