 It will be observed that Tax Collector George W. Halls boiled the highest vote of any Democratic candidate on the ticket. and that Capt. R. P. Hob |. son ran ahead of his other colleagues on the ticket for Democratic electors. No contests were filed with the Su- pervising Board, although 1t had been announced that W. C. Fuller, defeated candidate for Justice of the Peace in Beat 3. would probably contest the re- turns from that beat.
 A certificate of the result of the cleo tfon in Montgomery County will be for- warded to the Secretary of State this morning.

 IoAsH REPAIRS THE TEMPLE.
 The temple in Jerusalem was not merely a place of worship. It was Tn itself a monument to religion. It not merely contained the venerated and historic souvenirs of the faith and af- forded a place of devotion to those who wished to avail themselves of It, but it was also the most magnificent costly. and appropriate memorial to spiritual religion ever reared upon the earth. The material condition of the temple was therefore significant. It was a barometer indicating the rise or fall of religious feeling among the people If the sacred structure was kept in repair. beautifed and adorn- ed 1t betokened the fact that religion was ascending and vice versa.
 At this time the sacred fane was In a pitiful plight. A great building needs constant and close attention for It's preservation. A corps of workmen with competent overseers needs to be employed. and large amount of mon ey annually expended. Mere neglect Is enough to insure ruin. But in this instance there was not mere inacttv- lty.l The structure was rified and des- ecrafed. It became a quarry out of which the rival temple of Baai was built and furnished.
 It is no wonder that King JoSsh turned to the restoration of the tenn pie. as the first act of his reign. It had sheltered him in his defenseless infancy when the monster Athaliah sought his life. In t4le secret of this tabernacle he had been successfully hidden for six years. Under its splen- did porch and between it's great pill lars he had been anointed. crowned, and proclaimed king Its high priest had been his foster-father The priests and Levites had been his bodyguard on the day of his coronation. It's armo- " had furnished the weapons for his defense,
 The importance of the proposed res toration of the temple Is significant ly indicated. It is the one event in the long reign of forty years on which the shronicler puts special accent. Joash alone stood out to shore up the falling temple. That is the one important achievement of his reign. He consid- cred the repair pressing business. The honor of Jehovah required the complete obliteration of Athaliah's sacrilege and the renewal of the old glories of the temple.
 The first plan for raising the neces- Sary funds proved inadequate If not futile. The priests were to canvass for subscriptions. There is nothing to indicate that they misappropriated the money. The plain fact is they did not get any. So that there was none. to pervert. With the inveterate selfish- ness of hpma nature, they looked out for their own support first. and there was no balance to the credit of the building fund. The next device suc- ceeded. The Jew was not solicited at home and remote from the temple. but on the ground, where he could himself witness the ravages of the vandal Athaliah. After he had suflciently in spected the ruin of the sanctuary wrought by the idolatrous princess, he would come across the receptacle. eonspicuousIy and conveniently placed.

Ing for the restoration of the tempIe Inere was no danger of perversion of nts siif. What he placed there was eNclusiveiy for this purpose. Then, too, the sight of others giving provok- ca him to generosity.
 me measure was instantly and largely popular. A yellow stream poured into the improvised treasury. The strong chest had often to be un- locked by the high priest and its con- tents audited by the. kings scribe. Soon there was enough and to spare TOT the repair. renovation. and refur- nlshing Of the temple. As the building itsen was sign of the covenant, its restoration by the free gifts of the people was token of the revival of the covenant between Jehovah and his people.
 It Is a pity that the king who wrought this notable deed for God and his country in later years aposta : tized. A black veil must be drawn over the portrait of Joash like that over the recreant doge of Venice. He became an fdoiater and encouraged idolatry paradoxical as it may seevn. He went one step further in sacriiere and laid violent hands upon the High Priest Zechartah. If religion had no power to stay him. 1t would seem tha, human feeling would have been sun i. clent His victim was the playmate of ms ooyhood. He was the son of Jehoi- ada' who had sheltered Joash from the murderous spirit of Athaliah and pIac. ed him on the throne.
 Retribution was swift, as 1t was merited. Joash was the first king ot Judah to come to a violent death hy the hands of his own subjects and tc be denied a kingly sepulcher.

Make rule, and pray to God to help
You to keep it, never, if possible. to lie
down at night without being able to say,
Il have made one humble being at least
little wiser or little better this day"
You will find it easier than you think,
and pleasanter. Easier, because if yeu
wish to do Gods work God will surely
find you work to do; and pleasanter, be-
cause in return for the little trouble
1T may cost you or the little choking
of foolish, vulgar pride it may cost you,
you viii have peace of mind, a quiet of
temper, a cheerfulness and hopefulness
about yourself and all around you, such
az you never felt before; and, over and
above that, if you look for a reward in
the life to come, recollect this: What
we have to hope for in the life to CON-
is to enter into the joy of our Lord And
how did he fulfill that joy? By humbling
himself and taking the form of a slave
and coming, not to be ministered to, but
to minister and give his whole life, even
unto the death upon the cross, a ransom
for many. Be sure that unless you take

crown; be sure that unless you follow
in his footsteps you will never reach

lowed to fall and rise and fall and rise

takes.
RUSSIA'S NATIONAL RELIGION.
That the Russian people are devoted
to their Church is evident everywhere.
Every village and town has it's churches,
and the cities have cathedrals, chapels
and shrines seemingly innumerable.
st. Isaac's Cathedral in St Petersburg
is an immense basilica and is ornament
s4l in nave and traEsept with precious and
semi-precious stones.
The superb portico is supported by a
maze of granite monoliths seven feet in
diameter. There is now in process of
construction at Moscow still more elab-
crate cathedral.
Russia Is not a good missionary field
for two reasons; first, because the peo-
pie seem welded to their Church, and,
second because no one is permitted to
sever his connection with the Church.
The child of an orthodox Russian be-
comes a member of the Church of his
parents, and if he desires to enter anoth
er church he must leave the country.
If one of the orthodox Church marrie'
member of another church the children
must of necessity be reared in the Rus
sian faith. 1t will be seen, therefore
that the Church is very closely connected
with the Government itself and quite as
arbitrary
