At the First Methodist church the
very large congregations had two excep-

Ferrin at the morning hour, Rev. j. Z.
McFerrin in the evening. They were
gospel sermons, both of them ornate,
yet simple; charming, yet plain sym
pathetic and helpful, yet direct and
forceful. They were such sermons, both
of them, as linger in your memory as
something sweet to think about as
come to you in the sweat and heat of
the day to strengthen, encourage and
help you. Our space will not permit a

The Democratic State Committee
held meeting yesterday chiefly to
consider the Roberts case. James
H. Moyle, Chairman, and a Mormon,
urged resolution that Roberts be
seated. One after another of the
Gentle members arose and opposed
this, saying that they bad voted for
Roberts as Democrat on the eXpec-

up the charges that were made
against him by the opposition. as he
had agreed to do. Roberts was ar
raigned for what was called his bad
faith in failing to do this, and it was
declared that he had made a foot bali
Of the Democratic party as we'll as Of
prominent Democrats. The Gentle
Democrats were unanimous in op
po'itiOn to the proposition to get up n
petition for Roberts. Thereupon the
Mormon members dropped the mat

having failed. A large number of
prominent Democrats throughOut
