comes to me, to call our attention to
the universal fact of human observa-

exceptions. l quote just a few of its
many declarations on this point. II

If we say that we have not sinned we

HALE FOR PRESIDENCY.
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune Sug-
gests Sen. Hale, of Maine.

CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 1.-THE
Commercial Tribune. Saturday, in q
leading editorial. questioned the advis-
ability of the republican party's nom
mating Roosevelt unless it can be
shown that he can certainly carry New
York fact which at present, the
Commercial Tribune says, ii doubts.
Today the same paper says in part:
Why take chances when certainties
abound? The republican party is not
deficient in strong and popular lead

with power to maintain their posi-
tons firmly. eIoquentiy and logically:
men of calmuess and self-conuol;
men of quiet an repose, yet most res

right: Jealous men, energetic men,
yet curteous and considerate at all
times and under every circumstance:
men of dignity that command respect
and of untaruished honor that compel
admiration. Such a man is Eugene

ton to the service of his country and

Millions of our fellow men have found

Gods Love.

L believe he is often accomplishing
it today, by bringing the church as
we do our great ships into the sweet
waters of his love. Yet we must re
member that neither a ship nor a
church to be of service can drop an
Choir in a quiet. landlocked body of
fresh water and remain there forever
The ship must brave the tempest and
the storm. The church must often sail
through bloody seas.
I'm order to stir men out of their
Hypocrisy and their sins. Gods love
assumes something more than COM
placent, passive form. His love is
active, not doting, soft and indulgent,
but thoroughgOing, ains-taking, un-
n = energetic love. Love which
pleads. persuades, reasons, eXhOrts
with all long suffering and patience,
and love which reproves. rebukes and
chastens we'll. Whom the Lord loveth
he chasteneth and scourgeth every son
whom he receiveth Faithful are the
wounds of such a friend.
The Non Church Members.
With this passing comment on the
classes, this morning, | turn to those
for whom l have a particular message

class of persons who have not made
any profession of religion who DO not
