Cox Wins Democratic Nomination When Palmer and McAdoo's Holds Crumble SANFRANCISCO, (Auditorium) July 6 — Cox was nominated on the 44th ballot. Samuel B. Amidon, McAdoo's leader seeing the tide was sweeping toward Cox, moved that the rule be suspended and Cox be declared the unanimous choice of the convention. Avoid scenes of tumultuous joy, with a hundred delegates cheering and yelling, the motion carried overwhelmingly. The finish really came after the convention had been in session since to a. on. yesterday except for a brief recess. The dendlock was broken gives the 48th ballot, when Palmer released his delegates. The balloting progressed and Cox gained steadily. On the 43rd ballot, McAdoo forced began to crumble. The 44th the end came. THE TRUE TEACHER'S AND ITS APPLICATION By the way of introducing my subject I should like to say the lives of Sunday school teachers outweigh their lessons, making a personal as well as a professional preparation peculiarly needful. The former by grace of Jesus Christ is free to all, the latter comes through study and experience to every one who diligently seeks it. By a little symmetrical study the teacher may largely increase his power, but he needs most of all a deffnite christian experience. Human improvement is from within outward. The great relationships of life are covered by godliness no more by acknowledgement of God but a life corresponding to this great confession. The ideals of christian living according to Peter are not fixed quantities. provision is made for progress. One of the ideals for those who have tasted the Lord is gracious, is growth, and christian is unto salvation. This growth finds its nourishment in the true doctrines of the gospel. Christian living is characterized by progress, steadfastness and sacrifice. Most of us attempt to choose a standard we like best and are more likely to live. The teacher must know the truths he teaches. He must know them experimentally. He who is unconverten cannot convert another. He may know little or much else, but one thing he must know that Jesus Christ is his own personal Saviour. Spiritually the teacher may be mighty in scripture as an Appollos yet he needs to knowthe way of God more perfectly. Nothing will take the place of that spiritual illumination which he must have. This comes directly from God through fixed conditions. As in takingfood there are three distinct processes, mastication, digestion and assimilation, so in Bible study there must be first original searching of the scripture, which is mastication, second prayerful meditation which is digestion: third: the pursal acceptance by the teacher of the truth and its obligations which is assimulation. Whatever good in life we have acquired we must give it out to others. The greatest problem of church and Sunday school today as it faces the need of the young, especially the boys and girls of the adolescence period is the lack of trained leadership. The organized adult class movement has helped somewhat to solve the problem, but there is still great need of wide awake intelligent leadership for these years. The qualification required for teachers of intermediate, senior and young people's classes differ. from those required for teachers in other departments. The fundamental qualifications such as christian character, human sympathy, faithfulness, etc. are essential as in other departments but the successful teacher of adolescents must have in addition, intelligent insight into boy and girl life, initiative, consecration and adequate preparation. The future of boys and girls work lies in the hands of the adult leader. The adult leader of the young is not the man or woman who refuses to let them do anything, neither is he the person who does everything for them, we must cooperate with these boys and girls. Through good books, different kinds of literature, a new awakening is thus come to arouse the young to life's decision in their youth. Few decisions for Christ are never made after the person is grown. Habits by that time have become formed and the channels through which life's activities shall flow have largely been made. The boys and girls should have instructions on how are not willing to become christians at this age then some one is failing somewhere. The natural thing for 99 per cent of the boys and girls to do is to accept Christ as their personal Saviour, and obey the gospel. It is just as natural for the child's faith to Christ as for a flower to turn toward the sun. Few parents will object to their children of Junior age becoming christians if they are quite sure the child is taking the step thoughtfully. If they know the minister or some other consecrated person has carefully instructed the child in the steps of obedience to the gospel, they give their consent for the child's christian decision and rejoice in it. In some instances the child receives instruction at home. Our strength to morrow lies in the child to day. By saving them now before they go astray fewer fathers and mothers will be saying where is my wondering boy tonight. So each teacher must realize his duty to himself and others. Let the Bible be the teacher's text book. The Bible's divine commentator is the Holy Spirit. Study the Bible composition; geography, history, doctrine. Make the preparation general as well as specific, plan the lesson in order to train toward practical morality. Sabbath observance, purity. good citizenship, Christianity. Aim to hold the scholars' attention, fix the essential traits of the lesson in mind and apply it personally to the life. Simple questions may be asked work should be given that would involve the reading of the lesson, condense the subject matter, arrange it, simplyfy the same. The preparation should be lowered to the level of the lesson, giving each its due portion of time. A decision should be made as to what application you shall make of the lesson as to your own life, then to your pupils. Pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance. He shall bring all things to your remembrance. Subscribe for The Gazette. Now FRED R.YOUNG. FOR STATES ATTORNEY M. H. The Gazette is glad to announce the name of Fred R. Young as a candidate for the office of State's Attorney. The office of State's Attorney is one of the most important in our political system. He is the adviser to county board and county officers and has charge also of enforcing the criminal law. Mr. Young has had lots of experience in his office, and by common consent it is agreed that he was a most satisfactory officer. He is always thorough in his prosecutions, and what is important, is, that he was always just, and Racial or social conditions made no difference to him. He had no preferences, vantage was taken against a defendant because he was always particular to see that no ad in saying that no mistake can be made by the conditions. The Gazette feels warranted voters in voting for him for this place.

He was in the front line trenches for law and order and he would not move an inch backward. When the moke of the strike battle, cleared away, it was discovered that the city of Boston, had sixty-five colored policemen where they had previous- and none, and that Governor Coorridge highly endorsed the newarrangement. The candidate for Vice President was a classmate of former Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis of Boston, and Mr. Lewis says he is 100 per cent American, twenty-four hours in the day. Kansas City Sun Dewmaine Ill. Dear Editor, permit me to say in the columns of your paper we had what we may call a kind of financial day not a rally, though we realized $76.00.

Sunday from a visit with her mother, Mrs. Minnie Al- britten. Mrs. Ellen Buchanan, and her grand-daughter Miss Avery Woods leave, for Chicago, to spend the summer with her daughters and son. Mrs, H. G, Burke, is on the sick list. Don't forget we do job work. No finer members ever lived anywhere than some of the members of the Unity Baptist church, Brookport. Their work proves it. From the treatment of the pastor the past five years some of them loves and appreciates his work. But muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn, is the way the Bible puts it. That is, don't forget him for self or others--If you do, God will pay you off in your own coin. We are not ashamed of our record. Mrs. Lurania Blakemoore, is sick and will have to be operated on it is thought by her physician Rev. E. S. B. McCrary, left for East St. Louis, on business Wednesday. He will stop at Carbondale, and Murphysboro on his trip. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson of Danville, Ky., visited Mr. Wilbert Mcafee last week. Mesdames. Ethel Culp and sister Mrs. Mary Broyles, were in Paducah, last week. Mrs. Addie Frizzell, of Lovejoy, is in the city visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. Richard Winston. Geo. L. B. McCrary, returned from Chicago, East St. Louis and St. Louis, Monday. His wife and little daughter will spend a few weeks with her sister, Mrs. Charles Palmer, also with an aunt Mrs. John Jefferson, of East St. Louis on her return home. Mrs. Nancy Crippens, continues very sick and is under the care of a physician. We pity that soul whose religion will not bind him sufficiently strong enough to enable him to rise above his evil companions sufficiently high and long enough to allow his light, (life) to shine forth to illuminate the pathway of some poor sinner that will lead him into that path that shines more and more until the perfect day. We have several good preachers that are idle that would make good pastors if they were given a chance. Every church large on small should have a pastor, and carry out the great commission of Jesus. We should be doers of his word and not hearers only. Heed this message and herald it to the lost and benighted world. Every church door in Southern Illinois should be thrown open at least twice every Sunday that the gospel might be preached to every creature. Let none hear you idly saying there is nothing you can do while the souls of men are dying all around you without any hope for the future life and happiness. Any church needing a good pastor and a splendid preacher, a man of high ideals and broad vision, we can recommend Rev. Jno. Bruen, of Mr. Vernos, Ill., who successfully pastored Shiloh Baptist church of that city for 5 consecutive years. His address is 107 Merbert, St. The old Mr. Olive has a foundation and a record behind it, as it was founded on solid facts and not on hate and misrepresentation. His early founders stood for something in the days of yore. "Woe unto the Shepherd that divice my sheep." Mrs. Mary Robinson who has been in Chicago for several months has returned home to spend the summer. She says there is no place like home, be it ever so humble and we are of her opinion when comparing Metropolis to Chicago. Give me my little county home. Maceo Stahls is at home from Decatur, visiting his parents Mr. and Mrs, I. T. Stahls. Mesdames. Emma Thomas and Thos. Morris left for Chester, Wednesday to visit their sons. Mrs. Marner Givens is quite ill at the home of her parents Mr. and Mrs. Ed Campbell on North Pearl St. at this writing. Edward T. Hensly, of Chicago, was in the city Monday and Tuesday visiting his father and friends, returning Wednesday. Mrs. Mossie Kivil and two children of Paducah; are in the city visiting her mother Mrs. C. T. Roberts. Mrs. Laura Bradley of Joppa, was in the city Tuesday. In the matter of the Negro as a race, Senator Harding has never been known to attempt to do anything espescially outstanding that would attract the group, but it is known that he believes in justice and the square deal for all, regardless of race--his ideals have always been American rather than racial. As a thorough-going American, Senator Harding has no superior--this is a fact none will deny. Mrs. Mose Rodgers of St. Louis Mo., arrived Thursday to visit Mrs. Nancy Crippens.
