From 10 ST0R3E BUSY 9 i President Taft, while "swinging around the circle" in his western trip, has found time to dedicate and lay cornerstones for a number of new buildings for the Y. M. C. A- At La Crosss. Wis., there was a magnificent hew building erected at a cost of $100, 000 waiting for him to give the dedi catory address. He said, in the course "of hla earnest speech: "When I am invited to testify to the advantages of the Young Men's Christian association to the community, i feel that I should be neglecting my duty as a man if I old not bear witness to the great work Df this association as I have seen it, in Aiding young men and making them Valuable members of the communitv, "In Omaha, in Seattle, in Shanghai, in Hongkong and Manila, as well as In many other places around the world, they have associations where I have "seen tffis good work. On the Isthmus of Panama we are using today four of their trained general secretaries to Organize oar associations there to help the young men who are working In the ropics and to protect them from the dangers and temptations that beset young men." Recovery at Son Francisco. At San Francisco, President Taft !laid the cornerstone of the new $500, (000 building now in process of con struction. At the time of the great earthquake the San Francisco associa tion was left homeless and almost penniless, but now there is one of the finest association buildings in the world bbiug erected there.. One re mark by President Taft at this corner stone laying is noteworthy. "It Is about as hard to put money where it can do gome good as it was to make that money," he said. "You can put I all you choose In the Young Men's Christian association and get the value of every dollar.'? , i Last week the president turned a golden key in the lock of the new building at Memphis and opened the t doors of the place to young men. and i carried the key home with him. Here- after, the building will be open night J and day for its services to men. Just beforo leaving Beverly, Mass., I on . his western trip, the president, without solicitation, sent his check for 5100 to the comniiuee for the associa- j tlon building fund. In his letter to ! the chairman of the committee, he said: Matins Tnrfaloraa Permanent. "I have had occasion at a number of places, half way around the world, including- the Orient, to emphasize my j Lvery high opinion of the work which I t Young Men's Christian association does, cot only at homo, but abroad, and the erection of substantial, hand- .sorne, useful and valuable buildings Is a long step in making this usefulness permanent. As I expect to be a resi dent of Beverly next summer and vo .'. have: something more than mere gen eral interest in the progress of mat ters In the city. I besr you to allow me to contribute to the building by Boston, without the aid of the presi dent, tas just raised a fund of half a million dollars in -15 days for a new building and equipment. Started with Gift of 840,000. On Oct. 14 trie campaign started with a gift of $00,090 from the presi dent of the Boston association, and one of $20,000 from the vice president of the association. Other gifts, large and small, poured In, until more than $500, 000 has been raised for what will be one of the finest association buildings in the world. Pueblo, Colo., one of the few remain ing large cities without an associa tion, started a campaign for $100,000 Oct 1L Just 15 days later the cam paign closed with $112,000 pledged. The gifts for new buildings for asso ciations during the present year will amount to at least three million dol lars by the end of December.

Corner Sixteenth Stireet andrSecohd Ave., Rock Island 12 FORMER COLORED PASTOR HERE AIRS HIS VIEWS OF RUMPUS IN CHURCH Rev. R. A. Broyles, formerly pastor of the Second Baptist church, colored, who gave up his charge here recently after p. factional rumpus' had gotten some of the parties to the controversy into the police court, hands .The Argus the following i communication, which he entitles J;Higher Ground' for pub lication: ' " ' -". ' - - .y Rock Island, 111., Nov. 6, 1909? Edi tor Argus: Our experience, as pastor of tho Second Baptist church for tho past two and one-half years has been fraught with Joy and Borrow,, ; ... Out motto is : "Purity to purpose - every where and hi everything," and If .there has been, a hand uplifted against us, it ha3 been .because of ignorance and superstition. L . The child will cry if. you prevent it from putting its hand on the blazing lamp; the lunatic will fight you if you do not allow him to jump Into - the river; . the mad man will slay you if you get between him and his opponent. In other words, the one who need3 your help most, will least appreciate it when it Is done. , " - ; "Because thou hast rejected, knowl edge, I will also reject thee, saitS" the Lord" Hosea. ' Christ died to save the world, but the world' hatesVhiml ' r It; will:je Remembered that ' .when "ws came here April 11907, the Second Baptlit church was divided into two factions; one headed by B. F. Crush shon and the other by; Mrs. Mattie prury. By. much coaxing, we managed to get them together.. :; . Slno that time, by a very hard struggle on our part, the debtvof the church has been reduced from $3,621 to $1,650. .'-. As is natural for a gospel "minister, now and then -we would touch on civic righteousness from the pulpit, t About the middle of January, 1908, we made a few remarks touching local option. Feb. 10, S. W. Lu Vann, who had just resigned the ofUce of . deacon, - too$ Bose Wilson and John Griffin and wrote a statement to the pastor, , in which they threatened to destroy the peace and harmony .".or the" church. They. Bent." thfs' message to William Gordon arid Moses T. Grady, who were trustees of the church at that time. After a brief discussion, Gor don and Grady decided that t was illegal and did not, present it-to the church. Vann, Wilson and Gf if3n left the church, t We defy any man or woman to say that we, as their leader, permitted a single jtep to be taken that waa net tn harmony with the teachings of the flew testament- and our church discl i'line Hiscox church manual. , ' June 25, 1909, an illegal meeting was held by .William Gordon fnd Mrs. Evelina Bassett, with three or four others with a number of police, and we are told that they had a lawyer also, but we are loath to believe that a lawyer would use such poor judg ment, ' . . But It is a fact that our church rec ords were mutilated and changed. The question that confronts us is: Out nf the half dozen more persons In the churon at the time, was there not one who was able to advise the rest against committing a sin? or were they all sinners? This is a sarioas matter with us.- Something ought to be done to help such people. But, friends, if we don't hold up our own heads, we need not expect others to hold them tp for us. I . have no right to push myself Jnto your society when my life is questionable. You have h perfect right to know whether my wife and I are legally wedded cr not. You should begin to think on these things! You are responsible for the 8afety of your children, and yet by the action of about one-half dozen people, nearly 40 children are cut off from the study of the bible in the Sunday school. Read the following chapters: Ps. C4; Is. 41 and 59; Prov. 6; Second Peter i. We have tried in every possible way to get them to agree to have the whole truth known an. they have rebelled against it. They refuse to be helped. A couple of prominent Christiau gen tlemen went to the church house ol the request of the members and they were refused admittance by those who say they want' the truth known. Th!j shows that they want the pub'ic to know the whole truth, doesn't it? Following is a list of the loyal mem bers who stand ready for an investiga tion: W. J. Williams, Sandy Terry, Moses T.
