course work being done by the extern
sion department of Iowa State College,
Ames, will appear before the legisla-
tive committee on appropriations in

Went to Des Mcines this morning to
appear before the committee. The state
has already appropriated $4,000 for
this extension work of the state COL

asked for so that the demand for short

department conducted fifteen short
courses during the present winter. 1t

| A Masonic temple, to be built dur
Temple Association, was assured at the
mass meeting of the fraternity held
Saturday night. Today leading MEM
bers of the lodge and building asso-
citation say that there is no longer any
doubt regarding the building project,
and that the erection of the temple has
become a certainty.
The officers and board of directors
of the building association, who are in
charge of the building project, will be-
gin at once to consider plans for the
temple, which will probably be four
stories in height, with a frontage COW
ering the entire width of the property
1t will require a number of weeks be-
fore plans can be prepared in detail.
Almost $4,000 in Stock Subscribed.
An officer of the association said to-
day that close to $4,000 in stock had
been subscribed by members of the
fraternity, and it was expected that by
the time the entire membership had
been canvassed that this amount
would be greatly increased.
This same source of information was
authority for the statement that since
the stock subscriptions had passed the
$4,000 mark, the building was as
sured. Fifty thousand is the amount
fixed as the probable cost of the build
ing. Whatever is needed over and
above the amount of the stock sub
scriptions will be secured by floating
mortgage bonds on the building 1t is
said that an offer has already been
made for this issue.

value of christianity in their lives. Mr..

testimony regarding the help it had
been to him during his whole life to
be christian. He also read letter
from friend of his who is prom
inent citizen in Sharon, Pa, where
Rev. w. A. Sunday held series of
meetings one year ago. in which he
said that the people of Sharon are still
amazed and in wonder at the great re-
suits that came from the meetings
there, and that they are still feeling
the effects of the uplift and inspira-
ton, people being enthusiastically at
tending religious services. and are COM
ing into the various churches every

Mr. Sinclair, the father of B. w.
Sinclair who has been here visiting
his son during the winter. and who
has taken an enthusiastic part in the

that there was no asset in a mans life

Christ, and that the thing which
brought him the greatest comfort now
was that after life of three score
years and ten. lived in peace and hap

REV. SMITH TAKES EVIDENCE OF
DAVID AND SOLOMON ON
"vERDIcT OF LIFE"
NO LASTING SATISFACTION
COMES FROM PUBLIC LIFE
Only Honors Worth Having Come From
God, Declares Speaker-Wants city's
Streets Clean and Safe for Boys and
GirIs-Testimony Given in Closing
Big Mems Meeting.

The mems meeting in the east court
room yesterday was one of the best
meetings held this year. The attend
ance was large, and the singing was
excellent. A beautiful trombone solo
was given by Mr. John Jeanette. of
the soldiers home. Rev. Merle n.
Smith addressed the men on the SUBJ
ject. The Verdict of Life" as based
on the evidence of Solomon and Da-
vid in book of Ecclesastes and the
twenty-third psalm. He said in part
as follows:
down hill at last. The last chapter of
the story ought to he the best. Old
age is only harvest time. DO men
gather grapese or thistles?' 1t was no
accident that Benedict Arnold's last
days We're full of horror. Solomon here
reminds us of Napolean on ST. Helena.
There was nothing behind but ashes,
nothing ahead but death. Three things
follow from the case of Solomon: First,
that public position can not satisfy a
man. This remark is for the benefit of
both Mr. Stanton and MIR. Ingledue.
Ask the men who have gone thru the
public life of the last forty years what
they think of public honors, and they
will say ashes, ashes 1t is we'll by
honesty, by integrity, by character to
seek the suffrages of ones fellow men,
but public office affords no permanent
satisfaction. The only honors worth
having are those that come from God.
See also here the tragic ending of
the life of sinful pleasure. Solomon
ruled a wide empire, but he never mas
tered himself. Wine and women were
his undoing, like many another. A
candle burned to the socket, that is
Solomon. The sin of voluptuousness
has sunk nations. Witness the days
of the decline and fall of the Roman
empire, when gray-haired senators
dallied with golden locks. America
trembles under the weight of this sin.
Intellects shattered. bodies exhausted
and loathsome, and souls damned for
time and eternity, make up the tale of
tragedy and woe. Wendell Phillips
said "the streets of Boston are mex
pressi'bly dear to me; they are too sac
red to be pressed by the feet of a
slave We ought to see to it that the
streets Of Marshalltown are clean and
safe for our boys and girls.
David has had God for his captain,
and that is what every life needs. God
is the great word in history, the great
word in experience, in the bible, in
science, in literature, in business, in
politics, and in conscience. The big
gest word in life's vocabulary, nobody |
