The Third Idea of Faith which we
get from out lesson is fear.

house" The fear of God makes a
Zero. Noah was hero of the tru,
type. | admire a man who is a hero
in spite of his cowardice.

A Peculiar Risk.

Itis difficult matter to get even
a Christian to feel and see the pc
culiar risk which lies in an open
question. But the risk is three fold.
He is most sure to give himself the
benefit of the doubt, and there is
that in the fact that it is question
which of itself \dulls the edge of
spiritual sensibiiGes. Then he loos-
es the capacity of always being
pleasing to God.
The danger to the man who really
wants to keep his hold on God, and
his rights to the privileges Of his
church does not come in the form
of things that are flagrantly wrong,
but it comes in the form of the temp
tation to do the thing that at the
time does not seem to be wrong, but
when he more calmly considers his
course he is convinced that it is on
the carnal side Of the line; in that
form of conduct that admits of
question. The things that may BE-
lawful, bat are not expedient. The
things that may be lawful put do not

Some Coed Reasons.

There are several good reasons
why | have selected these passages
of the scriptures for our study this
morning; but one will suffice, and
that Is, we are entering upon that
season of the year when we are most
active In intellectual pursuits and
along social lines. We are planning
our winters work and winters rec
reaions.
This is the season of the year
when the daylight is shortened and
the darkness is heightened out; the
time when the distance between the
hour for ceasing to labor and the
hour for retiring is greatest. These
long winter evenings are to be spent:
and how to spend them is matter
that concerns us.
The people who have never named
the name of Christ and are strang-
ers to the love of God are planning
to spend them in way that will fur
.nish enjoyment to those whose source
of happiness is no higher than to
extract it from the gaudy, giddy
whirl and vanity fair of earthly
amusements; and the tournament of
entertainments that they are plan
ming will lower the moarl tone, and
dull the moral sensibility of all who
engage In them, and the community
will be the worse from every point
of view because Of these wends of
entertainments.

TAFT'S CABINET.
Four Changes Scheduled But Most of
 Roosevelt's Aides Will Stay.

Cincinnati, Nov. 9-From an unof1i- information that President Taft's cab inet will be composed of the follow ing:
 Secretary of the reasury-George Von l.. Meyer, Massachusetts.
 Secretary of State-Elihu Root, New York
 Secretary of War-Luke E. Wright, Tennessee.
 Secretary of the Interior-James Garfield, Ohio.
 Secretary of the Navy-Wm. Loeb Jr, New York.
 Postmaster General-Frank Hitch cock, assachusetts.
 Attorney General-Frank B. Kellogg, Minnesota
 Secretary of Agriculture-James Wilson, Iowa.
 Secretary of Commerce and Labor Oscar l.. Strauss, New York.
 The change in personnel of the cab inet would retire three officers and change a fourth. Secretary of the Treasuary Gortelyou, would make way for George Won l.. Meyer, present Post master General, who would be sue ceeded by his present first assistant, Frank Hitchcock, Taft's campaign manager Attorney Gen. Chas. J. Bon- aparte, would be succeeded by his as- sistant, Frank B. Kellogg, the young Minnesotaian, who has become famous in the Standard Oil prosecution, and Secretary of the Navy Victor H. Met calf, would make way for Wm. Loeb, Jr.
 Senator w. Murray Crane, of Mas sachusetts, the millionaire paper man. ufacturer, is also prominently. men toned in connection with the Naval portfolio
 It is understood that Myron T. Her rick, formerly governor of Ohio, is be- ing quietly boomed for place in Taft's cabinet, as custodian of the na- tion's finances.
 There is little probability that Root or Wright will be succeeded. Root is Taft's warm personal friend and the same reasons that induced MT. Roose- welt to make Wright Taft's successor as Secretary of War, should operate to Mr. Taft, particularly in view of the campaign work that Wright, who has always been called Democrat, did for Taft in the campaign just past.

Misuse of Apostrophe and Quotation
 Marks, Not to Mention "Hindly."

There are two things that are mis- used a great deal" said the irritable man, and the mishandling of them annoys me lot. For one thing, some persons haven't the vaguest idea of the proper use of the apostrophe. I've seen a word written this way, 'auto's,' which is meant only 70 indi- cate the plural of auto. Now, there isn't the very slightest excuse for that and it makes me sore every time I see it. Then again, other folks don't know what to do with quotation marks. I have seen sign on an ele- vated station reading, '"Keys" with the agent Now, what earthly use are those quotation marks about the words keys and agent? None, none at all. There isn't any rhyme or reason in it.
 Well" replied his listener, there's another as bad as that There's the use of the word kindly You hear a lot of folks using that atrocious vaude- vile phrase: Thank you, kindly That makes me sick. I saw the other day in Brooklyn sign, Gents will kindly not smoke Only gents would use that sort of language"

WILL CONTEST ELECTION.
Adlai E. Stevenson to Demand Re
 count in Illinois.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-The election of Gov. Chas. Deneen to serve another term as governor of Illinois will be contested by his defeated Democratic rival, according to signed statement issued tonight by Charles Boeschen- stein, chairman of the Democratic central committee.
 The statement follows:
 q am convinced that with cor rect count and an honest canvass, Adlai E. Stevenson has a plurality of the vote cast in the election last Tues day for governor of Illinois. We will demand that the ballots be recounted. The demand for a recount will be made upon the legislature. as provid- ed for in the statutes"
 Gov Deneen's plurality is estimat- ed at from 23,000 to 26,000.
 Ben H. Atwell, secretary to Chair man Boeschenstein, explained that er- TOTS in the count had already been found in several precincts, and it was calculated that if only three ballots in each of the 4,040 voting precincts in Illinois were taken from Deneen and given on recount to Stevenson, the latter would be found to have won the election.

1T LATEST RETURNS FROM MISSOURI.

St. Louis, Nov. 9.-Returns compiled by the Republic give Taft the cleo toral vote of Missouri by plurality of 3,172 over Bryan. These returns are complete from all but three of the IA counties of the state, and include estimates based on partial returns from the missing counties. The Globe Democrat places the Taft plurality in excess of 3.700.
 According to the Republic, the pre- sidential vote boiled in Missouri Tues day was 19.724 higher than that polled in 1900, which was the high mark. Taft's vote is but 6,S2S behind the Bryan vote of that year and complete returns from the three missing coun- ties will probably send it ahead of the Bryan vote years ago.
 The plurality of Hadley, republican, for governor is now placed at 17,651.
 The legislature is democratic on joint ballot by four votes. The ten constitutional amendments, including that providing for the initiative and referendum, have apparently been de- feated
