GoLD-PLsASURE WORSHIP.
Evangelist Kerr Says 1t Is the Weakness
of the Church Today.

Evangelist Kerr Says 1t L. the Weakness
of the Church Today.
The large increase in the mum ber
and seriousness of the congregation
at the revival services in the First
Methodist church last evening indi-
cate a rising tide of interest, and
presage successful results. Some
have indicated desire to begin the
Christian life. while large mum ber
have manifested a deep longing for
n fuller spiritual life.
The sermon of the evening was by
Evangelist Kerr, and based on the
words. Il beseech you. therefore,
brethren, by the mercies OF God. that
We present your bodies a living sacri-
lice, holy, acceptable unto God, which
is your reasonable service. And be
not conformed to this world; but be
We transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that We may prove what
is that good, and acceptable. and per-
feet will of Cod The speaker de-
clared his belief that conformity of
many religious people to the world is
the weakness of the church today. AS
the Jews of old made a calf of gold and
bowed to it so many protessedly
christian people now worship calf OF
gold and Il calf Of pleasure. The only
way is to be out and out for God. A
temperance society might reform
man, bicycle club might deform
him, but only God could transform
him. He pressed upon all the neces-
sity of entire devotion to God for per-
sonal reasons and for the sake of the
salvation of the people.
The evangelists sang The Man of
Galilee" and Mother is Praying for
You" Their singing is great fea-
lure of the meetings. The meetings
are at 2:30 and 7:30 p. m.

charged at 20 cents each, and targets
at cents each. We have arranged

ESCAPE OF THE PATIENTS
watertown People said to BE In Fear of
Violence.

Commenting upon the large num-
ber of inmates that have escaped re-
Gently from the Watertown hospital
for the insane, the Moline Journal
hints at queer tales regarding the con-
dition of thugs there. The Journal
says:
The escape of patients from the
Watertown asylum are of too frequent
occurrence. Only a week ago one of
the unfortunates wandered upon the
tracks and was killed near Barstow,
while doubtless dozens of others wan
der away and are injured or lost track
OF entirely. Many other things occur
at the institution which never reach
the public ear. 1t seems there is suffi-
eient help about the institution TO look
after the welfare of the inmates.
The people about Watertown tell
some queer stories of the conditions
which prevail, and the statement is
made that the residents are in a state
of alarm almost continuously at the
hands of patients who roam around
and NAV become violent at any time. y"

The Augustana conservatory has
been disappointed for the second
time by Vladimir de Pachmann, the
pianist. The concert was to have
been originally given two weeks ago,
but at his request was postponed un-
til tonight. Today the following let
ter was received:
Il did not hear a word from De-
troit. Have had n letter from New
York. which reads as follows: In
answer to your telegram, beg to in
form you that Mr.. De Pachmann will
not play in Rock Island Feb. Z. When
in Montreal L had a consultation with
several physicians regarding Mr.. De
Pachmann's condition and they all
forbid him to travel at night. Re-
spectfully, F. WIGHT NEUMAN."
The faculty is, of course, very much
disappointed, and is about to take
legal steps to recover damages.
