Roll Call Services Sunday at New
Monmouth Church
Retoyted for Tie GaFIste

Rstoyted f0T Tie GGFE1e
When the services began last
Sunday at New Monmouth Church
every available space in the large
auditorium was occupied, The
hill was covered with buggies and
other vehicles, and the large
crowd present over fowed from the
church, many being unable TO find
seats inside.
The excellent choir of the church
was augmented by singers from
neighbo,ing congregations and
when they rose to sing the long
metre Doxology, and the large
congregation joined in volume OF
sound rolled out of the old church
which set the key note of hearth
ness and unity for tbs whole ser
vice.
After prayer and the reading of
the Scripture by the new pastor,
Rev. Robert E. Steele, a number
of parents brought their children
forward for baptism, filling all the
space around the pulpit. This
part of the exercises while quite
short was very impressive. The
entire congregation joined in the
PRAYER of dedication OF the little
ones. 1t was remarked that not
only during the baptismal service
but during the whole morning
none of the many infsnts present
cried or made any noticeable dis.
turbance.
The Deacons' report was then
read, showing most excellent
condition of the Church finances.
The pastor next announced the re-
ception of 9 members, 6 by letter
and 8 on profession OF faith. Ee
called attention to the fact that
the report made to Presbytery
this spring elbows only 2l0 men,
beers, but the careful revision OF
the roll which has just been made
brings that numb up to POI. The
roll was then called and 1877 mem
bers answered to their names
while nearly all the Others answer
ed through some friend. The
names of over 100 baptized chill
dren of the church were also read
out.
Immediately following the read
ing of the roll the Communion
service was held. 1t is estimated
that nearly 200 persons partici-
pated in this solemn and impress
sive exercise. The benediction
was then pronounced, after sing
ing a favorite hymn of the former
pastor, DR.. Penick, and some
touching words of affectionate re-
gard for him by his successor, Mr.
Steele.
Almost every family brought a
large basket full of eatables and
none was allowed to go hungry
during the intermission which fol.
lowed. Promptly at 2 O'Clock che
people returned to the church,
which was again filed to its Ca
pacity, and sermon was preached
by the pastor on the text ~ vii
J never leave thee nor forsaks thee.

Bryan and Cu1berson Named by
Students Convention


Students, Convention
William Jennings Bryan OF Me-
brsska, for President, end Charles
A. Culberson of Texas, for Vice
President, was the ticket nomi-
mated last Thursday night by the
National Democratic Convention
at Washington and Lee University;
and the boilers named John a.
johnson of Minnesota, for Presi-
dent, aud Edward W. Carmack of
Tennessee, for Vice President.
The convention enlisted the in
terest of the entire student body,
as we'll as members of the faculty,
and proved to be of practical bene-
fit in it's influence upon the parti-
cipants. The young gentlemen
entered into the meetings with all
tine zest of seasoned politicians,
plus the enthusiasm of collegians.
The report of the committee on
permanent organization was made
Wednesday night, and the same
was unanimously and enthusiast
cally adopted by the election of
Mr.. W. Neal Grub as permanent
chairman; Mr.. w. M. Johnson,
permanent secretary; Mr.. Charles
S. Glasgow, sergeant-at-arms.
Secretary johnson appointed as
his assistants the following;
Messrs. Bledsoe, Caldwell, Gather,
Jackson and Witten.
The enthusiasm of the cOnven-
ton reached climax Thursday
night after the platform had been
adopted and when the nominations
of candidates fer President and
Vice-President were called for.
1t was evident that the contest be-
tween the followers of Bryan and
those of johnson were prepared
for their final strue gle. Mr. R. 5.
Keebler presented the name of Mr..
Bryan, Mr.. r B. Stevenson nomi-
mated Gov. Johnson and Mr.. n. X.
Smithson advocated the claims OF
Senator Carmack.
The balloting by the different
States was the signal for outbursts
of great enthusiasm. The storm
grew as the roll-call proceeded un-
til the outbreak among the Kansas
delegation when that delegation
was called. The johnson men
claimed they did not get fair
deal and entered their protests
long and loud. The Bryan men
turned a deaf ear to their COM
plants, and the johnson men
feeling themselves aggrieved bolt
ed the convention and named an
opposition ticket. On this episode
the Ring-tum Phi says:
"The main sensation of the con-
vention, however, occurred when
the ballot had been finished and
Secretary johnson was preparing a
report of the results. The john
son men became incensed at some
ruling of the chairman and one
OF their leaders jumped upon a
chair and yelled to the johnson
men to bolt. At the command a
good sized portion of Governor
Johnson's constituency retired
from the gym and proceeded to
the English room, where, after a
short meeting, they nominated
John A. Johnson for President
and Edward W .Carmack for Vice
President. "
