years and has held meetings in all

work of an orphans home for children
in Illinois. She gave a plain and in

Chri tan Church.

The Bible school had a program be-
hitting Independence Day. Dr. Kizor,
the new president of Oskaloosa col
lege, gave a short address at the clos
ing hour. The attendance was little
less than 300 and the offering above
$500. The progress toward complet-
ing the three additinoal class rooms
for men in the east basement of the
church is progressing finely and will
soon be ready for occupancy.
The pastors morning address was
on the famous Declaration and Ad-
dress OF Thomas Campbell" written
more than century ago. Mr.. Camp
bell had been communicated from
the Seceder branch of the Presbyter-
ian church because he had invited
Christian men and women from other
religious bodies to commune with his
people. He carried the decision to
the North American Synod, claiming
that he had not violated the plain
teaching of the sacred scriptures on
that subject With this contention
this ecclesiastical court agreed, but de-
cided that the decision of the lower
|synods must stand because as a min
lister of that church he had violated
THE confession of faith of that body.
With this decision Mr.. Campbell and
many of his charge denied the SUI
premacy of human creeds and adopted
as their motto, Where the Scriptures
speak we speak and where the Scrip
lures are silent we are silent" This
declaration with the supremacy of the
clear teachings OF Christ in all mat
ters of conscience, above synods or
councils, was the basic principles of
his later teaching and those who
shared his views. Two young people
responded to the Invitation. Rev.
Zendt's evening sermon was from the
text. proclaim Liberty Through All
the Land and Unto All the Inhabitants
Thereof" 1t was an address on the
different phases of liberty and held
the attention of his hearers to the
close.

Rev. w. C. Rutherford, recently Of
Orion. Ills, began his pastorate at the
First Baptist church in this city Sun
day morning. The services was large
ly attended and the work started off
in most encouraging manner The
pastor took for his text the first verse
of the 125th Psalm, "They that trust
In the. Lord shall be as Mount Zion,
which can not be removed, but abid-
eth forever" His subject was "The
Immortality of Them that Believeth
In the Lord" He exhorted the church
to have faith in God and trust to his
loving kindness and tender mercies
Following the sermon Rev. Rutherford
addressed few remarks to the con
gregation as an Introduction to his
work, asking for their assistance in
starting the plans off Alright and ex
pressing his confidence in the pros
poets for greater things to be accom-
plished by the Baptist church in Oska
loosa.

to see whether it was warm, but ev-

The town of Colquitt, down in
Miller county, has had an interesting
visitor. The Miller County Liberal
tells about him as follows:
This week there was a stalwart
man in the city.
AT one meal down at Stanton's
near beer stand he sucked four dozen
raw eggs and tried to get up bet
that he could add two more dozen to
that number.
He said his name was Thomas
Barnes. He seems to be an expert
forger of checks.
He would buy something like five
or ten dollars worth of merchandise,
hand the merchant worthless check
for ten or twenty-five dollars, receive
the overplus in cash, tell the mer-
chant he would call for the goods
later, leave and never return.
After sWindling numbers here he
went to Bainbridge and we hear he
played his game even more success
fully down there.
