ThB affair was of three-fold importance -o far as the honored guest of the ev ening was concerned. It was In the nature of a greeting by his good friends of the club on his return from hla globe circling Journey; it was felicitous In bearing the good wishes of those pres ent on his marriage, and It carried an expression of appreciation of the sue cessful efforts of the former president of the organization in making the new club both a possibility and a reality, The tables were arranged in the form of a horseshoe, and were prettily decorated, the flowers being carna tions.

Depew an an after-dinner orator. Mr. Mclntyre presided with his ac-.-UHtomed grace, and bis remarks intro ductory to the various speakers were full of characteristic witticism and sen timent. I.. C. Blandlng, delivering the address of welrome, spoke of Captain Rosen fleld as always an adept in the science of political e)iioniy who bad now un dertaken to prove himself an adept in the science of domestic economy. He paid a fine tribute to the guest of the vening. of whom he spoke as a whole hearted, good friend, possessed of ster ling qualities of mind and heart for v bom the best w as none too good. hi: u OHii.ixi. rot:x.

M. H. Sexton dwelt briefly upon the accomplishments on the part of Cap tain Rosenfield that bad made the new club borne a reality, and closed with a happy toast to Captain Rosenfield and his bride. ROEKIEI.n GIVE A OVATION. Captain Rosenfield was given an ova tion when he arose to speak, and ex pressed himself feelingly of The testi monial which had been given him by his friends. The best part of traveling. he said, is the home coming, and the best part of the home coming is the welcoming. He expressed his gratifi cation over the completion of the club house, and said that the accomplishment was sot that of any one man, but the re sult of the efforts of all the members Individually and collectively, who had responded to every request on the part of the officers and directors essential to the carrying out of the plans. The club stands for the city's progress, and the city stands for the progress of its citizenship. No town can be better than the standard of its citizenship, and the citizenship is developed and elevated by that which brings them to gether In social intercourse and ani mates the spirit of progress, industrial development and good fellowship. Cap tain Rosenfield said if his friends were half as glad to see bim as he was to see them he was surely satisfied With a few concluding remarks by Toastmaster Mclntyre, apropos of the occasion, and the singing of "Auld Lang Syne,", the affair ended.

AUDIENCE UNDIMINISHED Informal Talk This Evening on Xhc Mystical Star of the Magi-" Not often does bo large a number of people leave a lecture room so uni formly serious, evidently impressed with the importance to the individual life of the message listened to. The crowd at this, the ninth Kid dell lec ture delivered in the city last night, was undiminished. Rev. Richard Haney of Moline opened the meeting by ask ing for prayer for God's blessing upon the message and the messenger in the hearts of all, and announced the evening's subject: "How Man Be comes In-Christed." The lecture dealt with the definite steps necessary in making the transition from the nat ural to the spiritual planes of life; from living as a member of the de generate body of Adam, an existence whose ultimate end is death, to ac cepting the gift of God, and immor tality in the perfect body of Christ, the invisible church. The first defi nite step is choice or will to accept a man's individual portion of the race redemption made by Jesus Christ on Calvary; completed when He said: It is finished," and the "wages of sin, death, " were paid. NECESSITY OF HEPEXTAXCE. Mr. Riddell emphasized the neces sity of repentance and forgiveness of sin. For convenience he considered the transition to be made under seven steps,' though be stated that the divi sion was not arbitrary. When the last of these are taken they place the seeker for the perfect way within the spiritual kingdom and transform bim from a-man who lives in selfish, car nal desire into one whose whole de sire and will are in conformity with the will of God. He said in part: "When a soul has accepted the gift of redemption and been born anew it comes to bear again the image of God, His child by regeneration; for man, since the "Fall," is not a true son of God except by the new birth. GOD SEEKS TO RECLAIM MAX. "Even though men have become children of Satan and have come to bear his image and serve him, God ever seeks to reclaim them, and His infinite love and compassion follow them tenderly even through their wickedness. Though men are dead in consciousness to the presence of the Father, He Is ever alive to them and concerned of their welfare." Mr. Riddell emphasized the point that we should understand clearly and concede the fact that we are spirit ually dead and unconscious of the presence of God. He said that be cause man enjoys a form of life or rather existence, he is not sensible of his need of a higher consciousness or even its possibility. He closed with a beautiful allegory called "Giant SOCIETY INTERESTING STUDY MEETING. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT OF the Moline Woman's club met at the studio of Miss Mary Lindsay-Oliver in that city yesterday afternoon. There was a large attendance and an excel lent program was given. Miss Abra ham's rendition of choice selections from Schytil and Grieg were warmly received. Miss Tunnicliffe sang with great feeling, "Es war ein Traum," "Eln Schwan" and "Veilchen," by Grieg. Mrs. Florence Ftiestat Lee gave the following three violin num bers by request: "Romance," by Wieniawski; "Liebesfreund," by Kreis- ler, and Minuet by Beethoven, and as usual delighted her audience. Miss Xordquist and Miss Oliver's interpre tation of Grieg's Concerto in A minor was a finished production. The March meeting will be held in the First Congregational church at Moline.

It served to illus trate those successive states of the consciousness whereby man finally ar rives at true decinleship.
