GOVERNOR JOHNSON'S SENSE.

Gov. John Johnson. Of Minnesota.
has a habit of saying sensible things in
5 sensible way. In his recent Thanks
giving proclamation. he went to the
root of the matter by citing "the moral
uplift that Is everywhere apparent. in
the great civic awakening, in the re-
generation Of the public conscience"
as affording the best basis for 4 be-
lief that our country is entering upon
a higher and better phase Of national
existence.
The moral uplift is responsible for
~uncovering the evils that have long
fourished without investigation. The
demand for clean methods in bust
ness and in politics. for ending graft
and favoritism are. indeed. as Govern
or johnson says. the best basis for the
belief that Our country Is entering
upon a higher and better plane"

BISHOP GALLOWA1'S NORFOLK
ADDRESS.

At the approaching session of the
Methodist Conference of Eastern
North Carolina in New Bern, Bishop
Charles L. Galloway will preside, He
is always welcome in North Carolina.
His father is d native of Brunswick
county and he is kin to Hon. Swift
Galloway and other North Carolina
G~alloWavs. His father moved to Miss
issippi before the bishop was born
and he is therefore a grandson of
North Carolina.
Bishop Galloway is easily the first
pulpit orator of his church and second
to none in any church. He is not
only an eloquent preacher but he is
also a eader in everything that MAX es
for the betterment of his country. In
Mississippi he is foremost as preacher.
Statesman, orator. and when the new
capital was finished was chosen to
deliver the Grafton that was every
where regarded as a masterpiece. In
the pulpit, he breaches the gospel of
the Son of Man. In his life as a citizen.
he breaches the gospel Of civic right
eousness and has done much to lift
tlit lilouSIt dlIu pbDlI1 administration
to a higher plane. Devoted to the
doctrines and tenets Of his church, he
is broad and catholic and in touch
with all churches and all men work
ing for religious and civic uplift. on
Thanksgiving Day, az the jamestown
Exposition, addresses were delivered
by four of the most eminent divines
of the South-among them Bishop
Galloway In its of the ad-
dress the Norfolk Landmark had the
following
Perhaps the most stirring and in
Splrlng address of the day was deliver
ed by Bishop Galloway, who is regard
ed as probably the most eloquent d.
vine in the Southern Methodist church.
In physique the bishop IS a splendid
specimen. He is tall and powerful in
frame. ard with gray hair and gray
beard h suggests a patriarch of old.
Without Unnecessary preliminary
the bishop launched into his
address. He said that patriotism in
America was a passion and duty. a re
llgion. Patriotism" he said. is a
deep passion. as deep a. the sea, and
duty is as solemn as Sinai. where God
wrote his commandments in light
ming.
This country must be as faithfully
served as it is ardently loved, said
the bishop, eff it Is to continue to
