A GOOD sermon.
Rev. Fred. T. Shannon, Of Brooklyn
Preached Here Sunday.

Back to the place of his birth; back
to the scene of his boyhood and the
home of proud father and moth
er, back to the little city where
live SO many who are glad to well
come the boy-boy no longer
whose course they have watched
with satisfaction and with a feeling
of proprietorship, the Rev. Fred
erick Shannon stood in the pulpit
OF the NJ E. Church South on last
Sunday morning, before an audience
as large as the spacious building
could comfortably hold, and preach
ed to them of the weakness and
futility of unbelief and the victor
ious omnipotence of saving be-
lief in God and His Son, The scrip
ture lesson had sounded the key
note, the more than hint of the
mastery contrasting pictures of
the sermon. The choir had voiced its
ascription to the Blessed Three In
One, and the soloist had declared
in tuneful rythm that "other refuge
than Jesus. the lover of souls, there
was none, and SO, with such fitting
prelude, the gifted Louisian began
his message to the waiting people.
He said that he was glad to be
here again and to preach to his
friends, young and old. He had
been asked, he said, If it were not
difficult to preach in his home town.
and he had answered that to him
1t was easy, and those who heard
Mr.. Shannon on. this occasion for
the first time found what his old
friends already knew, that it is in
deed easy for him to face a con-
gregation in the place of his ma
tivity and declare unto them the
whole counsel of God.
Mr. Shannon had found in Mark
and in Hebrews passages which told
of the power of faith and the
weakness of unbelief, and with
these to form a foundation he built
up and showed to his hearers a
structure of original thought and
ideas, clothed in eloquent phrase
and perfect diction The utter en-
ptinsss and absolute weakness of
unbelief we're shown so strongly
that an unbeliever who heard the.
strong, simple words of the preach
er and saw with mental vision the
striking illustrations must have
hated himself for his doubts and
disbelief. On the other hand he
who had found and kept his faith
in God and His Son must have had
that faith renewed when the preach
er told of what faith had done for
the world and for man.
Mr.. Shannon declared, what is
indeed strange, that, contrary TO
general opinion, the Bible contains
no definition of faith. True, there
is the declaration that faith is the
substance of things hoped for. the
evidence of things not seen, but
this, he declared, was the result of
faith. Every cynic is the one who
has lost faith" Faith in Jesus
Christ gives man victory over
himself, and the hardest thing a
man has to overcome is himself
Have faith in your heavenly Faith
er, even as the Swiss boy on the
Alps had faith in the strong arm
of his earthly father, and all will
be well with you.

PENNY POSTAGE POSSIBLE.

Postage Rates Imminent = Policies

In thorough accord with the policy
Of economy and efficiency Of the Taft
administration. Postmaster General
Frank II. Hitchcock has put an end to
the annual deficit In the postofiice de.
partment and made possible the serious
consideration Of further reforms and
improvements, not the least important
OF which is the imminent possibility
OF penny postage. Many other reforms
that have the support Of President
Taft will be inaugurated this year.
Another term Of the Taft administra-
tion would place this S24O.OO0 600 bnsi-

At the beginning Of the present ad-
ministrati0n the postal service was in
arrears to the extent Of S17.479. .77o.47.
which was decidedly the largest deficit
on record Last year the revenues ex-
ceeded The expenditures by S219.1ls.1 .12.
The wiping out OF the deficit has
been accomplished without any cur

trary. there have been established 3.744
new postoffiees. delivery by carrier
has been provided in 1856 additional
cities. and 2.516 new rural routes, ag-

TAFT DEFEATS RAILROADS.
Prevents Increase In Freight Rates by
Vigorous Action.

Prevents Increase In Freight Rates by
Vigorous Action.
President Taft's method of doing his
work as president without seeking TO
achieve personal notoriety from his
good works was never better illustrat-
ed than in his ultimatum to the rail
roads of the country which prevented
a general Increase in railroad rates just
prior to the adoption Of amendments
to the railroad rate law two years ago.
The president served notice upon the
railroads that if they anticipated the
new law they would be hailed into
court and as result of subsequent
conferences the railroads agreed to
postpone their action until the new law
was passed.
In the new law Of congress President
Taft assisted in inserting a provision
which transferred from the shoulders
of the shipper to that of the railroads
the burden OF proof in establishing the
reasonableness of railroad rate
Prior to that time the practice had
been just the opposite. with the result
that many shippers who were or had
been suffering from discriminatory
rates or practices. were unable to prove
their cases without great expense or
long litigation or both. Under this new
law the railroads subsequently made
application for an increase in theii
rates and the Interstate commerce com
mission, not being satisfied with The
showing of the railroads as to theiI
reasonableness, denied them. Thus
one of the great achievements of Presi
dent Taft came to pass, an achieve
ment which affected every man, won
an and child in the country, but It was
done so quietly that 1t has almost been
forgotten by many who were benefited.

tai amount expended for salaries was
approximately $14.000,OO0 greater than
two years ago. The average annual
salary has been increased from $3.50

to Sf,0S4 for city letter carriers and
from $1,16S to S1.1S3 for railway pos

of the postal service and increased
compensation for Its employees have
gone hand in hand with a vanishing

Under President Taft the postoffice
department has engaged in an aggres-
sive crusade against the fraudulent
use of the mails. Last year the in
spectors investigated many cases in
volving the sale of worthless stock In
imaginary mining companies and other
fictitious concerns. There were alto
gether 500 indictments and 1874 convic-
