the departing pastor was needed it
was found in the COSMOPOLITAN con-
gTegation. Not only Congregational,
lists. but members OF other CHURCHES
and cresds were there to hear DR..
Williams.
The pastor took for his subject the
little story OF David and his aides
who took refuge in the cave at the
end OF a bloody day In the midst o.
thees warlike seen Is the kings mine,
went back TO his boysicoi, and he
longed for draft Of water from ths
well beside the gate. Three a. his
men fought thu way through the
enemy and brought back the desired
water. But then it took on the APP
pearance of an offering to God which
the king poured out before Him.
DR.. Williams pointed out the fact
that the scene was laid at the time
that the measure of man was his
ability to fight. He outlined ths fight
ing of that day, speaking of the var
GUS tribal wars and how they were
frequently carried on He then out
lined the situation as the Bitie gives

some thought OF beauty and sweet

to keep alive this little light of love

Dr. Williams laid emphasis on the
fact that the inspiration OF this deed
lay in King David. He said it never
could have been attempted had no.
the men felt the inspiration and love
from their leader. God should be our
inspiration he said, in drawing the
analogy.
1T IS only to the man who lives
near God that Godlike things are
possible" he said II we let prayer
die in our hearts, gentleness goes. We
must keep the light Of love burning
in our hearts"

Champ Clark, IN Iowa
.LRY Smith u Frr1

WASHINGTON Feb. when the
house Of representatives was called To
order on Saturday last. by temper
AIRY speaker. there were very few
persons in the capitol building who
had any idea where the great party
leader had gone: some even supposed
that he might be i'll.
Champ Clark does not neglect his
public duties to 90 on the lecture
platform, nor to make money iectur-
ing When the congress is in session
he Is always on the job. Hence,
when his absence was observed there
we're many inquiries made.
Only few we're at once told that
the leader OF the democratic party
had gone to Iowa, to make a political
speech in the second district, 20 help
elect another democratic member OF
the house OF representatives, in place
iof the late Congressman Pepper.
Speaking of Colonel Henderson. the
senior senator from Iowa, Mr.. Allison
once said. The speaker belongs to
all OF the people: just as the presi-
dent does, and Dave Henderson is
wholly impartial in his high Office OF
speaker
Practically the same may be said OF
Speaker Champ Clark. Az speaker OF
the house of representatives he be
longs to all of the people; and he is
an excellent presiding officer. But,
above all things, he is a democrat: a
natural leader OF men, successful
party leader. and Champ Clark is in
Iowa on a political mission. Although
the presidential nomination was stol-
en- from him, when he had majority,
he has kept right on in his political
course, and deserves the high praise
which his friends bestow upon him,
for leadership. unselfish manliness
and marvellous eloquence on the hust-
ings. His eloquence consists mainly of
the plain unadorned utterance of the
common sense views OF a man who
knows men and affairs.
