These are anxious days for President
Harrison A man who reaches the high
Office Of president and who determines 10
stand for denomination and reelection in
ours dreadful responsibility. It is not
pleasant TO think that after three years
and more Of hard work ones own party
will reject him and choose another leader.
And If denomination can be won there is

risk and resp0nsibility-for if defeat fol-
