Mr. CORAN'S ELECTION
(Continued.)

(Continueo.)
The local was Just steaming into
the station when fat, redfaced man
came painting out of the booking-of-
fee. Peace gave my arm a squeeze
as he passed.
THAT is Horledge, the chief sup
porter of Coran's opponent In tomor-
rows election" he whispered.
so you have been making some
new friends since saw you last?"
One or two," he said, stepping In
to a carriage.
When We arrived at Brendon, the
inspector led me off to an inn in the
center of the town. 1t was pleasant,
old-fashioned place, with black raft
ers peering through the plaster of the
ceiling and oak panelling high on the
walls. The modern Brendon had
wrapped it about, but 1t had not
changed for three centuries. You
may find many such ancient inns
about London, which watch the march
of the red brick suburbs with dig
nifed surprise, until one day the build
er steps in, and the old coach and
horses or white hart comes tumbling
down, and cheap chop and tea house
reigns in its stead. We dined early.
At half-past seven, by the grandfath-
er's clock in the corner Peace rose.
Mr.. Coran's meeting does not be-
gin until eight; but want to be there
early-come along"
The platform was empty when we
arrived, but score of people were
already on the front benches. We did
not Join them, seating ourselves near
the door. Brendon. or the graver
part of it, moved by us in a tiny
stream. A few elders walked up to
the platform with the air of those who
realize that they are something In the
world. The clock above them was
pointing to the hour when, with a
humping of feet and a clapping Of
hands, Coran appeared, and shook
hands with the white-whiskered old
chairman.
1t was while the chairman was in
Producing the popular and venerated
townsman who had come to address
them," that the red face of Mr. Hor-
ledge came peering In at the door. He
stood there for a minute, and then
modestly sat down on the bench be-
fore us. Peace touched my arm, and
we moved along until We were Just
behind him.
The chairman ended at last, and,
amid fresh applause, Coran rose and
stood gazing down at the little crowd
with benevolent satisfaction. Their
respect and admiration was the breath
of life to the man. You could see 1t
in his eyes. in his gesture as he beg
ged for silence.
"My friends"
He had got no farther when Hor.
ledge sprang TO his feet with a raised
hand.

ATTRACTS MANY
''Centurion's Testimo n.y.
Subject of Able Address
bv DR.. Atkinson at Sec
ond of Union Meetings
on Y. M. c.. A. Plaza

Although the threatening weather
doubtless kept many away, seVerai
hundred people gathered at the Y.
NJ C. A. plaza last evening in the
second of the union vesper services
to listen to the address by Dr. A
W. Atkinson district superintendent
Of the Methodist Episcopal church
of Arizona.
Taking as his text the testimony
of the centurion as recorded IN
Matthew XVII, "a, DR.. Atkinson
brought out the idea that if the Ro-
man officer, with his limited know
ledge of Christ and ignorance OF
what had been accomplished, could
testify as he did, then we who have
seen the "esults of Christs MINIS
try and the effects of Christianity
working in the world, and ought, by
reason of our larger view to TESTIFY
even more emphatically, Truly this
was the Son of God" The centurion,
he said. was like a man standing
al the foot of a mountain, so close
that he was unable fully to cOmpre-
bend its height. on the other hand
we who can look back over nineteen
centuries of progress and civiliza-
ton. and see the many results that
have been accomplished by reason
of Christianity, are able to estimate
more correctly the importance of
Christ's coming and its meaning to
the world
In support of this argument, the
| speaker said that slavery is a thing
| Of the past in all Christian countries,
| that wars are about to be abolished,
and illustrated the progress of civ
| iliZation in the change in the fam
| lily, and in the matter Of legislation
| fo-' the benefit of the laboring class
| es In conclusion he cited the pres
ent day awakening of China as one
| of the many instances of the turn
| ing of the nations of the world to
the light, and drew attention to the
| need of individual. Referring to
| conditions in Mexico, DR.. Atkinson
| praised the stand of President Will
son in refusing to recognize one
who gained authority by cold
| hiooded assassina ton of a superior. :
and expressed the hope that a speedy
solution of the problems confronting
| that country may be found

Foster Parents To
Be Up to Standard

CHICAGO.-TheC Chicago municipal
courts certified babies hereafter will
be awarded for adoption only to GER
titled foster parents. This rule, plac-
ing on strictly scientific basis
the whole question of the disposi-
tion of babies coming under the care
of the Morals court went into effect
recently.
Persons wishing to qualify as par
ents by adoption must submit to
tests by the municipal psychologist
laboratory the same as the babies.
There has been waiting list of
persons eager to obtain one of the
certified babies" ever since the
system of certification was announc-
cd.
The order was issued as a result
of an experimental test, which
showed that a childless married
couple who were about to be given
blue-eyed baby boy, were II years
old mentally, and would never be any
older.
"Would-be parents must be prepar-
ed to demonstrate by laboratory
tests that they are mature intellec-
tually," said Judge Goodnow. "They
must also be in harmony with the
mental possibilities of the infant to
be adopted, as shown by the labor
atory examination"

Advices from Russia are to the
effect that the invasion Of Po-
land by the Germans has been
checked. It is also denied that
the Germans have made any
material gains of late. The as
sertion is made that the Ger
mans were nearer Warsaw in
November than al the present
time.
From the same source comes
the news that the Germans are
evidently planning to find a new
route into Warsaw. General Won
Hindenberg has ceased his at
tack upon the Russians along
the Bzura river. and it is sup
posed that 4 new effort will be
made to reach Warsaw by way
Of the WeiIga river.
It is reported, too, that the
Russians are regaining control
Of the Carpathian mountains in
GaIicia, Austria.
People in England are reported
to be dissatisfied because the
allies are not making attacks on
the Germans. The commanders
Of the allied armies explained,
however, that the reason why
they are not making vigorous
attack on the Germans is because
it would not be possible to dis
lodge the latter, and they are
trying to avoid useless sacrifice
Of life.
1t is believed that Belgium
will soon formally be annexed by
the German government.
