GOOD SERMON LAST EVENING Last night the services at the Rmith tabernacle exceeded all others in point of attendance, interest and great preaching. There were fully !,&00 people seated or standing or around the big building and many turned away when they saw the throng standing outside the door*. Everything possible is being done to seat the vast crowds and tp take cart of the visitors ?ffc> drive opany mitea each Sight to hear the world famed evangelist The director, Charles S. Allen, led the choir of more than 800 voic?- and the congregational singing was inspirational. the boys and girls singing with vim when called upon. The preacher was at his best lost evening and drives his message hojpe to his hearers. Mr. Smith rend the lesson from the I'.fth chapter of I.uke, the story of the sorrowing of a boat by the Master 'rem the Gallilenn fishermen, Simon and his partners, and the following miraculous draft of fishes, so groat Hint the "net brake" and the boat and another called to its assistance began io sink with the mass of the catch. From the words, "Launch out into the deep," as a text, the preacher launch ed into the heart of a message of earnest urging to the church people. The substance, with no attempt to repeat verbatim the sermon, is in resume as follows: "The inference in the words of the text is thut we may be in the shallows. There are three indications now of this fact: The talk of the religious people; the frequent style of our preaching, and the condition of oUi* prayer-lite. In the old time we used around the table and in the sitting room in the hojne talk of God and of righteousness and things of the spirit; how many now in their "nines commonly practice this sort of f>. k ? In our parlors and about the ..lble, in so-.-inl meetings and quiet w-onveivatkm we do not, we religious folk, speak of the things of the kingrl> 1.1. If religion is mentioned in the social group there is a hush if you mention -the Master and ask youi friends about their relation with Jesus, there is embarrassment and un ^Sf^2cher avhSlir to hi? room who had talked an hour interestingly and brilliantly about thing? in general and who halted and stammered when the question was personally put.. "Are you a Christian?" "1 hope so," replied the visitor. "Pray for me that I may be faithful." Mr Smith said he took from the mantel a picture of a woman and three children and showed it to the visitor. "A family group?" he asked. "Yes," re plied the preacher. "Are you married?" asked the visitor. "I think 1 am, I?I?hope so! Won't you praj tor me that I may be faithful," tht preacher had responded?to illustrat< the fact that one should have no doubt about his relationship to Jesus. "W< don't have to think so and hope so,' said the preacher with all earnest mss. "Thank God. we can know w< TV. children of God. We ought to b< eble to say so. We know insurance :-nii merchandise and law and medi cine?nnd we can talk about thosi things; we should be able to kno\ Christ and talk of the things of Hi' Vingdom one to another." "Another evidence that we are ii the shallows is much of our preach ing. It is sometimes more like i moral essay or a contribution to < magazine than the flaming messag o' an ambassador for Christ. Stil another evidence is the low-state o he prayer-life of professed Christ ians. We do r.ot pray in secret; we d not attend the prayer meetings. W en get. crowds to the motion pictur entertainment, to the social gathei in?-. to the lecture, but when we cal on our people, our church people, ou Christians to meet for prayer?fei respond. We shall never move th world until we launch out into th deep and are filled with the spirit o God. "The first thing that Jesus alway docs when He is going to take me and women into a new life, a deep? life, is to reveal to them the poss bilities which slumber in their ow nature. Of course, in evety man c woman there is enfolded, as a bu< the whole possibility of saintline^ | and power with God and man. It enfolded in your nature, and yoi great aim should be to discover wh< . God has put in you by regeneratioi I believe in regeneration. I have r sympathy with this modern teachin , that everybody begins with God i > them and thoy have just to develop l God which is born in them. I b . Heve in regeneration as the impart , lion of the very life of God in tl t roul, and when the life is imparted , contains within it the germ of etern bliss.

ROUTS REPUBLICANS; GOSSIP RUNNING HIGH t ____ Washington, Nov. 8.?The nationwide Democratic landslide eliminates Warren G. Harding as a possibility 1 for the Hepubiican nomination in *' 1924, according to statements by poli1 ticians of both parties in Washington j today. The West is in open revolt against j" the variety of Republicanism repre|! scnted by the administration and th) i[ Kast intolerant of Progressives is , simply Democratic. This is the conclusion of those who are endeavoring tonight to analyze a situation without precedent in the history of the ' country. The president's best friends, Fre linghuysen in New Jersey, Kellogg r in Minnesota, Townsend in Michigan, J New in Indiana and Mondell of Wyo ( ming have been eliminated and the ; leuder of the Republicans in the senI itc, Lodge, has managed to hold his invn. ilestiite his HUtinirniilioH aatrv. ) ? r ice. by a margin of 8,000 or 10,000 ,] votes. The defeat of Pomerene in Ohio, if indications are verified, has proved r|of little comfort to the president, fo Ohio elected a Democrat governor and tilled its house delegation with ' an abnormal Democratic quota. The single fly in the Democratic l ointment is the defeat of Hitchcock v in Nebraska. That reversal is at e tributcd to German voters unable to forget Hitchcock's fitfht for the e league fo nations in 1920. t It is understood that the president - has thoroughly digested the situation and that he will offer no objection if another is selected to run before the people two years hence. With the il Old Guard swept from the map, th d Progressives will take charge of the y Republican camp, it is indicated, and already Borhu's prediction of a third ' party is given close attention. Some observers cite a radical aBcenden'y t in Republican circles and express n fear lest Henry Ford, running as a i r independent, smash all Grand Old Party hopes two years hence. With the defeiU of Pomerene, o*i whom Democrats were understood to (be hopeful of centering in 1924, the against the opposition of Woodrow ' Wilson, will unquestionably attempt r to control the party, it is said, but the '* fact that followers of Wilson would never accept his leadership eliminy ates him as a presidential possibility, 1! according to indications. There is likewise gossip that Democrats can s not join enthusiasticaly in a crusade '* | having for its object the elevation of n former Richmonds, either Cox of Ohio or McAdoo of California. At 4. u i 4m..a 4U..4 pirwiiv, it in uiiuciiiauijr uuv tiiui Governor Smith of New York, who swept that state from top to bottom, lt ex-Governor Ralston of Indiana, and R Ferris of Michigan, who display dynamic power in normally Republican strongholds, are deeply impressing tln.se anxious to elect a Democratic ' * president of the United States. Word comes to Washington that ^ Progressive Republicans will organ? i;e the senate after March 4 and relegate to the discard Lodge of Massa. thusetts. This they can achieve with'it ' out trouble, it is said. With the retirement of Underwood of Alabama as minority lead er, and the elimination of Pomerene, , a s'niggle impends between Reed of Missouri and Pittman of Nevad' ia- Harrison of Mississippi will probabt ill not he available because of the diinclination to elect another Southern *'s Democrat, especially en the eve of ; presidential election.
