AT ST. JOSEPH'S CATHOLIC.

We should take an unusual inter
est in the Fort Armstrong centennial
celebration this week because Of its
Roman significance" stated Dean ]
J, Quinn at 8 o'clock mass yesterday
morning at St. Joseph's church.
The anniversary should have q
special meaning to Catholics for il
will call to mind the exploits of Mar
quette Hennepin and La Sale and the
other early explorers of this section
all OF whom were members of tbs
church.
The Catholic church has had a pc
culiar and important part in the his
tory Of this country. 1t was Chris
TOPPER Columbus, a Catholic, supported
by Catholic capital, that first sighted
land in this hemisphere and the first
church to be founded in the United
States was a Catholic church at St
Augustine. Fla.
The chief lesson which those early
Catholic pioneers taught was toll
erance When an attempt was made
to curb the religious freedom of the
colonists who had come from England
in order to gain the right to WORSHIP
as they pleased, it was Maryland that
first established in reality the doc
trine Of religious tolerance in this
country and it was George Calvert
first Lord Baltimore and founder OF
Maryland, who devout Catholic though
he was, insisted that every per
son in his province had the right tC
worship God according TO the dictates
Of his own conscience.
You ask what is to be the position
Of Catholics when a crisis in this
country is reached? The best way tC
Judge our future course is by the past
The Catholics will always be found on
the side Of true American principles
Regardless of the obstacles we may
meet or the prosecutions which we ma !
endure. may we always say as DID
Lord Baltimore Though we remem-
Der, we forget.

is today paying back some OF these
early obligations, at the rate OF ABOUT
$500 per year.
On June 4, 1887. seven Baptist men
and women, living on this side OF the
river, met in the home Of one OF their
number, near the center of the busl-
ness district of Moline, and organized
the Rock Island Baptist church, nam
ing it after the government island,
which had become a prominent trading
post. The name Of this town at that
time was Stephenson, with ABOUT hVe
hundred population. The business ols-
trict conferred at Second avenue and
Thirteenth street Meetings were held
in the homes of the members, IN store
buildings, and in the court house. Rev:
Titus Gillett was the first pastor, and
served seven years.
The first building was on the north
east corner of Third avenue and FIJI
teenth street, where the Christian
church now stands. 1t was built in
1S4S, at a cost of about $500. The
church occupied that building till 1870,
when a start vas made to erect the
building now occupied, on the south
west corner of the same streets. It
was hard struggle, but in 1879 the
last of the building debt was paid. and
Mrs. John A. Boyer built and pre-
scented to the church the adjoining
house since used as the parsonage.
In these 10 years the church has had
20 pastors, the shortest pastorate hav-
/ ing been AZ days. and longest some
what over fourteen years. Some of
these pastors have been strong men,
and have impressed themselves indeli-
; bly, upon the life of the community.
Although Dr. Taylor closed his pas
torate over seventeen years ago, the
present pastor is still frequently
called by his name.
There have been many strong men
and women in the membership of the
church. John A. Boyer and David
Halves will long be remembered by the
older people of the city. Many Of
these men have passed to their re-
ward, while others are still permitted
| to remain and serve a little longer.
John ]. kahlke, now confined to his
! home by disability, united with the
church in 1860, and thus has given Sc
| years of useful and influential ser
| vice. Our oldest member in length of
membership is Mrs. Louisa Churchill,
now living in Blue Island, Ill. who
has held continuous membership
since 1852.
The church has its face set steadily
to the future. Great problems are
confronting US, but we have our minds
upon them to settle them. Our Sum
day school is larger than at any time
in its history, and demands more room
| for its work. We are planning to
solve this problem. We have a large
body of energetic young people who
are being trained for large things,
They constitute a valuable part of our
active membership. They are BURDEN
| bearers in every sense of the word.
The pastor is justly proud Of them
! They, with the older, tried and proved
men and women. form a combination
which is sure to spell success All the
J auxiliary societies of the church are
t in fourishing condition, doing we'll the
part for which they were organized.
The future is full of promise, and
bright with hope and expectation.

AT SPENCER MEMORIAL.

Rev. Thomas Hughes OF Cleland
Presbyterian church, speaking before
the congregation OF the Spencer Me-
mortal church, reviewed the struggles
of the church at the time Of the estab-
lishment of Fort Armstrong, drawing
lessons from the celebration of the
week and speaking in part as follows
| We commence today the celebration
OF the centennial of Fort Armstrong
Through the medium of pageantry
we shall see the condition of life under
which our forefathers existed, and
which they encountered, in all its wild
primitive nature. We shall in imagi-
nation see them wrestling from nature
these fertile hills and valleys, and
subduing the Indians. who for ages
had held them in undisputed posses
sion
The hardships, dangers and priva-
tions they met will be recalled and
our appreciation of these noble pio-
neers will be entranced as we contrast
our present condition with theirs, for
Our lot is cast in pleasant places
and We have a goodly heritage"

those who would turn aside during
these days to pay their respects to the
forces Of days gone by, let these give
large place to the militant church.
Her devotion has borne her farther in
to the depths of wilderness and saw
agery than the lust for gold or the love
of conquest. She has marched abreast
of the home maker, the fort builder
and the law maker In her train has
followed the public school, the col
lege and the religious press. Her
christian homes have frightened every
pioneer community with ideals OF
purity and patriotism. No higher
blessing can come to us i'll this time
of retrospect than to thoughtfully and
reverently honor the past work of this
great builder of civilization.
May the coming days be times Of
deep thoughtfulness and OF real pleas
ure And may the principles of
righteousness and stability be ad-
vanced,

AT FIRST BAPTIST,

Restoring the Blockhouse' is the
theme upon which Rev. James Edgar
Wilson, pastor of Broadway Presby-
terrain church, spoke last evening at
the First Baptist church. basing his
discourse on the scriptural text. He
Restoreth My Soul" Ps. 1913. Mr.
Wilson said in part as follows:
The opening chapters of the word OF
God, our Book of. Life, present to US a
picture of a simple, pastoral life in a
garden: And the Lord God planted a
garden eastward in Eden; and there
He put the man whom he had formed
The closing chapters of the Word OF
God. our Book of Life, give to US a
picture of an exalted. celestial life in
a city: And ! saw a new heaven and
a new earth; for the first heaven and
the first earth are passed away And
| saw the holy city. new Jerusalem
coming down out of heaven from God
having the glory OF God" And between
those two pictures between the sim
pie. pastoral life in a garden, and the
exalted. celestial life in a city
stretches the long span of the ages
And on either side Of that long, mighty
river of the centuries-on this side Of
the river and on that, a thousand trees

The Progress of Century was
the subject upon which Rev. NJ. E.
Chatley Of Memorial Christian church
spoke last evening in addressing the
congregation Of Broadway Presbyter-
ian church, speaking from the bible
text John 17:20-23. He said in part
as follows:
With pardonable pride point to
the contribution made by the Chris
tan church to the religious progress
Of the past century. For hundred
years we have plead for Christian
union Though often misunderstood,
nevertheless our plea has not been
without tremendous effect. A clear
and lofty ideal-the unity Of all God s
people upon the apostolic founda-
uon-has ever been before US; deep
and holy enthusiasm has characterized
It's advocacy.
AS pioneers in the wilderness OF
oenomlnationalism, we have blazed a
trall that must eventually become the
broad highway Of union, over which
me mighty army of God will march
WIN unbroken ranks 10 the conquest
of the world for Christ.
In carrying out its logical con-

AT UNITED PRESBYTERIAN.

Christianity in general and Method
ism in particular in this country in
the past 100 years was the general
thought of the address delivered Dy
DR.. o. T. Dwinell of the First Meth
odist church in speaking before the
United Presbyterian congregation last
evening. An outline Of his remarks
follow
Illinois in 1900 had 215 white inhab-
itants. In 1914 Rev. Benjamin Young
was sent into the territory of Illinois
as a Methodist missionary and in a
year reported 81 members.
In 1916 Illinois and Missouri were
formed into conference with no west
ern boundary fixed except, at shall
include the last cabin toward the set
ting sun.
Illinois was organized as a territory
in 1909 with population in 1910 OF
12,2S2, and was admitted as a state in
1918 with a population in 1920 OF
55,211
In 1920 Rev Jesse Walker, with two
companions. decided to go to St Louis
and hold Meetings" and establish a

was so hostile that the two compan-
ions took their departure at once, Rev
Walker said he would not give up, but

TO find some encouragement lett the
place also He rode IS miles away and
then determined not to be folled, but
turned his horse back TO St Louis. He
secured a hearing, organized a class
and built a church. A conference met
in that building and Methodism was
thus established in st. Louis. From
that time her work has prospered
there.
African slavery came to this country
in 1919. and we are observing this eel
ebrstion in 1916. Scarcely anything
was said against slavery till about lOC
years ago.
In 1918 Rev Jacob Gruber de-
nounced slavery in camp meetn7
sermon in Kentucky. He was arrested
