Anything for Grange was their motto,
but the mass Of the party are really
glad no change VIII occur. And the
writer II convinced from meeting with
hundreds Of democrats In Iowa during
the part four yeare that such men o.
Hill and Cleveland really were the choice
(privately) OF large prcentage Of the
democrats in this state, This class OF
men have never desired to be classed
with the populirts, hence Organism was
not altogether acceptable.

Some time since. unannounced, there
appeared on the platform Of the Con-
|gregatlonal church. Grfnnell. one Sun
day morning represents tive of the
American Board OF Missions, who pro-
|ceeded to lay before his audience a plan
by which this church could support a.
missionary In China or elsewhere When
Il 1t Is known that this church gives to
foreign missions 81, 900 to. 81, 200 a year,
the public will be interested in knowing
that nearly $500 wac pledged at the time.
and probably more since. In this COL
umn has been mentioned before the adj
tvantages OF the big church OF say 1000
tmembere over four churches OF $50 mem-
berg each. 1t would saem as tho this
last offering of say $500, tfis In addition
to the annual collection tor general for
leign missionary purposes Of $1,000 in
round numbers, is q strong argument in
favor of the big church, with one pastor,
one heating plant. one lighting system,
one janitor and one building to keep in
repair.
President Gates. formerly of Iowa Col
'eg, preached sort OF a farewell sermon
asst Sunday night: A big audience gath
sred to hear him. This for two reasons,
he first because DR.. Gates always says
a,msthing, and secondly, because many
Xpected there WOULD be a final blast on
ipplied Christianity. But nary a blast.
4 stranger would not have known that
such thing az applied Christianity was
ever disturbing factor In Iowa College
circles. Instead, Rev. Mr.. Gates ma de a
strong plea for reciprocity between town
and gown. He stated positively that
this college was worth more to Grinneil
than the location of a manufacturing
plant. He made mention of some corre-
apondent in a daily paper saying that
mig wife could not live comfortably = in
his climate. 1t was not comfort that
made Mrs. Gates go to Colorado. Doc
tors warned her that her life ,rae endan-
gered If she stayed In Iowa. The trus-
tes OF Iowa College had never lntimated
that they desired his reeigna ton. Now
psrha PSI there was a little applied Chris
.ianity in true story the speaker told.
It seems that student whose father IL
well-to-do and conseqYe ntly enjoyed the
credit Of the stories s6ch sons appreci-
ate, left town between two days, also
leaving some unpaid bills. The father
came TO town to settle up such accounts.
4 Among the asssts Of said student We're
1.-Two unused new unpaid for articles alsc
4 bills for the same. Now the father had
mo use for these articlessof personal or
namentation. 50 heswent to the mer-
chant. taking the goods with him, and
asked him to take 1t back, offering at
1.-THE same time to pay for any expense
Iattached to the Transaction. This the
merchant declined to do. and the father
Ipaid the bill. Then the other dealer was
Visited and the uninsured article offered
taken back al full value and a IS bill re-
fused as payment for trouble. etc. And
1.-THE ex-president then remarked in his
peculiar way: II have no comments to
/ make. Neither has the writer, but
there is a s,u bject for a debating society:
F. Resolved. that a merchant is doing
i business on Christian principles when
he refuses take back gocde bought on
Hcredit. Said goods guaranteed to be al
good az new. DR. Gates did not tel
4 this next story, but some one did, and
|vouches for the truth Of IT. 1t seems
A that once upon a time an impecunious
student bought Of Grlnnell jewelry

that the student had 1t charged to him
Then the student went somewhere anc
forgot to come back. And the jsweler

tagency, and they sent the bill to the bes
girl, asking her to pay 1t. The final fact
