BETTER THAN RICHES
DARLINGTON BOOTH TALKS
ON VALUE OF FAITH.
Incompatible with the Wealth of the
Rockefellers and Astors, Says Head
of Volunteers.

General Darlington Booth, president OF
the Volunteers of America, was given an
inspiring welcome yesterday at both serv-
ices held in the army's headquarters, q
Cedar street. His sermon at night was
especially interesting, the speaker declaring
that he would rather have Jesus Christ in
his heart than all the wealth of the Astors,
Rockefellers and Rothschilds without Him.
General Booth sang in the special musical
service and took special pains to accord
praise to Captain Sadie Connell, in charge
of the Newark Volunteers, for her faithful
and successful labors.
General Booth at the night meeting said
in part:
After all, God looks at the character of
the heart which renders service TO linn.
Whether it be in state prison, where nun
dreds of prisoners march in lockstep, or
In the hospitals, where one ministers to
the sick and dying, or in the damp cellar
dungeon, God looks at h6h inc me- sincerity OF tne
Hundreds of men and women in
the Volunteers have not the gift of ora
tory, of rhetoric of construction, but filled
with the Holy Spirit they are in the large
cities, by their earnest Christian work,
bringing thousands every year to Christ.
Continuing, he said: People have many
ideas of heaven. Some think taat II IS one

concerning heaven, but my idea of heaven
is included in one sentence. And His
servants shall serve Him. It is service
God wants.
Christ enables you to walk on the sunny
side of the street. Go on with the good
work. Don't let any one say a deed is too
little to do. A boy in a large city OF

small hole in the walls OF the city. He

venting the flow of water. He was found

General Booth sang a selection after his
and there was special music rem

riot, and when the %janitor came In later
to survey the premises 1t was his settled
opinion that a cyclone had passed through
the store.
Miss Haffert took the Misses Kate Ter

strum into her confidence, pledging them
to say not 9 word about it until, well, until
it made no difference. These young women,

PROTEST AGAINST BIBLE
IN ALABAMA SCHOOLS.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. THE
Alabama Catholics have made protest
against the use of the Bible in public
schools, averring that it must be
stopped or the courts will be invoked.
The trouble grows out of the use in
some Of the schools of supplemental
courses in which the Bible is taught,
and ing some cases pupils have been
punished for not learning them.
THE State superintendent is notified
that the practise must cease at once or
suit will be brought. Superintendent
Gunnelis says that he will not order
the praetise stopped; that 1t a grown
up withan seems to be almost a part
of the public school system. He will
not intetfere so long as the courts do
not force him to do so.

ENDORSE SECRETARY TAFT.
The Missouri Republican State Committee
Goes on Record.

With but one member out of line I'M
til the final vote was taken, the Mis-
souri, republican state committee in
session at st Louis Tuesday, adopted
a resolution endorsing the candidacy
of Secretary of War William H. Taft
for the presidency February q was
set as the date of the state conven-
ton and st. Louis named as the place
at which delegates to the national re-
publican convention will be chosen.
The Taft resolution was as follows:
BE it resolved, by the republican
stale committee of Missouri, That this
committee recognizes that the senti
ment of the republicans Of Missouri is
practically unanimous in favor of VIII
liam II. Taft as a candidate Of the
republican party for president in 1908
And this committee declares its belief
that the republican electors of the
state have absolute, confidence in the
patriotism, high character and pre-
eminent abilities of Mr.. Taft, and be-
lieve that in his character, his learn
ing and experience as judge and as
an executive officer and in ali the
affairs Of life William II. Taft has
unequaled strength as candidate and
possesses in the highest degree the
qualities that must be possessed by a
ranuhlicop nraeident
Resolved, That this committee feels
confident that the nomination of Will
liam H. Taft would unite and strength
en- the republican party in Missouri
more than could the nomination of
any other person suggested as can
didate, and with that belief we feel
it to be our duty to so express oul-
selves as to center on him the sympa-
thy and support OF the republicans OF
Missouri"

ROOSEVELT STICKS TO TAFT.

That Fact is Accumulated by Some Cumu
lative Evidence.
That President Roosevelt is still 10y
al to Taft, is proven by much cumu-
lative evidence, says a Washington dis
patch. The latest is the appointment
of Charles r. Barker, as postmaster
at Admission, Ala. This appointment
was sent to the senate a few days ago.
1t develops that State Chairman
Brown mad suggested another man,
but the president turned down the
state chairman because he was not sat
isfied with the latter's position in re-
gard to presidential candidates. He
had been active against Taft.

ALLEGATIONS FALSE.
Secretary Cortelyou Emphatically Denies
That He is. Seeking Presidency.
Issues Statement.
Issues Statement.

Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou,
in signed statement given out at
Washington Tuesday night, pronounces
as unquahfedly false the current ru-
mors of undue political activity of his
friends in forwarding a movement in
his interest The secretary declares
that neither he nor his friends have
used their influence in behalf of any
candidate for the presidency and that
he has not been candidate for any,
thing but the confidence of the peo-
pie. He adds that if he should here
after decide to be a candidate for any
Office he will say so frankly. The
statement follows:
December II, 1907 do not know
that l am called upon to make state
ment at this time, but in view Of the
various rumors in circulation as to the
alleged political activity of friends OF
mine in my interest, | will say that l
have not been candidate for anything
but the confidence of the people in the
discharge of my duties as secretary Of
the treasury. | have not, in person,
sought nor have the friends whose
names have be6n mentioned in this
connection, sought to influence politi-
cal movements in my interest; have
not nor have they used any influence,
directly or indirectly, to secure political
support for or against any candidate
for the presidency, and accusations
that such has been done are unquali
fedly false.
In no Office, in no one of three de-
partments with which l have been con-
nected, have l authorized or permitted
officials or employees to attempt to
influence any such movements, nor
shall l do so.
"In common with many other citi-
zens, l have decided views as to poll
cies and as to candidates, but l shall
abstain from expressing them until
believe it is proper for me to do So.
Upon this statement l am entirely
content to leave che people to draw
their own conclusions regarding such
rumors as those to which l have re-
ferred If in the future l shall decide
to be a candidate for any office I shall
be prepared to say so frankly and
state the grounds upon which l ask
for support. In the meantime l shall
try, as l have tried in the past, to
conduct the treasury department for
the benefit of the people of the whole
country, and absolutely without re-
gard to whether any action may take
in the line Of my duty, may adversely
affect my personal or political well
fare. GEORGE B. CORTELYOU."
