INAUGURATION A TEXT.
Local Pastors See Lessons in Recent
Ceremonies

The inaugural ceremonies furnished the
subject for several sermons by local pas
tors yesterday. Some Of them found
the text in the 1Olst Psalm, pronouncing
II THE Presidents Psalm.
Rev. DR. Charles f. Guthrie of the
Hamline NJ f. Church found in that
psalm reference to the Ananias Club, for
one verse reads:
''IIe that telieth lies shall not tarry
in my sight"
DIR. Guthrie declared that man is
a great ruler If he is great hater. But
the things he must hate the preacher
remarked ARE the sinful ones. the ones
that tend to bring civilization down. in
stead of building il up he added. The
American people have almost lost their
capacity for hating. The power of indig-
nation has almost been eliminated by
them. They look upon certain sinful con-
ditions as a joke. when they should feel
them"
Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe. pastor OF
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church. preached on the same psalm. He
said that the Puritans called the psalm
the mirror of the MagiStrate.''
1T Is a mirror In front of which mod
ern officers might well dress themselves
Dr. Radcliffe. "It announces the true
principles Of government. Every throne
is supported on the ivory pillars of mercy
and judgment. They are the two sides
of the divine character. They are inter-
woven threads in every mans secret his
tory. Each supplements the other"

last evening

lican Clubs intend to keep IL going be-
tween campaigns hereafter. Furthermore,
Mr.. Hammond and Mr.. Smith feel that

the next four years they can assist ma
terially in what MI. Smith calls 1.-The po-
litical regeneration of the South.

perform. For all practical purposes the
republican national committee and the
various state committees go out of COM
mission between campaigns. The National
League from its office in Washington and
through its representatives in the field,
intends to do business all the year round.

Mr.. Hammond. who is thought to he
slated for a good position in the Taft ad-
ministration, will take an active part in
