Democratic Campaign Book The Democratic National Congress ional Committee has issued its Cam paign Book and is now distributing it. The committee has no funds save as it obtains them through contributions and is selling the book at $1 per copv, or for 50c a copy of lots of ten or more. The book is replete with valuable matter and is said to Le the best Cam paign Book ever issued. Every demo crat should have it and in this year of democratic effort for supremacy should gladly contribute to the committee by purchasing the book. The committee did valiant service in Maine with notable results, and if democrats every where will rise to the occasion, by their dollar contributions,, the democratic suu will rise triumphantly, not to set for fifty years to come.

Taft and Roosevelt Meet New Haven, Conn., Sept. 21 The second meeting of President Tast and Colonel Roosevelt was held Monday. The meeting was over the situation in New York state, about which both are worried. The recent republican defeat in Maine has given them much anxiety about New York state Roosevelt has plainly intimated that he will not run for governor and that he will refuse the nomination. Taft is willing to iiin again if nomi nated but he is not seeking the nomi nation. If the people of the United States do not appear to want him a second term he will not ruti. The meeting was not successful or any bet ter understanding the President and Colonel Roosevelt, although it seams that a truce has been arranged in Nw YdfK sUte. The presidency of 1912 was not dis cussed, but the shadow of the coining electi )i) overhung the meeting, and while it may have been of advantage to the Roosevelt leaders it was barren of any results looking toward any bet ter understanding or feehug between the two men on national issues.

Why Is It that, even among pro fessed Christians, there Is so much evlLspeakln&of. those who araabaont? What rule should govern our con versation ifbout our follows? Why is it not legitimate to discuss nn evil report about the absent, even If we have reason to bellevo It Is true? Verse 1C-17 What does It Imply to "walk in the Spirit?" Do the natural and legitimate appe- J tltes, and desires of the body, neces sarily war against the Spirit of God, or is the reference here to the flesh, or sinful mind?

Verses 22-24 How many, .or how much, of these fruits of the Spirit, ripens on the day wo first commit our seles to be "led of the Spirit?" A flower garden needs at least two things, viz., to be free of weeds and for the flowers to grow, the one being Eudden and the other gradual; does this fairly represent the needs of a soul, and if so specify the process? Verse 25 Do those who receive the Spirit have to learn to walk in Him, and If to, how is it done? (This ques tion must be answered In writing by members of the club.) Verso 20 If a Christian, out of love, is engaged In good work, la it right or wrong for him to desire to know that his work is appreciated?
