O. Pratt has been giving a series of lectures on the Reformation and last evening spoke of "The Conversion of Luther." He took his text from Romans, first chapter and seventeenth verse, "The just shall live by faith." A synopsis of the excellent discourse we will attempt to give Martin Luther was born 1483. When eighteen years old be entered the University located at Saxony, the mast famous school of Central Europe. Here he remained for four years, devoting himself to hard study, with the legal profession in view. It was while here that an incident occurred which changed the drift of his thoughts into religious channels.

One day while engaged in the library of tbe University he accidentally noticed a volume in Latin which he had not seen before. He opened it and coming deeply interested by its contents It proved to be a Bible, the first he had ever seen. He was unable to take the book with him for it was a chained Bible, and upon Jeaviug the building exclaimed, would it please God to give me some day such a bookfor my own." The influence this book had upon him was lasting and from the time he first looked within its pages his thoughts were changed from their former course into a religions one. He completed his University course and graduated with high honors, being the pride of the school and receiving from her words, "The jut shall live by seemed to possess a peculiar attraction for iim. At length their full meaning burst ipon him.

He saw that by simple faith, which comes from the heart of tbe peni- ent, peace comes. He felt as though he lad been born again, and his experiences had girded him with, power to go forward his opposition work of reformation.

He is said to be the rustic par excellence. The Colambiaa Club clock is very nearly completed. It is the wish of the Club that everyone should see the clock before it goes to Chicago, therefore it will be on exhibition at the City Hall tbe evening of April 5tb, at which time a general reception will be given, light refreshments will be served and an admission of cents charged. The rooms will also be open during the day and evening of April 6, 7 and and as no refreshments will be served a charge of only ten cents will be made for adults and five for children.

The clock is a credit to our ladies and some- thins in which we all take much pride. Miss Bertha Wilson, tbe elocutionist, of Cedar Rapids, entertained a Walker audience for the second time Monday evening. The entertainment, which was under the management of the Ladies' Aid Society, was well attended Miss Wilson, as an elocutionist and impersonator, stands well up toward the front, and her enter- taiaments are highly enjoyable.

The Walker lodge has extended a generous invitation to the association to hold the meeting at this News, the degree of Master of Arts While in school he was noted for the force ant strength of his character and for his quick penetrating mind. He became a bold aggressive and fearless thinker.

After graduating he followed the wish of his father and devoted himself to the le gal profession. About this time an even occurred which intensified his religion views. The death of an intimate friend caused him to look into his own heart, ant as a result of this examination he fount himself to be at variance with God. became distressed by the thought of the infinite goodness of God and his own wickedness. On his way home he was overtaken by a terriffic thunder storm, which shook the earth and seemed to rend the heavens and the universe by its terrible power.

Wrapped in awful agony and grief, he dropped upon his knees and promised God that if he was permitted to live he would seek to become a holy man. He passed safely through the storm and did not forget his vow, but set about at once to perform it by the only way he knew: he became "a monk. In 1505 he entered that famous order of converts known as the Augustinian, and there with the concentrated energy of his nature he sought peace with God Here, New City Government to Struck Terror to the Hearts of the Restaurant Ordinance forcwl--No the Sa- lootta.

TO THE SIXTH WARD. While speaking of the movement of the gamblers this afternoon A.

Hershire, the Press said, "Yes, that is what I like to see. I would like to see them all banished to the sixth ward, especially those kindergarten gambling holes, where the boys are enticed into 'little quiet I hope tbe new city officers mean business. I think they will have the support of all good citizens." "Wild rumors have been flying around for the past few days to the fact that there is going to be a wholesale raid by the city officials. A reporter interviewed Mayor said that all that we intend to do is to enforce the present city ordinance. To close the saloons at the proper time, on Sundays and close up the gambling houses.

All of the restaurant keepers have complied with the ordinance excepting a few who kept open yesterday. If the offense is repeated the offenders will arrested.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL. "A Pair of Kids," which is to be the attraction at the Opera House next Thursday evening, may be briefly described as one of the brightest of the farce comedies that have come forward in late years, and goes with a rollicking dash that leaves no spectator any time or opportunity to care for anything except the comic situation that is being played, tbe mnsic that is being sang, or the dance that is being danced. Mr. Kendall's "Jiles Button" is an ingenious portraiture of a rustic who is fooled and trapped by tbe devices of wiser men, and its hnmor is said to shine like a diamond.

Window shades--Mahana Carroll. during these years of privation and self- chastisemeut, be was being prepared for his future work. Here he patiently discharged the hard duties of a monk, suffering only as monks suffer.

Here he toiled in darkness and superstition, struggling to reach that light, that peace for which his soul so yearned. But this experience only tbe better fitted him for the position which he was soon to occupy. In his search after peace Luther found Rome to be a blind guide She subjected him, and he submitted to bodily mortifications, tortures and fasts, seeking to eradicate the evil from his nature. At last he began to think this a losing battle When he had proven that the teachings of Rome could not aid him in securing that which he sought, then God had an agent at hand to turn his steps in the right direction--a fellow-monk, one who had passed through the same experiences. He came to Luther and kindly and sympathetically told him his mistake and begged him to look away from the church itself, for it could not save him.

nd to look to Cbrist, not as a lawgiver, rat as a Savior. The light began to dawn upon the heart if Luther, but still there was much darkness. He began to despair and wished so ongingly to know the directness of faith God. There was light for him at this oint also. He unbosomed himself to an aged monk whose sympathies were stirred by the sorrowful looks of Luther.

He earned that peace comes only through ustification by the forgiveness of sins. Goc only justifies the sinner and only by the orglveness of his sins aud only on condi ion of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Soon after Luther was given a chair in University as Prefessor of Biblica Theology.One day reading the Epistle to tbe Romans, His eye fell upon these words, "The just shall live by faith' and seemed riveted there, and always die remember the words In 1510 he was sent to Rome on husi ness for the University, for which place set out on foot, atid on the way he becam sick and fell into deep distress on accoun of his sins. But suddenly he remembered the words of the text. They seemed like voice from Heaven.

He revived and wen on toward Rome, where centered bis hope of peace and sanctification. After tran sacting bis business, he remained in th city some time, seeking the holiness whici was not there, His visit was a bitter dis appointment 1 and be found nothing whic' could satisfy him. Instead of finding city of holiness and pnrity, be found a cit; rife with corruption of every kind. He re turned tome, seriously pondering Before buying a piano do not fail to examine W.

The reputation Ezra Kendall, the author of "A Pair of Kids," at tbe Opera House on next Thursday evening, is sufficiently established to insure plenty of fun for thoe in search of it. The thread of the story on which the laughable incidents and ridiculous happenings are strung treats oithe adventures of "Jiles Button," who comes to town with a wife and a pair of kids, together with a legacy which he is desirous of besf9wing on the rightful heir. He gets into all sorts of scrapes, some of the scenes of his exploits being in a restaurant and a prison cell, Mr. Kendall is said to be very funny as the old countryman, and he has a quiet, bamor- ous way of talking and "doin 1 things" that is irresistible. WORK AND WAGES.

MOEE than a fourth of the gold and more than a third of the silver produced throughout the world in the year 1891 was mined in the United States, CABROLL D. WEIGHT, chief of the United States bureau of statistics, reports that wages in Massachusetts average $1.70 to tl paid in England, while the cost of the same mode of living is $1.17 here to 1 in England. THE Belgian officials in the Congo country are arranging to import Chinese coolies to do the work of common laborers. The English, who have tried the experiment of mixing Chinamen and negroes, wish the Belgians success, but they predict that the effort will be a failure.

A ScottUti Kinj's Park, A novel idea for a park was that of King James of Scotland, who founded the palace of Eolyrood about 1538, by building a house to reside in, with a circular turret at each angle. To accommodate himself with a park King James inclosed a large tract of ground in the neighborhood of this pa-lace with a stout wall about three miles in circumference, which, as Maitland says, in his "History of nowhere to be paralleled; for, instead of trees and thickets for cover, which other parks abound with, I could not, after the strictest search, discover one tree therein, in lieu whereof, it is supplied with huge rocks and vast declivities, which furnish the Ed- ingburgers with the "best of stones to pave their streets withal; as do the other parts of the said park yield good pasturage and meadow grounds, with considerable spots of arable land." Two hundred years after, however, the level portion -was covered with magnificent oaks. --Garden and Forest. ARTICLES. Wheat-- Sep May July Corn May July Oats-- May.
