CHURCH HOME SUNDAY
Rev. Robert Gordon Celebrates First
Anniversary of Passionate.

Rev. Robert Gordon has completed
his first year of service at the FIRST
Baptist church and the ann1Versary
will be appropriately observed on sun
day.
DR.. Gordon aid today:
IT have just completed a years
work as pastor of the First Baptist
church and it has beer one OF the
most delightful years of my lire. You
know it is a real satisfaction to a min
lister to be associated with a group OF
people who are aggressive and who
are willing to do even an unusual thing
once in a while if thereby desired re-
suits may be attained.
1.-THE modern church must nave the
spirit of dignified and forceful enter
nrise- There never were more counter
attractions nor was there ever a Tune
When the work of the church was
more needed than at this present hour.
The completely and intensity OF lie
in this big, busy, modern world makes
the place of prayer and worship, the
place where the truth of God shall be
impressed upon the minds of men and
lofty ideals made allurins more neces-
sary by far than in the simple, easy
going days of our fathers.
ST know there is a good e of
loose thinking regarding the church.
There are those who accept ChrIsllan-
ity and expect it to propagate ItselI
and affect the world as Il vague infu-
ence but those who know the past
know thai from apostolic times to the
present the effective power OF Chris
tinanity has been its congregation. its
organization.
Religion may exist apart from the
church Just as wisdom may apart from
the school but there is little general
culture where there are no schools n
Christianity has never made an inn
preston in any land without the
church. On Sunday We are to have a

instructions to his leaders were that
his name should be withheld. 1t was
pointed out, however, that Colonel
R~oosevelts expressed desire in this
regard might not control those dele
gates from states where flat Roose-
welt instructions were given. With
Colonel Roosevelt out of the fight in
this convention and President Taft's
denomination apparently a %foregone
conclusion, chief interest conferred in
the nominee for vice president.
Vice President Talk.
h name of Vice President Sher-
man, Governor Hadley, Senator Ken
yon of Iowa, Senator Borah of Idaho,
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler of New
York, John Wanamaker of Phila-
delphia were most frequently named
in this connection. Leaders chose to
avoid discussion of the vice presi-
Dental question until they had COM
pleted the nomination of the presi-
Dental candidate. Next to the vice
presidential question, the subject of
the new rules to be presented to the
convention aroused greatest interest
among the politicians. 1t was appar-
ent that leaders in the progressive
wing of the party were prepared to
launch a bitter attack upon the rules
which might take or dimensions of a
general fight between the Taft and
Roosevelt c~ontingents.
If todayS program at the Coliseum
goes along in the expected channels
the convention will stand forth unique
in party history as one which opened
with every probability of a spectacu-
lar floor fight and continued demon
STATIONS concluding with but one or
two worthy of note.
Weary and Irritable.
1t was a weary, irritable crowd of
delegates hat assembled for the ses-
sions of the convention today. Many
who were preparing to leave Chicago
or had departed during the night were
represented by their alternates and
scores of others planned to go tonight
no matter what happened. There
was much talk and conjecture in all
quarters as to just what Colonel
Roosevelt would do after the final ad-
Journment of the convention in case
he is not nominated. His plans for
the organization of a new party were
commented upon freely.
In this third party gossip it was
said that a convention would be called
probably in August at which the
progressive of both the Re
publican and Democratic parties
would be asked to participate. Not
only Colonel Roosevelt's name, but
that of Senator LaFollette was men
toned in connection with the rumors
of the proposed progressive conven-
ton. Also it was said that Edward
Perry, chairman of the Oklahoma
delegation at the Chicago convention,
would go to the Democrat national
convention at Baltimore to make
to the progressive element
in the Democrat party.

HOPE TO FINISH TODAY.
National Republican Convention En-
tiers Upon the Fifth Day.

Chicago. June 22.-It was the hope
of party leaders as the fifth day OF
the Republican national convention
opened to conclude the work late
tonight. h leaders were inclined to
think that all the necessary work OF
the convention could be accomplished
by that time.
The leaders. it is said, have agreed
upon a tentative program, which,
however, will be subject to sudden
change if there are unexpected devel-
on the floor of the conven-
ton. According to this program.
there will be morning. afternoon and
night sessions of the convention. with
the nomination of a presidential and
vice presidential candidate as the eli
max of the final session.
But If events force the convention
over until Monday it was intimated
today that there would be at least two
days OF debate next week before a
conclusion should be reached.
Some of the politicians talked of
rumors which could be taken
to indicate that perhaps yesterdays
comparatively prosaic happenings
were but the calm before another
storm. 1t was strongly indicated that
Colonel Roosevelt's name would not
pc presented to the convention at all
except without his consent. His final

cause is the restlessness of our

FOR THE LAWN OR PARKWAY
The Gamma, as an Ornament, May
Truly Be Considered as Abso-
lutely Indispensable.

As an ornament In the lawn or park
way the Gamma has become indis-
pensable. 1t Is noted for its endurance
OF the hot sun. Its leathery foliage
always looks fresh and green: tho
hotter the sun the more abundantly
the cannas flower.
Cannas also do well In the shade,
although they flower far less freely
under such conditions. Cannas should
be planted in very rich garden soil,
which should be mixed II possible in
equal proportions with well rotted
manure
When the plants are growing freely.
they should be watered freely. Set
the plants Is inches apart each way
and II more than one kind is used be
careful to plant the taller varieties
in the center of the bed-.if it be cir.
cular-with the dwarf varieties outside
or In front. Varieties may be obtained
which will reach the height desired,
Gamma beds as rule should be plant
ed to single color. An excellent bor-
der for a Gamma bed Is saliva.
There are hundreds of named varie-
ties of cannas, with large flowers and
with small, tall and dwarf growing. A
large variety in color both Of blossoms
and foliage may be obtained.
Should plants which have been
started In a greenhouse be set out, they
should not be transplanted until all

Artistic Park Building.

In small cities and towns We find
but one park, as a rule, and this OF
very limited extent. Scientific plan.
ming and planting will make this area
appear several times as great and pos.
sess at the same time the highest ar.
tistic value. Gracefully winding roads
and paths, with changing views and
vegetation at each new turn will make
very small park or garden seem OF
unusual interest and extent.
1t must not be thought from the
foregoing that the very best effects
may be gained in this way or that
the fundamental elements of a fair
sized park are Its roads, paths, and
other accessories, Cor these are really
its necessary evils. The essential ele-
ment In an ideal park is Its natural
landscape beauty, the undulations OF
surface: canyons, hills, long level
stretches, or water, etc. All these, In
proper combinations and notifications
work the, ceaseiess change and give a
fresh charm to every part. After this
comes the vegetation, and last OF all

Where Every One Loves Gardens.

In Japan every one loves gardens.
knows gardens and makes gardens.
The children aniuse themselves with
toy gardens instead of mud pies, and
model relief maps in the sands OF
school Fairgrounds. In the recent
wars the soldiers, after long marches,
amused themselves by making little
home landscapes before their tents.
In more remote times emperors and
shoguns abdicated and joined or
established monasteries in Kioto,
that they might the better mediate
upon the eternal truths, and enjoy
gardens of their own designing.
