Theodore Roosevelt President Tafi

ed sermon, text and all, whicn wa.
as enthusiastically eCelNe ed as the one

President Taft appeared, and the quick
response Of the audience to points
which he ende vcred to impress upon
his hearers. inspired him, the presi
dent said. with higher thoughts Of
country and patriotism.
The presidents sermon was an ap
peal for amity between the people
for attributing the best rather than the
worst motives to the action OF others
when possible to do so, and not to har
Dor hatred or animosity.
"A soft answer turneth away wrath,
but grievous words stir up anger" was
the text Mr.. Taft selected from the
Book of Proverbs The sermon was
homely utterance. largely made up
OF a relation of stories to give en-.
phasis to the points.
From the tabernacle the president
was driven to review about 10000
school children. At one point along
the line a thousand or more children
had been arranged in a living flag, red,
white and blue caps and capes serving
TO outline the national emblem.
Thence the president proceeded to|
the Young Mems Christian associa.
tion. where he made a brief address
TO an audience composed entirely of
men. Lastly the president attended
services specially for him at the Uni
tartan church.
After this unusually busy Sunday
morning he left Salt Lake at noon Cor
ogden, where he enjoyed an 1S-mlIe
ride through ogden canon, and made
his third address of the day at Lester
Park.

Cook Tendered Banquet.

New York, Sept. 24.--Rh banuuet
rendered to DR.. Frederick A. Cook last
evening by the Arctic Club of Ameri-
ca. at che WaldOrf-Astoria. the Brook,
lyu explorer delivered a speech, in
which after recOunting the pertls OF
those who have heretoEsre attempted
to make the trip north. he said.
Now, gentlemen, appeal to you as
explorers and as men. Am hound to
appeal to anybody, to any man. TO any
body of mentor a license to look
for the pole?
Another criticism is the charge OF.
our insufficient equipment. We have,
met this. You know that we had
every possible aid to success in sledge
travelling A big ship is no advantage.
An army of white men, who at best
are novices, is a distincs hindranoN,
while a cumbersome luxury of equip
ment is fatal to, progress. We chose
to live a life as simple as that of
Adam and we forced the strands of
human endurance to scientific limits
If you will reach the pole there il
no other way.
"Now, as 10 the excitement of the
press to force things of their own
picking from important records into
print In reply TO this / have taken
the stand that l have already given
tangible account of our Journey. It
is as complete as the preliminary re-
ports of any previous explorer. The
data, the observations, the record, are
of exactly the same character. Here
tofore such evidence has been taken
with faith and the complete record
was not expected to appear for years,
whereas we agree to deliver all with
in few months.
Records VIII Come to All.
NOW, gentlemen, about the pole
We arrived April 81, 1908. We dis
covered new land along the one hun
dred and second meridian between
the eighty-fourth and the eighty.fifth
parallel. Beyond this there was abso
lutely no life and no land. The lee
was in large, heavy fields with few
pressure lines. The drift was soutl
of east, the wind was south of west
Clear weather gave good regular OBJ
, servations nearly every day. Thes,
observations. combined with those a
the pole on the 2lst and 22d of April
are SUFFICIENT to guarantee our claim
When taken in connection with the
general record. you do not requir,
: this. l can see that. but this and al

LOTS OF GOLD.

Sometimes big figures are interest ing. however difficult 1t may be to comprehend them, or to compare them with what we are familiar with. An example of this is shown in the figures prepared at Washington from the best sources available, of the total produc- tion and coinage of gold during four centuries. or since the discovery of America, say. According to those es- inmates the amount Is thirteen billions of dollars, in round numbers
 Now. as we have said. it Is difficult to comprehend such figures. because We have nothing with which to compare them. A million dollars is a large sum. but billion is one thousand times as much. and the figures give us thirteen times that sum. so we can only take the estimates as we read them, and wonder at the sum thev represent. And we might also wonder where 1t all is, or if it Is stiI in existence. No doubt a considerable amount has dis- appeared from human sight in ono way or another. but even then there must be enough left to give us all some pocket money If 1t were divided and handed around, but with gold. as with other good things of this life, some get more and some get less-and most of them get less.
 While on the subject It Is interesting to learn from the figures that nearly half the total amount has been pro- duced within the last quarter of cen tury The figures that we have seen | do not give the total production since

"The Promise."

Selected for The Advertiser)
 "I Will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where am there ye may be also."-John xiv. 3.
 Exceeding great and precious -are the promises of God And perhaps 1t Is not too much to say. that manifold and priceless as they are they are all all
 A more comforting promise than this could not be given. And it comes from the lips of Him who IS truth It. self. Let us each ask ourselves faith fully. What does this promise mean to me? Has 1t any influence over my daily life? When look into my heart do I find the desire paramount there that l should be with Christ? Do want to be with Him continually and eternally?"
 Every man whatever his life, hopes to find at last a place In Heaven. That is to say, when worn with the tnhrmi- ties of age, or the racking pain of disease. or having survived al! sis dear would be glad to enter to q place "where the weary are at rest" Heaven may be desired not because or the presence of God and the Lamb, but because the mourner hopes there 70 rejoin those dearly loved and early
 But none of those reasons really touch the question. It Is of urgent necessity, therefore, that we snoulo ascertain truly and honestly what will make Heaven to us, and what will constitute our Chief happiness there? Is if to be ever with the Lord, so that you will meet your Saviour face to tace, and be continually with Him? Do you desire to be there because you will be free from sin? That you will escape the snares and temptations of the devil and the deceitfulness of your own heart? Do you desire Heaven because 1t will bring, you into closer communion with God?--with no more trails to faith. for you will then reach the fruition of all your hopes.
 | These are needful inquires at all times. for there Is always tendency in us to Rravitate to the lower and more selfish part of our nature. And we do well to investigate and make sure of the hope within us.

SAVINGS NINE BILLIONS.

New York Tribune.
 According to statistics compiled by William Hanhart, secretary of the sav- lngs bank section of the American Bankers Associa ton. the banked" savings in the United States amount to $5.56o,sS7.O1S. Including the sav- ings in life insurance companies and building and loan associations, the to- tai visible savings of the people of this country are placed by MT. Han hart at approximately $9, 9,500, ,000. poo. equal to SIS per capita of popuIa- ton.
 MT. Hanhart's figures were compiled at the request of the committee on postal savings banks of the American Bankers Association. with whom he has just filed his report. Mir. Hanhart says in this report that the figures compiled by the Comptroller of the Currency showing total ''banked" say ings of only S3,660,553,s45, are incom- plete, inasmuch as they do not in- clude savings deposits in State and national hanks
 In speaking of the statistics he has compiled. Mir. Hanhart says: q think prove the failacy of the argument advanced by former Postmaster Gem eral In connection with his proposal to establish postal savings banks that the savings banks of the United States are not adequate to the needs of the public and that In many parts of the country there are no facilities what ever for taking care of the savings of our citizens

the California gold mines were opened some sixty years ago. but we judge that up to that time. and up to the opening of the rich mines of South Af- rica and Australia. the quantity of the precious metal known to have been produced and coined was small ccin- pared with the total production m four hundred years The hunger and craze for gold was not so general among the people of former days as 1t is in our era. The gold-lust, as applied to or affecting the common people, Is something of a modern disease.
