OMAHA PREACHER DISCUSSES
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
VICE PRESIDENT.
Spent Pleasant Hour With Him Durino
Summer and Gives Impressions Of
Man Of integrity, Strength Of
Character and Manhood-FiIIed
With Ambitions Of Life.

Rev. Edwin Hart jerks paid a glow.
ing tribuate to James r. Sherman of
New York, republican nominee for
vice president, at the First Presbyte-
rian church Sunday morning, says the
Omaha Bee. He told of his first meet
ing with Mr.. Sherman, when the lat
ter was a school boy, and delivered his
graduating Grafton. He told of the
rudy, round-faced boy he knew at that
time, and then told of the way he had
followed his career and development,
until at the present time he was q
broad-minded man.
Visited the Candidate.
While on my vacation this summer
I called on Mr.. Sherman and spent ov-
er an hour with him." said Rev. Mr..
jerks, land as he sat before me, the
picture of integrity, strength of char.
acter and manhood, I could but think
of his wonderful development in a
few short years from the round.faced
boy filed with the ambitions of life.
God, who has ordained the means as
well as the end, has chosen a world
where a man is left free to sin.
Mar a Free Agent.
"The first great thought of theology
Is God and man is a free agent. God
has left you free to do the things of
the world if you will. Why do We not?
Because from the time when you lay
in the cradle the good influences of
home and the church have been
thrown around you and all the sweet
~persuasions Of life have laid their
hands upon you to do as you please,
but round about you he throws the
cords of love of a parents heart. You
could more easily break cords of brass
tina the bands of a fathers love with
which you are surrounded.
Watching Character Develop.
Are you going to let the potter pick
out the sweet things of your life and
make the whole more beautiful? The
Divine Potter is shaping your life. The
good book says hat whatsoever VIII.
may come SO what excuse have you
in not assisting in shaping your fG
ture?
Picturing Mans Career.
Newspapers n magazines have dis
covered TIE force of illustrations to
assist in making forceful a thought.
Lately it has become the fad to take
a prominent man and give a series
of illustrations of him as he looked
at the different stages of his caree-
In those pictures you can see the un-
folding of his character; we see a
personality grow and become stronger
under our gaze. An infant under your
gaze develops into a stalwart man.
The influences of environment assist
to unfold and shape a character. Man
is but raw material upon which the en-
vironments stamp a character"
