BULL MOOSE MAY NO FOLLOW
ROOSEVELT INTO c. o. P.
New York, June %. - Theodore
Roosevelt may have more trouble
than he anticipates in handing the
100000 Bull Moose voters over to
the Republican party. This was the
gist of opinion heard in political cir
cles today, following the report that
the colonel was going to ask his for
mer followers to support Hughes as
the only way to defeat Wilson.
It is no secret that many of the
Progressive leaders, such as Ray
mOnd Robins, William Allen White,
Victor Murdoch and Harold Ickes, do
not relish the idea of following the
colonel into the G. o. P. In fact, in
many quarters the kick is heard that
the colonePs action is the result of
a deal with foxy George Perkins and
the Old Guard.
Roosevelt has sent to the printers
a 3,OOO-word statement which will
be read at the meeting of the Bull
Moose national committee to be held
in Chicago Monday. It will point to
the present Mexican situation as one
reason for urging the defeat of Will
son.
What the fate of the third party
will be is hard to guess. It looks now
as though it will pass out of exis-
tence as a national party and the
leaders will be divided between Viii
son and Hughes. Many of the real
PrOgressives are for Wilson, it is
said, for his action in appointing a
man Of the caliber of Louis D. Bran
deis to the supreme court.
Jas. Garfield has already knocked
at Hughes door and asked to be TAX
en- back into the fold. George Per
kins, who is blamed by the Bull
MoOsers for scUttling the Progressive
ship, seems already fairly started on

too much in 1912 ever to fall quietly
in line again. And it is gently limited
they have also sickened of their one
time idol, Theodore Roosevelt. It is
feared that as a protest against
Roosevelt and Perkins many of them
will be found in the Wilson camp.
One part Of RoOsevelt's statement
that has angered the Progressives is
his reference to Chas. W. Fairbanks.
After praising the G. o. P. vice pres
idential candidate, he leaves the Pro-
gressives free to vote for John NJ

wish
James Garfield says he believes the
Progressive national committee will
endorse ROOsevelt's statment.

in a sermon on The Cup of the
Devil at the First Brethren church
last night. The same thing is true
in every walk of life. 1t is the
greatest sin Of the day"
The text Of the sermon was "Ye
cannot drink the cup Of the Lord
and the cup Of the devil" This
means you can't be a 'gOod-LOrd-
good devil sort of "A fellow" said
Rev. Thomas. There is no neutral
Christian or not a good Christian.
You can't love Jesus and the devil
at the same time.
do you know that a professor
once said 10 his class, The thing
that makes man the most miserable
creature on earth is that he has one
foot on worldly things and the other
on spiritual things. DR. Henry
Drummond has said that the reason
is because we do not fully embrace
its teachings.
The text refers to the impossi-
bility Of serving two masters. Divid-
ing affections is an impossible task.
The task of the church today is to
bring the world to "A strict conscious

subject Of the sermon given Monday
night by Rev. c. a. Decker at the
First Baptist church. in which he
likened the story Of King Hezekiah

The trustees were in charge OF a 20
minute service. preceding the talk

Rev. Decker told the story OF the
wicked Ahaz, king of a territory of
Israel He was followed on the
throne by his son, Hezekiah. who
was exceptionally good. He restor-
ed the religion and temples that had
been destroyed by his father. and
invited the people to come into his
kingdom.
This story proves that when a
man gives his life to God he can
be good. no matter who his parents
were or what his environments have

a business man in Columbus, o." he

he would secure the names of young

that evening a young man came for

the men who had been saved by the

is obvious" said Rev. Gardiner. as
he urged his listeners TO become soul

I'VE must know the real secret
of power" continued Rev. Gardiner
I'VE must take our lesson from the
early disciples of the church. These
men did not have power because of

rotary, Speaks at StuII
M. E. Services.

IF there is To be a revival in this

secretary OF the Young Mems Chris
tian association last night at the re-
vival services in the Stull Memorial
Methodist Episcopal church. 1--WE

and do what He has asked us TO do
What might the church have been
if its followers had always Obeyed the
call of God instead of fearing that
they could not do what God had
asked them TO do. This call has
come To many men in the history OF
the church and the few who have
answered it, have done much for
God"
st. Paul responded To the sum-
mons Of God, and became the apos.
tie of the Gentiles Mel TrOtter,
once a drunkard and enemy of the
Lord. became a great general i'm the
service of the Christ"
These examples OF the past are "A
challenge 10 the man of today. If We
could meet this challenge the church
would go forward by leaps and
bounds as il should. We would fear
lessly attack the saloon, lend assist
ance to the unsaved and preach the
gospel by our individual lives as well
as by mouth"
THE need of the day is Law evange-
lism. Men are afraid OF hurting their
business. of the ridicule Of others. or
OF their own weakness. and so they
refuse to take their stand for Christ.
Try to get in touch with God ard
realize "a little of Ills reality. This
is the way TO be Christians. and TO
