paster after church and instead Of say.
ing II enjoyed that Sermon say Il
heard your profound revelation of the
word of God and promise you that l
will try to live 1t as nearly as possible
and want you to pray for me-" What
effect would that have on the COM
munity? 1t would revolutionize hui
man society.
The fourth petition In the prayer Is:
Give us this day our daily bread.r 1t
means everything material in exist
ence. Bread seemed like the most
important thing in life so we ask for
bread. For the debasement and deg
radiation Of men and women, nothing
Is worse than liquor for which more
than S2,000,000,000 was spent last
year. 1t never did any one any good
and it did many great deal of harm.
Keep men from hurting themselves.
No man has a right to damage himself
He must keep himself whole for the
sake of himself and other men
Forgive US our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against u.s.
is the fifth petition in this great theme
Social life is full of useless struggle
and battle that is not worth while. 1t
is unharmonious because socially We
are all different "Sissyism' in social.
ism is not expected but let us have
the forgiving spirit.
Lead us not into temptation, is the
sixth petition. Can a man pray this
and yet leave the door Of the saloon
open? The hundreds of men who were
in Keokuk saloons Saturday night
were being lead into temptation. The
young man who knows so little of the
world who may fall into association
with bad women and men and his life
spoiled forever, is endangered when
these places are allowed to exist
Deliver us from evil" the finest pc

should be, we should endeavor to get
right with God. We never know what
Is right because men say it is right.
We want to know the will of God be-
fore We start out to do anything. Our
standard of right is not what the ma
jority think. 1t Is what the heart
dictates. A great many social stirs,
hysterias and movements are going
backward because of no knowledge Of
the heavenly God. Our foundation is
in God. We never will make society
right only on the basis of what God
wants, We must know that men want
the basis of right life, then we can
help them God is the foundation of
all true social orders. "Thy kingdom
come on earth as 1t is in heaven" is
the second petition. The kingdom of
God is heaven, that social order where
God is revered. The soul and secret
of this petition is not that heaven will
come by and by so much, but that
we may go from heavenly condition
In this world.
Suppose that this city should be-
come as near like heaven as we can
make it. Would you want it like
Burlington, Minneapolis, Des Moines,
st. Louis? No, we would want to
have our city of as many population
as water power, as nearly like heaven
as possible.
Thy will be done on earth as it
is in heaven We all have more will
than we really need When we pray
this petition, We want done what we
pray One can't be expected to do
Gods will unless we can find out from
nature and history, somewhat but
mostly from the holy spirit. The great
idea is this prayer is not only that we
know the will of God, but that we do
it.
Suppose that we should go to the

Steamboat Men Would Raise Protest,
1t is Said, If City Put Con-

Front Here.

Rlvermen Who Say HulIs Would be

Ing Would Prove More
ServIceabIe.

Should the city attempt to carry
into effect, plans for the building Of
double sea-wall on the river front,
rumor has 1t that the commissioners
will meet with protests from the
steamboat companies. Recently, the
mayor and other city officials have
visited the levee district to study with
the aid Of engineers, Major M. Meigs,
U. S. G. E., among them, the most
feasible plan for improving the levee
which is greatly in need of better
| frontage.
Among the plans for leveling the
river front and giving to 1t gradual
slope that would improve appearances
as well as the roadway for wagon
traffic. is one which provides for the
building of double sea wall. The
front one of these concrete walls
which would be built at the low water
stage, would inconvenience steam
boats, in that the hard wall top and
sides would play havoc with the bulls
of water craft and be damaging to a
stern or side wheel boat, in case of
wind or running to landing:
The sea wall at Winona, Wis, has
proven itself to be menace to boats,
liz is said and steamers are often
forced to lie in the harbor at Red
Wing when stops of any length are
to be made.
Steamboat officials are of the opin-
on that should a wharf similar to that
at ST. Louis, and the one now being
built at Davenport, would serve the
needs of levee front Improvement ana
extensive traffic much better than a
double sea wall, filled in behind with
dirt. The st. Louis and Davenport
levees are paved with stone. The
latter city is now having built a large
levee of stone which when completed
will cost 100000.

The strangest fact is that this premier milk

we save you the cost of the daily delivery.
