D. A. R. NOTES

Nominations and the prospect
several dark horses will be en-
tered in the president-general race
are the chief subjects of interest
today for the vast majority of dele
gates attending the d. A. r. Con.
gress. On all sides one hears the
talk of the dark horse as it be-
comes evident that neither of the
| three pre-congress candidates can
hope to win on the first ballot.
Rumor carried over from last
nights gatherings, when the posi-
biIity of Mrs. William Cumming
Story retiring in favor of Mrs.
Anthony Wayne Cook was discus
sed, leaves the impression that
while strong pressure had been
brought to bear to induce Mrs.
Story to adopt such a course, it
is improbable she will do so. with
a strong supporting ticket. 1t is
declared by many delegates, she
will hold the balance of power and
be in position to dictate the cleo
ton of President,General Minors
successor if she cannot win the post
herself.
While yesterdays afternoon ses.
sion was we'll attended, it was evil
dent that many of the delegates
had taken advantage of the late
afternoon to see Washington. This
practice, it is said, will be con-
tfnued today with the prospect
that the big attendance will not
take place until nominations are
III order tonight.
How they manage to do it no
one can explain, but when an ex-
animation is made of .the lost and
found receptacle in the House Com
rnittee room that repository of
treasure troVe proves an irrefu.

WORK TO BE DONE

Sin on every side is growing bold
er, and the very elusion contained in
the statement, The worlds grow
ing better, is OF satanic origin, and
is for the purpose OF putting to sleep
the forces of righteousness.
Human nature is incapable OF moral
Improvement by any human process
known to mankind. The only thing
within the power OF Cod that car
change human nature is regeneration
Reformation cannot effect its charac-
ter Regeneration must precede reform
alton. Those who have been regcn
cratd ar of course growing better; they
are improving; they are progressing;
they are growing more Godlike.
The good are getting better but
the bad are getting worse. The un-
generated, the unwashed, the unsaved
are more skilled, subtle, and power
full in the practices Of sin than ever
before in the history OF the world
The corrupt are becoming more
scientific in their corruption, and
more determined to practice corrup-
ticn.
The fact of salvation. There
would be no salvation ii we were not
lost You can't save something that
hasn't been lost.
The stubborn fact of depraved, lost
human nature. This great entity known
as sinful man cannot be improved by
external processes he cannot be re-
deemed by education or evolution. He
Can be saved only by the regenerating
act of the Holy Ghost.
1t is the duty of the church and
OF every minister OF the gospel to
preach the awfulness OF sin, the abso-
lutte certainty and power OF salvation
the judgement that awaits the unre-
pentant, and to denounce with all the
power possible the hellish delusion
that the world is growing better.
