Decision Day as an international
Sunday School day was suggested
by E. F. Wescott, of ST. Louis, in
November, 1896 Through only four
years old tits thoughly establish
ed in many states. The Iowa Sab.
bath School Association called for
it's observance on the first Sunday
in February, 1900, and more than
twenty-five hundred conversions
were reported. The Association.
through it's new general superint-
endent, Mr.. A. Sallee. of Davenport,
is now scattering many thou
sands OF circulars broadcast over
the State in the hope that the next
observance Of the day, which falls
on February 3, 1901, will result in
twenty-five thousand conversions.

Total Observation-Disclosures. $2O36 70 2O36 Y
We might say the entire amount
OF Indebtedness was raised without
effort, before anyone was aware of
of it. The members of the church
had subrcribed literally but, seeing
the amount needed. they fully and
willingly made greater sacrifices
and gave amounts that showed eX-
cessive liberality and proved their
loyalty to the church and consecra-
ton to the cause for which the
church stands. Members of other
churches and people outside of the
churches came in for their share,
showing that they wanted to have a
part and place in the splendidly
built and furnished church editice.
When the secretaries footed up the
various amounts pledged it was
found that they had received $S03. 90
which was $4,000 more than vas
needed to pay off the church obliga-
ton. There was a feeling of Joyous
rapture that swept over the church
when the amount subscribed was
announced, and the audiences arose
and sang the praises oftheir Maker.
The entire Building Committee and
the Trustees of the chnrch then
came La WdTu ana QUO N1ttnauer,
as Chairman of the Binding Com
nittee turned over the keys to Oscar
Hunt, Chairman of the Board of
Trustees. Then followed the read
ing OF the dedicatory rites and
prayer which ended the beautiful
aud impressive scene.
Words of thanks would not ex-
press the deep appreciation felt by
the various committees and the
members of the church for the
hearty and loyal cooperation and
support which has been received.
There are times when words have
an empty meaning and fall far short
of expressing the heartfelt graft
tude OF the recipients, and so in this
case, and the donors will never
truly know the kindly feeling that
is buried deep down in the inner
resources of the heart and souls of
those who make this their church
home, and labor for the growth and
developement of the higher, nobler
and purer impulses of mankind.

Long after Washington's victories over
the French and English had made his name
familiar TO all Europe. DR.. Franklin
CHANGED TO dine with the English and
the words can be recollected, the following
toasts were drunk: BY the British ambas-
sador: "-England-the sun whose bright
beams enlighten and fructify the remotest
corners OF the EARTH" The French ambas-
sador. glowing with national pride. but too
polite to dispute the previous toast, drank:
Frank. the moon whose mild. steady and
cheering rays are the delight Of all nations:
consoling them i'm darkness and making
their dreariness beautiful" DR. Franklin
then arose, and, with his usual digniied
simplicity said: George Washington-the
Joshua who commanded the sun and moon
to stand still; and they obeyed him."
