Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-09-19

Rev. c. Z. Hoffsten, in Augustana
JJournal: An informal meeting of
the English pastors of the synod
was held Thursday and Friday, Sept
and 5, at the home of DIR. j. Teller.
1892 Fifth avenue, Rock Island.
The purpose of the meeting was To
consider the English question, which
is one of the most important ques-
tions before our synod today, be-
cause upon its proper solution de
Ponds largely the welfare of our syn
od as an independent church body.
There We're present the pastors
of the four English congregations
OF the synod, viz: Rev. y. Hult. OF
the Messiah church. Chicago; Rev
{. o. Solberg. of the Emanuel church.
Rockford, Ill.,; Rev. Ira Nothstein. of
st. Peter, Mimi; and Rev c. f. Hoff-
stem, of Grace Lutheran church, Rocll
Island. together with DIR. j. Telleen,
at present secretary of the English
Home Missions of the Minnesota con
ference.
An organization of this body was
effected, and DR.. TelIeen was chosen
chairman, and Rev. c. +. Hoffsten
secretary.
Several papers had been prepared
and were read at the meeting. Rev.
c. o. Solberg read a paper on "Or-
ganization that will conserve AMI
agitate." The question of organiZa-
ton was here discussed. An organ
iZation is necessary that will unite
the English congregations in com
mon body, and at the same time keep
the matter of the English question liv-
ing before the people and endeavor
to advance the work wherever eN-
pedient.
The question of an Independent
conference was discussed and it was
the opinion of the writer of the pa
per. as il was the opinion of the
whole body. that as far as the work
has hitherto progressed and under
present circumstances such an indie
pendent conference is impracticabl"
Rather the second resolution of the
committee appointed by the synod
to draw up a plan of procedure ia
our English work was thought to
be the most feasible, viz: that the
English congregations form them
selves into an informal body and ar
range for meetings to be held in
their respective churches on a plat
similar to that of orr district meet
ings. Such meetings have been ar
ranged by the English pastors of tn;
Illinois conference during the com
ing year.
With regard to the third resolu
ton, the writer thought that mort
direct and better results could h'
obtained if special secretary oi

ENGLISH IN THE CHURCHES.
Conference of Pastors of Lutheran Synod is Held in
Rock Island.

superintendent of the English home
mission field were elected by the syn
ID. 1t was contended that one per-
son. who would thus devote all his
time to the work, would accomplish
more than could the many persons
constituting a board, who do not
come in direct contact and touch
with the work.
How can we secure better statis-
teal knowledge of the English work
actually done among u.s.? was the
subject of paper by Rev.Nothstein.
II would be very desirable indeed If
by some arrangement tolerably accur-
are statistics as to the English work
could be obtained.
Among other papers and topics dis
cussed were: The English Ian
guage as Missionary Opportunity,
-'Augustana Hymnal,'' English Work
n Our Colleges and Academies
'Augustana Journal" devotional
Reading Matter" The discussion
that followed the reading of these
papers opened up the real and inn
mediate needs of oIT English work
and what we have so far done to
meet those needs.
1t was decided that the English
pastors of the Illinois conference
hold meeting in the Messiah church
of Chicago, Oct. 3 and 81. 1t was
also decided that the Minnesota
brethren care for the English inter
ests in that conference as they fin.l
eXpedient.
The next annual meeting will be
held in the Emanuel English Luther
an church of Rockford.
The secretary of the meeting wa@
instructed to prepare and publish a
complete history as possible of the
English work in our synod. The see
rotary would therefore ask the pas
tors of our synod i'm whose churches
English work is carried on kindly t.
submit report of the work that has
been done, and is now being done il

A FIRE AT THE ARSENAL
One with singular Features wednesday
Afternoon

Afternoon
There was fire at Rock Island ar
senaI Wednesday afternoon. 1t broke
out in. the roof structure of the
foundry at about half past 3 o'clock
The fire department of the post was
prompt to get to the scene of trou-
BILE, and the water would have been
playing on the flames in a few min
utes if the efforts of the fire fighters
had not been hindered by no less a
person than Maj Blunt, command
ant, himself.
1t happened that inside the burn
ing building the molders were just at
that time engaged in pouring off
delicate and important piece of cast
ing. To throw cold water on il and
them would be discouraging. and 4
might result in an explosion that
would main or kill the men. and -
almost certainly would ruin the
casting. 1t was evident that the fire
would not do great damage in the
few minutes that the department
would have to wait till that operation
was complete. so the major held the
firemen back till the molders had &c:
through. Then the fire was knocked
out. The case is one that is unique
in local fire department annals.

CHILD AT CAMBRIDGE
MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH

Horrible. indeed, was the fate of
the little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Kepple at her home near Cambridge
Tuesday. Playing about in childish
glee, and filling the house with sun
shine; then suddenly called by grim
death, her little body fearfuliy torn
and bleeding.
The little girl was killed Tuesday
afternoon as the result of an accident
for which no one is to blame. AZ
many children are apt to do. the
child was playing with pair of sciS-
sors. admiring thier shining surface
and sharp edge. Carrying the scis-
sors in one hand. she started to run
tripping and fell upon the cruel
blades which entered her stomach,
fearfully tearing the flesh.
The girl was picked up unconscious
and the scissors withdrawn from the
nuivering body-an act which was
followed by a rush of blood. In a
few minutes in spite of all human
aid. the child was dead. The funeral
was held yesterday when a large
number of friends gathered to paw
their last tribute of love to the child.

withdraw our troops from their island and
allow them a measure Of self-government,
and we condemn the Republican party for
it's failure to fully comply with the con-

est shame and regret that, through the
apostacy of the Republican party, the peo-
pie Of the United States are, by our i'm
perialistic policy in the Philippines, placed
before the world in the false position of re-
pudating the most cherished fundamental
principles Of our government. and our
