FOR THE SUNDAY
When the new auditorium OF the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. South, is finished
some time next September. probably-thero
will not be a cent OF debt on 1t.
The building is to cost $4,000. 1t Is TO
occupy one OF the finest corner lots in
one OF tho most exclusive sections of the
city. II Is to nave a seating capacity of
ESQ. It Is to have a handsome new organ
and heating and lighting apparatus OF the
latest type.
And when II Is finished 1t will belong alb
solutely to the congregation. There will
be no debt Of any kind-no mortgage. no
notes. no liens.
This Is because the members OF the
congregation. when they began the building
Of the church. nearly a year ago. deter
mined that they would proceed strictly on
a cash basis. When they had the money
in hand. they would nave the contractors

they had a chance L. raise more cash.

work Is progressing with such rapidity
that the pastor of the church. the Rever-

be ready for occupancy In September.
This. OF course. barring accidents.
Accidents. by the way. are something
that the congregation OF the Lafayette

Many strange things happen in the world
nowadays. and the little ironies Of life
would fill q huge volume. But surely, in
all the irony of history. or in the history
OF irony. there has been nothing so strange
as the tribute of dynamite to the peace Of
the world. It sounds like an enigma, but
nothing Is more likely than that dynamite
may prove to be one Of the greatest fac
tors working in our time for the benefit Of
humanity. and that the inventor of dyna-
mite may prove to have been the very best
friend Of the Peace Society.
-Four years ago Mr.. Nobel died, leaving
behind him a vast fortune of nearly two
millions of money. says an English writer.
Every penny Of It he traced back to a
trihing Incident in a days work-to the ac-
cidental escape Of nitroglycerine from a
cask. 1t was one of those trifes which
were destined to affect the history not only
OF one man, but Of a nation. and of many
nations. The nitroglycerine mixed with the
s%iliceous sand Of the packing. and that day
Mr.. Nobel discovered dynamite. For years
he manufactured the most deadly explosive
known to men, and then this man of revo-
lutions died q peaceful death. In his life
he dealt in war-in war the most terrible
and deadly; in his death he gave his all to
peace, and laid his wealth on the altar OF
universal good.
MI. Nobel believed that large inherited
fortunes only promote the degeneration Of
man. He disapproved even Of children in

If the railway traffic be taken as a
measure of the country's increase In

in the number of cars reported as

Foot Ball.
AS told in the news columns
this week the pride of Iowa in
foot ball circles, the S. u. I. team, has
not the most flattering prospects of sue
cess this season. Last year Iowa was
the pride of the state and the envy of
the west. But once, and only once, was
she scored against. and that by North
western on Thanksgiving day, and not
once was her goal line crossed by an OPP
losing eleven. This year only few of
the old players are back In line and of
the new material in sight the greater
share of 1t is not used to Coach Knipe's
style of play. This means that at this
late date either a new style will have to
be adopted or the men will have to be-
gin in the initial stages Of practice. The
coach and Manager McCutcheon are
both confident, however, of the teams
success.
The reports from Grinnell appear to be
quite sanguine for the outlook in foot
ball circles this year. Grinnell played in
hard luck all last season and the admir-
crs of the scarlet and black will wish
them better success this season.
