 A test of real Americanism is at 1 hand in the election of a president. ] Of whatever party the next president shall be, the people will be loyal to him as our president.

 SWain'S Lectures Fascinating Those who are following the course of lectures by Rev. Richard l.. Swain, Ph.D., are finding them very fascinat- ing and stimulating. They are deal ing with fundamental religious ideas, stated in new and attractive forms The subject of Ahe lecture in the Methodist church last evening was Does God Have a Body?" The pre- ceding lectures have presented the inn minence of God, the universe being the instrument of his spirit God has clothed himself with the universe. But there is a sense in which God has a human form, speaks in human lan- guage, and we can meet him face to face. God has made every human body for himself as much as for us.
 The speaker said that he first met the God that created the world In his mother, whose heart and will had be- come like God. If God was not in her, then there is no God. When Clara Barton at the impulse of God went on the battle field for her noble Humanitarian work, which is now or ganlzed in the Red Cross, God went on the battle field as much as Clara Barton.
 Jesus was both God and man. Jesus was the only normal man in the world, the only man who was up to the highest capacity of our nature. He was completely united with tho loving, rational will of the Father. And God becomes perfectly expressed In human form, Sinful men Killed Jesus, and when Jesus died, God was dead, so far as speaking through Jesus in human form in the earth.
 We can never be satisfied. and God cannot, until we become like Jesus. The life of not one only, but all our lives together are meant to be beautiful revelation and manifesto tion of God. No man can find his full capacities until he finds God and is inspired by him. If man turns away from God, he turns from his best self. If it had been possible for man to be without sin, every human being would have been a Goldman, a perfect image and expression of God.
