LINCOLN BELIEVED IN GOD.

1t has been asserted very confident
ly that President Lincoln was an un-
believer and never mentioned the
name of Christ in his speeches. But
Mr.. Newton Bateman, an intimate

guage he used upon one occasion: 81

injustice and slavery. l see the storm
coming, and l know that his hand is in
it. If he has a place and work for
me, and I think he has, I believe 1 am
ready I am nothing, but truth is
everything. I know that l am right,
because | know that liberty is right,
for Christ teaches it, and Christ is
God. I have told them that a house
divided against itself cannot stand,

to include as requirement for en-

the sciences and arts, the enrol1m ent

Guarantee Affects Mints,

S"'''oI 0udIdntee AHeCtS WIf1tS.
Reorganization of the mints of the
country, with reductions Of the forces
employed there, is being undertaken
by Director Roberts. This was one
OF the chief objects of his trip to San
francisco and Denver, from which ne
has just returned.
When Congress passed the recent
law authorizing the issue of gold GER
tlflcates for bullion it practically made
further gold coinage unnecessary.
From now on, there will be little gold
coinage, and the work of the mints
will consist largely in coming minor
| coins. The New Orleans mint will be
entirely discontinued. No appropria-
tion for it will be asked next year.
Elsewhere, at the mints at Philadel-
! phia, Denver and San Francisco, the
number of employees will be gradually
reduced. A large saving each year
will be thus effected,
1t. is the purpose of Director Rob
erts to reduce forces with as little
| hardship as possible Vacancies az
they are created will not be filled.
The older employees will be given con.
| sideration, and only those who have
been employed for short time will
be let out.
