was accorded to him and Mr.. Francis
strobe to the platform. Tears were
rolling down his cheeks. Grasping
the hand of Mr.. Bell, Francis turned
to the great audience and in CULVER
ing tones delivered a eulcgy of the
dead statesman. Mr.. Francis left
the stand with tears still rolling
down his cheeks.
Colonel w. A. Haldeman, of the
Louisville Courier : Journal, then
jumped upon the platform and de-
clared: 81 also want to second these
resolutions in favor ofRour dead ex-
President"
Chairman Bell was about to put
Dunn's resolution to a vote of the
convention when there was a great
outburst of Parker! Parker! Par
kerr"
Judge Parker walked slowly up
the steps to where Bell was standing.
Mr.. Bell put out his hand, which
Parker accepted. At that moment
the fierce cries for Parker broke out
again. Holding in his hand a bit of
typewriter paper Judge Parker
waved his hand at the audience and
1t becoming quiet Judge Parker read
a Cleveland resolution prepared by
him. When he had finished he said:
Il second the resolutions offered
by the gentleman from Nebraska"
Temporary Chairman Bell then
announced that the resolutions would
be put tt a rising vote. The vast au-
dience rose silently and then Mr..
Bell announced that the resolutions
in honor of the memory of the great
deceased" had been unanimously
adopted.
After the announcement by the
chairman of the meeting places of the
various Committees, all of which
were ordered to assemble at 5 p. M,
the convention adjourned out of re-
spect for the memory of Mr.. Cleve,
land, having been in session two
hours and eight minutes.

lions Richmond P. Hobson made an

Our Music Lesson.

My soul, thou art receiving a music
lesson from thy Father. Thou art
being educated for the choir invisible.
There are parts of the symphony that
none can take but thee. There are
chords too minor for the angels.
There may be heights in the SYM
phony which are beyond thy scale
heights which the angels alone can
reach. But there are depths which
belong to thee, and can only be
touched by thee.
Thy Father is training thee for the
part the angels cannot sing, and the
school is sorrow. / have heard men
say that He sends thy sorrow to prove
thee; nay, He sends thy sorrow to ed
ucate thee, to train thee for the choir
invisible. In the night He is prepar-
ing thy song. In the valley He is
tuning thy voice. In the cloud He is
deepening thy chords. In the storm
He is enriching thy pathos. In the
rain He is sweetening thy melody. In
the cold He is molding thine express
sion. In the transition from hope to
fear He is perfecting thy lights and
shades.
Despise not thy school of sorrow,
oh, my souli 1t will give thee a
unique part in the universal song

A strong Gordon of police was
stretched about the Auditorium be-
fore the delegates began to arrive.
The sidewalks were roped off to as
sist the officers in handling the
throngs that looked on, and mounted
police kept a passageway clear for
those holding tickets.
On two streets fronting the Audi
forum great banks of snow gave a
cool greeting to the visitors. From
the mountain heights the snow had
been brought down on a special train
and hauled through the city in carts,
and many INDUCED in a snow battle.
The day was by no means hot,
however, and the only effect of the
snow was the novelty of an icy street

Two boxes away from them, prac-
tically unnoticed, sat Mrs. Ruth
Bryan Leavitt, daughter of William
j. Bryan, in another box, surrounded
by a group of women friends. Mrs.
Leavitt probably displayed the keen
est interest in the proceedings of all
the 10,580 spectators and partici-
pants.
On the floor in the spaces reserved
for delegates and alternates were a
number of women from the States
where the gentler sex have won the
right of suffrage. In the Utah sec
ton was Mrs. H. J. Hayward, of Salt
Lake City, and among the Utah alter
mates Mrs. Sarah V~entress. Mrs.
Harriet Hood, of Thermopolis, has a
seat among the Wyoming alternates.
Easily the most conspicuous delegate
in Colorado's section was Mrs. Mary
Carroll Bradford, one of the "big
four" of the State. None of the
women delegates took an active part
in any of the proceedings of the con-
vention.
AS the delegates gathered the
chief topics of discussion were the
platform and the Vice-Presidential
nomination. Although the foes OF
William j. Bryan had not yet given
up hope of being able to prevent the
Nebraskan's nomination on the first
ballot, nothing could stem the Bryan
tide, which continued to rise higher
and higher.
1t was 1925 p. m. when Chairman
Taggart finally got complete order In
the Auditorium and formally opened
the convention with a brief speech.
Archbishop Charles ]. Keane, OF
Wyoming, who was then introduced
pronounced the invocation.
Next came the reading of the nom
nations of temporary officers.
Ex-Congressman Theodore A. Bell
of California, the temporary chair
man, was brought to the platform by
a committee composed of Governor
Newton G. Blanchard, of Louisiana,
Ex-Governor j. Taylor Ellyson, OF
Virginia, and big collie" James, the
siz-foot Kentucky Congressman.
Mr.. Bell in his speech attacked The
opposition party for insincerity; he
walloped the trusts and declared thai
the Democratic party was not against
property, but against monopoly, an6
this sentiment provoked the wildesi
cheers. He criticised what he called
the shameful compliance of the oppo-
sition; he attacked the Chicago plat,
form; he was especially severe on the
Administration. He told the dele
gates all the shortcomings, from g
Democratic standpoint of the Repub.
licans at Chicago.
1t took Mr.. Bell an hour and
half to deliver his speech.

ed at the French Protestant Church
in Soho square.
The wedding party consisted mere
ly of the Prince and his bride, the
witnesses to both ceremonies, Baron
de Fontenilliat and c. Bonchauvin,
and the Princes private secretary.
Prince Helie de Sagan said, after
the ceremony:
Eyes, it is true l have changed my
religion. I didn't want to be halt
married and I didn't want anybody
to say my wife wasn't married to me,
for you know we couldn't be married
in a Catholic church. | have made
my declaration of faith and became a
Protestant upon my marriage in the
French Reformed Church to-day"
An amusing mistake occurred on
the way to the church. The cabman
stopped at a Catholic church and the
couple dismounted before the mis-
take was discovered.
The Princess walked slowly up the
aisle of the empty church on the
Princes arm as the organ played a
hymn. In church the contrast be-
tween the pair was most noticeable.
The Prince vas excited and voluble,
while the bride was pale and impas-
sive as a statue. She went through
both ceremonies like an automaton.
She was a pathetic figure as she stood
in listless attitude beside the Prince
in the bare French church, ultra
Protestant in its extreme severity,
without a friend or a relative, the
only congregation being a few news
paper reporters and some loafers at
tracted by curiosity. She first stood
and then sat beside the Prince in ut
ter stiffness while Pastor De Gremont
read in French the long exhortation.
Instead of kneeling during the great
er part of the ceremony the couple
were seated.

God Watches Us Lovingly.

HAN
The thought of Gods eye upon us
is usually looked upon as a thought
to strain and bride us in the hour Of
temptation and caEelessness; and so
1t is. But with Uur selfish love of
forbidden things we miss what is
meant not merely to restrain us, but
to be the greatest and most unfailing
of our comforts. The thought that
God sees us~always is His great en-
couragement and help to His children
in doing right. His eye is not the eye
of a Judge and ruler only, but of a
shepherd and father, the lover of the
souls of men, these poor souls of ours
and of our brethren, not sparing even
His own Son for them. We are being
watched by an eye of tenderness and
sympathy deeper and truer than even
that of any man on earth for his suf-
fering friend.-Clurchr
