upon how much the people or the

COLUMBUS POSITION
FOR HARVEY ENNIS

Harvey Ennis for six years man
ager of the la..or bureau of the Tri-
City Manufacturers association, and
assistant to Secretary H. ]. Jansen, at
his Moline Office, has been selected
from a large field of applicants for
secretary of the Columbus, Ohio, Metal
Trades association, and will report for
duty there April Is. The Columbus
organization was only recently formed
and Mr.. Ennis is its first secretary to
be employed under salary Having
submitted his application by mail, he
was called to Columbus and engaged
forthwith at meeting of the executive
board several weeks ago.
The many friends of Mr. Ennis will
be pleased to learn Of his advance
ment, though it will be no easy mat
ter to fill the place to be made vacant
by his departure. Last winter he was
superintendent of the Moline night
school for foreigners, and he did meri-
torious work in educating the many
aliens who came to him for instruc-
tons.

SOUP Without q Spoon.

Soup without a spoon seems even
harder to negotiate than meat without
a fork, and we can sympathiZe with
the complaint recorded in the diary of
Felix Platter, a young Swiss, who went
to Montpelier in 1852 in order to study
medicine. He lodged in the house of
his professor, Catelan, on of the
greatest doctors Of his time, and yet,
writes Platter, I'VE were compelled to
eat our stew in the usual French fash
ion-that is to say, picking the meat
out with our fingers and then drinking
the broth. In vain we begged our
hostess TO let us have spoons, but not
a single one was to be found in the
house, the only implement on the table
being a large knife fastened with an
iron chain. No one here seems to have
ever heard Of spoons, which we at
home find so useful" Montague was
astonished when he visited Switzer-
land in 1880 to find that at all meals
they put on the table as many spoons
as there are people present" West

PROVIDING BONDS
Rock Island Commission Considers
Ordinance Requiring Surety
From Concrete Contractors.
PAVING PROJECT is CONFIRMED
Officials Approve improvement OF
Thirteenth Street Between Sew
enth and Eighth Avenues.

At a meeting of the Rock Island mu-
nicipal commission held this after
noon the ordinance providing indem-
nifying and maintenance bonds be
furnished by concrete sidewalk con-
tractors was passed for consideration
at first reading.
The measure was submitted to the
commission by Commissioner Juhl. 1t
requires that contractors file with the
city clerk on the nrst day of May in
each year a bond in the sum of $4,000
to protect the city against suits which
may grow out Of failure of the con-
tractor to properly protect the public
at place where walks are under con-
struction. There is no such require
ment at present and while no damage
suits have been instituted against the
city in which a person or persons have
been injured through negligence Of a
contractor the commission is only fol-
lowing the plHn WHICH las DeeH duopt-
ed in other cities.
Another bond of $1,000 is required
by the ordinances as a guaranty that
the contractor will use only the best
Of materials in the construction of a
walk. The bond is a protection for
the property owner, the ordinance re-
quiring that the contractor maintain
the walk in good condition for per-
iod of five years.
The commission also passed for con-
! sideration an ordinance providing for
| the paving with brick of Thirteenth
street between Seventh and Eighth
avenues. The board of local improve
ments Tuesday approved the project
and recommended it to the council
| for final confirmation.

CONFESSIONAL IS
HELD VITAL DUTY
Voluntary Plan Adopted by Episcopal
Church Is Upheld by Rev. j. VI.
Schaad In Sermon.
CALLED CHRISTIAN PRIVILEGE
Missioner Holds Sin Is Disease That
Can Only BE Cured Through
Following GOd's Plan.

"The Roman church requires its
communicates to go to confession; the
Protestant church tells its members
they may not go. while the Episcopal
church says the confessional may be
used" was the way in which Rev J.
VI. Schaad noted missioner from St
Paul. explained in brief the different
attitudes of religious bodies relative
to this vital doctrinal teaching, in his
sermon last evening at Trinity Epis-
copal church, Rock Island.
In other words" continued the
speaker. the Roman church would
compel both the sick and the well man
to visit the doctor; the Protestant
church would have neither the sick
or the well man call on him, while the
Episcopal church teaches that the
sick man should see the physician but
the well man does not need it. The
members to confess sins to its priests.
1t is voluntary and not compulsory.
1t does believe that the confessional
is the privilege and heritage of ali
Christians if the words Of Christ are
to he taken at their face value.
Interpretation Of the chUrch's po-
sition on this important matter is best
stated in the morning and evening
prayer, which states, Almighty God,
the Father of our Lord Jesus. who de-
sireth not the death of a sinner, but
rather that he may turn from his
wickedness and live, hath given power
and commandment to his ministers to
declare and pronounce TO his people,
being penitent, the dissolution and re-
mission of their sins He pardoneth
and absolveth all those who truly re-
pent and unfeignedly believe His holy
gospel"
Sin and Its Cure.
Numerous questions had been asked
the missioner since opening his WORK
in Rock Island relative TO the confess
sonal and answers to these were re-
served until last evening. Rev. Mr.
Schaad spoke on the theme, Sin and
Its Cure" basing his remarks on the
phrase, Forgive us our trespasses,'
contained in the Lords prayer.
That all are sinners, that sin is a
disease, and that persistent sin may
be fatal was the first proposition ad-
vanced by the speaker. He asked il
there was a cure, and if so, what il
was.
Everything that Christ taught u:
to pray for is obtainable," continued
Rev Schaad. I'VE can obtain for
giveness, but how is it obtained anC
how shall one know he has it? Their
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-03-23

are two classes of sinners, those who
have done wrong, rerented and are
hanti-ed. and those who sin after bap-
tism. The latter class cannot be hap
tizod again What means, then, Is
provided for them to secure forgive
ness? Repentance, concession, apso-
luton. and the sacrament are the
agencies to be used.
Asking for forgiveness of sin does
rot necessarily secure it. There are
those who think they can obtain 1t by.
sort of auto-confession, by merely
thinking that everything will come
out all right Others try to forget it,
and still others depend upon subjec-
tive consciousness or feeling, but since
all cannot feel the same way about
sin committed, this manifestly cannot
be the proper way to obtain forgive
ness.
"Christs cruciixion and resurrec-
ton are historical facts. Just before
His death He delegated to his II apos-
give dissolution. II Christ did come
to save the world. as He claimed, how
was His work to be carried down the
centuries? What could be done in the
short three years Of His ministry? II
was through this self-perpetuated of
fee which has come down from the
apostles TO Gods ministers today that
this mighty plan was to be carried
cut"
/ To Talk on Conscience.
! This evening Rev Schaad will dis
! cuss Conscience" basing his remarks
on the text, The spirit of man is the
lamp Of God, seeing all the inner
parts" Proverbs 2O:27 He will ex
plain the place and power OF con
/ science in human life.
