JEANS KLAN NOT NAMED IN THE PLATFORM Decision Readied By Democrats After Stormy Session. Speedtfe Made By Many Leaders on Subject. Madison Square Garden, New York City, June 29.—The Democratic plat form will not signify the Klan by name. It will not contain a Wilsonian plank on the League of Nations. These two questions were finally set tled after a 10-hour continuous ses sion in which some of the most dis orderly secenes in convention history were enacted. The vote was 547 to 540 against minority report. New York, June 28.—Williafm R. Pattongall, of Maine, presented the minority plank on the Ku Klus Klan which he said had been signed by fourteen members of the committee. It began by reaffirihing belief in party principle of religious freedom, this part being same language as majority plan, then added, “we con demn political secret societies as against exercise of free government” —and pledge the Democratic party to oppose any effort on the part of the Ku Klux Klan or any organization to interfere with religious or political freedom......... . • At first direct mention of the Klan the gallariea let out terrific * shouts and some of the delegates stood up and cheered, but most of those in delegates’ enclosure took no part in demonstration, which was quieted by Walsh by liberal use of gavel. South Carolina voted solidly against minor ity plank. * Madison Square Garden, New York City, June 28.—Rejecting Baker’s substitute plank on League of Nations for platform; the Democratic nation al convention tonight in the first round of its platform voted by a sub stantial majority to stand by its reso lutions committee, the vote on the first of contested planks came after a most frantic appeal to the conven tion by Baker’s begging them to con sider the memory of Wilson and put in an out and out Wilsonian plank for the League. Other party leaders ar gued that the majority plank put forth a more practical way to accom plish its object of getting the United States in the League and the conven tion sustained them. The vote was 351 1-2 for adopting Baker plank and overturning majority report, and 742 1-2 for sustaining a majprity resolutions committee report and ad* opting the plank it presented. Two votes were absent. South Carolina’s delegation voted for Baker’s League plank. “You will repudiate Wilson if you do this,” Mr. Baker had told the con vention before they voted. Then the convention got to the much-dreaded Ku Klux Klan question, opened by William R. Pattangall, of Maine, who argued to take in a plank naming the Ku Klux Klan specifically. Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, opened the dis cussion, speaking for the majority re port which does not name the Klan. The senator was followed by Pat tangall, who spoke for adoption of the substitute with Klan by name. Mrs. H. Carroll Miller, of Pittsburgh, also spoke for the minority plank, and then followed Gov. Cameron Morri son, of North Carolina, against nam ing the Klan. Jlginbridge Colby, the next speaker, made a stirring appeal for the adopt ion of resolutions referring to the Klan by name. He declared the or der was doomed. William Jennings Bryan followed with a speech against minority plank. During his speech the disorder be came so great that Walsh had to threaten to clear the gallaries. The Bryan plank which leaves out any specific mention of the Klan, re affirms the devotion of the Democra tic party to the fundamental princi ples contained in the Constitution providing for the free exercise of reli gion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the right of the people to free assembly. It declared further that a religious test cannot be required for any office of trust in the government and that there shall be no effort to arouse a religious dissension. DO?

PRIMARY TOPIC—The Baby Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC -What the Shepherds Saw and Heard. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Greatest Event in the World's History. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Great Hopes Centered In the Birth of Christ. • I. Jesus' Birth Foretold (Mlcah 5:2). This prediction was made some 700 years before. God moved the emperor to enforce the decree of taxation Just th time to cause Mary to be at Bethle hem. II. Jesus' Bjrth Announced to Mary and Joseph (Luke 1:26-38). The iplghty archangel Gabriel was sent by Oodlb"tteTIttlo town of Naz- areth ty Mary, a Jewish maiden, who was betrothed to a carpenter of that village by the name of Joeeph, solemn ly announcing that she should give birth to the Messiah and that thla son should not be Joseph’s son but should be the child of the Holy Ghost (Matt 1:18-21). Later the angel of th< Lord appeared to Joseph, also, making the same announcement to him, and added that the child should be called Jesus, which means that Jehovah will save His people from their sins (Matt 1: 21). III. Thu Prediction Fulfilled (v. 7). This took place at a moat propitious time. The Jews were under the power of the Romans. Not only did the birth of Christ occur when all systems of religion and morality were tottering upon their foundations but at a time most suitable for the introduction of the Gospel. The whole world being under one rule made it possible for Christ’s ministers to go from city to city and country to country unmolest ed. The Almighty rules in the whole universe and Is never behind In His administration. The surroundings of Christ at His birth were of a humble sort. The Eternal God condescended to be In corporated with humanity—to be born In a manger, becoming the poorest of the poor that none might be hindered in coming unto Him. IV. Christ’s Birth Announced (vv. 8- 14). 1. By Whom? The first Gospel ser mon was preached by an ungel of the Lord. Thus we see that the exalted ministers of God were Interested In men and had part In the announce ment of God’s plan of salvation. 2. To Whom? His birth was an nounced to the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks., by night. The fact that the glorious Gos pel message was first sounded forth to them shows that poverty is no bar rier to Its reception. God does not reveal Himself primarily to the princes and great men of the earth, but often times conceals from such and discloses to the poor. tJamea 3. The Nature of the Message. It waa good tidings of greAt Joy, It was good tidings because the darkness of heathendom, which had so long cov ered the earth, was beginning to van ish. The casting out of Satan, the prince of this world, was about to take place. Liberty was soon to be proclaimed to those who were In bond age. The- way of salvation was to be open to a|K No longer was the know!- edge of ood to be confined to the Jews, but offered to the whole world. Glorious news this. 'So glorious that a multitude of the heavenly host ac companied this announcement with their song of praise. Thus we see that the first Gospel sermon was In the open air. The minister was the angel of God, the choir were the angels, the audience made up of humble shepherds. V. The Shepherds Investigating (vv. 15, 18). They did not stop to argue or raise questions, (hough these things were no doubt passing strange to them They vent Immediately to Bethlehem, where they made an Investigation and found everything Just as represented. They had the privilege of first gazing upon the world’s Savior, the very Lord of glory. They returned with gratitude in their hearts, praising God for all those wonderful things which He had revealed unto them. VI. Tha Shephards Witnessing (vv. 17-20). They found things as announced. When they beheld the Lord of glory they could not remain silent. There fore. they went back praising Ood Those who really hear the Gospel message cannot be silent. If they really hear they must tell it out to others. Officers Npned For New Term Billy Sunday Club Elects Directing Heads. Meets Every Sundsy Afternoon.
