Chandler Talks.

There We're calls for DR.. Chandler and
the nominee mounted the stage and
made a short address He expressed
his appreciation of the honor bestowed
upon him by his party and would be
deeply insensible If he did not recog-
nize the confidence and esteem in him
manifested by the convention. Con-
tinuing, Dr. Chandler said if he were
elected. he would use all endeavors to
see that the State had good govern
ment, honest and upright i'm every
thing. He never asked for the nomina-
tion and when solicited to become a
candidate said he had made one con-
dition and that was that he would stay
upon the ticket until the eighth of No
vember. He would rather go down to
honest defeat than to be pulled off the
ticket and someone else substituted.
Horace G.. Knowles was nominated
for Congress by Robert keenan,. The
nomination was seconded by DR.. Con-
well Banton, colored, and Charles H.
Maull.
Mr.. Knowles was called for and made
a short speech. He said he greatly ap-
preciated the action Of the convention.
The nomination was the dearest ambi-
ton OF his life, and he pledged his
honor and fun devotion to the dis
charge Of the nigh Office if il We're the
viii of the people that he should be
chosen to fill it. He considered it an

TEMPE

Rev. Chapin's sermon at the Baptist church yesterday morning:
 Text; II Kings, 2O:S-11. Topic, Heze- kiah's prayer.
 Hezekiah was rich, and the prophet Isaiah had come to deliver to him the message that he set his house in or der. for he is 10 die. and not live. Heze- klahs life work was not accomplished, and he was not ready to die. So ha turned his face to the wall and weDt and prayed. as a dying man can pray for life. Isaiah had gore and was mak- ing his way home through the city when he was stopped by the will of God and sent back to the king with another message: Thus saith the Lerd the God of David, thy Father. I have heard thy prayer. I have seen thy tears. Behold. I will heal thee. On the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord and will add to thy days fifteen years" Hezekiah looked at the prophet with an expres- sion of mingled hope and doubt Abla to go to the Lords house within three days, when told less than an hour ago that he must diei He cannot believe it. His faltering faith requires a sign. Looking out the window beside the kings bed, Isaiah sees in the royal garden the sundial of Ahaz. It was probably a pyramid of steps on the top of which stood a pillar or obelisk. When the sun arose in the morning the shadow cast by the pillar would fall right down the western side of the pyramid to the lowest step. As the sun ascended the shadow would short en and creep lp to the first step of the 2lllar. In the afternoon, as the sun

dren. "He is the creator of the ends of the earth who fainteth not. neither is weary; there is no limit of His understanding" What is all His great ness for? What does He with 1t? "He giveth power to the faint and to them that have no strength He in creaseth might"
 There is yet another lesson, prehaps spiritual application of the whole an application which Hezekiah hlms elf made of this experience. Hezekiah com posed d psalm in grateful celebration of his recovery. and In that psalm he shows that the sundial taught him e spiritual lesson in addition to the as- surance that it gave him of prolonga- tion of life. Surely, he thought, if God can turn the shadow back and so seem actually to turn time back in it's flight and cause it to repeat itself--if God can do that. He must also be able to wipe out the past entirely. And 3 HeeZkiah sang: Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back" Hezeki lh's toker was to him a sign of Gods abil- ity to redeem him from all his past life and make the past as though 1t never had been.
 And this is the supreme test both oe Gods power and Gods love. He is able to save unto the uttermost" Ire supreme measure of His love is His giving of Christ for us. Oh, sinner. God has not turned hack the shadow of the sundial to give you a few years more of life. He has done more than that. He has exhausted all His power and His love in giving you His Son that your sins might be plotted out and you have eternal life. The cross of Cal vary is your token. Will you take 1t as HeZekiah did his?
