LAST SUNDAY NIGHT.
The services at the F'reeport Bap¬ tist church were well attended last Sunday evening, A very forceful .ser¬ mon was delivered by the pastor. Rev, Wiiliani Breckenridge, which we are glad to print herewith.
Text .lohn 1!*:,^, 'Then came Jesus foril., we,11 lllg Hie ernwn of thorns,'
Pilate seni Jewus to Herod in order to be rid of Him, but Herod sent IHni back to I'ilate. and sent Him clothed with mock emblenis of royalty. No doubt these had been removed, but the remembrance of them led the sol¬ diers to imitate in cruel fashion tlie je«t of Herod, It appears that Jesus was given entirely Into their hands, A ,ntrange thing this for Pilate to do. «eelng that he liad pronounced Him innocent. So. breaking off twigs from a plant abundant about, ,Ierusaletn, they wove them wifli their mailed tlsts into a rude wreath or crown, and thru.'^t it down over the Saviour's brow, the sharp thorns lacerating the flesh and causing great itaiii; for it was a circlet of torture as well as a niock crown.
To wear this crown ("hrist had laid atiide tliat of Divine majesty. 'We can pity the fallen, and weep for the great who have been degraded, or who have been made to feel the hardships of reversed fortune. In this connection we can think of Williaiu the Con- <lueror at his deatli. Absolutely with¬ out a friend to give Ills body decent burial, at last taken away in an or¬ dinary cart, and buried without fhe least sliow of respect to his memory. Others could be mentioned, hut we refrain. We can measure the depths of the descent lieeause ihey were hu¬ man; hut we have no power to gauge the height from which "He" came when "He htiiubled liimself and be¬ came obedient unto death," In Eph, 4:Jv we read thut "when he ascended up on high, lie led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men," Before Ale ascended He descended into the lower parts of the earth. But I say this was no worse than the scene pre- 'sented to us now. When God's own Son. the King of Glory, stood amidst His tormentors crowned with a cruel crown of thorns, mocked, insulted, Jaughed at and spat upon,
Por Jesus was a King, He rightly ("iaimed the highest dignify. This was proved by: Mi llis own words and works: (L'i the service of angels; (!!) the dread of demons: (1) the phenom¬ enon of nature; (.'o the appearance of lhe ileparleii; (i; i the acknowledg¬ ment of God, .Marvelous words fell from His lips, words tiiat no mere man had ever offered. Miracles were done by Hint that blessed individuals and families, and amazed all who wit¬ nessed to them. In the hour of extreme trial angels were glad fo do service to Him. Devils feared and trembled, and besought Him fo leave thetu alone: they were afraid of His power: they knew who He was. Nature <iuaked and trembled before Him. The winds and fhe waves obeyed His voice. As his crucifixion the rocks rent themselves asunder as If ashamed at fhe black deed humanity had done. And at His resurrection, so great was

One of the most interesting cases tried at this term of the Supreme Court at .Mineolu before Justice Cai¬ laghan. was that of Joseph St, John, a carpenter, formerly of Hempstead, but now of Harriman, N, Y., again.st Warren A, Browne, a nilddle-aged bachelor, for many years past a well- known citizen and real estate agent of Hempstead, St, John clainied $10,0(10 damages for the alleged alienation of .Mrs, St, John's affec¬ tions in October, llii:;, while Browne huarded with the St, John family.
A letter containing some words of endeaiment, a sentimental poem writ¬ ten in .Mrs, St. John's album, a paper signed liy the wiftv stating that Browne was in love with her, but w"hicli tht,' wife said she signed tinder protest: under circumstances against her wili, and friendly calle by Browne upon the wife in Kebruary, IIH,'i, af¬ ter she had been granted a separation from her husband by the court, fig¬ ured in the case, Browne and .Mr,';, St, Joiin denied any undue intimacy. After hearing a large nuniber of wit¬ nesses fhe jury brouglit In a verdict last Tuesday for the defendant, Browne, thereby exonerating Mrs, St, John, as well as himself from a more serious charge made by St, .Iohn in the suit,
Browne prove<l that St, John treat- Ped Browne as a niember of his family for nearly a year after the alleged alienation took place, and that St, .lolin had schemed to get money from Browne whom he believed lo be wealtliv.
On the Hrst trial of the suit in October, liil.'i, the jury gave St. John a verdict of $L'.Oiio, but Justice Scudder set it aside,
Kreeport men served on the jury in both trials, Harry W, Moore of .Mineola represented St, John, and Henry L. Maxson of Kreeport w«s counsel for Browne.

He sliows tlie position of the local I'togressives conclusively, 1 tliink the Progressives of this county will follow the Colonel at this time as they did in 1912 and have done for fhe past four years. We, of course, were all disappointed that Mr, Uoosevelt was not the nominee of hoth parties: but It seems as If Mr. Hughes was going to make it very easy for the Progressives to .support him by standing up for straight Americanisin as preached by the ex- Presidenl.

.'\ new order of things has been in¬ augurated at Chicago, .\nierica, un¬ der this new leader is to assume a higher positlon^among the nations. Diplomatic stability and sound indiis- frial prosperity are fo take the place of eiiuivocation in our foreign policy and a depleted national treasury when the nomination of Mr, Hughes is rati¬ lled and conflrmed. Surely, tlie choice of the Chicago convention has already met the approval of the American Iteople, But let us tsee how ihis new leader was chosen.

SPELLIM CONTEST

ited in a tie. hoth as to the 2(1 word and the lOii word contest, the conference comiuiite.' consisting o same three pupils heing perfect in, five delegates. These imnieiliatel.i each division, wliich results iu the ; met a similar cominittee of Progres
This atinoinn'cmeiu was received witli prolonged applause. It was aiiparent that till' two ptirties, wliose split had preveiiti'ii a continuance of the Re¬ publican party iu power, were siovv- ly amalgamating. Tlie Republican leaders decided to meet their paci¬ ficist brothers hulf way and Chair¬ man Harding aiuxiinted a Repuhlican
of
in this nation: that it has made the Kepuhlican Party nominate a man of till' type of Mr, Hughes' which, un¬ der tite old order of things, could not have been done; that it has made the Rppuhlicans give us a progreseive platform, and has been the direct cause of the elimination of William Barnes from Republican politics,
I think we must keep together as an organization at least tor another four years until we have compelled the principal parties to adopt those great Progressive principles as en- nciated in 1912 for social and indus¬ trial justice complete; and when this is accomplished by either of the other parties, then the necessity for the Progressive Party to exist will have ceased, and we can then take our re¬ spective places back In the old par¬ ties. But. if the other parties be¬ come reactionary, thne the Progress¬ ive party must ot necessity be the natural place for the great mass of radicals and progressives in both the Democratic aud Republican organi'za- tions,
I think Colonel Roosevelt looms up now In a very different light to what his enemies have been painting him. Here he is in a position where he can insure the election of Mr, Wilson at least, and many people think he has an opportuniiy to be elected on a third ticket; but rather than be put in the position ot wanting to rule or ruin, he has uuietly and decently de¬ clined tlie nomination on tlie Pro¬ gressive ticket so that Mr, Hughes' election apparently may be insured. Willi Senator Borah I can say tliat I love the Colonel dearly and there are many millions in the country today wild do likewise

SIDELIGHTS OF~TKE ~
_ CONVENTION
.Nassau connty was well represent¬ ed at Chicago. Congressman Hicks, former Congressman Cocks, Wilbur Doughty. Thomas A. McWhinney, Hiram R, Smith and Howard Oster¬ hout all attended the sessions of the convention and helped applaud the nomination of Justice Hughes,
,Ier('iiiiali Wood, our own "Jerry," who was elected as an alternate dele¬ gate could not go out to the conven¬ tion on account of his wife's serious illness. In his absence. Assemblyman McWliinney performed the functions of his ponifion. the cliief of which consisted In sifting with the other al¬ ternates on the floor of the conven¬ tion hall, Tom's position was an en¬ viable one, both geograiihically and politically.
There was considerable interest in ascertaining how New York State would line up for the different presi¬ dential aspirants. On the first ballot, if was almost euually divided between Root and Hughes, The exact figures being: Root, 4;i: Hughes, 42; Roose¬ velt. 2, On the second ballot. Thomas R, Proctor of l'tica changed his vote from Root to Hughes, giving the ex- Justice a plurality of the New Vork votes. On the third ballot. Senator Wadsworth withdrevv- Mr, Root's name, and Oovernor Whitman then cast the whole S7 votes of the Empire State for Hughes.
ives and logetluT ihey discussed pos sible caudiJaUv-. upon one of whom it was hoped both parlies would unite, 'l'his event featured the Thursday ses¬ sion, although Senators Depew and Borah and former Speaker Cannon addressed the convention. The plat¬ form wliicli was read by Senator Her-«y Cabot Lodge created no sen- .sation.
On tlie third day F'riday, June 9
the Republican conferees, through their chuiriium. Senator Smool, re¬ ported that, as a result of the initial meeting, llie Progressives had offered a»s their candidate Theodore Roose¬ velt but that no agreement could be reached at the conference. On motion, the Republican representatives were instnicied to continue their deliber¬ ations with the Progreasives.
It is useless lo pause long over the nominating speeches. They are the same in every national convention. Eleven favorite sous, three ot whom hailed trom New" Vork. made up the roll of presidential aspirants. Ora¬ tory reigned supreme, ranging from tlie Patrick Henry variety to the more polished addresses that charac¬ terize our twentieth century decla¬ mations. Ttie Roosevelt enthusiasm came mostly from the galleries. There, were to be found his devoted adnii»ers. .\t the conclusion of Sen¬ ator Fall's speech, placing the Colo¬ nel In nomination, the visitors cheer¬ ed continuously for 40 minutes. This established a record for convention applause. The delegates, however, did mu take kindly to the great ex¬ ponent of .'\tiiericanism and preiiared- ness. Back in their mental conscious- nosses they clierished a desire for the noniinaiion of Hughes, Il needed only some striking Incident fo crys- talize thut sentiment among the dele¬ gates and it came in the fast moving events of the closing liours of the convention, wliich leads us to the dramatic ilitmix in tlie nomination of the Supreme Court Juslice,
It is Kriday night and the conven¬ llon presents fhe appearance of Madi¬ son Square Ganlen near the close of a six-day bicycle race. .\11 feel the exliaustion after a day fliled with spirited cheering, lengthy orations and general excitement and confu¬ sion, A silence comes over the great a.ssemblage as Chairman Harding an¬ nounces in deep tones that the "dele¬ gations will prepare to ballot for t President.'

lug. Kor the greatest State of t!ie Cnion is divided against itself. .-Kf the close of the first ballot, the tabu¬ lations are ituickly completed and flie secretary, our own Lafayette B, Glea- 'son, of .New York, announces the re¬ sults. They place Mr, Hughes in llie lead with 'Jo'ilX/i votes, hut still far from the necessary majority of 494. It is significant that no other candi¬ date received half as many votes as Mr. Hughes. Again tlie balloting Is started. The favorite sons still hold tlieir blocks of votes, but when the second roll has been called, it is dis- crivered that Mr, Hughes has gained 7; votes, while the otlier candidaies are merely holding their own. The announcement that fhe Supreme Court Justice leads witli .'!2S»^ dele¬ gates in his favor, touches a respon¬ sive chord among all those present and tliere is a deafening cheer, Care- ful observers see in fhis popular demonstration the tHUiiinatiou of the leading candidate, Tlie response is timely. It is seen fo come particular¬ ly from the delcgafoi^ rather than the galleries, and it sliows clearly hy its volume and spoiitaiiiety that it is whole-hearted. A motion fo adjourn prevents the ctimplctinn of a nomina¬ tion: for a fhirii ballot, if taken, would liave decided it fhen and there. Weary and tired out, tliough reluct¬ antly, the delegates atHjourti fur the tinal session on the morrow, .\s far as tile candidate is concerned, how¬ ever, they niiglit as well have ad¬ journed sine die Kriday night. The Hughes alar is rising in the Kast.
Salurday morning tinds the conven¬ tion assembled for the last day. The sun has come out after a storm which continued from Tuesday morning. The talk is nil for Huglies. Who his running mate w"ill be seems to con¬ cern most everybody. The presidential die has been cast. Tiiere remuins, however, oiii- drtiiiiatic incident lo convince tlie doubling Thomases of fhis the Roosevelt telegram, .'Mter •Senator .Sttioot, on liehalf of the Re¬ publican conferees, lias reported to till" convention that, in answer to tlie Progressives' offering of Theodore Roosevelt iis a joint candidate, the Reptitiiicans in turn recomniendeil ;is llu'ir clioice .lustice ('liiiries E, Hughes, 111' steps forward to Hie fintit of the platfortu and stales that a new- development has just taken place. He tlien reads a long telegram from Col¬ onel Roosevelt, suggesting as a pos¬ sible candidate Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of .Massachu.setis. Kor a mo- nietit the ((mvention pauses to catch tho full signlflcance of the Colonel's words. But it is oniy for a moment. 11 is the calm before the storm. The Hood of Hughes seniiment, checked bv the telegram, proceeds to pour over the dam. In other words, the rush to Hughes starts whon Alabama, the first Slate to be called on the third ballot, casts'its entire HI votes for him. Other delegations rapidly follow suit, favorite sons' candidacies are withdrawn, and the nomination is made unanimous just as flu- chimes ure striking out the liotir of noon,
Charles Warren Kairhanks has no difficulty in winning fhe vice-presi¬ dential nomination, and the Repub- lica« convention of I 9 HI passed into history.

The backstairs confer¬ ences did not materialize. .Never be¬ fore has a convention sought out Its candidate wilh such zeal as did this one. Truly, tlie oflice has demanded tile man and the delegatt^ ai)preciat- ed it. They felt it keenly. The con¬ vention lacked that fitful excitement and hysterical enthusiasm that fre¬ iiuently characterizes sucli a body of men and w"liicli is apt to make them devoid of reason. It has been claim¬ ed fur tliis convention that il made a record for order and decorum. Is it not in such a view that the represen¬ tatives of the people are apt lo make the wisest selection and does not the liappy choice, just made, bear out the wisdom of sucli conduct? .j
