For the great. sound heart of The
American people. who. abherring war
In other lands consecrate our own TO
honorable peace and the opportunity
Ct serving all humanity in its return
to those peaceful paths from which
we have not strayed.
For the little things of life-the

friendly hand, the cheering word that
iightens the days burden, the help up
the steep path of daily. life and duty.
For the larger things-the love Of
home, and family and country, and

When We have reached the point Of
discarding state lines in our system Of
government it will be time to discard
the recognition of the state unit in
electing the president The popular

to every man the privilege of working

Just so he served the Lord and was
willing to stand up for the cause. Ser

lect his own department of church ser

five counties made the difference be-

and the highest Republican eector
5,631, the lowest Democrat having
that majority.
Both parties admit that a big dis

come from the three most populous
counties of the State, San Francisco,
