Mrs. Lizzie Gilmore need not get
alarmed at what she heard in the

was only gas that had generated in

as haunts. Possibly You have read
about the pillow in the swing and the
crippled goose. God is too good to
send haunts in this world to scare His
people. He tells as that if we will
follow Him He will be with us unto
the end. So you just keep sending
your children to Sabbath school and
believe in God and at the end of time
You will come out victoriously and
will sing that beautiful song Of the

Now, let us have the farmers meet

Among the Good Templars.

The auditorium and ante-room of Scottish
Rite Hall, 80 Pennsylvania avenue, were
thronged with Good Templars, most of them
members of Perseverance Lodge, No. 2,
when Miss Blanche Neff, chief templar,

The chief templar read communca ton
calling attention to a report that a member
of Perseverance Lodge appeared in a re-
cent anti-prohibitiOn meeting and pleaded
against the prohibition bill now before a com
mittee of Congress. The communicate pro-
voked a very lively discussion, in which 1t
was shown that the action referred to was
strange misfit, inasmuch as 1t ran counter
! compact and platform. The discussion was
finally closed by the appointment of COM
mittee, to whom the matter was referred
for investiga ton and report
A social session was enjoyed. A gospel
temperance hymn was sung led by Mrs A.

Immerial Administer Rugs,
MINISTRY MAY FALL.
President Fallieres Has Taken Charge
Of the Situation.

PARIS, February 1S.-President Fallieres
personally interviewed today in the minis
terial situation in the hope Of composing
the differences in the cabinet and avoiding
disruption Of the government tomorrow.
He had long conferences with Premier
Clemenceau, Education Minister BRAND and
other members Of the cabinet, but the ex-
act result is not known. There are some
reports, however, to the effect that an
agreement has been reached on a final
formula for the contracts for the lease Of
the churches satisfactory to both NM.
Clemenceau and BRAND, but confirmation
of the rumors Is lacking, and the prevailing
impression in political circles is that IL
M. Clemenceau does not fall from power
a reorganization of the ministry is prac-
tically certain. The followers of EXPIRE
mer Combes already are lined up against
any new concession. Their position is de-
fined by the Action as follows:
According to the action of parliament, in
giving or refusing its assent to the contract
negotiated by NJ. BRAND, the republic will
be bound to Rome for eighteen years or
free from 1t forever
The bitter hostility to the governments
proposed income tax law continues to be
an important feature of the ministerial crt-
sis. The moderate papers believe that some
of the socialist leaders are glad of the pos
sibility of another struggle with the Vati-
can because the socialists have become
frightened at their own fiscal and social
programs.

REV. JAS. n. TAYLoR'S THEME.
Sermon by Pastor Of Central Presby.
terrain Church

The Assurance of Salvation" was the
subject of the Rev. James H. Taylor S
morning sermon at the Central Presby-
terrain Church yesterday. The passages of
Scripture chosen for consideration are
found in the sixth chapter Of Hebrews,
eighteenth and nineteenth verses, and read
as follows: "A strong consolation" IAN
anchor for the SOUL
Mr. Taylor first disarmed any prejudice
against a doctrinal sermon by saying: "A
doctrine is really a teaching, a vital truth
clothed in flesh and blood and breathed
upon by the spirit of God. To every Chris
tan full assurance Of salvation is posi-
BILE, not before faith but as a result of it.
1.-The grounds for this hope are to be
found, first, in Gods promises Of salvation
He that believeth on the Son hath life a
present possession. not merely a future
hope; a life which begins here, If 50 be
that We suffer with Him, that we may also
be glorifed together and remains a gori-
Gus certainty throughout eternity. Be
loved now are we the sons of God, and 1t
doth not yet appear what we shall be- but
we know that when He shall appear we
shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as
He is
Secondly, the Christian must base his
assurance Of salvation on Christ's atone
ment-his at-one-ment with God and His
people. Without shedding of blood there
is no remission, but He died to obtain
eternal redemption for u.s. to be ours at
the moment we accept Him. lest Christs
death should have been in vain.
THE third proof of the assurance of sal
walton lies in the possession Of the Chris
tan graces, faith, virtue. knowledge, tenn
perance, patience, goodness, brotherly
kindness and charity, for If these things be
In you and abound they make you that We
shall be neither barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ
Though 1t is not given to any to have all
these, else the millennium would be already
at hand, the presence of one of these graces
may be the proof Of our salvation.
Lastly we receive the testimony of the
spirit of adoption, the supreme test of the
spiritual life. The love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost
which Is given unto u.s."
To the universal question, us assurance
obtainable?" Mr.. Taylor stated that lack
of assurance does not indicate unbelief, but
is due to falling into sin, temptation or q
temporary withdrawal of the light Of Gods
countenance, that we may attain unto
greater faith in Him.
The fruits of this assurance are joy in
the Holy Ghost unspeakable, peace that
passeth understanding, strength to obey
Him and stronger faith in His word.

GEORGE STONES BREAK
INTO PROFESSIONAL BALL

George Stone. champion batter of the
American League, relates the following
story of his career on the ball field:
Back In 1901 I was working on a farm
and playing ball on the side once or twice
week in small town called Salix A
manager at Blencoe Iowa, offered me a
chance to play on his team While there
1 got my chance to break into minor league
ranks.
THE Blencoe team was to play at Onawa
at Woodmen's picnic, against the Whit
ing team. Teams in that section were in
the habit of plugging up against each
other In other words, they would get
players from Omaha or other cities
I'VE got tip that Whiting was going
to have several players from Omaha, and
our manager wired Will Rourke, then man.
ager to the Omaha Western League team,
to send US a battery. He sent Buckley and
Alloway, and what we did to those Whiting
boys was a shame. We walloped them II
to 2.
Il played shortstop and put up a star
game at the bat and in the field, according
to Buckley. The result was 1 signed with
Omaha that fall. My first games were
against Denver. and 1 guess made good
from the start"

Pete had pitched his turn, so, thinking

fine In order to escape suspicion when ne

those Philadelphia afternoons in midsum-

In to pitch. and. TO make good his boast
about feeling good, he went.
The way that beer oozed out of him was
awful. In one inning his uniform was
soaking wet, and In two he was a living
shower BATH. splashing water at every
move. In the third inning he commenced
to argue and row with Snyder. None could
understand what point he was making
until, about the fifth inning, he began
pointing at the pitchers box. where the
mud was an inch deep. Jack wanted the
game called on account of wet grounds

Permit me to return answer in regard to
the article published in The Star of the

to support my family. Allow me to state
that at no time have I failed to do so, and
stated in The Star Of December IA, when
took Mrs. Hollidge the amount heretofore
stated in The Star of December 14) when
she pointedly refused said amount alleg-
ing she wanted a larger sum per month
after all previous agreements being salts

refused is a debt paid but once mistaken
by the decisions of the Juvenile Court
where. on this occasion but one side Of
the story was taken into consideration on
account of the false pathetic statements
made by the prosecuting witness, which
caused an unjust sentence as well as pub

above statements in court on Friday, but
