REV. /. 3. THOMAS TALK.
Sorry There Are SO Many PERFECT
Christians"


A large attendance was present at
Main Street Baptist church last night
to hear Rev. Leo Boone Thomas ad-
dress on Inside sinners and outside
saints"
The sermon dealt with those who are
outside the church yet are living per-
feet lives, and Of those who are mem
bers of the church and yet have never
been truly converted In part, Rev. Mr..
Thomas said:
when duty calls and a man hes
itates, he is a traitor and those who
stand outside are doomed. Some may
profess to be saved and believe them
selves to be Christians. I have no
guide but the Bible the star that
points out the way to salvation.
"A word about the inside sinners.
There are many in the church who
think they are perfect Christians. l

Boston, May 22.-Wheat opened steady
today at about Saturdays close; the
worlds shipments were as expected and
the weather favorable. The early trade
was narrow and almost entirely in local
operat tons, it revealed moderate steadi-
ness of undertone, based upon the char
acter of the news, relating principally
TO insect damage. As foreign markets
were closed, foreign houses were prac-
ticaliy without orders. The Northwest

Of the winter wheat yield at $50. 600 coo
bushels was bearish, but the heavy buy
ing by ST. Louis and the strength of the
July option at St. Louis. added to the
decrease I'm the visible supply. gave
strength to the market which advanced
steadily and closed practically on top.
Stocks of whea in Europe are very
small and Argentina has shipped the
bulk Of its exportable surplus. SO future
requirements must be satisfied here Re
week were only 2.100 600 bushels COM
pared with 600, 900 bushels same week
last year. The advance will probably
continue
The stock market opened barely steady
and soon began TO recede under sales
by traders who remained bearish in
opinion. Sugar again showed nervous
fluctuations, under various rumors, and
the general railway list declined frac-
tonally. At the concession there was
disposition to cover shorts. which
steadied the market for s time.

Boston Stock Market
Was Narrow and
Dull.
QUOTATIONS. WERE EASY.
Comment on the Copper
Combine News and
Notes.

The stock market was heavy yester-
day and lacking in marked features.
AZ general yielding of prices took
place in Wall street, with some of the
industrial and traction shares display
ing pronounced heaviness.
Federal Steel, Sugar and Brooklyn
Transit led in interest the last named
losing ~. There was some rally, but
it was not marked; the list was heavy
all day and with little public interest
it acted Just as q professional trading
market generally does. A number of
the specialties moved upward at the
opening, notably Sugar, International
Silver and New York Air Brake, the
last. points. The general tendency
seemed to be downward, railroad
stocks showing small losses and trac-
ton stocks being especially heavy.
London was not a factor in the eX-
change, they being closed for the Whit
suntide holidays. Continued pressure
against the shares of New York local
corporations caused material losses in
Consolidated Gas, Metropolitan and
Brooklyn Transit. Free offerings of
Sugar, American Tobacco and Anacon-
da mining weakened them consider
ably, but there was no material change
in railway stocks, which were un-
usually dull. Toward noon the trading
became more lively at the expense of
values, with the weakness very gen
eral. Considerable attention was paid
by the bears to the grangers and
Southwestern stocks, which previously
had been well held. The specialties
bore the brunt of the attack, the Flow
er stocks suffering severely and Brook
lyn Transit yielded below Ill. Rail
road bonds showed firmness for time,
but eventually sagged in sympathy
with stocks. During the early after
noon there was some fractional rally
in spots, but as a whole the market
was distinctly weak and SO continued
all day.
Very dull was the Boston market,
with dealings narrow, and barring the
general softness in prices, little in the
way of feature calls for notice. Chi
cage. Burlington and Quincy and Su-
gar were sold freely. A strong special
ty-almost the only one-was Lamson
Store Service, which rose l, to IL. For
a time United States Mining was a
firm feature, gaining Y, to 251s but
it lost the advance later. It certainly
was steady and showed fine support,
with confidence of its friends appar-
emily increased as to its prospects, both
as a mine and in the stock market.
Utah rose ~, to 46, falling back to
IS; Copper Range was up /, at 40, re-
ceding to 4Sh; Centennial gained rs,
to 421s, with reaction to 411a; Anaconda
was off ?, at 63: Franklin off ]. at 81.
Chicago and North Michigan IS were
y better at 94h, West Michigan IS
holding at 80. Parrot was up x, at 67.

Hungary and Austria equal has stirred up great turmoil in Norway and Sweden. King Oscar has always lived in Sweden. He occupies beautiful place in Stockholm and never goes to Norway if he can help it.
 Once a year he is supposed to spend two weeks there, but even this short visit is omitted on the slightest pretext. The Nor wegians, who have long been discontented, declare that unless King Oscar makes them equal to the Swedes, in this respect they will rise up against him. They want the same rights accorded to Norway as to Sweden. They want the court removed to Christiania and to remain there six months in the year. They want the royal palace rebuilt and refurnished. They want the equal rights accorded to Sweden and now that they have the precedent of Hungary
