He seeks to fill their minds with new ideas: ideas that will inspire a new faith. He turns their gaze from the earthly to thoughts Of the heavenly. It is the heavenly mansion of His Fathers house that He tells them about. He is going away to look after those mansions for them, to see that they are fitted up in proper style that by and by they may go and live with Him forever. Nor Is that all. He seeks afresh to fix their minds upon Himself, to revive their faith in Him. He would have them look upon Him in new and truer light.

Still, it is by these glorious God given ideas that Christ strives to deliver His chosen from their distressed, distracted. despairing thoughts. He would arm them with a new mind and heart, catch away their souls to behold a grander day and a more glorious life.

THE QUALITY OF FAITH
 WHICH MEN REQUIRE
TO TRIUMPH OVER LIFE's DIFFI-
 CULTIES.
Subject of Sermon of Doctor Wilkinson
 at First M. E. Church.

In the absence in the east of Rev. J. A. Geissinger, pastor of the First M. E. church, Rev. R. H. Wilkinson is supplying the pulpit. pr. Wilkinson had for his subject yesterday morning, How many have complete victory over life's supreme crises: or, the quality of faith needed to make us triumph over life's greatest difficulties and af- flictions." Preaching from the text, Believe also in Me" John XVI, Dr Wilkinson said:
 Richard Cecil was an eminent Eng fish clergyman, living a century ago. In his young manhood he was a pro- nounced, outspoken infidel, but con verted at 24 he became one of the most eloquent preachers of the Gospel. On his deathbed he exhorted a fellow min- ister. Hold up Christ; tell the people to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ Said he: Some have objected that have preached too much on a faith, but were l to preach again they would hear much more of it. There was scarcely an occasion when faith was not on the lips of Jesus. He demanded it as the ground upon which he would do His mighty works. To the father whose child was possessed with an-evil spirit. He said: If thou can'st be- lieve,' etc. All things are possible to him that believes. Of His native Nag areth it is said, He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.' He severely rebuked the lack of faith To sinking Peter, He said. o. thou of little faith; where fore didst thou doubt% On that Oc casion when the disciples appealed to Him, Lord save us; we perish Jesus replied, Where is yOur faith?' When He cured the lunatic boy He eXclaim- ed. @, faithIess and perverse genera tion; how long shall I suffer you" over and over again He commended and encouraged faith.
 "To the woman who touched the hem of His garment He said, Thy faith hath made thee whole The Syro- Phoenician woman was cheered by the inspiring utterance, e woman, great is thy faith: be it with thee as thou wilt I have not found so great faith, no. not in Israel were the soulful words with which he almost amazed the Capernaum centurion. How often He exhorted, Believe; be not afraid: only believe was His soul-lifting eX- clamation to Jairus. Have faith in God; believe me; believe in God, and in me believe These were some of the ringing exhortations Jesus gave to His disciples. So great were the de-

mandS Christ constantly made upon
 faith that the Apostles coming to real
 ize how much they needed it. on one occasion exclaimed, Lord, increase our faith In this connection it is worthy of note that John so presents His gos- pei as to make plain hoy it developed 1 faith in the tWelVe-led them on, step
 by step. giving them new ideas and ! larger views concerning Himself and
 His kingdom as they were able to re-
 ceive them. It was Johns purpose thus
 to lead others into like precious faith. | If possible you should read his gospel
 at a single sitting to clearly see the
 way of faith. how from one degree to another and another and another. He lifts the soul in confidence Tn Christ as divine-the Son of God. John him self tells us that was why he wrote his gospel: And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in the book; but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ. the Son of God; and that, believing, ye might have life through His name
 He declares the same purpose in writ ing his first epistle: These things have l written unto you that believe on the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life. and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of Goi' Why did Christ make this fresh demand for faith uttered in the teXt?( When He wrought His first miracle, turning the water into wine, il is said. He manifested forth His glory and His disciples believed on Him So, too, when He raised Lazarus it was to the intent that His disciples should believe
 What were now the circumstances that called for an enlarged, a stronger faith? They were most momentOus Christ knew that He had reached the supreme crisis of His history He knew too, that it would prove all but over whelming for His disciples. Far bet ter than they knew had He been read ing the perturbed, depressed state of their minds. For many weeks with tenderest soliCitude had He watched their souls gradually filling with com
 motions and Upheavals that were if nally to plunge them into deepest be-
 wilderment and despair. How His heart was moved by that touching re- monstrance. The Jews of late sought to stone thee and goest thou thithcr again. which was unitedly made by His disciples when, for the last time. He said, Let us go into Judea again Then a little later when it was seen that he would go at all hazards, how Jesus soul was troubled at the de pressing, deSpairinG cry of Thomas, doubtless voicing the feelings of them all. Let Us also go that we may dle with Him., which spoke more the warmth of .heir love than the strength of faith. And now it is the last night before He was slain. They still finger around the passover board. Strange things have been donS and said. Christ. after the manner of a slave, has wash ed their feet. refusing their ambitious demand for the chief place at the feast He is to leave them, going whither they can not follow. One of them is to betray; even Peter. chief among them. is to deny him. A dark shadow is upon them. Some terrible thing is

He knows that His person will pene- trate the soul by the way of intuitive perceptions, while His works will reach the same by the avenue of the reason- | ing faculty And so the two beliefs Christ eXhorts, the one in His person and the other in His works, are es- sential parts of grand whole. The combined effect of the two evidences is the satisfying of the entire soul and the creating of a full assurance of faith. We should ever give each Ob- ject of faith its due consideration and place, remembering that Christ has made them both the fundamental evil dences of His divine mission.
 Tn closing, let me say. look away from troubles. Remember there is one who is able to make and who does make, all things work together for good to them who love Him. Think how deeply He sympathized with the disciples. How faithfully He labored to deliver them from their gloomy, de- spending thoughts. He has the same sympathy and care for each of you. Do not fail to study well the grand ideas with which He filled their minds: The heavenly mansions of His Fath- CTS house; that He was to make ready for them, and personally welcome each one to His everlasting home. and to His own companiOnship forever. that despite their doubts and fears He was the only way by which they could come to His Father To turn to the scrip ture and carefully study it and reflect upon it must bring comfort, an uplift of soul in every trying hour.
 We should see that our faith is rooted and grounded in Jesus Christ that it brings us into such intimacy of union with Him that we live in Him and He in us. We need to get under the full blaze of the personal Christ till the divine rays and fires of the sun of righteousness burn into the depths of our souls. Then will Christ be the Sun of Our Souls, and our lives will be all sunshine in the presence of our Lord. Then will we have no doubts about the person or works of Christ. They will be to us the most supreme evidences of Gods love and mercy. We will have a

observation-disclosures will be asked,
at the instance of President Taft, to
authorize the issuance of bonds to the
extent of the latest estimate of the cost
of the Panama canal. This issue would
be in lieu of that proposed in the rider
to the Payne tariff bill (stricken out in
the senate), authorizing the issuance of
$4,000 900 in bonds, to reimburse the
general fund of the treasury for the
purchase of the canal property.
The Goethals estimate of 1897, 900 900
as cost of the canal complete was used
as a basis for the proposed bond issue.
The secretary of the treasury would
be empowered to issue the bonds, as the
money is needed, at interest not to
exceed 3 per cent. Just now the sec
rotary of the treasury is anxious to
reimburse the working balance in the
treasury and out of the first issue of
bonds this balance would receive the
sum of $5O,OO0,0OO made up of the pur-

the general fund for the purchase of the

COPPER BOOKS FOUND
DETECTIVE REWARDED Aztec
TWO MONTHS HARD WORK.
Secret Service Man Accomplishee

New York.-The stolen books of the
United States Copper Company, to re.
cover which the full power of the Fed
eral courts was un~availing against the
power of +. Augustus Heinze and his
millions, were captured Tuesday by a
single agent of the secret service in a
house at No. $40 West Fifty-ffth street.
The detective whose strategy it is be.
lieved has thus secured TO the United
States district attorney the evidence of
F. Augustus Heinze's alleged illegal loans

Bank is P. Pigniuolo. In a taxieab he
drove up to the office of the Federal
prosecutor at $50 o'clock this afternoon
and delivered two trunks, in which the
books were packed as when he found
them. Pigniuolo's pursuit of the ledgers
has covered a period of nearly two
months. 1t is known that the books
vanished from the Broadway office of

COTTON BELOW IL CENTS.
Break of 100 Points-Weevil Doing
Small Damage.

Memphis, Tenn.-The price of options
on the new cotton crop sold below IL
cents in New York and New Orleans
Friday, on the publication of a bulletin
by the governments boil weevil experts,
saying that the weevils were less threat.
eng to the cotton than at this time
last year.
October in New York sold at 1872,
a break of SO points or $4.65 per bale,
from the high figures of Tuesday. Oc'
tober in New Orleans broke to 11.91, or
lo2 points from Tuesdays highest equiv
alent, to $50 per bale.
In part the decline was due to re-
ports of showers in Northern Texas and
apprehensions by bulls that general rains
might come to Texas, where drouth has
prevailed for several weeks and moist
ure is greatly needed.
Perhaps, however, the most important
reason for the break was the enthusiasts
tic everyday given prices on the advance,
the rise having been carried beyond the
warrant of the crop situation. The
boil weevil news, therefore, became the
occasion, rather than the cause for the
decline.

Washington.-All doubt as to where
President Taft stands with regard tx
the downward revision of the tariff was
swept away Friday, when a statement
vas given out at the White House set
ting forth in detail what the president
had to say to twenty-three Republican
members of congress, who called to pro

The president, in this statement, de.
clared that the Republican party is com.
mitted to a downward revision; that he
has never had any other idea of the
Chicago platform, and that he person.
ally has promised a downward revision
to the people.
This statement is interpreted in some
quarters here tonight as a direct noti-

education of children at the Russian
court is not so severe as it was in
the earlier part of last century. The

brought up, for instance, was certain
ly stringent. If simple.
Brayley Hodgetts has summarized
the young Alexander's days work as
| follows:
HE and his comrades, Vielgorski
and Patkul, had to get up at six, and,
| after prayers and breakfast, began
| their lessons at seven. These were
| continued till noon, with an interval
between nine and ten for recreation.
AFTER a two hours walk they had
dinner at two, after which they played
or rested until five, when lessons
we're resumed until seven; then they
were allowed to play or do gymnastics
| for an hour. At eight supper was
served. The evening was devoted to
a review of the days achievements
and to posting the diary. At ten they
went to bed.
ION Sundays and holidays the hours
| devoted to lessons were taken up
partly with improving reading, partly
with some. handicraft and gymnastics.
Notwithstanding the ability ex-
hibited by Alexander, it seems that
he was wanting in steady application.
He was brilliant, but no plodder. In
order to make him work Capt. Moer-
der hit upon an ingenious plan. He

dren were not allowed to contribute

was a lovely girl, fresh, blooming, in

and evidently on her way home from
school.

the girl. "You know, I've never seen
you but once, Chief Justice Fuller,

Lincoln, Neb.-William j. Bryan on
Tuesday addressed a letter to President
Taft, asking him to allow the people to
vote on popular election of senators.
Mr.. Bryan says:
President Taft-Now that the States
are going to vote on the ratification OF
the amendment specifically authorizing
an income tax, why not give them a
chance to vote on an amendment pro-
viding for the election of United States
senators by popular vote? In your
speech of acceptance you said that you
were personally inclined to favor such
a change in the constitution. Would
this not be an opportune time to present
the subject to Congress?

authorizing income tax and the other
providing for the popular election of SEN
ators, would make your administration
memorable, and 1 pledge you whatever
assistance I can render in securing the
ratification of these amendments. With
great respect l am, yours truly,

COTTON Il "a CENTS
PREDICTION Is MADE THAT
PRICE WILL GO TO 10 CENTS.
Much Depends Upon Rain in Texas.
Dry Goods Strong at
an Advance.

Memphis, Tenn.-Beyond a few min
utes' hesitation on the opening, while
the trade was waiting for the weather
in detail, there, was never q waver in
Mondays cotton market, which adj
vanced steadily to the highest prices OF
the year and the highest closing level Of
the season. The drought in Texas was
unrelieved by even the lightest showers
over Sunday and many reports said the
situation was alarming. October sold at
12.72, an advance of 81 points from the
close of Saturday, and December topped
the day off with 1875.
The buying fever appears to be grow
ing daily. The conviction that this is to
be a season of very high cotton prices
has become quite widespread. At the
moment, however, the entire market ap'
pears to hang on one contingency, and
that is rain in Texas, as the crop else.
where is admittedly improving. Bulls
are confident that lower prices would at
tract new buyers and that the losses al
ready sustained by the crop justify the
present or higher prices.
A feature was the advance of 30
points in spot cotton in New York
which puts the price of actual cottor
beyond 10 cents, for the first time since
the memorable Sulley campaign in late
1908 and early 1904. The Memphis quo
tation was advanced hc to 12Ac and
New Orleans rose Ac to 12iasc. There
was rendered on contract II, 500 bales il
New York, which if taken from the stock
or distributed to spinners, as some OF il
may be, will deplete the small supplies
held there as a protection to the con
tract.
Predictions of 13c for the week are
often made. Conservative people tall
15c, while a few enthusiasts see zoe il
their dreams. What the possibilities O
the market are in the way of prices
however, no man knows.
