Mayne Declines Overtures for Sup port on a Fusion Mayoral ty Ticket. It developed today that a committee of citizens a few days ago waited upon Charles M. Mayne, general secretary of the Gary Y. M. C. A., and asked him to run for mayor of Gary on a fusion ticket. Mr. Mayne passed the crown aside. Bull Moose Postpone Primal-tea. The bull moosers of Gary have postponed their primaries for one week. They were to be held last night. It is the sentiment of the 95 per cent of the progressives to algamate with the republicans in putting out a city ticket. Progressives who are recipients of favors from Tom Knotts, however, and those promised rewards from the Knotts trough are urging a separate ticket. Action will be taken to expel to the patriots who get their orders from Knotts. Flynn Boom Spreads. Favorable reports were received yesteray from all parts of the city by friends of William J. Flynn. the wellliked assistant superintendent of the Gary rail mill, who is being pushed forward for the democratic mayoralty nomination by his many friends. While Mr. Flynn has been as coy as a country maiden about flirting with the nomination, his friends say that they will induce him to .make a formal announcement in a short time. Orders from Mayor Knotts have been sent out to spread the story that the mayoralty talk concerning Flynn is hurting his chances of being city treasurer-' In other words, this is a plain threat for the Flynn men to be good or else Knotts will knife Flynn and bury him by the political wayside. Flynn's friends are laughing at the line of bunk being handed out In this connection. Hamilton la Enilorufd. The Third ward democrats met In Hamilton's hall last night and re-organized by electing Fred Wellbrook temporary chairman. One hundred and fifty of the faithful were present. They endorsed John Hamilton for city clerk. Search for John Long.

LUTHERAN F E TAKES PLACE The Northwestern Indiana Pastoral and Teachers' conference began its sessions yesterday afternoon at the St. Paul's school with Rev. Ph. Wllle o. Woodland in the chair and Rev. William Heine of North Judson acting as secretary. After a short preliminary service the first act was the election of officers. By unanimous vote the old officers were retained. An essay on "Justification" was their read by the Rev. Schuelke of Hobart, and in the general discussion the main points emphasized by various members of the conference. The salient facts that were brought out are the following: Justification is a Judiciary act of the great Judge by which He pronounces "Not guilty" man already condemned by the law. Significant it is that it is God, the supreme and eternal Judge who sits on the tribunal and pronounces the Justifying edict and it is man as he has become through the fall, sinful, unholy, unrighteous, condemned to temporal and spiritual death who through this Judiciary ruling becomes free from sin and Its consequences. The moving factors towards man's Justification are the grace of God! who does not doslie the death of a sinner and the vicarious atonement of all guilt as well as th representative iuinwmeni, oi m;. , by Christ, the son of God and man's redeemer. Though every on4 of th children of man'without exception have been completely absolved from guilt ! and are declared so by God.

In summary: Man, everyone, is a sinner, condemned by God's law to suffer the consequence ef sin which is temporal and eternal death. God's grace, however, sent His own son in the flesh to stand in man's place. Thus a Just God of necessity had to declare man Justified. He who accepts Christ as his substitute in the humbleness of faith has with him His righteousness and through Him a complete atonement that is absolutely independent of any actions, good or evil, on his own part. He who would have none of this substitute stands before God, the Just Judge, on his own record and that record is a broken law, and the consequences of a broken law Is the divine curse as it Is declared by omnipotent Justice:' "Cursed is everyone that contlnueth not In all the words of the law to do them.""
