REV. DR. The New Fire Alarm Gets Two Practi- cal Tests Yesterday -Brier Bits of News Found Fiying About in Yesterday's Wind--Personal A Church aniversary, morning Rev. Dr. Crooly preached an anniversary sermon at the First Baptist church, of which hie has been pastor for two rs. lhose who are familiar with the religious history of the eity need not to be reminded that this church has had a hard straggle. In the earlier years of its existence it worked hard” and overcame many ob- cles. At last it had a fine church building, in the yery heart of the city, the socicty seemed gaining m number and strength, and brighter days se 1 in store. ‘Then eame the period of storm dissentions within and without, and the society was disbanded. When Rev. Dr, at the instance of the to whom the property Crooly came he missionary societ had been resigned, he found a work more difficult than that of opening a new ficld, There was not only all the b, nness of uncultivaied grodnd, but many old stumps to be rooted out, fences to repair, and Little but the promise of plenty of hard work, Dr. Cooley has done grandly in reorganizing and mereasing. The so « :ems hurmonious, enthusiustic, and prospering in all ways. s not alone in observing the carnestness with which he has worked, the wisdom of his management, his ability in the pulpit, and his warmheart- sige of it, and the congratulatory ons called forth by his ar frequently he it with the histor of the First Baptist church of this city. As the text for his annual sermon yes- terday morning Dr. Cooley chose the 12th verse of the 7th chapter of Iirst niel—""T'hen Samuel took a ston t 1t between Mizpeh and Shon o the name of it Ebenczer, hitherto hath the Lord helped u thus doing Samuel followed an i of the pious heart to commemorate belf received from God. Such wa mon with all the persons of the wi tof thanksgiving express a at could not soon be forgotten. The incident thus suggested the two main thoughts, kirst, that we should make special mention of God's great blessings. Sccondly, that we should ex- press this remembrance in the most dura- ble form. God wants not only gratitude at the time a blessing is given, but an ever grateful remembrance of it. He in- stituted the Sabbath to call to remem- brance the creation of our world. So the death and resurrection of Christ were cominemorated by the two ordinances mstituted for this purpose—baptism and the Lord’s supper. So with the individual, The great fact of our lives should be commemorated. As we have birthdays to mark the years, 50 there should be_ spiritual birthdays, never to be passed by without special re- membrance. We should not only be ever asking of the Lord, but ever thank- ing him, and the great mercies of our past lives should have speciul seasons of commemoration, Churches should have anniversary oc- casions, for there was an individuality to a church. “Two years ago I commenced 1my The first sermon was the memor- Jesus Christ and him that discourse 1 aimed to ote of my ministry in this knows and I know, and you succeeding ou_save God to witness ified 1y pleading and my other pastoral They I can this a strong, church of Iam too old, eternity 18 too the ministry of reconciliation ue very highly the honor Ofticial character.” The speaker then recorded some of the blessings and the marks of progress. ‘The numbers of members had been nearly tripled. Alienations and differences had been removed, and where they could not see alike they had silently agreed to forget, There had been no great ingath- erings, ten being the largest number re- ceived ot one time, but there had been continual accessions. There were onl two or three young persons in the cnurcfl when he came. Now there was a host of them, full of promise and vigor. They were not only a great present help, but the future of the church was with them. There had been much work gathering in stray members, who came from other places here, and had to be hunted up, and welcomed. There shall be more ot this work, and in this every member should do all in his power. The second point in the discourse was how to best express this remembrance of God’s help in the most durable form. Samuel chose not wood but stone. An individual could by a life of consecration to God erect a memorial more durable than stone, one that would endure through all eternity. Character was the one thing indestructible. As a church, a rnbliu body, with a public reputation, there would be a public commemoration. He suggested that as a memorial of Christ's great love, that measures be taken by the church to aid 1 the frent benevolent operations of the day. For the past few years the church had done but little outside of its own limits. This might have been necessary, but he was thankful that these circum- stances no longer existed. It was time to think and sacrifice for others in order to cultivate that large-hearted spirit of the gospel. Selfishness was no more ex- cusable in churches than in individuals, It stunted growth, It stood between the church and greater blessing. 1t could prosper o.lliu God blessed it and he would only bless it as it went out of it- self, and thought of a world lying in sin and wretchedness, Dr. Cooley presented the following facts and figures: There had been fifty- one received into membership during the past year, three by baptism, seven by ex- perience and twenty-one by letter, The present membership was 168, as com- pared with only 57 two years ago. The pastor had preached 119 sermons, at- tended 179 prayer and religious meetings, made 430 visits, attended 13 sessions o the Sunday school and solemnized 15 marriages. There had been raised for all purposes about $1,700. s Miss Mollie Corcoran, dressmaker, 714 Mynster street, between Seventh and Eighth, Farming Lands in Towa, #10.00 per ucre, € nt interest, Ro. 555 School and state lands Land Buyers fure free, in Minnesota on 80 years' time 5 per Information, ete., given by P.

FARM LANDS CHEAP | WASH | ELECTRICITY! . { Minnesota, Kansas, and ranging from $5.00 to By X B e R DR, RICHARD'S Electric Bath Rooms and Oflce No. 607 Mynster St., Council Bluffs. One Square North of the P. O. Building. Treatment and Baths Given Ladies by Mrs. Dr. Richards on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday. Electricity is a remarkable natural agent which has long been Lknown and utilized as a rer for discase, and continued experience has enlarged its sphere of useful- ness and improved its appliances by which it is employed until its utility and virtue has become second to no other known remedy, in the treatment of certain forms of se. This agent is employed here in all its most cerviceable forms by the aid of large batteries, static machines, electric cabinct baths, electric water baths, the elec- tric chair and electrodes for treating all parts of the body. We are prepared to do all that can be done with these great remedies. In cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Paralysis, Spinal Irritation, Rectal Discases, Nervous Diseases in females arising from Uterine disorders and many other chronic and subacute troubles, it stands at the head of all known remedies or metheds cure. A thorough study of it for years and the successful treatment of hundreds of cases, after all other remedies had fail- ed, is sufilcient evidence of its great worth and perfectly satisfies us with its good eflects on the diseascd body. In the great hospitals and sanitarians of America and Europe, electricity is leading all other methods of treatment. In all leading colleges the professors are teaching electricity as one of the potent remedies and a special chair is appointed in many of them. "Many of the ablcst physicians of all’ &chools are making a specialty of electricity to the” exclusion of almost everythin else. This great remedy o'ten fallen into disrepute by being recommended an used by persons, and phiysic'ans, perfectly ignorant of its properties and powers, who would as often advise and use the wrong current as the right one or depend upon it in diseases for which it is not adopted. We are sure that when the people become educated in the use of electricity for many diseases with which the body fs afilicted and find the great g -od therein, the medicines and patent righted nos- trums upon which they now rely will grow old and dusty on the shelves. Electricity is nature’s great remedy and to fully understand and skilfully apply it is our effort and aim in life.
