RISCH & MCCOY,


he severed that nerve of intimate and
familiar communion between him and
God, he thereby released the Creator
from all obligation under former con-
ditions. He then became an object of
pity and subject of charity. God
vet sought to save him and Mt the same
time to be Consistent with himself. The
way was clear, aye, 1t had been the OBJ
ject of thought from the foundation
of the world. He decided to offer the
world a gift,-the child of his love-he
SO loved the world that he gave his on
ly begotten Son. If some obligation
compelled to this act, then are many
of our fondest and tenderest beliefs in
need of readjustment, but Paul ac-
cepted it as gift, God said He gave
His Son, and we may hold to the pic
lures our imaginations painted, where
God laid in the lap of the worlds need
his Son as an evidence of his love, and
Mt the same time as revelation OF
himself. Paul spoke of this gift as
''unspeakable,"-as something past our
fathomng, and especially beyond our
ability to describe. That there are
profound mysteries associated with
the coming of this Son to the world
none deny, but the fact remains. Is
not this, dissociated from the myster-
les "unspeakable?' Who can COM
pute the cost of this gift to God? We
only know that the light faded from
the eternal city in order to illuminate
your and my pathway; that he yelled
himself in human flesh, so that this
corrtipt,ble might put on interruption;
that the humiliation he endured was
of so deep and dark dye that we can
but think 1t was concocted In he'll.
Yes, it is "unspeakable" because of
the cost to God. 1t is also ''unspeaka-
BILE" because Of what 1t means to us.
have neither the time nor disposition
to speak of the positive and negative
side of this; 1t is enough for us to
know that one soul is worth more,
how much more we don't know, than
all the world; one soul, and that the
poorest, most unknown of the earth
before God we are individuals, not
one individual soul is lost in the mass

RED FIRE
IIIuminations Along the Line Of March
Something Grand.


The red fire illumination of the par
ade was something remarkable, and
the fire works committee certainly
prepared things on grand scale, and
did it's work well.
The entire length of Main st. from
South to Tallmadge SITS, was bright as
day. The white penetrating light of
the electric arc lamps and the yellow
flames from the band torches inter-
mingled with the red glare from the
thousands of red fire lights placed at
intervals along the street. This latter
work was in charge of Constable P.
J. Cummins, Charles Wadhams, JOS
eph Steiner and Fred Boedicker, the
aides to the regular fire works COM
mittee. Over 1000 red fire candles
were placed in large dray and set
a distance of 100 feet apart along the
line Of march. Each Of them burned
for several minutes, and the red glare

buildings and the clouds above was
a scene wonderful to behold.

ABLE SERMON
Preached Sunday Evening by Rev.
KelIer---CoI. Bryan Present.

The sermon, preached by Rev Chas.
r. Keller, at Trinity Lutheran church,
Sunday evening, was a mastery one.
1t is printed in full by the Democrat.
1t follows:
II Corinthians, IX:15-"Thanks be
unto God for His unspeakable gift."'
The value of a gift does not depend
primarily upon its intrinsic worth.
The motive which prompted the act
is tr,ler measure Of our appreciation.
The perfection of appreciation is only
attained when great intrinsic value re-
fleets the disinterested and profound
love of the giver. Only a sordid mind
motive. Paul was a gentleman in ev-
cry particular; to him there was some
thing higher and nobler than mere
commercial value. An event, unpafal-
leled in the worlds history, was even
then happening: Gentiles were then
sending help to needy Jews. Such an
exhibition Of Christianity in it's prac-
tical outworking could not help but
be pleasing to SO broadminded a man
as Paul. He writes them urging even
larger gifts for so worthy cause, as
suring them at the same time that in
so doing their own souls shall be wa
| tered. Then 1t would seem as though
he stopped to think of the marvellous
change; of that which had made these
Gentle Christians willing to acknowl-
edge the converted Jews as brothers.
Here was another evidence Of the di-
vinity of Christianity, for nothing less
could have produced such happy re.
suits, The enthusiasm of Paul could
no longer be held in check, but burst
out in the memorable words, Thanks
be unto God for his unspeaknble gift
Thus were their minds directed to
Gods richest gift-shall we not think
about 1t on this occasion?
The emphasis in the text Is on the
''unspeakable gift" There are some
who claim that God was under some
kind of moral obligation to save man;
that he fore-knew man would sin, and
hence could not be free from obligation
until he stood on the outer limits OF
omnpotency and with arms gut
reached, ba6e the weary and heavy
laden to come and be saved. That he
did this we are glad to acknowledge
but not as a matter of right, When
man deliberately disobeyed God, when

CANTON -MASSlLLON
Delegation Largest lH Number
Occupied IA Coaches.

The Canton Massillon delegation
numbered 1900 persons. IA coaches
ON the Valley brought the crowd to
Akron. The special train stopped at
the North Howard ST., depot at 8 o.
clock. The delegation and bands
formed in line and escorted by the re-
ception committee, started south on
Howard ST.. When near the corner Of
Mill and Howard the head of the main
parade appeared.
When the Canton -Massillon delega-
ton learned that Bryan was in the
carriage q short distance ahead, their
enthusiasm knew no bounds and con-
fusion and chaos reigned supreme.
The efforts Of the commanding Off
GERS to keep the men in line were use
less. The men broke ranks and went
through the platoon Of police at the
head of the parade, like water run
uluS through IL sieve. an lustduC
there was jam Of thousands around
Col. Bryan's carriage, yelling and
cheering like mad. Eager hands We're
outstretched to grasp the candidates,
and necks were strained to get u
glimpse of the great man they knew
SO much about but had never seen or
heard.
In few minutes the officers, hoarse
from yelling orders and commands,
finally got the men in line on the west
side Of the street and the parade was
allowed to pass, amid the constant
cheers Of thousands in the parade and
on the sides of the street
The Canton delegation fell in line
in their position assigned in the Fourth
division. They made a fine show

self for us? Thanks be unto God"
Have you thought the gifts of
Christ a small thing? Possibly you
considered it too insignificant to give
1t attention. This has been true of
the past, commence now to think, and
as you think it will grow until finally
you will say "My Savior, My Christ ="
Keep thinking and the ultimate result
will be that you will say with Paul
thanks he unto God for his unspeak-
able gift" Amen.

Hailed as a Hero Everywhere He Ap-
peared in Gotham.

New York, May 14.-James J. COrbett,
on the streets Of New York, unmarked
even by the faintest semblance to a
scratch after his encounter with Cham
pion James J. Jeffries, was greeted like
a conquering hero Everywhere he W mt
1t was the same story. Men who Iever
saw fight stopped him and congratu-
lated him. Crowds followed him AMI
cheered. His presence everywhere was
the signal for jam. In his most
popular hour, after defeating John l.
Sullivan, he never experienced what he
did throughout Saturday and Saturday
evening He was made hero of every
where, the scenes and Incidents of the
day proving remarkable. No van
quished gladiator ever received such at
tention For the first time in the history
of modern pugilism all credit and glory
are taken from the winner and given to
the loser of a battle. It is not because
Jeffries fought foul in the contest n n
for the reason that he Wrested victory
from the jaws of defeat, that the pub
lie refuses to wreath his brow with
laurels. The champion roughed it to
no great extent his work being cleaner
than 1t was in either of his two previ lus
great battles. He was in no distress,
andN though outpointed, was not seri-
Ously threatened.
1t was Corbett's marvellous defense.
His fairness and his general attitude
before and after his defeat that brought
IL him admiration and praise with sym
pathy.
New York believes that had the contest
gone to the limit Corbett could not but
nave been declared the winner. 1t De-
heves. too. that Corbett got too anxious,
and that the punch that gave the battle
to Jeffries was a very lucky poke. 1t IS
true that the best critics of pugiIistic
events share in these opinions. In this
there is no attempt to belittle Jeffries'
victory, which was great one-the
greatest he has ever Won.
