Shown President Roosevelt's letter to
Senator Knox assailing his labor views
Mr.. Bryan today said if the president
really desired information regarding his
stand on the injunction matter all he

given the president in the campaign the
better for Democrats. He declared to-
day he win carry Ohio by large ma

better shown than in what have been
lately termed new doubtful states" Mr..

Impressive Services at Pres
byterian Church
FOR REV. ]. D. MACKENZIE
Rev. ]. W. Maccallum Delivers Charge,
Rev. W. S. Wallace the Greetings
and Rev. F. A. Poole Welcomes
Him to This City.

The Presbyterian church was we'll
filed last evening when the Reverend
J d. Mackenzie was formally installed
az pastor. The services were opened
with prayer by Rev. j. w. MacCullum
Of Manchester, n. H., and then came an
address by Rev. S. G. Brownell of West
Barnet, who spoke from the 11th chap
ter of Acts the 21st verse, @And the
hand of the Lord was with them and
great many believed and turned unto
the Lord"
Mr.. Brownell said that the prosecu.
tion Of the early Christians was not
successful and no more is it successful
today The experience Of great many
converted souls is the same today as
1t was long ago, they believe and turn
unto the Lord. Salvation calls them.
A salvation that is not only an insur-
anoe for the life hereafter, but that
makes heaven on earth Multitudes
are cast down who, if they realized that
deliverence was near would cry out
Lord save me, am perishing." There
is only one reason why they should
ho cast out and that is because tnQy
viii not accept and submit their wills
to that Of the Lord. There are but
few who do not believe in the supre-
macy of this religion, but we must be
like Paul and not ashamed Of it. We
should seek more to do the will of God
from the heart.
At the close of mis- address Mr.. rrow-
rel put the usual questions to the -as-
tor and to the congregation and thn
declared Mr.. Mackenzie formally in
stalled as pastor of the church.
Mr.. MacCallum then delivered
charge to the pastor saying that his
was the most sacred Office that man
could have, to direct souls of men to
Jesus Christ. To own millions is moth
ing in comparison and this at the same
time the most glorious privilege award
cd to man. In closing he advised the
newly installed pastor to preach Jesus
Christ and compromise on nothing !
Rev. w. s. Wallace of South Rye[
~ate then extended the greetings IF
the Presbytery to the congregation and
it upon its choice pf a pas
tor. He advised the members of the
to cooperate with tho
pastor in every plan and work for the
furthersnce of the go5pel Guard his
as something sacred te MIN
and to you
Rev. Francis A. Poole, pastor of the
church was the mkt
speaker and extended a hearty welcome
to Mr.. Mackenzie on behalf of the
churches and ministers Of the city.
At the conclusion of the services the
