 "I Is great pleasure mon of tle Eihlc class, 10 be here and 10 O1oli into your faces and 10 have tho opportunity ofaddrcssing you, I rc- srct now that I have to make the confession that it is but the second JInr th1t l have had the opportuni- ty o' looking into the faces of the mrn Of tyCryman's Bible class,
 "I want 10 say two things in a preliminary way, I have q very pro- found interest in the success of the class and in its continuance. You know very weDl-most of you at least that my business is 10 traIcl about through certain sections of the state visiting and observing the work Of the churches and aiding as best as I can in that work. ] don't think, men. that you can possibly estimate what a wholesome influence this class hIs eXerted upon the mems work of the variuos churches Of tho state. You have not, think, in any large numbers been able to visit as l have visited. churches and inquire as tn the work especially the work of mon; and in great many in- stances I have found groups of men gathered together, and when 1 have asked where they got their inspira ton for the work they were doing, they would say from Everymans Bihle class in New Britain.
 "Lct mo say another thing in this , connection: you have lost your powlcss leader and We all appreci- ate ,he significance Of that; but there once was q group Of men, q l kind Of Bible class, q class gathered for religious purposes, consisting Of ! la mon. and their leader was taken
 away from them.
 i "Whilc He was among them they ! didn't amount 10 a great deal, They ftook in His teachings and were very { loyal, but it was not until He was taken away from them that their ] power really began 10 he felt in tho | world. Don't regard the removal Of your leader as an indication that the time has come for this class 10 dis 1 intograte. t Is just the time 10 get

Mccormick seems to be ''in the cards" His father had a long record In the diplomatic service and 1t is felt that this increases his eligibility,
 Robert Mccormick, father of the senator, was the first United States ambassador 10 Austria Hungary. Later he was ambassador to Russia for three years and served in q similar capacity In Paris, as ann bassador to France, from 1905 to 1907.
 Gossip in Washington political circles has it that Senator McCor. micks chance at an ambassador ship. after his term expires March 4, depends largely on Coolldge's $ willingness 10 forget and forgive" "
 These stories have 1t that the Illinois senator was not fayorably inclined 10 the Coolidge candidacy for reelection and that when he was invited to help line up Illinois delegates for Coolidge, prior to the Cleveland convention, he declared that Coolidge could neither be nominated nor elected,
 The immediate result Of this is declared to have been the support, hy the Coolidge forces within Illi- nois, of former Governor Charles $. Dcnecn, who beat Mccormick for tho nomination in the prlma- ries and will take his seat with the beginning of the new Congress.
 After the Cleveland convention Mccormick saw the error of his way" and campaigned actively for Coolidge's election. And he accom- panied the White House party tc Chicago the other day. But only time will tell whether he has com plcted his political rehabilitation in Cooiige'S eyes.

AMBASSADORS JOB
 EXPENSIVE VANITY
J. s. Envoy to England and France Spend S1OO,O0O Yearly
BY HARRY F. HI NIT \TA Service Writer

Washington Dec @9. -- The cost of courting isn't so high in love as 1t Is in politics.
 Despite current rates on candy, flowers and thcater tickets, the tax on ambitious young suitors is mo- wise comparable to the outlay that must be made by the ambitious "old boys" anxious to make a hit In the courts of Europe.
 IL costs approximately S100,000 year for an American to qualify for inc utlo, "Former ambassador 10 the court Of St. James" for in- stance. The title, Former ambas- sador 10 France" costs almost as much.
 In d nutshell that is the reason tho tenure of our "diplomltic" representatives in the ma5or capi- tals abroad is comparatively short. George Harvey had enough Of 1t in London after 8 little over two years.
 Frank Kellogg, former senator and "trust bustcr,' from Minne- sota fs'roportcd as dcsirous of get ting out from under tho expense, although he has not yet served a year.
 Mvron T, Iierrick, Cleveland multi-mlIlionare to whom the cost Of being ambassador is no financial hardship is the only ambasss dor to any of the major courts Of Eu- rope in recent years who has been able or has cared 10 hold his post for any extended term. Financial indepcndoncc is, there fore, d determining one in the se- lection of ambassadors. And 1t is one of the qualifications that has brought the suggestion of Medill Mccormick. lamo-duck senator from Illinois as q possible successor l to Kellogg at the court of St. i James. ! Mccormick, slender, ratfcr lanbT sandy-haircI snou of the immensely wealthy NcCormick and Mc1iIl families Of Chicago, is fnan- cially able to pay the cost of ad- , mission 70 the sUprr-dirlomutic set.
 His wife, too, formerly Ruth Hanna. daughter of Mark Hanna of Cleveland, who built up for tune of millions as an iron ore and shipping magnate before becoming Ohios political boss and United States senator, would be qualified by experience and training to up. hold the social essentials of the post.
