Washington, October 2i.-(En Route with Governor Cox.)-Surprises in cleo tion results for his opponents in many parts of the country were predicted by . Governor Cox while the democra tic presidential candidate was en route to- night from New York to West Virginia, where he will campaign tomorrow.
 The foes of the leagde," said the gov-- ernor, win have their surprises in New England, in some of the Atlantic states, in the middle west and the far west. l have talked with men of long experience in New York who have seen manifesto tions of public feeling in presidential campaigns and their judgment is that the tide that set in about two weeks ago is. unprecedented
 POPULAR AWAKENING
 Governor Cox in his statement declared there was profound resentment in repuo- lcan leaders back of the round robin.
 "In the last ten days" he said, and particularly in the last week, every au- dience that l have addressed has given evidence of this when the names of the leading conspirators were recited. l have in mind Senators Lodge, Brande- gee Moses, Wadsworth, Watson, Pen- rose Smoot, Newberry and Harding.

THE MAN WHO CAME BACK"
 COMING TO JEFFERSON
By EsTELLE BETHEA HALI

Many who have seen Jules Eckert Goodman's famous play, The Man Who Came Back,> which opens an engage ment of -four performances at the Jef- ferson theatre beginning Thursday night, pronounce the character of Henry Potter, "the man." as one of the greatest characters ever placed on a stage. Paul Gordon, who appears in the role, has played the part over two thousand times and claims that each performance brings him new ideas, and that he finds in Henry Potter a charac ter that brings to the player all that is truly real in the art of acting. While the part is one that taxes every nerve, yet the character Is of such fascinat- ing nature that MT. Gordon really seeks delight in the role caused from the splendid opportunities to act part in which life in all it's reality is brought out.

he said, would carry significance "shat could not be misunderstood, and further postponement of action by the Senate would be out of the question:,
 Governor Cox said he was advised that in one day 7,O0O contributions, mostly small, had been received at New York headquarters, and indicated, he said, a popular awakening to "the reactionary campaign fund amounting to millions Of dollars and spiritual fever that has seized the hearts of the people" Stating that he had spoken in thirty six states with an itinerary arranged without regard to past political align nents, the governor said:
 We are on the last turn in the cam paign. As we go back, to the middle vest it is perfectly apparent that our estimate was appraised correctly almost two months ago when the statement was made that political pluralities as estao- lshed by past election contests meant nothing this year"
 Governor Cox was accompanied this far by Joseph F. Guffey. national com mitteeman from Pennsylvania. E. IL. Moore of Youngstown, Ohio the candi- dates pre-conventon manager, was an other travelling companion of the gover- nor to remain with him.
 An enthusiastic crowd greeted Cover nor Cox at Union Station when he arr rived here. Leaving his $40 car, the Governor passed through cheering throngs to the presidents room in the station, where he shook hands with hun dreds during the hour his train stopped here Yielding to the crowds insstence for speech, the democratic nominee ex- pressed his ''deep gratitude" for the denl- onstration.
 ''To say more,"g he added, would pc to trespass on the spirit of the Sab hath. and we are religious people who respect our religious traditions. Among those who met Governor COX on his arrival were Attorney General Pal mer and Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the President.

SERIES 0F SERMONS 'DR. J. E. D|LLARD

At the Southside Baptist Church yes- terday morning Dr. James E. billiard be- ga na series of sermons on the Book or Revelation. In his introductory sermon
 Dr. billiard said in part
 The book Of Revelation is one of the least read and least understood books in the Bible. It is ny purpose to give a series of discourses upon this book. the one this morning being Introductory.
 Bear in mind~that at the time of the , writing, the Christians were subjected to, great persecution. The purpose of the author was to strengthen and comfort
 the Christians of his day and to en- courage them to, be faithful and true The book must be interpreted with this idea always in mind.
 The Greek name of the book is The Apocalypse that is. an unveiling or the revealing of things otherwise hidden, and the revealing of them in such terms that
 the initiated may understand but others
 may not. It would have been dan gerous thing for the writer to have called
 Nero by name or to have characterized imperial Rome as she deserved to be:
 but it was perfectly safe thing for him to speak of beasts and plaques, and the fall of Babylon.
 ''Fhe Christians will understand and others would not. It is foolish for us tc read into Revelation what was never in
 the mind of the writer. We must exAf- else the historic imagination and read with an imaginative sympathy if we would understand the true meaning and purpose of the book. Then bearing Tn mind that the laws of God are un- changeable and that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever-bear- ing these things in mind. we may make the application to our own times and find both instruction and comfort
 Contrary to our custom, the writer puts his name at the beginning of the letter. instead of the close. and after his
 names comes a gracious benediction for- lowed by the doxology "A ben .diction' is blessing pro- nounced, or it is the expression of the hearts desire and prayer of the writer for shis readers. Johns benediction is as follows: Grace be unto you and peace from Him which is, and which was and which is to come; and from the sevcn spirits which are before His throne; and | from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness the first born from the dead. and the ruler of the kings of the earth 1 John wishes that the Christians may | be the recipients of the undeserved favor 1, of God and deep abiding peace such as | the world cannot give and cannot take away. Do we appreciate the fact that l we are children of grace? We are born l by grace; we are reared by grace: we are educated by grace; we are redeemed 1 by grace we are saved by grace. If we get home to heaven, it will still be all I of grace.
