publican ieanings. but Indicates that
Ohio and Nebraska may so Demo
cratic.
The loss of his own state and OF
Nebraska would not, according to
Herald futures, materially affect the
chances of Taft's election, unless he
were also to lose New York and In
diana.
A summing up OF the situation as
II is presented by these various esti-
mates shows that Taft can lose the
following Republican states and sim
be elected:
New York, Indiana, Colorado, Mon
tana, Delaware. South Dakota and
Nebraska.
Bryan may carry the following
and still be defeated:
All the southern states, Including
Oklahoma and Missouri; New York,
Indiana. Colorado, Montana, Nevada,
South Dakota, Nebraska and Della
ware.
To carry all the above would be
possible only through such land
slide as occurred when Cleveland was
elected the first time, of which there
Is no premonitory symptom.
Indicating how strongly are all the
chances In favor of Taft, II is shown
that while New York is absolutely
necessary to the success OF Bryan,
New York, added to the other states
which he has a prospect of carrying,
would not insure his election.
Taft can be elected without New
York, while his success in the Empire
state actually means his success In
the nation.

Inc central CHRISTIAN Church or LeXinS'
ton, one of the largest organizations in the
city following in the wake Of Alexander
Campbell has made a proposition TO its di,
rectors. which is in turn to be submitted to
the congregation, which, if carried to log
ical conclusion, will be the beginning CT
the end.
The world, orthodox and heterodox
knows what is meant by the term back
slider" and it appears that the church above
named has had it's full share of that class
of people. 1t would obviate this difficulty
in the future by a new PLAN which it is
hoped, will bring the desired results.
According to newspaper reports. we do
net vouch for their accuracy, the church
directors will submit to the congregation
proposal to deprive the lukewarm members
of their standing in the church, and to
place them on sort of probationary list
until such time as they have demonstrated
their intention to overcome backsliding. In
addition to this certain individual require
ments are to be named and failing in the
standard or qualifications set, salvation by
this route will be denied. and the back
slider will have to get into another life
boat or suffer chances of lodging hell on
his own account. But look at what this
church wants:-
|. Character.
>. Attendance at church.
3. Liberal contributions to the church
!. ODSerNatlOn OF the LORD 5 supper.
To the average individual it would seem
that this church has gone a little too far
and if carried to the limit it will result
in its depopulation. Not one church in ten
could stand up under such a strain. AS a
general rule, and it is seriously doubted il
the church in question can be made an ex
ceptiOn. the parson will insist upon the
third qualification to the exclusion of the
others. Liberal contributions" are desr-
able at all times, and with gold the donor
is led to believe that he has purchased
front seat in heaven right up, near to the
throne. The liberal con ribution" if forth.
coming will supersede all defects in the
other qualifications enumerated, and oui
advice to the preacher of this church, and
its directors. would be not to Insist upon
too close an observance of the first, second
and fourth.
1t may be that beneath the plan proposed
lies the motive of forcing the Liberal con-
tributons" and the otner qualifications have
been suggested as mere side issues. Char
acter is always desirable. whether it be on
the inside or the outside of any church. ana
