Merreli'a Herat at the First M. B. Charea. Lmt fivewlaac Haw a Cireat Wtrk ! lar. The IMrst M. E. church wis packed last even ng on the occasion of the ser mon by the pastor, Rev. P. W. Merrell, on the subject, "Curing a Drunkard," as aooompllihed at the famous Tillage of Dwight, Illinois. As hitherto announced Mr. Merrill was for three Tears prior to bis coming to Rock Island located at Dwight and was the first chaplain of the Bi Chlori le of Gold c'ub there, and was therefore competent to speak from an experienced and practical standpoint. His tex; last evening was from Acts 10, 38: Who went about doing good and healing all were oppressed of the devil. rVe hear in these words. Mr. Merrell said, a suamary of Christ's life. It cons stated in doing good snd in healing all that are physically, mentally, morally or spiritually diseased." Hence the found ing of asy 'urns and institutions for the relief of humanity is a Christly work. A Jenncr or a Pasteur is a benefactor of the raw. Ruyhan stayed the ravages of small-pox and hydrophobia two ter rible maladies Science is doing a Christly work. It is staying the flight of the dark eagel of death. The effects of intemperance are more deadly than the ravages of small pox or hydrophobia and hence it is not strange that the attention of men should be arrested by a cure for intcmperarce The work at Dwieht has been grata tously advertised simply "tor humanity's sake," as the editor of the Mercury, of New York, put it. Tbe most conservative of periodicals have opened the r columns, such as the North American lUview, Harper's Weekly, New York World and New York Sun, LoDdon Times, etc. This recognition has been accorded through the influence of Jo Me dill, of the Chicago Daily Tribune, who sent several hopeless sots as t68t cases to Dright, and was so struck by the reformation wrought in them that he took it t p at once. He has published editorials and articles without stint on this subject. This free advertising has been for humanity's sake. For' humanity's sake, also, this service is held, for tbe possible re lief of any home suffering from this scourge in tiese three cities. You that come from homis untouched by this curse cannot understand the joy that comes to wires, mothers, sisters, friends, from whose hearts the terrible burden of dispair is lifted by the curiDg ot loved ones. - A letter from Lob Qatos, Cal., was reed as a sample of hundreds received by the d pecker wherein the writer detailed her experience f. om tbe first awful awaken ing to the fait her husband was a drunk ark down to the final loss of hope, as she realized her husband was hoplessly ad dicted todrink. A ray of hope broke upon her thriugb an article in the Advo cate, fromtha pen of Rev. Merrell. After having witnessed the joy that had dawned on very many dispairing ouls as they regained their loved ones redeemed from drink, no wonder the speaker felt in interest in the work. With regarl to the character of tbe men who take treatment it should be borne in mind he said that among tbe victims of intemperance are our brightest and mcst influential and beloved citizens. Men of social natures, generous, magnanimous, are such as ara nnder peculiar temptation in this direction . Hence as might be an ticipated the patients are a class worth saving and worthy of an acquaintance. Tbe speaker described in a brief way the organization ot the Bi-ChJoride of Gold club and the institution of the Sunday service of whbh he was made chaplain and given entire control. Tbe character of the audienca gathered in the club room of Sabbith morning was such as to inspire any minister of tbe gospel. Judges, phy sicians, mere! ants, millionaires, men of prominence from nearly every state in the union were gathered there. The mode of treatment was described. and it was said that the drugs were not taken away at once from tbe patient, but that his strength was kept up and the drug replaced by other medicines until he refused his t Id stimulant entirely. In this way many lives were saved that by any other treatment would be sent to the grave. Some illuslra ive cases were presented. The Champaign morphine man who had been taking 100 grains of morphine and a pint of alcobd daily for 10 years, and who at first had to be watched to prevent his committing suicide, but who was brought out without being aware of the time when he ceased osixg morphine. Another case fit m Detroit was spoken of where the man Lad been discharged from his position because of drink and divorced from his wife for the same reason. He was reinstated bi his old position and re married to his wife. It ended very trag ically in the indden death of his wife. Several other caies were presented. As results of tiis movement has come a better nndersi ending of those who f a'l victims to intemperance mistreatment is based upon th i theory that intemper ance comes to be a disesse. Hence these men deserve sympathy, even though they were guilty tn falling into tbe pit. "He ne'er considered it as loth to look a gift horse 4n the mouth." but bed never let him suJ er from cut. sprain, or bruise, as long as a bottle ot Salvation Oil could be had for love or money. rLAGLEii ARRIVES. The Hew CkieC mt OraaMe la Ik ; TrUliiesfsra Week. Gen.D. W. Flagler, chief of ordnan ce, U. 8. army, arrived in Davenport Satur day night and was the guest of Judge Nathaniel French over Sunday. Tonight he will be tendered an honorary recec tion by the Piute club at the rooms of the Davenport Business Men's associa tion, and the associations of Rock Island and Moline have been invited to attend . Gen Flagler will remain about a week. This morning Presidents Jackson and Bennett of the two associations calkd on Gen. Flagler on the island to learn his wishes with reference to .the two association's reception and banquet, which will be held during his stay here. At a meeting of the committee from the Rock Island & Moline Business Men's at s ciation held at the Harper house this afternoon it was decided to give Gen. Flagler a reception at the Harper house tomorrow from 5 to 7 p. m., to which the public is generally invited, and particuo larly the arsenal employes, where they wil. all have a chance to shake hands with the general. Gen. Flfglerhas been spending today at the Rock Island arsenal inspecting the works there. Capt. Lyon gave a lunch in his honor at 1 o'clock this afternoon, to which tbe officers of tbe arsenal were invited. It is Gen. Flagler's first visit since his election to the chief of ordnances, and the people of the tri-cities combine their friendly greetings with those of congrat ulation. Tks Theatre. The "Two Orphans" was presented to a large and well pleased audience at Har per's theatre by Eate Claxton and her company Saturday evening. Tonight we are to have Thomas Murray's comedy success, "Our Irish Visitors." Mr. Murray is the funniest, quaintest Irishman that ever appeared on the stsge, and that nose. If a nose has any expression his has enough of the right sort to keep an audience convulsed. Tbe small boy in tbe gallery is always imitating him on the street and at home, and tbe company is composed of splendid artists ss well . Frank Davis is another gem in his way. '.When Murray and Dayis appear (the long and short of it) you feel in your bones that you are going to be will repaid. The business man bothered all day with troubles and cares. Don't have to think; they just sit, see, laugh for over two hours or more. If a balance of a million were at stake they would forget it. The ladies of the com pany are all pretty and charming. The dancing and singing, nonsense and hodge podge are alyou want to make you for get dull care and enjoy yourself. On Thursday evening will be presented that successful comedy drama, "777," of which the Chicago Tribune says: The only dramatic novelty of the week is a melodrama called ' 777, at Havhn a. It is written by Joseph D. Clifton, and its first presentation was given here Hun day. Tbe company is good, and the drama a strong one of the sensational order. A. W.

W. Welch chairman and Henry Bostock sec retary, after which a resolution was passed, the sense of which was that each one present should consider himself a committee of one to solicit a large attend ance for the next meeting, which is to be held at tbe Harper house at 7:80 next Saturday evening. .
