SEES IMPROVEMENT IN
THE WORDS CONDITION
DIR. III. III. Bell Takes Optimistic View
of Men and Nations of
TODAY
''The world is in a great deal be

THE world is in a great deal better
condition to-day than It ever was.
said the Rev. H. H. Bell, ID. D.. at
the First United Presbyterian Church.
Golden Gate avenue and Polk street.
last night Dr. Bells sermon was
founded on the theme "The Pre-emi-
nent One" in which he showed the
influence Of Jesus Christ on all man
kind.
The progress Of the ages step by
step was due to his influence and the
great charity bestowed year by year
was all the result of the divine pre-
cept and teaching Of the Savior. The
same influence was responsible for the
more charitable understanding be-
tween Christian nations and even for
the humane methods followed In pa
gan lands
DIR. Bell showed how in Japan the
higher ideals exist. There. he said.
$1,000, 900 is expended annually for
the Red Cross Society. He cited the
better protection of women and chill
dren than in former generations when
their toiling was a matter of custom.
The laws had grown kinder and the
relation between man and man had
vastly improved in every way.

virginia Democrats.

State Chairman J. Taylor Ellison
has issued call for a meeting of the
State Democratic Committee at Muir
phys Hotel, in Richmond. April 29th,
at noon, to fix the time and place OF
the State Democratic convention and
the basis of representation.
The committees report on the inves.
tigation of the Norfolk primary and
the convention arrangements will he
disposed of at the same time. Anoth
er matter that the State committee
will have to deal with is the reduction
of the size of the convention. In II
years the convention has grown from
700 or 800 delegates to from 200 tt
1, 400.
The basis OF representation hal
heretofore been one delegate to ever.
100 voters or fraction thereof. 1t il
probable that an effort will be mad
to reduce it to about one half, or on
delegate to every 200 voters.
