TREE OF DEATH Is THEME
OF EVANGELIST REDDING

The largest audience that has yet
heard Rev. J. c. Redding, evangelist
at the Central Presbyterian church.
was present last evening, and a healthy
interest is being manifested in the
services. DR.. Reddiag took as the
theme for his remarks "A Man Up
Tree" He told of the botanical dis
Covery of the tree of death. which
draws living things TO il if they come
within touch and holds them until all
life is gone and their bones drop be
meath the tree. This he applied in a
convincing way. He spoke of Fac
Cheus. who WAS too little TO see Jesus,
and so climbed a tree. Then he told
of other men who are too little to see
God and are up the tree of death. He
said the good. moral man is in the
topmost branch of the tree: the man
who says I'm good enough is the far
good men-Job and Jesus. This good
enough man makes himself equal with
God or His superior The infidel who
says there is no God is one branch
lower The agnostic who doesn't
know and can't believe anything he
doesn't know, is on the next limb.
The universalist is next lower. Then
there are those who are afraid can't
thold out These have held on TO their
sin for years. I'd hate to think | could
hold on to the devil better than could
hold on God On the lowest branch
are the hacksIiders"
A male quartet assisted in the sing
ing last evening, giving Jesus Is Ten
derby Calling" and from a distance
very effectively gave the response to
THE Wayside Cross the solo part
being taken by Dr.. Redding. The ser
vices will continue every night through
/ the week. The church bell is not be
ing rung, however. because Of sickness

CANCELLED BONDS

State Treasurer William Ryan, Jrp
a bundle containing cancelled bonds
and coupons which the city has re-

resented before cancellation a value
of over 100000. They will be pasted

Of the liability against the city. The
municipal debt of Rock Island is now
but $4,000 and there remains some
five years in which to pay this amount
which shows that after all the cry that
the city is in financial straits is not

CHEESEMAN'S OPENING
WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW

Cheeseman's store in Moline inaugu-
rated their spring opening today to
continue through tomorrow. The store
is beautifully decorated in smilax and
daisies and presents a fairy bower OF
spring flowers, festooned and artistic
ally hung in garlands from the posts
and ceiling. Great crowds were pres
ent today and greater crowds are ex-
pected tomorrow, for this season the
women seem to be more interested in
styles and correct wear than ever be-
fore. Mr.. Grossman was very much
pleased at the great interest which
was being taken in their second spring
opening and that although this years
business had far exceeded their expec-
tations, he looked for a greater year
during 1913.
The displays Of new garments typify
the season and are attractively shown
to the advantage of shoppers. Mr..
Grossman said relative to their spring
garments that: the women seem to
know values and the fact that we are
able to purchase exclusive garments to
be sold at a medium price, has found
great favor among women who demand
something out of the ordinary and yet
are not prepared TO pay an exorbi-
tant price for such garments. We were
one OF the first tri-clty stores TO an
nounce spring millinery this season,
and that many Of the suits and coats
shown here are truly exclusive IN style
features is certain from the express
sions heard in our store. "-(Adv)
