the pastor telling of his coming

however, preached 10 good
sized cong regation and at the
conclusion of which the quar-
terly conference convened but
adjourned to meet at the call of
the pastor.
1t has been suggested to the
/ pastor that there would perhaps
be more interest shown in the
teaching Of the Sunday School
lesson if short summary of the
lesson could be given in the Local
paper. Many people subscribe
TO the Courier who do not have
access to the lesson helps and
who having a knowledge of the
lesson might be induced thereby
TO attend the Sunday School
As comment upon next Sun
days lesson let me give the
following:
In the Paris Worlds Exhibition
there was shown a series of large
mirrors all but one of which
were so made as to distort the
/ features of those who looked into
them. In one the face appeared
long and mar row, in another il
was unnaturally broad and short
Each gave it's peculiar distortion
except the one plain mirror thai
| reflected you exactly as YOU
were. Now ancient history is 4
mirror. The peculiarity of the
Bible stC:; is that it is history
interpreted by God. 1t is {
mirror showing things as they
really are in the light of heaven

|NOPROTESTS RECEIVED
AGAINST Mr.. LANSING
Only Possible Objection Held to Be
His Lack of Active Service for
Democracy.

Cabinet officers who are extremely
friendly to the appointment of Robert
Lansing as Secretary of State have
felt only one misgiving about the Sc
lection-the opinion prominent organi-
zation democrats may have and the
criticism they may indulge in because
some man conspicuous in the service
Of the party is not selected. Although
it has been believed for some days
that Mr.. Lansing was virtually the
choice of the President, no criticism has
been received from any direction.
Democrats generally. 1t is believed. are
so fully In accord with the President
that they recognize 1T to be his duty
to choose the best-fitted man for the
problems that now confront the admin
istration rather than make the choice
from political motives. Mr. Lansing
never has been active as a democrat
and his political rating has been that
of an independent with democratic
leanings.
President Wilson himself today said
he had not made up his mind but II
is known that he has very high re-
gard for Mr.. Lansing and the opinion
is growing that the appointment is
practically settled.
