FRESH FROM HIS LAIR.

SFafth is disposition to believe on
sufficient evidence.
There is great difference between
belief and assent.
1t is what we believe that makes us
what We are.
To have a great life we must have
a great creed.
If you have no creed II Is evidence
you have no character.
Faith has its center primarily not
in the intellect but in the will.
The test of faith is obedience.
Not only must you have faith but
the thing or power in which you have
Faith must be able to deliver the goods.
1t is easy to believe what you want
to believe but very difficult to believe
what you don't want to believe.
Our beliefs are fixed very largely
by our desires.
There is vast difference in believ-
ing with the head and with the heart
Believing with the head is believing
with compulsion and believing with
the heart is believing from choice.
You are not going to have a thor.
6rgh sweeping revival in Fairmont
until you quit playing with religion
and get down TO business.
Faith Is the bottom OF business so
II is the bottom OF education and the
bottom OF religion.
The love of God pulling and the fear
OF God pushing is bringing US nearer
and nearer to God.
If Fairmont could just realize what
1t means for soul TO be lost you
would see the people by the thousands
seeking everlasting life.

is that he wanted TO be Christian
Someone says. What has that to dc
with the reply OF Paul Believe in tho
Lord JesGs Christ and thou shalt be
sayed?' What has our desire to do
with our belief? 1t has, my friends, TAI
more TO do with your belief than any

10 believe what you want 10 believe. T.
Is very hard to believe what you dc
not want TO believe. 1t is easy to be

to believe something bad about you,

jailer had. He desired to be saved
and asked the way he might receive
salvation.
The jaiIer had been given sufficient
evidence through the actions of these
two godly men when they were perse

the religion they preached and de.

thing that made the iailer cry out,

Wall Street lawyer. is heard. Mr.. Led
yard will tell the details of TIE telephone
conversations in which 1t WAS urged that
Edward Lauterbach be retained in the
dissolution case.
1t is learned that Lamar has been ad-
vised to make a clean breaEs of all he
knows about the matter. Due to this,
1t is expected that he will reveal the
identity Of the mysterious person who
boosted influence with Speaker Clark,
Leader Underwood. and others.
John Robert s. Lovett. the Hartman
representative, who first revealed the
existence Of the alleged conspiracy, will
leave for Europe tomorrow, but will be
represented before the committee by Paul

conference several times during the last
few days.
Neither Mr.. Ledyard nor Mr. cravath

break the silence which has been main
tanned since the first disclosures were
made.

HEARINGS PROPOSED

biliH If Obtainias Further
Vievs.


Indications that the Houss Banking
and Currency Committee intends to make
a more general investigation Of financial
conditions in the country than had been
anticipated. preliminary to bringing in a
currency reform bill, yesterday became
apparent.
On the motion Of Democratic members
Of the committee Representative wingo
of Arkansas, a member of the committee
was authorized to collect what data he
could on the ownership of United States
2 per cent bonds which the Glass cur
rency bill proposes to retire, and which
are the basis of national bank note circu-
lation.
1t is asserted that a majority of these
bonds are controlled by three big bank
ing houses in New York City, and Wingo
Is determined to find out IL this Is 80
Wingo will try to get this information
from the Treasury Department, and II
he cannot ne may appeal to the national
banks OF the country Tor this informa-
ton.
1t was stated yesterday that the DEM
ocratic members of the committee favor
holding a limited number of hearings on
the bill, although Chairman Carter Glass
himself Is opposed to holding further
hearings. President Wilson Is said to
be in doubt as to the wisdom of holding
further hearings. No decision has yet
been reached on this question.
The Republican members OF the COM
mittee yesterday signalized their resent
ment at the manner in which they had
been ignored by their Democratic col.
leagues by adopting a resolution that all
meetings of the committee or subcom-
mittees, called in connection with the
preparation of the currency committee,
be open to all members of Congress. The

greatly improve the taste. but also in

preparations for childre1's use can be

Just as with bread, many people feel
that they cannot do without potatoes.
Potatoes should always be boiled in the

When the potatoes are suf1iciently cooked

Is planned, will resemble the Mardi Gras
