REV. r. c. M'SORLEY APPRECIATED.
Asked By Federalsburg Churc b to Return
as Pastor for Sixth YaaY.

fredericksburg, Md, Jan. 3O.--Rev. r,
G MacSorlcy has been unanimously in
vited to return as pastor Of Union NJ. T..
Church, here, for his sixth year. The
action, taken some. time ago, wns again
ratified at the last meeting Of the quarterly
conference, 70 Of the 81 members Of which
were present. District Superintendent
w. Il Mowbray presided over the meet
ing.
FOLLOWING tempting supper provided
by the ladies, the years work WAS re-
viewed. Every department Of the church
was ready with report, all showing the
church TO be in finc condition. When the
pastor reported the average attendance, mt
the prayer meeting on Thursday evenings,
for the winter months to be 40, the super
intendent complimented the church on
this good showing, saying that was much
above the average of some other churches
on the district. Tho pastor reported 81
persons received into preparatory MEM
bership during the past three months. The
report Of the finance committee showed oil
bills for the year paid and money in the
treasury. Some months ago the official
board had increased the pastors salary to
81 500 and given him unanimous invita-
tion to return for the sixth year. This WAS
confirmed by standing vote by the quar-
terly conference, and by others present
who were not members Of the conference,
they having asked the privilege OF voting.
The list Of official members for the coming
year is as follows: L. ii. Chambers, W. Il.
Brown, Charles NJ Walker, J. J. Tramp
tom, Harry N. Hackett, Alonsa Elliott,
Harry T. Kinder, w. l.. Wheatley and
Ralph s, Brown, trustees; Sias Sparklin,

Britain might make, similar transaction
with some OF her debtors. These oblign-
tons, instead OF lying in our treasury,
should be offered for sale throughout
the world. Thus private capital may be
made available to withdraw governments
from some Of their existing embarrass-
mcnts. England hopes that next years
budget will show balance to the good
between internal receipts and expcndl-
turcs. In France and Italy the case IL
not so clear. In all these countries there

lie advised that confidence not be put
IN ambitious programs for solving the
question of Europes needs and stated
perhaps, even without the aid Of ten
billion dollar companies for foreign issues,
we may now be extending credits which
will embarrass the debtors terribly two
or three years hence. We should not
be averse to seeing diminution rather
than an increase In our exports. Inc
bugaboo of abnormal exchange rates is
an evil which will bring its own curse.
Let each man or group engaged in foreign
commerce or finance think out individual
problems as they arise. The resultant
action Of many keen minds on both sides
of the Atlantic will emhody the highest
wisdom. The maxim of first Importance
to remember is that gold is useful only
to settle normal fluctuations of trade,
that final settlements in the long run must
be made in goods or service or in returns
on invested capital. International loans
are n menace to the worlds peace. In
Congressional discussion few days
ago a member remarked that if Britishers
could spend a great sum in creating great
fleet he thought they could also pay inter-
est on war loans. That seems natural
suggestion. If owed you large sum of
money overdue and you noted extrava-
gance in my mode of living, you would
doubtless feel aggrieved. But think of
the danger involved in such international
pickering, such prodding into the affairs
of proud debtor nationsl How much
better, rs guaranty of future peace and
solvency, will it be To scatter throughout
the world a reasonable amount of Ger
man obligations, assuring constant,
general pressure for observance of con-
tract, while avoiding the volcanic ex-
plosions that may come from diplomatic
aroused over direct questions

Cox stepped out on the platform and
shook hands with them, thanking them
for their votes. Later he and Mrs.
Cox motored to a small barber shop in
Carrmonte, d suburb of Dayton. in the
rear room of which were the voting
booths for the election district in
which Trailscnd is located About
line waiting to vote when they ar
rived and as soon as they were recog-
nzed they were greeted with a cheer.
Many offered to give up their places
to the candidate and his wife, but both
declined and waited in line for about
twenty minutes, with a chilly wind
blowing.
Mrs. Cox Votes Faster
Cox received ballot No. 236 ut 1908
o'clock, about half a minute after Mrr
Cox received ballot No. 235. Mrs. Cox,
who first voted two years ago in
Illinois. under the state law. was
familiar with the ballots and, in fact.
emerged from the voting booth about
a minute before her husband. whose
ballot went into the box at precisely
10:17 y a. m. Cox, as he entered the
voting booth. discovered that he had
no pencil. Several were offered him
and he accepted one from man who.
when 1t was returned, said "IlL keep
this as keepsake from the next Presi
dent"
In the mean time news that the
Democratic candidate was casting his
ballot had sped through Carrmonte,
and when Governor and Mrs. Cox
emerged from the barber shop more
than 100 persons were gathered about.
Governor and Mrs. Cox drove off amid
an outburst Of cheers and wishes of
Good luck" while camera men took
pictures.
After spending the morning at Trails
end, where they lunched, Governor and
Mrs. Cox drove to the farra near Jack
sonburg on which the Governor was
born. Here he and Mrs. Cox spent d
quiet afternoon, returning to Dayton
only in time for the early returns
