BLOWS PAS MONEY
Officer Escorts Son of Rock
Island Business Man Back
From Chicago.
MEETS HIS -cHARMER THERE
Goes for a Visit without Consulting
Pareptg-Same Old
Story.

The son of a Rock Island business
man returned from Chicago Saturday
evening accompanied by member
of the local police department.
1t was the old stOry-an affair of
the heart. Her home is in the big city
by the lake. She was employed in this
city for about a year. They became
acquainted here. II is said they have
been married for months, but that the
parents of the young man will not
recognize the girl.
The boy unceremoniously dropped
out of sight one day last week. He
had been uneasy since his charmer
left the city. His parents noticed it.
They tried to induce him to forget,
but there was no use. He and the
girl had their Thanksgiving dinner to-
gether in Chicago.
Took Some of Fathers Funds.
He took along plenty of money to
defray the expenses of the trip. The
funds belonged to his father. The
latter was angry. He did not mean
to be unduly harsh with his son, but
he proposed teaching him a lesson.
If he wished money he must obtain it
in a legitimate way. Anyway. he
would not stand for blowing in the
| receipts of his business on a girl that
was not to the liking of the parents.
The father knew just about where
he could locate his son. The officer
was furnished with all needed infor-
maticn, and an argument of sufficient
strength to persuade him to come
| back home.
The couple were stopping at a Chi
cago hotel when the officer dropped
in on them. They were surprised, of
course, but the young man finally
consented to return

A Good Name.

From personal experience I testify
that DeWitt's Little Early Risers are
unequaled as liver pill. They are
rightly named because they give
strength and energy and do their
work with ease.-W. T. Easton, Boerne,
Texas. Thousands of people are using
these tiny little pills in preference to
all others, because they are so pleas
ant and effectual. They cure bilious
ness, torpid liver. jaundice. sick head
ache, constipation, etc. They do not
purge and weaken, but cleanse and
strengthen. Sold by all druggists.

and sovereignty of the one living and
true God The proclamation OF the one
God, creator Of all and bestower of all,
struck at the practical atheism of the
epiCureans and at the polytheism OF
the masses. Paul told them that the
God he spoke for was the Creator. the
Preserver, the Father. and the Judge
of all
g The spirituality and -suf1cIency
of God. No earthly temple can hold
him; no image can represent him; no
material hands can handle him or keep
him We can give the great Giver only
our love and our lives The folly of
idoIatry shown.
i. The unity and brotherhood of the
human family. This is a purely Bible
doctrine.
.. The purposes of individual and
national life: to seek after God, that
each and all may find him. This is the
philosophy of life and history. "Indi-
vidUals and nations are what and where
they are in order thai they may seek
and find the unseen Cause of all. Ma
ttt4-dl lALS WIN rs ECO5A a pAAitdA anu
chronological conditions, is a divine
appointment. The material is the seat
folding for the spiritual. Though men
are to seek after Him. that does not
mean that He Is remote or hard to find;
for He is near to Us all. nearer than we
are TO ourselves: round Us like an
ocean or an atmosphere in which we
float"
:. Repentance, or a determination TO
live right toward Cod God is judge
and will test every mans heart and
work Get ready for the judgment by
repenting Repentance is the only door
of peace with God Repentance was q
new word to the Greeks.
: The doctrine OF the resurrection.
The first was ChTist-s. His resurrection
is the proof OF His divinity and au-
thority. and the reality OF life beyond
the grave, and the immortality and dig
nifty Of human nature. The results of
Paul'5 preaching were: I. \ sheer from
some >. Curiosity mixed with pro-
obedience from others.
So long as Paul dealt with logic and
appealed to reason he was listened 10,
but when he would reveal the necessity
Of repentance and would lift the veil
upon the future judgment. he was
sneered a by men who turned away.
Today. wn N the preacher is coldly ar
gumentative or forceful in reason, he
is popuIar:i but let him fasten upon
the conscienee and bear upon the hard
coverings OF prejudice and ingrained
sin, and it Us another story. AS to
the procrastir ators. we may politely de-
clare that We will hear again, but there
is often no hearing again. Athens did
not hear this peerless preacher of Jesus
and the resurrection any more.
