dition Exists Here as in Larger
Communities.

Rev. Charles B. Boving, D. D..
spoke before large audiences at both
the morning and evening services yes
terday at the Central Presbyterian
chapel.
Both the morning and evening
themes We're handled ythe speaker
in so direct and forceful manner
that they appealed to the audience
with the result desired.
During his evenings sermon, Rev.
Boving said:
you citizens of Rock Island are
countenancing the white slave traffic.
You have it in the same ration of
population as the larger cities do.
What are you parents of the city of
Rock Island doing to prepare your
sons and daughters against the awful
onslaughter of the devil and his host?
Your secret sins. and you have many
of them in this city, will find you
out"
Rev. Boving's subject this evening

Life" Tomorrow afternoon he will
discuss Pillars in the Church" Fri

is identified by name or localized.
The natural and legal parents OF
our blessed Saviour went to Bethle-
hem, the city of David, their tribal
center, to be taxed And it is said
to be true of Christians that their
names are written in heaven. We
shall answer the final roll call there,
and receive thence the mark of a
new name. When we make free
choice and sincere profession of re-
ligion, we give in our names as it
were as applicants for recognition as
subjects in that realm of light.
Supreme Authority.
Again, the only center, source
and seat of authority before which
we bow in absolute subsection is the
throne of heaven. We test all laws
by the law OF God, and have no re-
gard for such human DEGREES as
would subvert the divine commands.
No sort of concession, for example,
can make the dissertation of His holy
day lawful; and no amount of license
granted can make that which is
wrong right. Yet iniquity penalized
by custom imagines itself legitimate.

our prince and ruler, the worthy son
of the king of kings, the head of the
church, and the captain of our sal
walton. 1t is He that we salute with
our worship. All kingdoms are to be
annexed to His empire. Bring forth
the royal diadem, and crown Him
lord of all o, what hymns are
worthy of heaven and it's glories,
our home land. In that celestial
country, enriched with all that shall
make eternity delightful, is estab-
lished the kingdom which shall know
no decline or fall. In the midst of
it is the holy city in reality. And
in that city is the kings palace and
the home of many mansions. Out
from that promised land come al
ready our richest provisions, giving
us foretaste of the feast prepared
for our souls. The hosts of angels
that minister now to US for defense
and preservation. come forth from
there and return thither as the army
of our Lord. Our dignity and pre-
negatives are bestowed from heaven
our treasures are laid up there, our
honors and rewards await us there,
our hopes are as anchors fixed in
that mist-veiled haven Our highest
interests are there. 1t is no mere
poetic fancy or idle dream that our
citizenship is in heaven.
Clear Proof.
Consider also the proof of this
claim to heavenly citizenship. Such
boast must be given adequate dem
onstration. We must recognize that
our feet are on the ground still, even
if we do hold our heads high in the
air. Our bodies are upon the earth,
although our thoughts and hearts
are chiefly occupied with heavenly
matters. The citizen of heaven is not
mystical, visionary, impractical
dreamer, superior to the obligations

FROM COUNTY JAIL
TO INSANE ASYLUM
August DeBout Indicted and Convict
ed of Assault Sent to Water
town.

August De Bout, indicted by the
January grand jury on a charge of as
sault with a deadly weapon, was or
dered committed to Watertown hos
pital for the insane after a trial before
Judge R W. Olmsted in the county
court this morning. De Bout attacked
a friend not long ago and attempted
to do him bodily injury with a large
jack knife. At the time of his trial
before the police magistrate it was
thought that he was demented and he
was sent to the county Jail for 20 days
more to keep him out of trouble
than to have him indicted by the
grand jury. 1t is believed that he will
regain his reason with the treatment
such as will be accorded him in au
institution for the insane Several
days ago De Bout was fined 500 and
costs by the county Judge and the ap-
plication for a trial Of his sanity soon
followed.

Ten Doctors
Said He Would Die

In 1908 we wrote you regard
ing my husband, who was suf-
fering from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
Georgian Conference. Ten doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised DR..
Miles Heart Remedy and Re
storative Nervine; we did as
advised, and Improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him a charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal of camp meeting
work. I am so glad we tool
your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that I ought
to let you know of the wonder
full good results from its use"
MRS. T. S. EDWARDS,
Miner, Ga.
This proves what DR.. Miles
Heart Remedy will do. Get a
bottle from your druggist and
take it according to directions.
1t does not matter whether your
heart is merely weak, or you
have organic trouble, if it does
not benefit you take the empty
bottle to your druggist and get
your money back.

of this life. AS a citizen of heaven
he must make good in this world at
present.
What is the crying need of this
hour? What is the tombstone just
now Of heavenly citizenship? l find
two tests TO apply to every such
claim, one in the church and the 9TH
er in the state, two magic words on
which hang so much today. missions
and temperance. You who profess
to love God with your whole heart,
soul, mind, and strength; how much
do you love your neighbor and fell
bowman? There is sweeping over
our country this year a movement
designed to create a revival of inter
est in Christian missions, and to in
crease MANIFOLD the church's offer
ings for it's chief work, the spread Of
the gospel in the darker parts of the
earth. In Providence one of the
great conventions comes within our
reach soon. By your eagerness for
that opportunity, and your result
ant growth in missionary benevo-
lence, you may vindicate your claim
to worthy citizenship in the kingdom
Of heaven.
Aggressive Temperance.
THE other proposition is in a
sense even nearer home. 1t is the
present local option crisis. We need
not discuss the saloon iniquity; 1t is
past discussion. 1t is only tolerated
now because we are accustomed to
It. II Is only feared for its power.
1t is as cunning as the savage and
as merciless as the beast of prey,
reckless now in its extremity. What
is your attitude towards it as a
Christian patriot? 1t thrives by him
dering your work and mine as a min

might have a free hand.
