German Presbyterian Confer.
ence Notes.

The Conference coavening in the
German Presbyterian church Tuesday
evening Of last week in Lancaster. was
opened by verT excellent sermon by
the Rev. j. F. Jungeblut of Milwan-
kee. from Isaiah 50; 1914. 1t was at
tentively listened to and very much ap-
preciated. Conference was then ad-
iourned until Wednesday morning at
800. when a half an hour was spent in
devotional exercises. The rest of the
morning session was occupied in the
transaction of the business of the Con-
ference. In the afternoon an exegesis
and an essay were read, the first by
the Rev. w. r. Mundhenke Of Wheel
ing, Illinois. The topic "as the second
chapter of Hebrews and was a master
piece of exsgetic work. carefully pre-
pared and critically compared with the
best Greek interpreters. 1t was full of
profound thought and sound logic
throughout. 1t was rare treat to the
brethren who were privileged to listen
to him and highly commended by all.
The essay, written by Rev. NJ. C. Buet-
tel. was read BY Rev. B. T. Balcar.
The subject was"Christ descending into
Hades." The history of the phrase
was closely followed and the different
views on the subject were clearly and
forcibly stated. An animated discus
sion followed. Wednesday evening
was taken up with concluding some un-
finished business. Thursday the men,
bers of the confere nee took part in the
mission feast with the congregation.
In the fore noon the Rev. L. Huendling
preached a grand mission sermon from
John 81; So. 1t was pointed and
plain, and well received. Rev. Mund-
henke followed with few remarks on
missionary work, based on the state
ment that Christ was the greatest
missionary that ever lived. and that
though throDgs followed him, few really
believed in him. Rev. Balcar preach
ed another excellent sermon in the
afternoon from Rev. IL; 3-5. This
sermon closed the services which were
thoroughly enjoyed throughout. The
ladies of the congregation merit much
credit for the most excellent table
spread for the feast and their generous
efforts put forth to entertain the guests
from abroad. Good fellowship was
the one spirit of the occasion and gen.
uine mutual pleasure and enjoyment
was the outspoktn expression OF all.

people in his district than Mr. Ryan
does. By industry and good manage
meDt he has mace himself the owner
of 800 acres of excellent farming
land uear North AudOver in Glen
HaYen township. which ne has well
stocked, and furnished with good
buildings. He has also brought up
large family of children. who, without
exception, are well educated. and
several OF the older ones are now oc-
cnpyng positions of trust and respon-
sibility.
Mr.. Ryan has also a very creditable
experience in looking after the affairs
OF his town, having been its represen-
tative on the county board fer a half
dozen or more years and as member
he has been frequently given a place on
the most responsible committees. He
has also been administrator of the
affairs of several large estates and has
shown marked ability in their manage
ment At present be is president of
the Bloomington Insurance Co., q posi-
ton he has held for Is years, and is
also at the head of the North Andover
Dairy Co., which is in a prosperous
condition and handles from seven to
twelve thousand pounds of milk daily.
His long experience as justice of the
peace and arbiter of legal questions has
made him familiar with law and men.
II is stated that MIR. Longbotham,
who has served the district so well the
past four years, will not be a candid
ate again, and since Wesl Grant has
not been honored with a place in the
s ate legislature fer a great manv years,
we feel that we are entirely privileged
to ask consideration at the hands of
the rest of the district, and we know
that when we present John Ryan to
to the first district assembly conven.
ton, we present man of high Oh arac-
ter and integrity, who is no novice in
business affairs, but is in every re
spect well qualified for the office. and
who will prove a strong candidate.
and when elected, credit TO the dis.
trict he represents.

A Communication /.

There is nothing wrong when certain
young men are going to see their best
girls-If they choose to do so--even at
ter shutdown. But the following visit
witnessed by the subscriber. ia one OF
the residences IN the suburbs OF the
good city of Lancaster, was, to say the
least. rather extraordinary, and as far
as the young lady was concerned a
very disagreeable surprise.
II was as follows: One EVENING"
was the latter part of JulY--the sub
scriber was Hospitality entertained by a
family consisting of very respectable
old widow and her daughter in n e
suburbs of Lancaster. he. having a.
rived late in the day, was very kindly
invited 10 stay all night.
A conversation between the parties
was kept up until sometime after ten
o'clock. At that time footsteps were
heard on the sidewalk, indicating the
steps of q man. Before the inha bltants
of The house had time to explain what
an approach so late at night might
mean, tall young man tried to pull
the door open. The young lady, as
might be expected, was very much
frightened--trembled all over. She
called to the man. asking what was
wanted. The answer be gave was II
want money At this juncture, the
guest aforesaid, who was sitting in
corner of the house, and not noticed by
the intruder. sprang forward. 1t was
at once noticeable that this was alto
gether unexpected to the late caller.
When asked what All this meant, his
boldness left him, aud he began TO
stammer something about his going a
long distance to Kansas. to see his folks
and his need of money. He turned
away from the door, begging for a
nickel as an excuse.
No doubt he had concluded Cor they.
for he was not alone in the undertak-
ipg) that the two weak defenseless la
dies could easily be frightened out Of
their wits, and thus would hand over
what money thew lad, without anv
further trouble TO them. Can ii be pos.
sible that the good city OF Lancaster
includes among so many good and de-
seryedly respected citizens such WIRE tch-
ed libels upon humanity Were they
who sprang thus on feeble woman in
night time. really strangers Hardly.

of our excellent sheriff, pair of strong
bracelets be a fitting adornment for

There seems to be better prospect for
the passage Of the Nicaragua canal bill at
this session of congress than there has
been ct any time in the past.
The administration and its supporters
know that they have failed utterly to
satisfy the American people. There is
nothing in their record which appeals
either to thu American heart or to the
American brain. Their domestic policy
has wrought disaster aud ruin. and their
foreign policy has not shown q trace OF
that patriotism and manly spirit which is
dear TO the American people.
The Nicaragua canal affords the admin.
issration the only chance for escape from
q condemnation all but universal. The
construction Of this canal would unques-
tionabgy be of the utmost benefit to the
people OF the United States. Aside from
this, II would appea. to the national pride
There are surely some among the presl-
dents advisers wise enough to see this
and influential enough to convince him
oft
The construction of the canal under this
administration would rescue IL to some
extent from the disreputs into which il
has fallen. Nothing else would do so
much.
