IN union SERVICE

\ union fellowship service will be
held in Broadway Presbyterian
church tomorrow evening IN which
Broadway, Central Presbyterian
and the South Park Presbyterian
churches will unite. The services
will be in the nature of a farewell and
God speed to the SO members who are
Withdrawing from Broadway church
to form the new South Park church.
South Park chapel for many years has
been a branch of Broadway church and
Rev. w G.. Oglevee. assistant pastor Of
Broadway, has been directly in charge
OF the worl. in that congregation. Re
Gently the presbytery concurred in
the withdrawal of the South Park con-
gregation from Broadway and in the
/ establishment Of a separate church
with Rev. Mr.. Oglevee as the pastor.
Central Presbyterian is the mother
church of Broadway and Broadway is
now the mother church of South
Park and it is eminently fitting that
the three churches unite in this ser
vice. Rev. Marion Humphreys of
Central. DR.. W. S Marquis of Broad.
way and Rev w. G. Oglevee of South
Parg will deliver addresses, inter.
spersed with musical numbers by the
church choir and solo numbers, at the
services tomorrow evening.

wee will be he'd next Friday evening
at the South Park church. Rev Mr.

ing, Rev. w. S. Marquis will deliver
the charge TO the people and Rev
Samuel Ollerenshaw of Mediapolis
Iowa, will deliver the charge to the
pastor and Rev. Mr.. Hanna of Milan

GERMAN CHURCH
IN NEED OF AID
Edifice of Evangelical Congre.
cation Stands Half Com
pleted.

There Is being erected on the corner
of Twelfth street and Twelfth avenue
church that upon its completion will
be credit not only to the congrega-
ton that has undertaken It's building
but also to the city Of which 1t 10 a
part. The members of the German
Evangelical church have undertaken
to build this house Of worship and
have worked hard and faithfully to
realize their hope of a permanent wor-
shipping place. The church which.
when finished will cost $4,000, stands
half completed and the members find
themselves handicapped In its building
by the lack Of funds. The congrega-
ton is composed largely Of working
people of meager means and they
have more than contributed their por-
ton to the building fund. The church
is Rock Island product, It was de-
signed by a local architect, the con-
tracts were awarded to local contrac-
tors andsall the material has been pur-
chased right in the city.
ne pdSlOTp rev. II y. ftOlI, Will
shortly begin a canvass of the people
of the city in an effort to raise the
necessary funds to complete the edi-
fee. In view of the fact that the peo-
pie of the city have so recently been
called upon to contribute towards the
new Y. NJ. c. A., the Masonic temple,
the Odd Fellows hall and the st. JOS
eph's parochial school, the members
of the congregation have found them
selves handicapped when soliciting
money. 1t is to be hoped that so de-
! serving a cause will receive the same
encouragement that was evinced when
the other worthy projects were be-
ing undertaken and that when Rev.
Mr.. Rolf calls upon the people of the
city for aid that he will be received
in the same spirit that made the other
projects possible. Rock Island has
never yet fallen down when 1t has un.
dertaken to accomplish some worthy
thing and it will not do SO in this en-
deavor.

ance and the number of season tickets
sold in advance, which was sufficient
to cause much relief to the young peo-
pie who have been backing the pro-
ject.
The artistic success was only whSS
had been expected from the talented
young gentlemen who gave the even
ing's program. The Lyric Glee club,
as they call themselves, is a versa
tile group OF entertainers, and from
start to finish Of the program, they
performed before delighted audience.
Perhaps the finest part of their pro-
gram, as might have been expected.
was heard in their vocal quartet num-
bers. Four pleasing voices, perfectly
blended and harmonized, and used In
selections OF high grade, intelligently
rendered, could hardly fail to please
any discriminating audience. That the
quartet did please was attested by the
repeated encores given them, to which
they responded. In solo work and
readings, the men were fully satisfac-
tory. Their brass quartet was some
thing of a novelty and made a good
impression.
The audience that heard the concert
was a fair-sized one but not at all
such as might have been present but
for the other attractions which con
f1icted. If this first number is a fail
sample of what the Broadway young
peoples society has to present in
its course, 1t is safe to predict thai
: 1t will receive the heartiest supper
for the succeeding numbers. These
young people are deserving of mucf
credit for their progressiveness in thu!
attempting to present an opportunit,
to hear high grade entertainments a
a low price. and they should be sun
, ported by the whole city in their et
: fort.

: be given Nov. IS by Charles H Plat

Of traffic, but climatic changes, caus-
ing the material to expand and con-
tract. Mr.. Johnson's plan was that
the state pay one-half of the construc-
ton cost and the county a similar
share. and that the state provide for
the maintenance.
His idea was to decide on certain
roads to be rebuilt and then devote
all efforts to them, with the aid of the
state This done, the people would be
in position to care for the branch roads.
There is a strong sentiment in favor
Of rebuilding the Ninth street road,
although it is the intention to repair
the Twelfth street road also.
TELLS OF WORK.
Mr.. johnson delivered an address
last night. illustrated with stereopti-
con views. showing just what had been
done by the state commission in the
way of road improvement, and show.
ing what had been done in other states
and in other countries. There are over
$4,000 miles OF road in Illinois and but
5000 miles are improved. The com
mission has also erected great mum
bers of reinforced concrete bridges
which have proven eminently salts
factory and much cheaper than steel
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Johnson!
address there was a general discus
sion, the commissioner answering var
ious queries as TO local conditions ant
needs, and also giving numerous est
mates as TO cost of work. At the con
clusion of the meeting he was extend
ed vote of thanks by the club.

/ beseech you, therefore, brethren,
~ the mercies of God, that We pre-
sent your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God, which is
, Your reasonable service.
/ And be not conformed to this
world; but be We transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and accept
! able, and perfect, will of God.
For l say, through the grace given
unto me, TO every man that is among
4 you, not to think of himself more
highly than he ought to think; but to
think soberly, according as God hath
dealt TO every man the measure of
faith.
For as we have many members in
one body, and all members have not
the same Office.
So we, being many are one body
in Christ, and every one members one
of another.
Having then gifts differing accord
irE to the grace that is given to us,
whether prophecy, let us prophecy,
according to the proportion of faith;
Or ministry, let us wait on our min
istering; or he that teacheth, on
teaching
Or he that exhorteth, on exhorta-
ton; he that giveth, let him do it
with simplicity; he that ruleth, with
diligence; he that sheweth mercy,
with cheerfulness.
Abhor that which is evil; cleave to
that which is good.
Special musical numbers will be
given at the morning service at Zion
