why DR.. Gordon was popular in

i don't know what your dream

nifty, Cheerfulness, self reliance.
perseverance and concentration.
1t is very probable that DR.. Cor
don is tonight addressing one Of the
largest audiences of men and
women in any church in the coun-
try, and it is equally true that the
reason for his popularity lies in the
fact that he concentrates upon one
thing and eXhausts every resource
before he is satisfied that it is done
well. His preaching in this city was
a signal success and /. as his assist
ant. knew the enormous amount
of work that was eltailCd in the
magnificent product. Some of you
thought that he might hnv. given
more time to activities. but DR.. Cor
don was ever of the opinion that a
man could do but one thing well.
and that it were better to neciect
some things than to do many in an
Indifferent manner.
The world has plaudits for the
successful man and, am sorry to
say. the harshest of criticism for
the man who fail. l believe this
is due to the fact that success de-
pends largely upon the man him
self, as each normal man is given
the means for success, If he will

Christ Appealed for Faith
Through Sympathy, Said
The Rev. Donald B. Mum
inert at Church of the
Covenant Services.

Christ never made an effort to be
a contemporary OF the philosophers"
said the Rev. Donald B. Mummert,
in an address delivered last night at
the Church of the Covenant. Con-
nccticut avenue and n street north
west.
There is nothing about the life of
Jesus that is meant to appeal to the
reason. He was rather content to
appeal for faith through the expert
ences that He wrought in the lives
of His followers, through His SYM
pathetic appeal. His ompassionate
spirit, His speaking Of the things
that quicken the soul of man.
Faith is an elusive term. You
may grasp its significance at one
moment and lose it the next. often
it is like moving in the same circle,
but there is still netting tangible
in faith when you define it as trust
or confidence. We do not study
beautiful work OF art in a reason
ing attitude of mind. While we see
a material thing, the appeal arises
from the personality and spiritual
secret of its beauty.
There is a conviction in every
soul that it must depend upon
supreme one. one in whom the spirit
of truth and right and love are para
mount. This is law of the universe,
for we are so constituted in our ma
ture that these eternal principles OF
love and justice must assert them
selves if given an opportunity. The
world little understands the mean
ing OF faith in Christ, but the time
will come when men will strive after
greater faith and trust in God.
rather than making reason prc-emi
nent The world is advancing in
spiritual Things. and as it advances
faith will supplant the cold practi-
cality of reason which has not been
able to free men as God has designed

COX BEGINS FIGHT
TO CAPTURE OHIO
Democrats Make Convention
Occasion to Start State
Campaign Today
HIS SPEECH MAIN FEATURE
BY the Assnciatetl Press

Columbus, o., Aug. 17.-Ohio Dem
ocrats were meeting here today to for
mally open the state and national cam
paigns. TO adopt a state platform and
select twenty four presidential elec-
tors.
II being the home state of the head
Of the national ticket, leaders have
planned to make the occasion one In
which Governor Cox may start the
fight which they hope will land Ohio in
the Democratic column at the Novem-
Der election. His address is to be the
main feature Of the state convention.
All else Is to be secondary to the speech
of the presidential candidate, in which
he is expected to set the gauge of bat
tie for his opponent, Senator Harding,
in their home state.
Even the keynote speech by NJ. A.
Daugherty, Of Lancaster. who nomi-
mated Governor Harmon for the pres
idency at the Baltimore convention
eight years ago, is to be subordinated
to that Of the presidential candidate.
It was explained that Mr.. Daugherty's g
short address would be virtually extern
porancous. Others scheduled to speak
are Secretary of War Baker, w. A..
Julian, nominee for United States SEN
ator, and A. V. Donahey, gubernatorial
nominee.
Governor Cox indicated that his ad-
dress would parallel his six years
official record in the state with that Of
Senator Harding the Republican presi-
Dental candidate.
The reactionary candidate was on
one side and 1 was on the ether said
the Democratic nominee, adding that
'the eyes of the country are on Ohio

day that Cox on Saturday at Wheeling
had quoted Senator Harding as saying
Of the amendment to the Ohio consti-
tuition ending the old employers de-
fense of contributory negligence, as
sumption of risks and fellow servants
responsibility, "This is revolution. 1t
Is the beginning of socialism" Marion
denies that Mr.. Harding ever said any
thing Of the sort.
In the confidence that prevails here
Il is asserted that the front porch cam =
paign is adequate and this is said to
be the candidates own view, though 1t
is said to be opposed by his close ad-
visers, Senator Weeks, Senator Pen
rose and Harry NJ. Daugherty.
1t is explained that though the front &.
porch campaign has produced little OF
interest so far, it was not planned
to start it until after Cox had got
under way apd his campaign had been
revealed. Later it Is said that in spite
Of high railway rates and the relative
inaccessibility of Marion. enough dele
cations will arrive to give Mr.. Harding
all the opportunity he wants.
Correspondents Find II Dull
No one complains Of dullness and
inactivity here, except the newspaper
correspondents, and they are profes-
sional enemies of dullness and mac
tivity. They despise the motto,
Happy is the campaign that has no
history" They seize correspondent
arriving here from a point as remote
as Columbus and treat him as the in :
habitants of Tibet do an arriving
white man. His coming they regard
as an event They ask him the news
of the great political world outside.
The professionals who are conduct
ing the campaign with confidence do not
feel il to be in any sense remarkable
that weeks schedule reveals nothing
more than visit Of Will II. Hays and
some other advisers today. the coming
of q local lumbermen's association to :
morrow. with or without a speech from
the candidate. and the visit of Ohio
legislators, past and present, the next
day, with speech probably on the
League of Nations by Mr.. Harding.
Marion is different from Columbus.
It is not felt here that much depends
on the personal exertions of the can :
didate. All depends upon an already
existent state Of the public mind and
an organization to deal with it. You
encounter here the perfect flower OF
organization. At Democratic head
quarters there is not sign of orgnni
zation. There is nothing but Cox.
His is n highly personal effort. az per
sonal, as inadequate looking and as un-
organized as the adventure of David
with his sling
