Sunday was feast of good things.
The days services began with the Love
Feast and the Sacrament of the
Lords Supper, conducted by DR.. j. E.
Farmer. At 1920 DR.. Elijah P. Brown
preached from Romans II, /. There
was no attempt to De oratorical but it
was one of those heart to heart talks,
which sends one away saying: Il am
going to be a Christian and serve
my Lord more faithfully than ever
before. The afternoon was devoted to
children. Miss Lucy JudSon spoke on
"Children's Work in the Meth
odist Episcopal church." Her work
at the Lake Bluff \ Orphanage
enabled her to speak from experience
and her talk was very instructive.
Miss Ben Oliel followed with a ten
minute talk on Shepherd Life and
applied it to the 23rd Psalm. 1t threw
wonderful light on this scripture
and showed very clearly how impos-
Sible it is to understand many old
testiment passages unless we under
stand the oriental mind This was
followed by Bible Reading by Elijah
?. Brown on the same psalm.
The anniversary sermon by Rev. III.
II. WiltSee in the evening was a
mastery effort and received many
words of praise. The convention
closed with conservation service led
by DR.. j. e. Farmer. Grand Rapids
Methodist will not soon forget this con-
ventiOn.

were largely attended compared with
like caucuSeS In former years The
interest was caused from the fight
that is on in the state between the
LaFOllette and Anti LaFollette forces
commonly called and known as Stall
warts. In this city, they resulted in
favor Of the Governor, and the follow
ing persons were elected as follows:
First ward-F. J. Wood.
Second ward--F. A. Cady and A. L.
Fontaine.
Third ward-Jacob Searles and Geo.
Fourth ward-H. c. Wipperman and
Fifth ward-Will Otto and E. r.
Griffith.
Sixth ward-T. J. Cooper and And
rev King.
Seventh ward-John Bell.
Eighth ward-TherOn Lyon.
In most Of the wards there was
Stalwart opposition, but only one
person in the 4th ward received II
votes This was the largest number
of votes cast for any stalwart candi-
date. The almost unanimous vote
for LaFollette delegates throughout
the county goes to prove that the
people of Wood county are with the
Governor in his fight for equal taxa
tion. Out of total of IS delegates
in the Republican County Convention
5S OF them will be with the Governor
in spite of the contracted editorials
published in the Stalwart organs for
the past three months.

brought out in the future by our
additional educational advantages,
was shown in many ways. His endow-

you our firm determination to watch
