Easter at Presbyterian Church

Easter at Presbyterian Church
Easter SUNDAY dawned clear and
beautiful. and the whole dsy SEEM
ed to be in nature in harmony with
the thought of the resurrection Of
Jesus Chr list. The morning sermon
by the pastor on "Our Great Mes
sage" from Mark IL: 6 & Z, was
listened to by q large audience.
The choir furnished carefully pre-
pared and appropriate music, which
was appreciated by all present.
One could imagine he could really
hear the Easter bells ringing.
The pulpit was surround by beauti-
full flowers.
At the evening service the house
was overcrowded. The pastor gave
The Last Week" of Christ's life.
and the choir gave several anthems
and quartettes and duets, beauti-
fully appropriate to the thought OF
the day.
At the S, S. hour the little folks
gave some appropriate exercises.
The SIS. attendance reached the
high-water mark. toward which it
has been gradually flowing during
all the past year.
1t was a good day of cheer and
hope for the work of faith for our
risen Lord.

TAFT LEADS REPS
CLARK FOR DENIS
Warm Contests For Delegates in
Both Parties

Taft delegates claimed ...... .288
Roosevelt 1872
La Toilette .......... 36
In the republican convention $50,
a majority, wins. Some Taft dele
gates are contested. and some unin-
xtructed are claimed by both Taft
and Roosevelt. Several states Sc
,lect this week.
Clark delegates claimed ......1 29
Wilson ......... So
Several minor candidates have a
few delegates. 1t requires two
thirds to nominate in the democratic
convention.
This merry war for delegates is
gro Sing IN bitterness between the
adherents of President Taft, for
mer President Roosevelt. and Ssna-
tor LaFollette, on the republican
side.
1t is becoming apparent as
time passes that it is next to the
impossible to defeat an occupant Of
the White House for his party's re-
nomination, If he sets out To secure
it, The power. of patronage, and
the great influence of the President
with all classes of public men is such
that he a probably secure dele
gates enough to control the conven-
+tion.
Under such generally understood
conditions. with the party's history
;and customs to contend with, it is
really remarkable that any man can
show any material strength in oppo-
sition. .. s
If the selection of a candidate
could have been left entirely with a
direct vote of the members of
} the republican party the result
might be different. Roosevelt is
greatly admired by the masses of
the republican party. because of his
courage and honesty, and his human
sympathies for mankind. He is a
fighter. and is undoubtedly a great
force in the public affairs of the
country. As a successful party
man he is cordially disliked by
democratic leaders. who fear his
nomination would mean a sure re-
publican victory, aided by the votes
of many of the rank and file Of their
un party.
Senator La Toilette will be third
in the race. and has very little
chance of nomination, but he is a
persistent. ambitious and able poll
tician. playing for position in the
future.
Should the fortunes of life and
death favor him, like the removal
Of Taft or Roosevelt from the scene
Of action, ne would Immediately
step INTO a position of great promi-
hence in the republican party.
On the democratic side the lead
ers are Speaker of the House Champ
Clark, and Governor Wilson. of
New Jersey. both mildly endorsed
by Bryan, although many people be-
lieve he ia himself a tentative candi-
date and hopes for a deadlock IN the
convention. There are also half a
dozen other candidates with a few
delegates. 1t is claimed the field
