BRYAN LOST CHANCE

. William Jennings Bryan lost

. had he remained, Bryan would
. have been president. No? Sure
q thing, read bit further. Bryan
. with his characteristic disregard
. for preparedness didn't look at a
= 1917 calendar before he took the
. leap. For If he had he would
. have seen that March comes
. on Sunday. Wilson's term ends
. at noon, and even II reelected
. he will not be inaugurated until
. Monday noon, March s, and the
. secretary of state acts as presi-
. dent. The Chicago Evening Post
. is the authority for this and says:
. One day Robert lansing, secre

. the United States. We say zone
. day" advisedly and with strict
. accuracy. 1t so happens that in.
. 1917 the significant date Of
. March 4 falls on a Sunday. The
. term of President Wilson expires
. on that day at noon. Even If he
q be reelected, he cannot be in
. augurated until noon of Monday.

DR.. Scovflle this afternoon will enter
the ring with ten adversar1es. From
the names he has given them-and
from the obvious popularity of sever
al Of them-he will have fight on his
| hands, too. Political corruption, mum
icipal misrule, dancing, card playing,
drinking. gambling and a few" other
things that come in the category eth
| er of HARMLESS little pleasures" or
! necessary evils" are included in the
group OF alleged pestilences which
Mr.. Scoville will attack.
The battle will last for one hour.
Dr.. Scoville declares that he asks no
quarter and gives none" He will go
! in, as he has gone in In years past, for
fight to the finish. And, where an
evangelist gets decidedly "fn bad
sometimes in preaching an amusement
sermon, is the point where he begins
to tramp on the sanctimonious toes or
a church member.
The song service will begin at 300
! o'clock. Mrs Scoville will sing.
Chorister Stewart Is arranging for an
especially interesting preliminary serv-
ice of song, it was said last night.

THE CHURCHES
EVANGELICAL Church.

In response to the proclamation OF
President Wilson and the action OF
the federal council of the churches OF
Christ in America, asking that Sun
day, October % be observed as car
menian Relief Sunday" the pastor
urges that the membership of the
Evangelical church, including the
Sunday school, and Christian Endeav-
or society, bring a free-will offering
10 the morning service for the relief
of the much abused and greatly dis
tressed Armenian people. If unable
to be present at the morning service,
hand your offering to the pastor or to
Superintendent Dunkleberger within
the next few days.
The theme of the morning sermon
will be "A Nation Fallen Among
Thieves" and of the evening, "0p-
posite Missions in Life"

has also been of an especially inter
esting nature.
The Children's sunshine chorus un-
der the direction of Mr.. Kellems is
growing larger every day and many
people are attending the services in
order that they may hear these young
people sing.
Sunday evening it is expected that
the building will be unable to seat
those who will go to hear the sum
shine evangelists. Special arrange
ments are being made to seat all those
who go early but the ones coming late
will probably have to stand if they
are lucky enough TO get inside the
building. All services in the evening
begin promptly at seven-thirty.
