The American people have paid a "stagger ing penalty" for the Republican victory at the polls in 1918, Homer 8. Cummings declared here today in formally notify ing Franklin D. BooseveH of his nomi nation as the Democratic party's candi date for the rice-presidency. Undisputed in the "material and mor al leadership of the world" when the armistice was signed, he said, "who will deuy that our title to that leadership has been grievously impaired if not com pletely lost f" "What has happened to account for this lowering of morale and the forfei ture of the place of honor which had been won by American arms and Ameri can statesmanship ?" Mr. Cummings asked. "The answer is not far to seek, 'Praetieally coincident with the publica tion of the armistice came the news that the Republican party had been successful in the Congressional elections of 191S, From the moment American progress stopped, partisanship took possession of public affairs and Republican leadership more interested in political success than in national honor. The results were im mediate and disastrous. "Every enemy of society, of peace or of civilization took quick advantage of the fatal period of hesitancy. American commerce, which ought to have been seeking every port in the world, was un able to develop adequate trade channels or find settled basis for development. Allvthe processes of national life were impaired and there was a gradual accum ulation of domestic problems which have not been adjusted and which cannot be satisfactorily dealt with until our rela tionship to the vest of the world has been (Continued on page 4.) development of our resources and a pro gressive betterment of our citizenship. These matters will require the guiding hand of a President who ean see his country above his party, and who, hav; ing'a clear vision of things as they are, has also the independence, courage and skill to guide us along the road to things as they should be without swerving one footstep at the dictation of narrow par tisan who whisper "Party" or of self ish interests that murmur "Profits."

REV. H. C. GRIER XT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Pastor of Columbia, S. C. A. R. P. Church Fills Pulpit at Regular Union Services Sun day Night Delivers Force ful Sermon. Rev. B. C. Orier. pastor of the As sociate Reformed Presbyterian church of Columbia. H. C, filled the pulpit at the First Presbyterian church Sunday night at the regular union services of the Gas tonia churches. Rev. Mr. Grier's ser mon was one of the strongest and most forceful ever head in Gastonia. His subject was "Win. " HLtext was "Be sure your sin will find you out." and the sermon was based on the well known story of Achan, of the tribe of Judah and the stolen Babylonish treasure which he hid in his tent after the battle of Ai. Rev. Mr. Grier is one of the younger ministers of the A. R. P. Synod. He eame to the Columbia church after serv- j mg the Lou.sv,ne A. K. r. cnurcn ior . a number of years. He is a graduate of Erskine College and of the Erskine Theological, Seminary. In his college and seminary days he was well known in college circles throughout the 8outh on account of his prowess on the baseball field and tennis court. While he was a member of the Erskine teams in both the above sports, Erskise won the 8. I. A.. A. championship. Mr. Grier's sermon Sunday night was a remarkable exposition of sin, its power, its hatefulness, its shame and disgrace, and baneful effects. Rev. Mr. Grier is possessed of a wonderfully descriptive style of speaking, and his. forceful telling arguments against sin, backed up by vivid illustrations and personal exper iences, produced, a profound . effect upon the congregation. Rev. Mr. Grier said "No man has a right to sin, outside of God's command ment against it. on account of its smearing effect. It is lecherous, cancer ous, ulcerating, a sore on society. It pollutes and defiles all with whieh it comes into contact.. It affects the whole social fabric."
