Although the meeting was primarily
for business, short informal talks

These gentlemen voiced the senti-

that brought forth much applause.

Rock Island won from Davenport
in Yesterday afternoon s baseball game
at Twelfth street park by a score Of
D to 4. 1t was a close and exciting
contest. Up to the eighth inning the
Iowans had not crossed the home plate
and it was due entirely to the ragged
playing of Rock Island in that inning
that the visitors scored. Peck Sharp,
the home teams crack twirler, was
unable to fill his customary position
en- account of illness, and Christy
ladders was substituted. Ladders.

Calls War Merely an Incident.
Bishop Hartzell has been among the
Beers. He has compared their forms
of government with those of the Eng
lish. He says that the legislation of
the Beers, like that of the French, is
largely for the classes, while that of
the English is for the individual. The
Boer war is merely an incident in the
civ liza ion Of Africa, in which the
lower of governing will pass to the
nation best fitted to receive it, and the
Beers them selves. in the end, will be
81 d of the change.
The population of Africa, the speak
er said, will always be black and gov
erned by white men. This is the
white mans burden and he is pc
culiarly fitted by Providence to
bear it. The most important of
England's enterprises is the building
of railroad 5000 miles long, from
Alexandria to Cape Town. 1t is now
half done and will be completed in 3
few years. 1t will be the most power
full ciyilizing influence at work in
the dark continent.
Work Among Natives.
The bishop closed with an account
of the work done by the Methodist
church in the central part of Africa
since he was placed in charge of it in
1896. The millions of blacks the I'M
developed country supports is a reve-
lation to the ordinary person and the
readiness with which they accept the
christian religion and accustom them
selves to the ways of civilization fur
nish grounds for the strongest hope
for the future ard an incentive to
christian everywhere to push the
work of missionaries.

He took for his text the 10Th verse of
the 18th chapter of St. Luke: Like
wise say unto you, there is Joy in
the presence of the angels of God over
one sinner that repenteth.
Heaven, the speaker began, is not
so far away as we imagine. Its dis
lance cannot be measured by earthly
units of measurement. There is no
analogy between heaven and earth
There distance and time are not.
In the opinion of the speaker, the
angels of heaven are with US here on
earth at times. The evidence of the
bible proves their presence in the past
in numerous instances and the exper-
fence of the present is constantly
bringing out cases in which their
guiding power lifts us up and carries
US forward 10 safety. The ordinary
affairs of life, if we but examine them
closely, are far more remarkable than
the miracles, so-called. The power
that prevents us from seeing, or rea.-
izing a danger, is more remarka BILE
than the power that guides US away
from what is near. 1t is our duty to
be trustful of the future and submit
to the guidance of unseen forces.
Bishop Hurst referred to the
psychological effect of prayer and
quoted instances of it's wonderful eff
feet. He advised those who are seek
ing to gain an object through prayer
to never cease in their efforts, for
they always bring a reward.
Following his sermon five persons
were baptized and Is who had passed
the necessary period of pro baton were
confirmed as mem bers of the church
