His death will cnen the way to a
large field of candidates fer the Michi-
san Senatorship. and as it is an unwri,-
ton law in Michigan one Senator should
be from the eastern ard one from the
western part of the State, it is prob
able that citizen of Detroit will be
appointed by the governor to serve until
the Legislature meets.

Governor Bliss may himself be a
candidate, as he is eligible. being a
resident cf Saginaw, one of the eastern
counties. Senator BUTTONS of Michigan

Appraisers Deny Treasury
Jurisdiction in Gus
toms Protests.
A PREACHING DECISION
Board of Classification, General Ap-
praisers, Claims Exclusive Control in
= Such Cases-May Be Taken to Su-
preme Court.

According to a decision rendered By
the Board of Classification OF the United
States General Appraisers. it is hel3
thai the jurisdiction and authority Of
the board, as laid down under the law
is absolute, and is not shared by tn
Treasury Department
1t is alleged that there has been a
growing practice en- the part of the
Treasury Department to withdraw pro-
tests that had come before the board.
The Withdrawals were presumably for
the purpose of correcting errors. but
it is asserted that the cases were sell
dom sent back to the board. Instead
the department would simply announce
a ruling which would cover the case
in question.
The Board OF Classification holds. in
effect. that such action really amounts
to an attempt on the part of the Treas
ury Department to exercise judicial
concurrently with the board.
and that it is an usurpation of judicial
powers wholly without warrant in law.

THE BEST YET.
Meetings Yesterday Afternoon and Ev'
enine by Rev. Merton Smith,

ening by Rev. Merton Smith.
Rev. Merton Smiths subject yester'
day afternoon was, The Faith of God
or How Abram the Idolator Became
Abraham the Friend of God. the Father
of the Faithful" The preacher drew
picture after picture from the life OF
the patriarch, as found in Genesis
showing how faith in God may take
the place of a life of unbelief and sin.
These pictures represent t~ypically
the struggles. defeats and victories OF
every nan that sets out to serve God.
The first picture was Abram obedient
to the call, representing concession.
The second was Abram steadfast
amidst the enemy. representing the
conflict of every young believer. The
third picture was, "Abram separated
from the world spirit" And here the
two lives of Job and Abram were con.
trasted. The fourth picture represent
ed "Abram victorious over the devil
an interesting study in Bible types
from 14th chapter of Genesis.
This topic will be continued this aft.

spoke from Romans 1879: III
thOu oildlt 1OlllCo ~ Nv hiOhth
Jesus as Lord. and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised Him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved"
The evangelist is fond of taking
words as division points in his ser
mons. For instance, on Monday night
it was sin, death, Christ. life. On Tues
day 1t was, death, Christ, life, and last
night 1t was salvation. faith. confes'
sion. How much of salvation do we
receive now? The whole of it by the
grip of faith and the grace of hope. All
that there is in salvation now God
gives us in Christ. What we do not
have in our experience now we know
that God will yet give us in the days
to come.
At present we have in salvation:
First. forgiveness of sins uncondition'
ed and eternal the moment we receive
Christ as Lord. Second, eternal life is
ours the moment we believe In Christ.
Third. d%eliverance from the bondage
of fear. Fourth, the dominion of sin is
broken. The reign of sin in our lives
gone. Fifth, conquest over evil is part
of present salvation. And lastly, JOY:
a JOY the world cannot give or take
away.
The preacher illustrated each point
wildly and interestingly, closing with
a strong plea for the reasonableness
of faith in Jesus Christ and the neces.
sity of those who believe in Him boldly
and gladly confessing His name and
cause.
At the conclusion of the sermon
about twelve people stood up to accept
Christ to be their savior. The service
last night was undoubtedly the best
one held thus far. The tent was com
fortably filed and the power of God
was present in a marked degree. Let
everyone take advantage of these sea
sons of refreshing from the presence
of the Lord.

1t Caused Another Case Of Sour Grapes
in the Journal-Democrat Office.
The letter s. after the word train

the schoolboy on the Journal-Democrat

of course The Citizen is more than
pleased" Letters and circulars from

hours earlier than usual, and The Citi-
zen will go west, also south and north,
to it's subscribers with the latest and
freshest Geographic. territorial and
local news twenty-four hours before its
esteemed contemporary, the Journal
