1916 CANDIDACY
WAS NOT H|NTED
At BY WILSON
Calling on People to Judge Him
Had No Reference to Second
Term, Says President.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-President
Wilson declared today that he was
not thinking OF announcing his can
didacy for 1916 when he made the
statement IN his Indianapolis speech
recently that the people of the United
States might have chance to Judge
OF his acts.
His utterance was interpreted by
the audience and by others at the
time as a hint that he might be a
candidate for denomination. The
President explained TO callers today
that what he had in mind was that
future generations would pass upon
his acts as President.
The President refused today abso-
lutely to discuss the question Of being
a candidate. Efforts were made to get
an expression of opinion from him on
the one-term plank of the Baltimore
platform, but Mr. Wilson shook his
head and refused to answer ques-
tions He said he could not talk
about himself.

Sunday.
In this month many of our older
members have their birthday two
on last Sunday and one on next
Sunday and Father Stamper tine
preacher of the day will have a

proud of the fact that he is possibly

be able to preach.
We are inviting to this service
not only the membership of our
church but wish to emphasize that
we want this to be an "old settlers
day" and we invite you to come
and honor this day by your presence.
We were pleased on last Sunday
to look over so large an audience in
both the morning and evening
service, and are pleased at the in
creased interest in church attend
ance.
We are also pleased to note the
increase in the S. S. attendance, and
the rapid growth that the League
is making.
The District Epworth Convention
is to be held in Bucklin, Kansas on
the %, % and "a of this month and
we are hoping to send at least ten
delegates. We are entitled to II, why
not send all that we are entitled to
send.
This is the Church of which it is
said You always feel es though it
paid one to 60" We have a record
here of good music, good attendance
and short sermons that are ment to
do the soul good.
If you come once you will want
to come again, You are invited to
come.
