of the records than any others, and
is believed to have made the best
possible selections.
The Davenport team has lost but
one game this year to a high school

an off night, and defeating Clinton
twice. Ottumwa has gone through a
great season.

at Penn Chapel on the life of David
Livingstone, whose centenary the
world has recently been celebrating
taking the subject, Livingstone, the
World Citizen. Livingstone, the
great missionary to Africa, is not a
provincial citizen, but one who be-
longs to the world. When God needs
a man TO fill a place he brings one for.
ward. So he did with Moses, Abra.
ham, Savanorola, Paul, Fox, and many
others. Livingstone belongs among
such men. His birth and early envir.
onments conspired to make him the
Missionary to the Dark Continent He
was the SON OF tea merchant, born
in an Insignificant village in Scotland
He developed in home of prayer, a
home where good reading was indulg.
ed in. The time OF Livingstone's birth
was propitious. II was time OF
great undertakings. At Is years OF
age Livingstone became converted
through the reading OF a good book.
After this he lived blameless life.
Explorer, traveller, scientist, mission
airy he was, but all for the glory OF
God. He was tenacious and so faith.
full that bis name belongs high on the
scroll with Abraham, Moses and Paul.

on Easter were full of instruction and

murky, sodden day, anything but in
keeping with the spirit of the great
festival. Mist and rain prevailed at
times during the day Heavy show
Iers fell between five and six o'clock.
disappointment over the state OF
weather were numerous and the at
tendance at divine services was ma
terially lessened.
Special preparations for the cele-
bration Of Easter had been made in
every, place of Worship in the city and
elaborate decorations were seen on
some Of the affairs. On account of
the early season at which the festival
occurred this season, floral contribu-
tons were difficult to procure and
lpriyate collections of hot house plants
were drawn upon for altar and church
decorations. Easter lilies and roses
abOunded and palms In many ms
tances We're in evidence. Other flow
| ers, potted plants in bloom and va.
riety of foliage added to the grace
and the beauty of the special trim
ming. E III
Programs generally were adorned
Will special HltiSltdl itdlhIcS tilaC
have been in preparation many weeks.
Several of the more elaborate musical
celebrations, were given as a special
entertainment. This feature OF the
days, celebration no doubt received
more attention than upon any previ-
Gus Easter in the history of church
service in town.
Although Indictment weather cut
the church attendance to some extent
every place was well filed by devont
and attentive congregations and Sun
day schools shared in the spirit of
| the day. 1t was great Easter
Tide" even with the unfavorable day.

The church was decorated with palms,
potted plants and cut flowers, and
presented beautiful appearance.
The musical program was we'll rem
dered. Miss Margaret Price as or
ganist is giving excellent satisfaction,
and deserves much credit for her
faithful and painstaking work. The
Sunday school orchestra, directed by
Prof. J. Worth Allen, assisted the
choir and added very much to the
beauty of the service. Miss JaHe
Slavata gave violin solo which de-
| lighted every one. Mrs. Abbott sang
"The Lord is My Shepherd" in a very
charming manner. Mr.. McFerran had
for the subject of his theme, THE
Resurrection, based on Matthew 2S:6,
"He is not here; for He is risen, as
He said" 1t was a sermon that
touched all by the spirit land earnest
ness by which it was given. 1t was,
an appeal to take Christ's life as our
guide. To give ourselves to the up
lifting of humanity, To rejoice in our
knowledge of the resurrection, by
