The New Covenant Legion

The New Covenant Legion has been organized for annum- Der of years. IL was organized for the purpose of doing away with the old customs that were interfering materially with the growth of the church. Thru the work and influence of the earnest members of the Legion the old practices were gradually given up. Mr. Beck was in- StrUmental in organizing the Legion and has been untiring in his efforts to help the people give upthe old life and enter the Christian life. A part of the work has been to hold prayer meetinesin the homes of the peo- pie. These meetings are being continued again this year. On Tuesday and Friday evening of each week between thirty and fortypeople gather inthcse home meetings. These meetings are most profitable because thepeo- pie cannot read the Bible for themselves. Theregular Sunday and Wednesday eveningservices in the church do not satisfy their hunger. In this way the Gospel is doing its work.
 There is much in the lives ofthe people that is not as it should be but We are reioiced with what has been accomplished and trust and pray that growth may con- tinue.

was case of murder. A bullet hole
was found back of the right ear and a
thirty eight calibre bullet was found

Taft Is Determined That Tariff Revi-
sion Shall Mean Something.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 2O.-That Presi-
dent-eiect w H Taft entertains vigor-
Gus determination that the forthcoming
revision of the tariff shall be thorough,
made in good faith and in acceptance
with the pledge of the party is daily eYi-
denced in the earnestness with which he
talks on this subject with his political
callers. His interest goes to the extent
of seeking detailed information regarding
the personnel and prospective orSanIza-
ton of the Sixty-firSt congress. 1t Is
necessary for him the head of the
partv and responsible to the American
people for the carrying out of its prom
ises to begin his work at once by insur-
ing if possible such an organization of
the next congress as shall make it posi-
BILE for the executive branches to work
in complete harmony.
This is the problem which the president
elect admits is just now uppermost in his
mind and upon which he is seeking light.
In accordance with his ANNOUNCED deter
many subjects, Judge Taft has talked
with REPRESENTATIVE Burton for an hour
and half. The announced details of this
conference were that the speakership
question, tariff revision, the monetary
commission and the next cabinet had
been discussed. Judge Taft said he had
asked Mr.. Burton to resume the confer
ence Saturday. Mr.. Burton is
nounced candidate for the U. S. senate
from Ohio The president-elect was Wis
tied by delegation representing the
Civil Service Reform association and ask
ed to consider the question of including
fourth class postmasters in the classified
civil service.
