Rev. c. o. Bakers stirring sermon,
MARKS of Distinction, based on the
text 1st Samuel 18th chapter and the
40 verse, deeply impressed the grad
yates and friends present. The speak
er introduced his remark with the
story of David and Goliath making
many useful comparisons from the
same, showing that there must be
some motive for the making of marks
for man in life and each one should
have some mark in view. He also
showed in a very able way that there
were certain unworthy marks of dis

should be avoided, in conclusion he por-
trayed the fact that there were marks
of honor and distinction which are a
benefit to man and by which he can
do the most good and be of the great

each should try to attain these.

"CLAIM ALLOWED"

The High School play given last
Tuesday evening at the Garden Thea
ter was in every sence of the word a
splendid success The play "Claim
Allowed" was very pretty patriotic
play and was attractively staged.
Each rendered the part assigned with
more than ordinary ability showing
careful training preparation. The
tableaus were of a patriotic nature
and were unusully effective, many
thinking them the best ever given and
they were indeed well arranged The
young people are to be congratulated
upon the good work which they did
and the play was so well received by
the public that on Friday night of
this week it is to be repeated at the
Garden Theater for the benefit of the
local Red Cross.

PLEDGE $1,000 TO
A LOCAL MISSION
Members Of Broadway Presbyterian
Church Subscribe to Garry Half
Of Expense.
SUM AMOUNT ASKED By PAsTOI
Donations Follow Stirring Sermon on
Charity Given by Rev. John
McGOwn Stevenson.

Although no notice had been given
previously that a subscription was to
be taken, $1,000 was subscribed by
members OF the Broadway Presbyter-
ian church yesterday morning for the
Rescue mission which is in charge of
G. O. Rogers. on Fourth avenue be-
tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets.
when collections were taken for the
mission by all Of the churches Of the
city in December, the Broadway was
unable to take part because of the
fact that the new pastor, Rev. John
McGown Stevenson, had just ar
rived.
At the service yesterday morning
he gave stirring sermon on charity,
using "Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least Of these, my
brethren, We have done it unto Me-" as
his text. After the sermon cards were
passed around and $1,000, the sum
Rev. Stevenson asked for was sub
scribed.
Needs 5000.
While last year the mission used
about one thousand dollars, the budget
this year has been fixed at two thou
sand dollars or more. Thus the Broad
way church will sustain one-half of the
expense OF it's operation.

DR.. Aked is beyond question one OF
the foremost speakers in the country
on the question of the wrongs forced
upon the people Of the countries of
Europe that have been oyerthrown as
a result of the AustrO-Prussian mill
tary program.
DR.. Aked, it is stated, come to Rock
Island enroute west directly following
a trip to all Of the war worn fronts in
Europe and has asked that he might
picture to the people of Rock Island
the gigantci need for carrying through
Just program as has been announced
in the putting through Of the Patriots
fund
1t is stated that as a crusader in be-
half OF charity, Of the Red Cross, of
the Young Mems Christian association
the Young Women's Christian associa-
ton, the Knights of Columbus, and
the Armenian relief, he is without a
peer and it is questionable il equalled
among the speakers now travelling the

tinued effective distribution of relic
and report that the suffering and dealt
from exposure and starvation will in
evitably be very much greater THU
winter than last unless the survivor.

from America"
The Patriots fund committee says:
President Wilson makes this stron,
point, that the matter Of charity II
behalf of the worlds misery is direc
responsibility of every habitant, man
woman and child living in this country
and as stated by one of our local min
listers, one cannot but be convinced @
the worth and worth-whileness an
the merit involved in the big under
taking Of raising $185, 900 for local an
war charities. The big program
mapped out by the citizens committe
is one that fairly breathes of welfar
for suffering abroad and at home, an
as such should have the unqualifie
