Let me give you these three watch
words for this year: Organize yitalize.
Evangelize.
We are only half organized in our
church work-that is. we are organized
In slipshod way God can use an
organization in the religious world.
The difference between mollusk
and man is matter of organization
very largely.
Giving every one something to do
Is the ideal of Christian Endeavor.
The very worst mistake is never to
attempt anything for the Lord. Better
attempt and bungle In 1t ever SO badly
than never TO attempt at all
There are new fields to conquer, new
victories to win. more young people
whom we can win. New generations
are constantly coming forward. Are
you looking after them? Are you reach

Topic.-Huw the worlds standards con-
hict with Christ s--Matt. v, 43-4S; John
II. l5-1T
That there is d difference between the
standards Of the world and Of Christ
cannot be denied The world in This
sense is of course the earnal world. the
hearts and lives of unregenerate men.
the world of false business principles
and standards. the world of sinful
pleasure, the word Of selfshness and
of sin. Christ recognized the difference
referred to. and He and the apostles
laid emphasis upon the fact that
Christs people were to come out from
the world and be separate from it. moi
conformed to It, but transformed by
the Spirit Of God.
The beatitudes of Christ are an Illus
tration of the difference between the
standards Of Christ and those Of the
world. Christ said. blessed are tho
poor the world says. Blessed are
the rich" Christ said, blessed ART
they that MOURN" the world says
BLESSED are they who are free from
affection and mourning" Christ said
BLESSED are the meek" the world
BLESSED are the strong and aggres
sive" Christ. Blessed are they that
hunger and thirst" the world, blessed
are they that have plenty TO eat and
drink" Who can read these beGtitudes
Of Christ. who can understand the
Christ spirit and the world spirit and
mot be convinced that they are as far
apart as the east from the west? Christ
was in the world. but not of the world.
and so His disciples, though in the
world, should not be of it.
But since the standards OF the world
and Christ differ, how do they dilferi
They differ in their very spirit and
foundations, which determine their ex.
ternal character. The difference is in
fsrnal and then external Christ's
Kingdom Is founded upon love, unself
ish, self denying love; the world king
dom upon selfishness, retaliation and
hate. The world says: Love those who
love you. Hate those who hate you.
Nistreat those who mistreat YOU" Its
hw is that of retaliation and its rule
do unto others as they do unto you"
How different the standards of Christ
Love your enemies. bless them that
curse you. do good TO them that hate
you and pray for them that despteful-
y use you and prosecute" Why?
That we may be like God. who blesses
the Just and the unjust alike. But is
the standard a possible one? Can we
give love for enmity, blessings for
curses, goodness for hate and prayers
for mistreatment? II seems incredible,
and yet by the grace of God it is posi-
Die, and for that grace we should pray
and labor If 1t is not already ours. An
unloving. selfish. retaliating professor
Of Christianity is one of the most pitt
able objects in life and a stumbling
block In the way Of others. Let us
shun the world standard and cultivate
the Christ standard. Love not the
world, neither the things that are in
the world. - for fhe world passeth
away and the lust thereof. but he that
doeth the will of God abideth forever"

any better condition of prices. In fact,
there was but little change in condi-

dropped down as low as 8. SO, the low
est point reached in months. Spot cot.
ton sold around the nine cents point,
fancy grades bringing a fraction better.
Bsarish talk is still heard about the
warehouses; as the result of the recent
slump, and while cotton men here do
not believe in the probability of 12,-
100000 bale crop, or anything much
over II, 500, COO, they are somewhat in
clined to the belief that prices will re-
main about the present level at least
until this idea of a bumper crop Is dis
