Then came the "Dr,d Scott case"
bred Scott was here on the island in
1886. Later the trial began in St.
Louis, bred suing his owner for as
sault and battery. The case went to
the supreme court of the United States,
and the same Roger B. fancy handed
down the supreme court decision Tin
Short that bred Scott having been a
slave in the south did not become a
citizen by coming north and had no
standing in court, and could not sue a
white man.

In 1884 was held the christmas
Conference" in Baltimore This is rec
ognized as the beginning of organic
Methodism in this country, though
there had been several annual meet
ings called conferences before that
question of the use of alcoholic bever-
age was discussed and intemperance
was denounced in the most positive
terms. Methodism has been in the
forefront in all these years in an en-
deavor to rid the country of the evils
of the use of intoxicating beverages
and has attempted to do her full share
toward making this "a dry country"
The changes in the United States
have been marvellous when we consid-
er the treatment of criminals and of
insane people 100 years ago and now,
upon which we cannot enlarge in a
written brief. Our better preparation
for the care of the sick is wonderful
Methodism had no hospitals till 1857,
and now has in this country 40, which
last year cared for $4,000 patients. We
also have II hospitals in India and %
in China. In China these hospitals
treated 10000 patients last year.
Methodism has exerted a great pow
er through her revival and camp meet
ings and in establishing educational
institutions.
In the past four years she has added
SIS 10000 to college assets and in the
same time graduated 5000 more stu
dents than in any previous four years.
The strength Of Methodism, and
therefore the benefit she has been to
this country since Fort Armstrong was
built, has been in the fact that she
preached mans lost relation with
God We have all sinned and come
short of the glory of God. Gods love
however is equal to the need: John
3-16. The remedy is by faith in Jesus
Christ. Being justified by faith we
have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ. In Christ there is no
condemnation. Man may know his re
lation to God. The Spirit himself bear
eth witness with our spirits that We
are the children of God. There is a
fixed future. We shall all appear be-
fore the judgment seat of Christ"
There is power in PRAYER. The fer
vent effectual prayer of righteous
man availeth much" BY the preach
ing of these doctrines Methodism has
established herself in this country AMI
helped to make it as good as it is.

AT CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.

DR.. H. ". Reed of the First Baptist
church, at the Central Presbyterian,
chose as the subject of his sermon last
evening, One Hundred Years of Bap-
fist work" saying in part as follows:
1t was really beautiful courtesy on
the part of the Centennial committee
to ask the churches to introduce the
centennial week. In the progress of
the hundred years" the churches
have had no small part and the re-
suit is certainly richer because of the
spiritual influences exerted.
A hundred years ago the Baptist
churches of this land were few, and
mainly located along the lines of the
eastern coast In 1890 there were
about fifty thousand Baptists in the
| United States. Now there are $780,,
900. That which really welded the
Gus denomination was the conversion
to Baptist views of Adoniram Judson.
who went to India just 100 years ago
as Congregational missionary, and
adopted Baptist views on the journey.
Word was sent back to this country
! that he was ready to serve the Bap-
fists as their missionary. This led to
the organization of foreign mission
AIRY society, which gave to the Baptist
churches new and united work
In the middle west Baptist churches
were organized by small groups of
Baptist people who desired to provide
church privileges for themselves. and
to win others about them to a Cody
life So it was in Chicago, and so it
was in Rock Island. Many of these
churches had to be assisted by older
and stronger churches in the east; but
as they grew in strength, they in turn
began assisting other needy churches
in other parts of the land This church

DR.. W. S. Marquis, pastor emeritus of
Broadway Presbyterian church, now in
charge Of home mission work of the
church with headquarters in Chicago,
addressed the congregation of South
Park Presbyterian church last even
ing, giving a centennial sermon and
basing his remarks on the scriptural
passage, Prepare Ye the Way of the

the work of missions. Dr. Marquis

who was likewise engaged in home

trip from the east by wagon. He spoke
/ Of the wonderful progress throughout
the state and in the three cities espe-
cIally in the years since he made his
first trip here. He referred to the
centennial celebration as fitting OBJ

ers experienced in coming home He
spoke of the mission work as carried
on at South Park church. the buying

ing the way of the Lord. He urged the
people to continue in the establish

AS fitting inaugural to the centen-
Mai week observance in the tri-cities
members OF the city clergy last even
ing took as the themes for their dis
courses incidents in connection with
the establishment of Fort Armstrong
tracing N the hundred years since
that time the history of the church
which each minister represents. Pas
tors in the city exchanged pulptts
with other pastors for the evening
service and delivered the same address
that was given by each in his own null
pit at the morning hour. The churches
were IN every instance well filled and
special music and splendid addresses
made the services throughout the CITY
Of very special interest.
Outlines OF the various discourses as
delivered last evening are here given .
AT TRINITY EPISCOPAL.
Conservation Of the heritage of the
past through the construction of 4
strong national defense was advocated
in the centennial sermon delivered b.
Bishop NJ. Edward Fawcett of Quinc,
at Trinity Episcopal church yester-
day.
The theme of his discourse was
Peace With Honor But War for JUS
tee"
Bishop FawCett pointed out that we
are debtors Of the past, stewards of
the present and trustees Of the future
He designated the founding of Fort
Armstrong 100 years ago as closely re-
lated TO the greatest achievements in
the worlds history and held that the
century which has elapsed has been
as remarkable in itself as the thou
sands OF years which preceded it, in
bringing to life liberty and the new
world ideas
The speaker argued against tbs
temptation of man to live on his herr
tage from the past, exhausting it, but
should so live and act to leave Joy to
the future He deplored the great ma
tional waste of the past and lauded
the present determination of man to
conserve.
IF tomorrow is to have its share
the men Of today must guard this
heritage The nation requires prep
aration for defense just the same as
the city needs its police force" Bish-
op Fawcett declared
Peace is most honorable. War is
despicable But there is somethin2
more honorable than peace-justice.
Christian may smile at well meaning
pacifsts, not because he does not
want peace but because he does not
want war Militarism can never gain
a foothold in our democracy"
Switzerland was held as an example
Of what preparedness has brought
Bishop Fawcett called attention to the
numerous warning countries SURROUND
ing the Alpine republic, yet showed
reward for national defense in that il
still was at peace with the world. h
Landed its preparations for peace
through defense. That this country has
rot yet tested the strength Of modern
warfare and that the fact that it was
isolated to a degree by oceans did not
mean that il is protected through its
geological position, were other points
made
Let US have peace with honor the
speaker continued. 'Safey first is a
fine motto but there are times wher
it might mean cowardice in a sacred
trust. Conserve what we have re-
ceiyed and give it our best"
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-06-19

But whilst today we celebrate this
historic event that has to do with our
physical we'll being, we shall remind
ourselves of the spiritual heritage we
enjoy, and recall the moral and spirit
ual wilderness that existed when our
forefathers, the saints and martyrs
who at cost of country. liberty and life
raised voice and pen against existing
evils, that they with us might have a
faith built on, and measured by the
word of God, as its standard of faith
and practice.
A new order has arisen out of this
wilderness and to none more than to
our fathers IL this change attributable

Concerning Two Portraits.
(New York Sun. ]

What more natural than that Sen- l ator James Hamilton Lewis should arise in hot reply to National Guard critics? His own picture in the uni- l form of the Washington State militia still bIazes with all it's pink reful- 1 gence in the minds of thousands of his countrymen. It outdazzles even ; the photographs of the great Ne ] braska Colonel, who so unfiinchingly faced camera battery after camera battery before the Spanish war was finally won.
 AS between the two photographs, perhaps that of the Nebraska Colonel excels in stern grimness of expres sion, with the thin Tipped, widely elastic mouth compressed in a firm unyielding line we'll across the ex- pansive chasm between the two bel ligerently square jaws.
 But what the Washington Colonels portrait may have lost in suggestion of wars awful, unrelenting realities is made up in romantic. Ioveliness of feature, pose and trappings. The jaunty, straight vizored martial cap gracefully aslant toward the star board ear, the alert upward tilt of the beautiful face, the smart be- frogged military jacket the keen sword ready to the hand the brisk impression of attention conveyed by the squared forearm supported by the clenched fist against the side, and above all the golden glory of the square cut but sweetly curled and parted whiskers!
 Short lived as the gratitude of re- publics may be, surely the joyous greetings of a great people when that vision was flashed upon them are not yet wholly forgotten. There indeed was militia preparedness for you. With the cameras indisputable word for it that the originals of these two Colonels actually existed and were not flippant stage fictions, who could doubt our instant readiness for wars direct emergencies; who could picture the blighting effect upon an enemy of sprung upon them?
 It is to the militia mobilized for Federal defence that we owe both of these precious memories. No wonder Senator Lewis arose in fiery defence of a force he himself has done so much to adorn and of whose sartorial preparedness his own treasured DOT trait has left an indelible impression on the public mind.

 Germans Caught in Trap.
 Stephen Pichon, former foreign minister, says in the Petit Journal that the firmness and solemnity with which MT. Wilson made known his resolu- ton to congress recalls the greatest days of American history. He con- tinues: "Whether or not the Germans disavOw the action of their subma- rines, they are caught in their own trap, and all their presumption falls to the ground before the calm and resolute attitude of a great country standing up for the rights of human ity.'
 Under the heading Germans con- fronted with an honest man," Jean Herbettc, one of the leading French authorities on international politics, says: "The German government must be surprised to find itself face to face with the only force of which it is ig norant-conscience. If Germany gives in it would be an unforgettable humll- iation, for it would be the triumph of that ideal of justice and liberty against which Germany went to war. The sinking of a few ships more or less would not affect German interests greatly but how could Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg mention Bel sium and Poland as pledges in his peace programs if the submarine, that other disloyally acquired weapon, had been knocked out of his hand by a champion of the right The rulers of Germany cannot with impunity open a. breach in the fortress of their in- iauities."
