Interesting Sermon Delivered at the
Union Service Last Night. eineuId
Accept God Without

CHURCH WELL FILLED
"Just AZ Rose Cannot be Understood

Belief in God Must BIO BASED

A large audience heard Rev. A. G.
Ernst preach ON God as the great
mystery, at the union servise in the
Westminster Presbyterian church,
last night. Rev. E. B. Newcomb. pas
tor of the church presided. Rev. F.
G. Beardsley, pastor Of the First
Congregational church, read the scrip
ture lesson. The invocation was
spoken by Rev. H. B. McElree, pastor
of the United Presbyterian church.
Rev. Mr.. Ernst said in part:
mo one denies the great mystery
OF God. or great renown is this
secret. Everyone is familiar with it's
effect and results.
Some may imagine that God should
manifest Himself to us in a more
definite manner. This is not the
case. To gain a spiritual life we
must manifest as much enthusiasm as
we do for the things that are not
spiritual. Men are yet failing to put
forth the necessary efforts for things

con the other hand there are some
people whose religion Is entirely
sentimental, without being practical

I'VE can never understand God by

God dwells among us all. He
would dwell in your heart, if YOU will

the means OF salvation He has re-
vealed to US.
1.-The mystery of God Is world re-

in the coming Of Christ we all know.
May we accept without controversy
this great mystery of God, not in a
scientific manner, but as the world
in general has accepted Him, without

Black, a high school st Iient. and
his nephew P. e. Black, 2? years old
and alleged to be a married man,
arrived in Fort Madison Thursday
morning, and spent the day wander
ing about the city. The youthful
appearance of the girl, compared to
that OF her companion, coupled with
the unmistakable evidence that the
girl was madly in love with the man,
the couple attracted much attention
in the city,
According to the story told by the
father, the man is cousin Of the
girl and has wife and lawful
child. He was employed az laborer
on the farm owned by the girls
father, near Belle PLANE. The pair
was not suspected of any particular
intimacy until the evening Of the re-
cent date when youth residing in
the neighborhood called with a horse
and buggy for the purpose Of taking
Miss Hazel for a ride. Black, the
farm hand then made scene and
declared that the girl would not ac-
company the other youth. This made
the parents suspicious and when
through watching they found that the
pair were meeting secretly. The
father discharged his nephew and paid
him $4,000 in salary.
Through a previous understanding
the pair met that evening and eloped.
The couple went from Belle
PLANE to Cedar Rapids where they
purchased ticket to Burlington. In.
stead of getting off of the train at
Burlington they came to this city.
The father followed them to Cedar
Rapids, but arrived too late. He came
to Fort Madison on an early morning
train.
The couple after their arrival here,
secured their breakfast at the res

STOLEN MOTORBOAT
IS FOUND YESTERDAY
c. w. Schmidt's Craft Was Taken
From Landing Here Several

c. w. Schmidt's motorboat, which
was stolen several weeks ago, has
been recovered, and several good
clues obtained to the thieves. The
boat was found yesterday afternoon
about six miles above the dam. The
gasoline supply was entirely exhaust
ed. The theory held by Mr.. Schmidt
is that the thieves took his boat from
the landing at the foot of the bluff
and drove it upstream until the gaso-
line supply gave out. Then the craft
was abandoned. When the boatSwas
found, several articles, believed to
belong to the thieves, were in it.
These have been turned over to the
police department, and by them the
police hope to be able to catch the
robbers.

shot and killed himself.
Arthur's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

and their last words to the boy was
not to touch firearms of any kind.

of the bureau drawers in the after
noon and the desire to "hunt rabbits"
Overruled his better judgement and
about 5 p. M, he called to his uncle 8
bird dog and went out in the fields

released it causing the gun to explode,
the bullet entering the middle of his
back. He died soon after being taken
to the home of his relatives.
The funeral services were held
