cupied a seat adjoining that of the Ne
braskan. twas noticed that MIR. Wilson
was assiduous in efforts to eliminate from
Bryan's mind anything which might have
been retained therein indicative of an
linus. And MT. Wilson made a felicitous
speech which admittedly pleased the
peerless wonder. There is said to be
no doubt but that the Impression shade
upon him at that time had much to do
with Bryan's disobedience to the man
dates of his state when in convention.
He not only refused to support Clark,
but led the fight against him which
! brought about his defeat.
After the dinner, the candidates will
/ become candidates in the open. and the
game will be begun. For that reason
there is keen speculation as to what the
harvest. will be. Republicans as well as
democrats are on the qui vive.

SPIRITUAL VISION
URGED ASPANACEA
Rev. G. Calvert Carter SAYS
Seek Heavenly Help and
Stop Greed
ASSERTS IT'S A WORLD NEED

Profiteering would stop and greed
cease if men recognized their own weak
nesses and besought God for spiritual
vision.
That was the theme of the Rev. G..
Calvert Carter's Lenten talk at st.
Stephens Church this noon.
"If there is no desire to ask for help
your religion is sham" said Doctor
Carter. Knowing your own deficien-
cies as you do-for your conscience tells
you-if you do not ask for help, you
need expect none The world. the
Church, the community and the home
lack spiritual vision.
IF we could realize that we repre-
sent God as his actual sons, our bust
nesses would prosper and we would be
able to meet the great problems that
confront our nation TODAY. Every man
would look to his brothers good and
profiteering would stop. We should
pray for this virtual VISION
Interest In Church Reunion
Bishop Talbot, at the service in the
Garrick Theatre, recommended that
people get better acquaintance with
the personality of Christ.
Never before was there q greater
interest in the reunion of the two or
three hundred camps into which the
church is divided. More and more there
grows the interest in the personality
of Christ. and never before was it
stronger in the consciousness of human
"Not because of any greater interest
in theology, in doctrine or in systems,
but because of what He was.
Get down on your knees now and
then the bishop recommended.
Lincoln found time for daily study
of the personality of Christ and all the
great men that have meant anything to
us have found time to read the pictures
Of His life and apply His teachings to
the contacts with their fellowmen."
Bishop Rhinelander was unable to
talk at the Jlocesan Church of st.
Mary's, Broad and South streets, to-
day. owing to his detention at another
s"rvice. His place was filed by the
Rev. Samuel B. Booth, assistant clergy
man at that church. The Rev. Mr..
Booth made ''prayer" the theme of his
talk, urging the congregation to deeper
and more FREQUENT prayer.
