Reunion of NIinisters,

that city of Rev. George B. Simons, of
Rock Island; Rev. w. P. French, Cold
water; Rev. W. f. Brooks, South
Park, Me-, and Rev. George Sahlin, of
Sycamore, III. A few years ago these
four ministers were the pastors of the
Baptist, Methodist, Congregational
and Universalist churches in Benton
Harbor. They found it plea SAINT for
brethern to dwell together in unity
and bond of lasting friendship wa;
formed between them. The closest
attachment existed between Revs.
Simons and French, and the News
says: The holding of union services
used to be their delight. No matter
if it was a missionary meeting, a
meeting to collect funds for the starv-
ing, or even a revival, these two
brethren never lost an opportunity to
create laugh at the expense of the
other. But it was always good ma
tured and a religious truth was al
ways emphasized by the good natured
pleasantries they flung at each other.
People knew their failing and never
invited them to jointly conduct flu

is therefore a christian principle:
that in harmony with this principle

in the hands of a few men is un-

main difficulty in securing pro-

Then Will Wars Have Ended and
the Golden Rule Will
Be Applied.

Rock Island may eventually become
the capital of the United States, &C
cording to the predictions of the
United Christian, the official organ of
the united christian party, which held
it's first national convention in this
city in May of the present year. The
Christian in its July issue says:
In the second chapter of Isaiah
and also in the fourth chapter of Mi
cab, we read of a time when there
shall be no more war or rising of ma
ton against nation. when swords
shall be beaten into plowshares,
spears into pruning hooks and every
man shall sit safely under his own
vine without fear, because Christ
shall rebuke many nations, and Judge
them, and out of Zion shall go forth
the law. How easy this will be, and
how glorious to Christ and beneficial
to humanity when all christians and
patriots unite at the ballot box and ap-
ply the golden rule in all state and ma
tional government. Jesus said when
We hear of war, rumors of war, famine,

ton, iniquity in high places, know
that the end is near, even at the
door meaning the end of that wick
ed age of government. All agree
that present signs indicate that we
are the generation that shall not pass
away until this long looked for, much
needed change in all systems of
earthly government will take place.
He said We shall be hated for My
names sake, but he that endureth to
the end shall be safe. Some who Pro-
fessed to be christians. object to a
union in His name and hate those
who insist on drawing this line that
