TAFT WILL HAVE MAJORITY OF TENTH DELEGATES.

Rumored That Crumpaeker May Hare Opposition For Renomination at District Convention. ■ 1 # Special to The Republican. Hammond, Ind., March 28. —The convention to select a nominee for congress, two delegates and two adternate delegates to the national convention and one elector and one contingent elector, to be voted upon at the national convention met at 1 o’clock this afternoon in the Hohman opera house. The counties were all represented at a caucus held Wednesday evening, at which time the members of the various committees were selected. Each county was given two committeemen and W. E. Peck, of Remington, and Roy Blue, of were the Jasper county members, each being on the credentials committee. During the forenoon today the Roosevelt forces caucused at the Carleton hotel and the Taft forces at the Majestic. Later the county delegates held separate caucuses to decide upon their vote division. The Jasper county delegates met at the room of County Chairman Warner and decided to feplit their vote 4 and 4. The Taft delegates present were W. E. Peck, Rex Warner, §». R. Nichols, Clyde Randle, John O’Connor and Ed Oliver, and the Roosevelt delegates Fred Phillips, Roy Blue, W. B. Leonard, I. F. Meader, J. W. Tilton and W. B. McNeil. They had fractional votes. The even split of the votes was agreeable and all proved their republicanism by heartily supporting it, the motion being made by J. W. Tilton. Apparently the Taft people will be successful in selecting their delegates, the vote appearing to be about 70 for Taft to 50 for Roosevelt. There is a little talk about opposition to Congressman Crumpacker’s nomination, but it will probably not take form and would receive only little support if it did.

Meetings at the Churches Are Growing in Interest.

The meeting in progress at the Christian church is growing in power and public interest. Another splendid crowd heard the evangelist last night. His theme was "A Message of Joy,” In which he pictured We Christian life as a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The chorus choir is being recruited from the ranks of our sweetest singers; each night the number has been increased until all the chairs are being occupied every night. The sun* shine chorus, which is now being trained, will be ready toY business in a few days, and with this addition the chorus will number at least 100 voices. The special training these boys and girls are receiving, under Prof. Tuckerman, will be of lasting value to them. Rensselaer is now in the throes of a religious activity such as it has not enjoyed for a long time. Putman. Tuckerman and Co., are active agents in creating this’condition. If you have not heard them it will be to your advantage to do so.

The revival meeting at Trinity M. E. church' had its highest attendance yesterday in the afternoon and night. The serman at the afternoon service was a true ring from James the 3rd chapter. Speaking of religion. It consists not in forms, but deliverance from sin. There are clear evidences of salvation and this Epistle sets them forth. It is not a mere hearer but a doer of the word. We are not to be dispisers of the poor, nor dishonest, nor mere forms of religion, and again true religion consists not in immoderate use of the tongue. The tongue is either used for God or for evil. The evidences of true religion: Ist, Pure, then peaceable, full of mercy, easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. The evening sermon was from Rom. 2nd chapter, 4th verse: “Deppiseth thou the fiches of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodnes sos God leadeth thee to repentance.” The theme was repentance. The earth is full of God’s goodness. The purpose (of iGod's goodness 4s brought out hdre. It leadd to repentance. Christ said “Come unto Me.” How? by repentance. The doctrine of repentance is pne. for study. Repentance is not fear, it is not feelings of sorrow, it is not remorse of conscience, it is not conviction of sin, it is not praying. One may pray and not repent. What then ia true repentance? It is right about face. It is change of thoyght. It is to forsake the sin you once lived. It is- to quit sinning. It Is shown in making the wrongs right It leads to paying debts. Settling old scores. Christ came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. He calls you to confess and forsake your sins. This was a forceful sermon apd bor4 fruit Several came out for-Christ The .interest is growing. All who attend are getting help. Conviction is growing and the Lord is being praised by His followers. Hope Hurley’s class will help in singing tonight. All who want to go to the school entertainment can attend and leave when time comes to do so. Don’t miss any of the services. Keen in touch with each service.
