IL sermon, III w mon He Refers to
the Late Convention.
CANTON, June 21.-Sunday has brought
temporary peace and quiet to the citi-
zens of Canton. Aside from the profuse
decorations that greet the eye on every
hand, there has been no sign of the stir
ring scenes of the past week. 1t was
bright and beautiful this morning when
Governor Mckinley and Mrs General
Russell Hastings, accompanied by Cap
tain Heisland, the majors right hand
man, drove to the First NJ E, church,
handsome structure. Governor Mckinley
thirty years ago, was superintendent of
the Sunday school of this church, while
his wife was a Sunday school teacher in
the First Presbyterian church, two blocks
west, in which they were married twenty
! five years ago. The church was crowded
and Governor McKinley's fellow church
members gave him a warm greeting
Fifty newspaper reporters were present.
The pastor, T. 2. Edmuds, chose for his
text. Make your calling and election
sure, for if We do these things ye shall
never fail"
DR.. Edmunds made his sermon person
| ally applicable and referred in a happy
manner to the result of the st. Louis con-
! vention last week. In his sermon were
! these thoughts:

our candidacy. No man would be cred
tied with political sagacity who hopes for

ment beyond the unexpressed desire of

"A second requirement of sure cleo
ton is to have platform and then stand

necessity, to be absolutely fearless in this
J world of everything save the diSfavor of
