Theae mianlona are intendetl primarily for the reawakening ami renewed ac tivity of Christian principles of life and eonduet. And that they achieve their object I* abundantly proved by the remarkable results they produce wherever they are preached. Men and women who have strayed far from the paths of righteousness have Felt their hearts new-opened as they listened to the grand fundamental truths of t'hristiau morality. Thousand* of these contrite prodigals return to their Father’s home and never tease to thank Hod for the gnat grace of the mission which wrought so powerfully In their souls. F\cn from a purely civic standpoint the coining mission ought to meet with ever■> possible encouragemfnt as it will be a powerful force working for tbe mm I uplift of our citizens.

Washington Hears Report That Justice Holmes is to Retire to Make Place For ex-President. The following is from the Washing ton correspondence of The New York Herald o' Tuesday: Professor William Howard Taft, of New Haven, Conn., formerly presi dent of the United States, will be a|i iadnted a United States supreme court Justice by President Wilson. This Information comes to The Her ald from an unquestioned authority. From the same authoritative source it Is learned that the resignation ot Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, of Massachusetts, will make the vacan cy which Mr. Taft will fill. The date of Mr. Taft’s appointment is contingent upon the time required for the disposition of Important cases which have the especial consideration of Justice Holmes, but it is regarded as certain that, barring unforeseen exigencies, Mr. Taft will terminate his Yale professorship within a year. In fact, there is very authentic ground for the statement that Mr. Taft already has made tentative ar rangements for severing his connec tion with Yale and for again taking tip his residence In Washington. One of the White House officials said he had no Information on which to confirm the report. Justice Holmes' Wish. Justice Holmes' desire »o divest himself oT Judicial cures and responsi bilities is the sole motive for his con templated action, it is hinted, how ever. that his resolve to he relieved of the exacting duties which have en grossed ills time and attention for twelve years Is reinforced and hasten ed by a desire to see Mr. Taft on the supreme bench. Rut whatever in fluence the pending apoplntment of Mr. Taft may have exerted in dictat ing Justice Holmes’ decision to retire lias been subjective. Not the faint est whisper that his retirement would be agreeable has escaped tho lips ot President Wilson, or any of Justice Holmes' colleagues or any of Mr. Taft's friends. Said to Be Eager. It is said on unimpeachable author ity thut Pros like nt Wilson sounded Mr. Talt on the question of his ac re; ting a supreme court justiceship several months ago and that Mr. Tatt after consideration expressed his wil lingness—even eagerness—to go on the bench. He wanted first, however, to continue in his Yale professorship long enough to be sure that his ser vice made more titan a passing im pression "I would not have it go out for the world that I was merely marking time at Yale," the one-time president is reported to have said It Is said that a small circle out side of those Immediately concerned has known of Mr. Taft's coming ap pointment for three months, but that they were In the dark long concern ing the identity of the Justice who was to retire.

Geographically, the appointment of Mr. Taft, who is now a resident of New Haven, will he esi eoially satis factory to New England, for it will continue its representation on the su preme court bench. Politically, it will not change the complexion of the court, for Justice Holmes is a repub lican. Justice Holmes is a graduate of Harvard, but he has a L. U D. from Yale as well as from Harvard, Williams and Merlin. Immediately after his graduation he enlisted for the civil war. He was wounded three times, and front one wound. It Is said, he did not entirely recover. His Steel Work To Begin on the Empire This P.
