Roosevelt Instanced a* Showing the Wisdom of Right Doing. Sunday was presented the great religious feature of the W. C. T. U. national convention at Fort Worth, Tex. Ihirty-four delegates occupied as many pulpits in different churches in that city, preaching, in most instances, morning and evening. Doctrinal discourse was tabooed. Some of the most prominent pulpit orators were Mrs. Mary Hunt of Boston, Mass.; Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis of Washington, D. C.; the Rev. Eugenie St. John, Kansas; Mrs. Clara Parrish Wright, Illinois; Mrs. Mabel L. Conklin, national lecturer and organizer. New York; Mrs. Addie N. Fields, world’s missionary to Mexico; Mrs. Marion Dunham, Burlington, Iowa; Mrs. Howard Hoge of Virginia; Miss Belie Kearney oi Mississippi; Miss Christine Tenling ol London, England. Chief interest centered in the annual sermon preached in the Christian tabernacle by Elizabeth W. Greenwood of New York. She said that all history teaches the wisdom of right doing and the folly ot wrong doing. She said: “Politicians strive to make Theodore Roosevelt Vice President that they remove him as governor of New York, in the hope that they would no longer be hindered in their wicked schemes, and behold a most signal and disastrous reversal of their plans. Roosevelt, a roan ol destiny, becomes President, while his successor, Governor Odell, develops ability to rise above aims and standards of machine politics. History emphasizes the exactness ®f God’s justice.”
