largely because of the strong rivalry
between progressive and conserva-

of giving the convention to the

hottest
Another important question to be

chairman viii be acted upon. and. IL

viii have to be chosen. In this con-
neetion. the names most prominently
mentioned are those OF John Hays
Hammond, William Loeb. Charles d.
HIlles, private secretary to President
Taft, and former Governor Hill, OF
Maine, who Is now acting as tenn
porary chairman. The chairmanship
of the national committee will have
no little effect on the relative.
chances of President Taft and pro-
gressive rivals for the 1912 Dresi-
dental nomination.
The system Of selecting the del
egates for the national convention
win be threshed out at the meeting.
According to the methods in vogue
in the past. the basis for delegates
to the convention is four at large in
each state and two for each congress
sional district, besides two special
delegates from each territory. The
progressive wing. led by Senator jon
athan Bourne. Jr., president of the
National Progressive Republican
League, declares the system is mis-
representative and that delegates
should be apportioned according to
the number of republican votes cast.
Such a plan would greatly reduce
the number of delegates from the
southern states where the republican
vote lis small. However, it is de-
clared that the old system is the one
that viii prevail. the total number of
delegates being Increased from $50
at the last convention to 1,072 be-
cause OF the apportionment Of con-
gress, which increases the size OF
the house Of representatives from
591 to 63S members.
The fact that Chicago was hon
.ored by the republican national COM
vention of 1908 is being used as an
argument by both ST. Louis and the
Windy City for the 1912 conclave.
The Missourians here to boost st.
Louis for the convention say that
Chicago should not have it twice in
succession; the Chicago committee
points to the success with which
the meeting was conducted.

FOR MEAT AND MEDICINE.
These waters gave life to all with
which they came in contact Even the
salt sea in which no fish now live at
all became life-giving. and a. multitude
of fish of all kinds, as in the Mediter-
ranean, We're found in this one, after
the waters had been healed by the
stream from the altar. Now, there is
no vegetation in the Arabah in that por-
ton around the Dead sea, but when the
soil was healed by the stream from the
altar, the trees grow in such luxuriance
that instead of yielding their fruits
every season, they yielded them every
month. - '3tk ~
And so all with which the grace of
God comes in contact is revived. II mat
tiers not at all how Ruthless and how
barren a life might have been or how
deadly its influence on others, 1t be-
comes most fruitful and helpful by rea-
son of contact with Gods grace.
So much for the waters, but let us
look a moment at the trees. What has
once been a desert becomes as the gar
den Of the Lord, by the reason of the
presence Of Gods grace. The leaves OF
these trees that grew by the side OF
that river are not only pleasing TO look
upon, but they are nourisRing and heal
ing; they are for meat and for medi.
cine; they are to give strength to sup
ply the needs of the body day by day,
and from them was to be made sooth-
ing potion which would heal the bruises
and the sores of the Inhabitants of the
country.
This God intends for your life. No
one but yourself and God knows how
barren anu fruitless it may have been
in the past; but it has future of which
none can be ashamed. When you have
accepted the ever widening and ever
deepening grace which God in His love
sends from His altar, not only win you
yourself be healed, but you VIII also
be healing and helpful. It needs but the
grace of God in your life to make 1t
beautiful in the extreme; but how un-
satisfactory this beauty would be il it
had no use. But God has use for it, for
