Why do we mourn for dear ones
When Jesus takes them home?
We know that he viii care for them

For God has promised In His word
The dying ones to bless.
And he will take them in His fold
Where they Will be at rest.
Though his face be missed forever
And his voice forever gone
Some day we shall meet him,
On the happy shore beyond.
He has now crown of glory
And happy home above;
He has left his pleasant home,
And his dear friends he loved
In his happy home he Is resting
From this sinful world he has gone
When the sun shines out In glory,
We shall meet him in the morn.
Fifteen years he has been with us
In this world so full Of grief;
But now all troubles are over.
And he has obtained that blessed
sleep.

Insurgents in the Big Confer
ence Say Bishops Are Too
Conservative.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. May En-
surgency has broken out among the
delegates to the general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church. now
in session here The conference is di-
yided between progressives and con-
servauves. and a clash between them
on most of-the important matters that
are to come up for discussion is an
ticipated by those who have watched
the church sessions in the past. The
address Of the bishops. which. accord
ing to the conservatives, is a daring
and progressive document. dealing with
a number of questions in church af-
fairs that have been troublesome in
the past, is regarded by the progress
sives as conservative almost to the
point Of being reactionary. With this
wide difference Of opinion already de
veloped. it is expected that clash will
come when the matter of church disci
pline is up for a vote and when other
matters are brought before the body.
Among the questions expected to
elicit warm discussion is the matter
Of church publications There are
nearly dozen papers sanctioned by
the church plan to consolidate
some and eliminate others, to reduce
the number Of publications to four,
with a Uniform subscription price of
$3.50 has been offered in a resolution
nov before the conference.
Another question on which the line
up lis expected to show is the question
Of the retiring Of bishops. It has been
RECOMMENDED that age Of retiring be
reduced over that at present fixed. and
that bishops Of = wears Of age be com

MARYLAND VOTE
BIC FOR CLARK
He Polls Harmon's Strength,
Too, in Primary-G. o. P.
Fight Is Close.

BALTIMORE. May 6.-With each Of
the candidates-bo Democrats and
Republicans-cla victory. Mary
land today voted in her first presiden-
tial preference primary. With sharp
contests between both Democrats and
Republicans. a heavy vote was being
polled all over the state.
The primary has resulted in one Of
the most interesting political fights in
the states history because it has. de-
veloped more actual legitimate cam
paigning and. in some instances, Tess
bossing and more following" than any
other contest in recent years.
Both Roosevelt and Taft declare that
the state is theirs and in estimating
majorities in the state convention give
out practically the same figures.
At the headquarters of the Wilson,.
Harmon and Clark workers statements
claiming victory also were made by the
Democratic factions. There are hot
judicial and congressional fights in
most Of the counties which will make
the-vote heavy, aside from the interest
in the presidential primary The Dem
oeratic organization is backing Speak
er Clark and claims he will carry the
state with big majority.
The united support Of Clarks own
forces and those of Governor Harmon,
who has no delegates in the field, will
be behind him.
Friends OF, Governor Harmon in Bal
timore and in the counties will vote
first for their preference, whose mans.
will appear on the ballot, and then
they will vote for the clark delegates,
whose names will appear on the ballot
in each district in the city and in each
county This combination Of strength.
it is predicted, will elect Clark dele
gates to the state convention and will
defeat the Wilson delegates.
