What About IL?

The Scho oil Bulletin, issued by
Prof, Rogers, School Com mis-,
sioner of Monroe County, publish
es the following;
What about Rural School Con
solidation! Has the condition of
the roads for the past few months
convinced you that is impracti-
CALI Not with us. We believe
stronger in the plan than ever be-
fore. Already it is being dis
cussed in different parts of the
county. 1t is but a question of a
very short time until the outlying
weak districts will vote to be ad-
mitted to the village or city dis
trict whe re they can get better ad-
vantage and in turn help to
strengthen the village or city
school aud make it a first class
high school. If you cannot read
the signs of the times in the pres
ent educational movements and
clearly see that consolidation is
the only possible solution to both
the road and the school problem,
then, Just patiently bide the time
for ten years and be eonvin eed.
But what would be better and
wiser plan is to begin now to in
vestigate earnestly and see fol
yourself how feasible the plan.

THAT NEW r. r.
The message Gave the Pub
lie a Point or Two
Last week.

Reports are rife as to that new
railroad from Mexico leading into
st. Louis. The MESSAGE had a
word or two last week. Last Fri
day the Optic News published the
following;
Coils. A. w. Newton and s. A,
Ashley, locating engineers for the

pany, came in on the "com" Tues
day morning, secured a team from

struction Co., Davenport, Ia, met
Mr.. Newton, locating engineer Of
the proposed new road on We'd
nesday evening and accompanied
him to Mexico, for the purpose of
going over Mr.. Newton's map and
prOfiles before putting in bid for
the construction of the road. Mr..

CHRISTIAN COLLEGE.
An AudFaIn Boy Has a Few
Words-The Building
Burned.

Canton, Mo-, Mar. "a, 19OS.-
EDITOR MESSAGE: Believing you
a friend of all institutions of learn
ing and that the friends of Chris
tian University living in dear old
Audrain should hear of the disas-
trous calamity which has befallen
this old institution of grand repu-
tation, | take the liberty to pen
you a few lines, in the interest of
Christian University, that they
way know. The Christian Univer-
sity burned to the ground yester-
day, March %, at 1880 o'clock,
having stood the blasts for over
fifty years. The fire started from
a spark from the furnace fiue
which lodged in the dome.
The Christian University was
built iu 1850. 1t was notable
feature of the charter that it
granted to women a co.equal and
coordinate education with men.
This was the first original charter
in the United States to embody
this advanced provision. During
the war she was used for a gov
ernment hospital. She has sent
out over the country a great many
ministers who are very active to-
day in the cause of Christ.
Hundreds of teachers, professors,
editors, physicians, and jurists
who were educated at G. U. will
spmpathize with us in our loss.
Audrain county has been great
ly blessed from the work of this
institution, a number of her boys
having been educated here.
There is an effort being made to
erect another building which will
cost $4,000. 1t is stated that the
new College will be erected by
September 1st.
Altho the College burned down
the students and faculty are de-
termined not to stop but will con
tinue for the next two months in
the different churches of the city.
The Christian, M. E., Baptist,
Episcopal churches are opened
to us, and regardless of difficulties
school will continue. The cost Of
the old building was $4,000; in
sured for only $4,000.
Wishing the MESSAGE much
success and sending greetings to
all my friends in Audrain, l re-
main,
Yours very respt.,

THE POEM OF LIFE
IN THE FOOTPRINTS
OF PROVIDENCE.
BY TON BENTON.
CHAPTER ANCESTRY AND
INFANCY.

INFANCY.
The Bible, the Book of God, be-
gins with the Genisis Of the HeaY-
ems and Earth, closing this part
with the geanealOgy Of Adam who
was the son of God. Except Mel
chisidec, Bible biographies begin
with giving the name of the par
ent. Following this precedent we
give the genealogy Of David Moses.
Captain William II. Moses was
of Scotch descent. In the latter
part of the eighteenth century we
iud them in the State of Virginia.
From this state William came to
Bourbon county. Kentucky, locat-
ing near Paris. His wife was of
German extraction; her maiden
name was Rachel Spears. God
blessed the family for they had
lands and slaves, and could give
much time to travel and mental
culture. After selling their pos
sessions in Kentucky they moved
to Boone county, Missouri, near
the town of Columbia. The family
consisted, besides father and
mother, of VIM. H. Jr., who
moved after marriage to the west
ern part of the state, dying COM
paratively young, leaving several
sons and daughter, among them
Robert T. and Joel.
Jacob S., who lived out his
three score and ten years with his
beloved wife, Paulina Payne adj
joining the old homestead.
Noah S. who died in early mau-
hood.
John I. M, the father of David,
whom God took to himself in 1876,
age 54 years.
Eliza, the Oldest daughter, mar
ried Captain David NJ. Hickman,
leaving three sons, VIM. T., DAY.
id 81. and James L. Hickman.
Elvira married Robert S. Thorn
as. a teacher in Bonne Femme
College; afterward professor in
the State University, and the first
President of William Jewell Col
lege.
Nancy, married Moss Prewitt, a
banker of Columbia, Mo.
Margaret NJ married Eli E.
Bass, the most prosperous farmer
in the county at that time.
Sarah, married the late James
S. Keen of Audrain county, Mo.
Emily, married Richard c.
Branham, a merchant of Columbia
Mo-, who was drowned in the
Gulf of Mexico, near Galveston,
Texas. The ship on which he
was returning home having burned
al sea.
These niue children left families
Noah S. having never married.
Dayid's father attended
Bonne Femme College aud after
wards the State University which
at first had to compete with Bonn e
Femme College, a school of high
grade, with preparatory and col
legiate departments, located about
eight miles south of Colombia on
a lot adjoining Little BOnne
Femme Baptist church.
This school was patronized by
Captain Moses, David NJ. Hick-
man, FheodOric jenkins, whose
daughter became Mrs Mary Barr
Hardin, wife Of Gov. Chas. II.
Hardin, Mason Moss, VIM. Barr
aud other enterprising settlers of
that early day.
When the State University was
founded, Captain Moses family,
including sons aud sons-in-law,
gave one eigth of the entire
amount subscribed to secure its
location in Columbia, Captain
Moses had a neighbor whose farm
was only a mile distant, named
Joseph Rivers. His Oldest child

who stood at the head of her clas-
es in the neighborhood school,
called Grindstone Academy. She
had dark hair, gray-blue yes,
rather a prominent nose and what
is termed firm-set mouth. This
young lady was vivacious and wit
ty, but exceptionally spiritual and
self-possessed. John Moses fell so
desperately in love with the maid
en- that he proposed marriage tho
only nineteen, while she was his
junior by three years. The great
est difficulty then was to get the
consent of their parents, for both
were too well trained in religious
principles to think of running
away. After much persuasion
their parents consented under
protest; so in lS43, John, at 20,
and Minerva at II were united in
the holy bands of matrimony. In
January, 1845, at the home of Jo-
seph Rivers, about three miles
south of Columbia, David Moses
first saw the sweet light of day.
His father was as proud of his boy
as Abraham was of Isaac, while
his mother felt like Hannah of old,
that she wanted to dedicate the
child to the Lord aslong as he liv-
eth. Captain Moses had given his
youngest son, John, one hundred
and twenty acres of land, and
family of negroes. John built a
small twO-stOry frame house, be-
sides negro ihouse, or cabins,
they were called, though often of
nice brick structures.
In February, 1S47, little sister
came to cheer David, and on Au-
80, 184S. a second boy arrived
and in June, 1851, Jabez came.
So now David, Estker aRRd
Jabez Rea busy mother Gs
and, hearta 1t constant work t6 sup
ply their real and imaginary wants.
Among the many who were
seized with the gold fever of 1849
was 184S was Joseph Rivers.
Among the first of David's mem
Ories was the big wagon with its
peculiar long bed, low in the cen
ter and curved so as to float like a
boat in crossing the rivers. The
six horses with Grandfather Rivers
holding the lines and his uncle
William hardly grown taking fare
well, to cross the plains, was a
picture not easily forgotten.
David's mother had taught him
with his first lesson in language
two prayers-the Lords prayer in
verse:
Our father in heaven,
We hallow thy name;
May thy kingdom holy
On earth be the same;
Oh, give to us daily
Our portion of bread,
1t is from thy bounty
That all must be fed.
Forgive our transgressionS
And teach us to know
That humble compassion
That pardOnS each foe:
Lead us not into temptation,
But keep us from sin,
And thine be the glory
Forever, Amen.
Also
Now lay me down to sleep,
pray thee Lord my soul to keep.
If should die before l wake,
pray thee Lord my soul to take,
And this ask for Jesus sake.
Amen.
His father began the morning
by singing
The morning bright with rosy light
Hath walked me from my sleep;
Father. own thy love alone,
Thy little one doth keep.
All thru the day humbG pray
BE thou my guard and guide,
My sins forgive and let me live,
Blest Jesus, near thy side.
The Bible was the one book
loved by all.
