A SONG.

(Melody-"I Love to Tell the Story.")
He came from heaven to save us,
And He the victory won;
Was born the child of Mary,
And suffered here below;
He sinned not, but our burden
OF sin and shame He bore.
He wept with those in sorrow,
He healed the deaf and blind;
He cast out evil spirits;
To sinners He was kind;
But on the. cross they nailed Him,
He there was crucified,
He shed His blood and suffered
For us He bled and died.
But death, 1t could not hold Him,
He rose from out the grave;
His people saw and knew Him,
The Christ who came to save.
To heaven He assembled,
And there He lives above;
With God our Father liveth
And prays for us with love.

HYMN.

Under Thy wings dear shadow,
Shelter me, day by day,
I need, from sin, a refuge;
Bend, Lord, and hear me pray.
Thy will, not mine unholy,
Govern me, hour by hour:
Thy love, not mine-self centered,
Hold me with might and power.
Thy arms, so strong and tender,
l pray Thee, warm enfold-
Me, weakest of all Thy children,
Pity, and closer hold.

PREACHER TO STUMP
WEST FOR Mr.. TAFT
The Rev. DR.. John Wesley Hill Be,
lieves Politics and Religion
Should Be Mixed.

One OF Judge Taft's most enthusiastic
speilbinders during the campaign is TO
be the Rev. DR.. John Wesley Hill, pas
tor Of the Metropolitan Temple New
York. who left washington last night
for New York after a conference with
the nominee at Hot Springs. During
this conference with Judge Taft Dr.
Hill acceded to his request to canvass
thoroughly the Western States, where
the battle lies, and will probably make
fifty or more speeches for the Repub-
ncan candidate.
DR.. Hill believes that religion and re-
HgiOus people should not hold aloof
from politics. He made more than 100
speeches for President Mckinley in
the campaign of 1896 and again took
the stump in 1900 He has long been a
personal friend of Judge Taft, and
when the latter requested that he du-
plicate his performances on the stump,
Dr. Hill readily agreed. He will begin
his speech-making tour about Septem-

AID To HITCHCOCK
MAY Be KENTUCKIAN
Republicans Begin to Fix
Slate, Anticipating Taft's
Election.

There Is talk in postal circles that
Frank II. Fisher. postmaster Of Padu-
cab, Ky, who has been in Washington
for several days comforting with some
of his friends, will have the backing
Of Frank H Hitchcock for the position
OF First Assistant Postmaster General
in case Taft is elected with the aid Of
Kentucky's electoral vote.
Mr. Fisher was in Hot Springs a few
days ago in conference with Taft and
Hitchcock, which served 10 strengthen
the rumor. II is now thought settled
that Hitchcock will be Postmaster Gen
eral II Taft wins over Bryan.
Mr.. Fisher has been taking an active
part IN distributing patronage IN Ken
lucky and managing affairs down there
for the Administration.
It IS understood that he has just ao-
justed differences between the depart
ment and two third-class postmasters
in Kentucky which threatened 10 de-
prive them Of their places.
The Fisher rumOr revives the talk
that was current when Dr.. GranddeId
was promoted from chief clerk in the
bureau Of the first assistant TO the
position Of first assistant, succeeding
Frank II. Hitchcock, who retired 10

It was strongly intimated in postal
circles that the appointment Of Or.
Grandfeld was only a temporary ex-
pedient, as he was not considered to
be just right politically TO administer
the job Of doing out the great number
of fOuTtI-class pOstOfficCs. one Of the
best patronage levers that the Admin
istration has with which 70 control
local politics.
A close friend of DR.. Grandfeld
stated today. however. that he would
not be surprised 10 see him continued
as first assistant in case Mr. Hitch
cock was made Postmaster General.

of the second blaze showed that OIL

BoER FLAG FOR MUSEUM.

JOHANNESBURG, December 49,
General Botha has presented to the
Transvaal Museum the Boer flag which
waved above the government buildings
at Pretoria until the capital was oc-
eupied by Lord Roberts. Tt appears
that when the British army entered
the town the flag was lowered by an
official of the republic, c. P. Hattingh,
who intrusted it to Mrs. I. Haarshoff,
knowing that this lady would do
everything possible to prevent it from
falling into the hands of the English.
For more than year Mrs. Haar-
shoff carried the "Vierkleur' on her
person, sewed to the inside of her
skirt. After that she concealed the
flag in a mattress, where it remained
until the conclusion of war, when she
considered that General Botha had the
best claim to the standard, and gave
it to him.
