TIE CONTINUAL COVENANT.

BY Rev. lOmaS Yates.
Text.-'The Lord made not this
covenant with our fathers, but with US,
ever us, who are all of us here alive
this day. The Lord talked with you
face to face."-Deut. v:3, 4.
According to the Hebrew speech that
word should read, "The Lord made not
this covenant with our fathers only,
but with u.s." They had their inter-
view with God, but the point Of empha-
sis is that with us also the Lord speaks
face to face, and that with is He has
His covenant. The past has not used
up all Gods power, neither has it end
ed Gods desire to utter himself to the
children of men. So let me. beg you
to ring out the emphasis on the per-
sonal pronouns of this text, for that
is where it's message lies. THE Lord
made not this covenant only with our
fathers, but with us, ever us, who are
all of us here alive this day. The
Lord talketh with you face to face
New may be the old over again. It
may be conditioned by the old. 1t
may be made possible by the old; and
you cannot have a right religion that
is only a Renaissance. "The Lord
spake with you"
We may hear-even us who are
alive at this day-may hear the voice
of God as surely as Noses, and Abra-
ham, and Isaiah, and Paul, and John.
Thank God for light; watch md pray
eyermore. Tor God is speaking to us
in u own %vernacular. There are
many kinds Of voices, and not one Of
them is without Specification. They
are all conscience. They are our guide
through the movements of our life, we
cannot live on the faith of yesterday.
Let us thank God that the sweep of
the age current has rolled in and COW
cred the religious realm, and that to-
day men are running and asking. Let
us look and wait and pray for the
faith that is to be delivered unto us,
even US, who are all Of us alive this
day; to feel u own life quick with
the presence Of God; to know that
through the channels of our life Gods
life is pulsating; to be sensitive and
alert and eager in mind and heart,
that the living Christ may impart unto
us His other things.

RIOT AT BALLPARK'
Davenport Crowd Fieeced OF 20
Cents Per, Goes Out
After Revenge.
TEARS DOWN TICKET OFFICE
Incensed Because Grounds Were Not
Lighted for Game Between Bloom
err Girls and Game Wardens.

The Boston blOomer girls who play
ed ball in this city several weeks ago
and have since been travelling up and
down the river meeting teams i'll towns
along the wet highway, figured i'll a
small riot at the Davenport ball park
last evening. The boomers were adj
vertised to meet the Game Wardens in
an evening contest and some 600 en-
thusiasts went to the park, attracted
by the novelty of the thing. They paid
20 cents admission each.
Arrangements had been made to light
the park by electricity, but when near
~ time to call the game ii was found
there was something wrong with the
Illuminating system. \ hurry up cali
for electricians was sent in and the
crowd asked to remain till the defects
were repaired.
Try tO Get Money Back.
After an hour or so the fans became
restless and along about 10 o'clock
when the lights were still out of COM
mission a movement was made by
some to get their money back. This,
however, was refused, on the ground
that the lights would soon be fixed and
the game begun. About 1890 the fury
of the mob broke loose. The ticket of
flee was attacked and torn down The
boomer girls attempted to escape from
the grounds, but angry men held the
horses attached to their hack and
would not permit them to move.
A riot call was sent in and a patrol
wagon load of policemen soon reached
the scene and chased the crowd, per
hitting the girls to go to their boat
But the promoters kept the money.
