CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR TOPIC
For March =. Lessons From the Ser
mon on the Mount, what Christ
Teaches About Judging Others.
Matt. vii, Is.
BY AMOS r. WELLS.


Nearly all discoveries, from Columbus
down, belong to natures noblemen- They
have the courage to press aeross unk now
cal Jungle. They have patience Tor long
searches among the innumerabie stars to
hit upon a new asteroid or comet. or among
the rocks and flowers beneath their feet to
hit upon a new plant or fossil. They have
the persevering insight that pierces through
secret of chemistry or physics. Even the
gold-hunter. In his wild-eyed, logged hunt
among the Businesses Of the mountains has
something grand about him.
But the fault-fnders! those that go 70
and down the world peering into the lives
Of men. to spy out. not their nobility. but
ugliness! They are discoveries that rank

he sees Titians: missionary, he sees the
slums and their possibilities; a miser, he
sees the stock exchanges. So in your life
Journey; II you are a Pathfinder the world
Is full OF faults for you to find, and you
will find nothing else.
The most divine thing on earth-what is
u! IL is mothers love for her erring boy.
II is the most divine because il is nearest
Christ. She knows his faults alas, too well;
put she shuts her eyes to them. she tries
TO forget them, she believes in him in spite
OF them: and If anything will save a man

Sometlmes too-have you ever thought
OF it!-what we call fault is part of the
makeup Of friend, so intimately inter
would be to destroy his identity for us. He
Is impetuous, yes; but that is part of his
warm heartedness. He is quick-tempered,
yes; but that goes with his honesty and
frankness; The French phrase the defect
or a quality" expresses a truth that all
iault-nnoeTs VIII DO well TO remember.
some clever girls can take an old dress
and by half a days turning and cleaning
can make 1t as good as new. Some clever
boys can take old sofa and with the
AID OF a few yards of cloth and some brass
headed nails present to the household q
brand-new piece of furniture. And there
are others, still more clever, that can make
the best of people! They not only see
their best, but they get others to see II;
they bring 1t out in conversation, they de-
yelop II by their loving sunshine.
To be sure, We must pass Judgment upon
others, in a way. We must see their faults
or We cannot help them out of them We
must rightly estimate character or we can
not live justly and prosperously.
But there's a difference between fault
seeing and fault-f1nding-oh, all the differ
ence in the WORLD

the safe passing Of what has been con-
sidered a danger point in money af-
fairs, and confidence is general that
the normal relaxation in money rates
will follow the turn of the year.
Current reports of railroad earnings
also show a larger ratio in increase
in gross earnings, raising the hope
of an improved showing in net returns.
The yearly reviews now appearing of
the closing years extraordinary pros
perity had a strong sentimental eff
feet on Speculation, and the govern
ments estimates of the very large
cereal crops gave substantial ground
for hopeful feeling over the future.
OF the days special developments the
maintnance of the per cent. dividend
on Delaware and Hudson stock was a
reassuring factor, especially in the
case of the coalers. That group, how
ever, was affected by realizing. The
rise in the price Of copper had gener-
ally favorable effect besides it's special
influence on Amalgamated. The state
railroad commissions intimation that
1t had plan for improving the hand
ling of the congested traffic on the To-
cal street railways induced heavy spec
ulation In Manhattan. Brooklyn Transit
was held back on account of the pre-
jury condemning it's car service.
A number of recent fiotations which
have been practically dormant owing
to the tight money market were vigor-
ously advanced. Examples were United
States Realty and American Steel
Foundries and on the curb Internation-
al Marine (when issued.)
The money market continued stiff
to-day, but eased off in the late trans
actions. The trust companies con-
tinued to caIl loans and the forces of
depletion of bank reserves seemed to
be still at work, but all such consid-
erations were ignored in the almost
exultant confidence expressed by stock
operators that the turn of the year
will see the end Of their money trou-
bles.
The bond market was broad and ac-
tive and made general advances. Total
sales par value 1884 900. United States
bonds were all unchanged on the last

u points on the day. The anticipa-
ton of a continuance of light receipts
during January coupled to the bullish
weekly statistics which will be issued
on Friday and the expectation that
spinners will become free buyers then,
have all tended to accentuate the ex-
tremely favorable opinion existing.
There are no evidences of any decided
increase in the movement being realized
in the near future and as a very bull
lish census estimate is looked for on
Jan. 5, the chances are values may en-
nance further unless checked by a de-
cided increase in receipts. We wish
you all happy and prosperous New
Year"

The Morning News Office,
Wednesday, Dec. 81.
From both a local and general stand
point the markets closed hard against
the end of the year. Prices established
in the different MARKETS. the last day of
the old year go over to the new as a
fit beginning for further operations, in
view Of the good conditions that now
prevail.
The New York cotton market closed
active to-day,and now showing gain of
so points from the lowest of this sea-
son. The advance has been going on
for sometime, and it was continued to-
day by rise of from to 10 points at
New York. The advance has been pre-
dicted upon the statistical position.
decreased in supplies by the liberal
takings of spinners, and the belief.
which is now supported by the recent
movement, that interior stocks are
steadily decreasing. and that in many
localities they are much less than they
were last year.
Buying for both speculative and in
Vestment account has been going on
to-day. with both New York and Phil
adelphia parties leading. The New
York advance was in the face of a de-
cline at Liverpool of 3 to points
though the latter market partially re-
covered it's loss. There was also a
good feeling at New Orleans. which
closed 9 to II points higher.
To many of the trade the season Sc
far has been a thoroughly satisfactory
one from the standpoint of holder and
consumer alike. The crop has been
marketed with considerable freedom
and with the full prices paid and the
light carrying charges owing to
promptness in marketing, the profits
have been the more. From the opening
of the season prices have been suf-
ficient to uncover considerable cotton
from all sections in the South Atlantic
from which much of the cotton is ex-
ported through Savannah.
The naval stores markets closed firm
with the demand good for both spirits
and rosins. Turpentine closed firm al
521ac, with the demand good. Resins
closed firm and unchanged. The whole
sale markets closed steady and in the
main unchanged. This is between sea.
sons, and no great activity is looked
for in the wholesale markets until the
opening of the spring season. Resume

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. 31.-Our market
opened with sales of January at S.67c,
S.69c, S7Oc, and after selling at SHE
ruled at S.64c at l p. m. European ad-
vices are more favorable than antici-
pated and with the feeling as bullish as
it is on the strong statistical position
an advance is expected by nearly
everyone in the trade. No bearish
views are heard on any side. This is a
technical weakness as when the buying
ceases the market quickly sells off.
Liquidation in January continues on
small scale with commission houses
advising their customers to close trans
actions in that position as they con-
slider them dangerous on either side.
We find at the close of the year the
trade generally committed to the bull
side which, unless the movement in
creases, should bring higher prices at
ter the new year. The close was firm
at the best prices with the trade assist
ing the advance and expecting a de-
cided advance in Europe on Friday.
The spot market was quiet and un-
changed.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Dec. 31.-The year closed
on the stock exchange with a very
hopeful and confident sentiment pre-
dominating. During the first two hours
of business the aggregate sales reach
ed a larger figure than in any similar
period for many months.
The taking of profits on the two
days rise made considerable impress
sion upon prices during the final hour,
so that some conspicuous stocks lost
all Of their early gains. The great
central factor in the days market was
