GOSPEL MEETINGS
Opening of a Series at the Me.
thodist Church Last
Evening

The opening meeting of q special
series was held LAST night in the Metho-
dist church with an attendance that
approached the five hundred mark. A
chorus choir of forty voices under the
leadership of Prof. ID. G. Linton, Of
Danville, H., WAS a marked feature.
II is expected that this choir will be
largely increased as the meetings pro-
coed.
Not for a long time has there been
so general interest in a sermon subject
as that which marked Rev. Burif's
discourse last evening. On the street,
in stores, shops and homes, the sermon
question, "What is a Christian 7" had
been the subject of discussion for a
week before. Nearly fifty written
answers had been handed in, many of
which the pastor read at the begin
ming of his Men of all oc-
equations and OF every shade of religi-
Gus belief stated their opinions on this
| vital question. The pastors own
definition, was "A Christian is a per-
son who has consecrated himself in
loving obedience to Jesus Christ. In
the progress of his sermon he said:
~ mar is not made a Christian by
orthodoxy Of belief OF by undergoing a
rite or p~artaking of a sacrament. The
Roman Catholic church has seven
sacraments the Dunkard, three; most
protestant churches, two; the Quakers
and the Salvation Amy, none; yet
there are many Christians in all these.
Subjective emotional states and rhap-
sodic experiences do not make one a
christian. The only sure test lie, Does
be love and obey Jesus Christ Z" Love
itself is ordinarily manifested more 10y
service than by emotion. When we
invite you to this altar, therefore. we
are not summoning you to join a
church, to receive a sacrament or TO
seek AN experience, but to consecIate
yourself to obey Jesus Christ. A man
may live an upright life and not be a
christian; he may eve be utterly ir-
religious. The essence of religion is
our attitude toward God our Father,
as revealed in Jesus Christ"
The sermon tonight is on The Truth
about Soul Sleeping" too orrow night
u reward of ten dollars is offered for a
correct answer to the bible question
which is the sermon subject Prof.
Linton will sing a solo every evening.

NO CONTEST.

It is gratifying to learn that there Is no dis
position on the part of any defeated candidate
of Thursdays primary to contest the result on
the strictly technical ground that the primary
was not held in strict accord with the Byrd
primary law.
II any man has evidence of fraud or irreg-
ularities 1t is his duty. whomever It may hurt
or whomever II may benefit to present that
evidence to the city Democratic committee but
no good can come of an attempt to set aside
the decision of the Democratic voters In a fair
iy conducted primary. The fact that notice OF
intention to hold the primary was not filed thir-
ty days previous to the date OF the primary was
unfortunate. but TO extent excusable
Technically IT may be true that the primary
was Illegal. but harm is done unless fraud
ulent practices were encouraged or permitted
If such were the case this itself would consti-
tute Just grounds for a contest. In fact, 1t
would make q contest imperative. To seek to
hold the primary illegal just because unim-
portant provision OF the law not complied
with is not justihable 1t would be worse. for
It would necessitate second primary late in
necessity of doing all over again that which has
already been done.
1he Tfrofnfan did not believe from the begin
ming that any of the candidates were such poor
losers as to contemplate any such action. A
second primary would be labor lost would dis
gust the people with those who made it ncces-
sary and would result in the defeat of the con-
testant by an even greater vote than recorded
against him Thursday. Assuming. as we we'll
may in the absence OF any evidence 70 the con-
trary that the primary fairly conducted
there is no reason for re-opening of the mat
ter on technical grounds and every reason
against It. No harm done by the failure
to comply with a minor provision of the law
The people have chosen whom they want and,
aside from all other considerations. the choice
should not be nulfed on any technically

with what perturbation OF soul 1t is that the
Lynchburg Netcs admits that the passage Of
the restricted suffrage bill by the Illinois leg
islature marks a distinct advance in the cause
of woman suffrage. The Ne,os can find no
cause for solace. Though It would fain believe
that the meaning OF the legislation and its sig

PEELED to admit there is no Justification for that

But It sees more than this. for It predicts,

ONE GOOD ACCOMPLISHED.

When President Wilson took ofiice It was with
the promise that he would operate in the light
of day. He has kept that promise More than
that, he is determined that, others shall do the
same--even the lobbyists. There IL a great deal
of truth In the contention that men have the
right to present their claims. and no one objects
to the exercise OF the right but they must do
1t in the open. If the presidents now famous

The Enabling Act the
Issue

1t has never been the policy OF the Herald to
advocate the nomination OF one aspirant over
another in a Democratic primary election held
for the purpose of selecting candidates for
county Offices AS the candidates are OF the
same political faith: the contest generally speak
ing. resolves itself into test Of personal popu-
larity and fitness. But new and important
issue has been injected into the present con-
test for the nomination for the house of dele
gates which involves something more than
mere personal popularity. The issue, in our
opinion. is too important to be overlooked or
disregarded by the people Of the county.
Mr.. Oliver invites the closest inspection Of
his record for no part of which," he says has
he the slightest apology to offer" This is a
bold challenge to the people TO dissent from
his violent opposition to the enabling act at
the last session of the general assembly. He
asks the people to endorse that vote. The bill
passed the house, Notwithstanding his opposi-
ton. but. it failed In the senate, tho question

ture, therefore. should be able to speak as the
