The Unspeakable Gift was the sub ject for the Christmas sermon by Rev. P. c. Wright Sunday morning at the Central Baptist church. with the text from II. Corinthians g, Is; Thanks be to God for this unspeakable gift. In his earnest and thoughtful discourse Mr. Wright brought out the point that in- fnie love was the source of the gift of God, that 1t is a gift immeasurable, and that the inuumerable blessings that come with 1t make up the special Christmas message of the theme. With this greatest of all gifts, shall he not give us all things givable? As con- cluding thought, the preacher placed emphasis upon the comprehensive ness of the gift expressed in eternal life and it's great results, negative and positive. in the world to come.
 In the special music for the service was the offertory anthem, Der the Hills to Bethlehem (Shelley). sung with fine expression by Mrs. Grace AL drich Crowell. Laurel and evergreen was used in the attractive decorations of the pulpit.

Altho Woodrow Wilson will receive
more than 400 electoral votes, a great.
er number than any president ever
received, his vote this year about
equals that received by W. J. Bryan
four years ago and it will fall short
considerably Of the vote received oy
Taft at that time. The total vote OF
Taft and Roosevelt in this election
about equals the vote of Taft four
years ago, seven million some. This
cn1y goes to show that Mr.. wilson re.
e,,ved solid Democratic vote while
the old Republican vote was divided
by Roosevelt and Taft. Had Pro
gressive been nominated at the CHI
cago convention, Mr.. Wilson would
probably not have been elected.

We can all remember the campaigns
Of a few years ago when enthusiastic
voters paraded mp and down the
streets attired in gaudy uniforms and
carrying torches. The band was al
ways at the head Of the procession
playing The Star Spangled Banner, or
some other patriotic air and half OF
the voters didn't know Just Why they
were amhated with their respective
parties. These conditions have
changed. Today elections are con.
drcted in a moro sensible manner
Voters give political problems more
serious and intelligent consideration
The public speaker is more Careful
Of his remarks, for he knows that his
statements are going to be printed
and read by thousands of voters who
have not been in his audience. The
newspapers are studied more gener-
ally and the voters read'ng all sides Of
the questions, form their cwn conclu
sions. No longer can they be whip
ped into line by the old party lash
There is more Independent voting

jority of about 5000 brn on the other
hand, Mr.. Hanna, Republican nomi'
nee for governor, won with MAJOR.
