Excerpt from Seventy-Fifth Anniversary and Rededication of Broadway Presbyterian Church, Rock Island, Illinois: 1875-1950 Time is a history maker. Names Of persons and places, dates and events are the contributors. A history is an account of facts, and the history of a church, like that Of other organizations, gathers increasing interest with increasing years, and the record becomes valuable in proportion. Our own Broadway, with a record of 75 years, has hereto fore had no published history. The disappearance from among us Of one and another who started out with us in 1900, gives us warning that if those who succeed us would know Of our early struggles, we must record them in some permanent' form for their benefit. The time is short; if we would work for God, it must be now. Adapted from 1875 record of Dr. J. W. Stewart, by, 1950 Historical Committee.
