cent if you hold it close enough to
your eye
Our Lord Jesus gives us the law
for the right use of money. 1t is Luke,
chapter IS, verse 9. l have ventured
to make free translation of His
statement there, which / am clear is
strictly accurate and what He is say
ing in His won words under our Eng
fish. 1t runs thus: Make to your
selves friends by means of money,
which the unrighteous world reckons
riches, that when it fails, they may re-
ceive you into the everlasting habita-
tons Money is not riches. The COM
mon impression is that it is riches. I
wonder how many of us have been
tarred with that stick. And money is
| not unrighteous. 1t is neither right
eous nor unrighteous in itself. 1t takes
on the moral quality of the man who
owns it for the time being.
Exchange Money for Kingdom Coinage
Jesus rule of brokerage and ex-
change is this: Exchange your money
into the kind of coinage that is cur
rent in the kingdom and in the home
! land. The current coinage down here
| is gold. We reckon a mans wealth
| by the number of dollars he has. The
/ coinage current in the kingdom and in
! the homeland is the lives of men.
| There's a divine brokerage whereby
gold man be exchanged into lives of
men, redeemed, purified, uplifted men.
/ There's divine alchemy whereby gold
can be transmitted, under the touch OF
! the pierced hand of Jesus, into purified,
/ redeemed men.
That is, Jesus would say: Make
proper provision for all the needs OF
your life, personal needs, the home,
the children, the future, and so on, in
! a sane, sensible way think of all this
and carefully provide for it. and then,
as the Lord guides, invest the rest in
law of investment"
And then Mr.. Gordon went on to
/ illustrate this in various ways. He
closed with a simple story from life,
suggesting that the touch-stone here,
as everywhere, is in obedience TO the
/ Masters voice Through surrender to
the mastery of Jesus, and the daily
quiet time alone with the book, the
Judgment becomes poised and trained,
and so one becomes a thoughtful, wise
administrator of what funds he has.
And in it all he is controlled by the
passion Of the Fathers heart for His
world.
Our Response to the World Ap-
peal was the title of scholarly ad-
dress given by W. E. Doughty.
The registration last evening reach
ed the figure 1906, and the meetings
have been marked by a wonderful en-
thusiasm and interest and have been
considered the most successful ever
held in the community.

LOVERS PAY fine
|. ON MINOR CHARGE
Two Score Voice Indignation When
Mrs. Frank ScrOg and Harry Ra.
dOOsky Are Released.

Cries of Indignation emanated from
two score Jewish people in front of
Rock Island police headquarters at
1870 o'clock this afternoon when Mrs
Frank Scrog and Harry Radoosky were
released after paying a fine of $40 each
for disorderly conduct.
Led by the husband of the woman
the people appealed to Chief Of Police
Phil Miller that the case be tried. They
averred that Scrog had not been given
a chance to present testimony against
his wife and the man he had accused.
No evidence was taken in the case.
Mrs. Scrog and Radoosky were
brought from the county Jail and seat
ed in police court. The states attor-
'ney's Office was represented. The
magistrate announced that on advice
of the states attorney the charge had
been changed to disorderly conduct.
There was hum of voices in the
court room. The magistrate asked the
attorney from states attorneys Of
flee what he thought just fine would
be, and received the reply, ten dol
lars" The court then announced tc
Mrs. Scrog and Radoosky that they
would have to be out of town by to-
night and that if they were not he
would send them down to the county
Jail for vagrancy.
As the people moved from the cour
room it was readily seen that the ma
jority present sympathized with Scrog
who Wednesday night came here from
Virginia, Mimi, after his wife had beer
arrested and had confessed to living
with Radoosky at 2S37 Fifth avenue
for two years. The people in the cour'
room started protest Immediately aftel
the defendants were taken away.
They remained in front of the sta
ton for about half an hour and dis
banded when Scrog announced that HI
| intended seeing an attorney to learI
whether or not he could still prose
cute on the charge Of adultery He de
clared if he could he would immediate
/ ly demand that the couple be arrested
! Scrog's attitude today was great,
| different from Thursday morning
when after talking with his wife h
was inclined to forgive her providing
! that she would return with him.

CORONER TO BURY
COUNTY PAUPERS?
Members OF Board Suggest Method tO
Defeat Plan Of Undertakers for
Increase.

Members OF the board Of supervisors
who are opposed to granting the de-
mand of the undertakers of the county
for an increase of from SIS to $40 for
burial of pauper dead, today stated
that the statutes of the state required
that only the sum of S12 be allowed for
each person buried at the expense OF
the county.
1t is the opinion of States Attorney
F. E. Thompson that the county cannot
in strict conformance with the law pay
more than $12 for each burial. Mem
| bers of the board, however, stated that
an increase to SIS was allowed in the
past but they are opposed to granting
the new demand and are preparing to
checkmate the proposals.
One plan advanced is to have the
work done by Coroner R. c. ]. Meyer
He could be allowed s12 body. Ac-
cording to the states attorney, the
county is not required to embalm pau
| pers nor to hold them for identi-
| fcation.
Paupers buried In Rock Island and
Moline are embalmed but those placed
in the potter's field at the county in
| Urinary are not. 1t is contended that il
the bodies are not treated and pine
collins are provided, the expense will
be so materially reduced that there
might even be an opportunity to make
some money at $12 a person.
One member of the board suggests
that the pauper dead be cremated but
is thought this could not be done fol-
$12 body. The whole subject prom
ises to be thoroughly discussed at the
approaching meeting of the county
! board, March Z.
| Claim of the undertakers is that the
price of collins. casket hardware and
embalming fluid has increased so that
more money is required for burials.

Mrs. Hodson had apparently been
well and in the best of spirits at noon,
