Industrial Expansion

NEW YORK. April 21.-Dun's review of
trade tomorrow will say: Erratic weather
has tended to make trade reports somewhat
irregular, but on the whole the weeks re-
suits We're Satisfactory
Early delays were followed by activity
particularly in what might be termed Easter
times. 1t is noteworthy that much business
Tor fall delivery has appeared, and more
supplementary spring and summer contracts
are being placed than iobbers anticipated.
Mercantile payments are also increasingly
prompt
Industrial activity expands. iron furnaces
ana steel mills maintain their good record
textile plants securing larger orders, and
1ootWear manufacturers able to hold
full prices without curtaing operations.
Labor controversies are few and cause lit
tie inconvenience while immigration for the
last week will be more than double that
OF the corresponding week in 1904.
Transporting interests are able to handle
the increased business with little congestion
railway earnings thus far reported for
April exceeding last years by 1O.2 per cent.
Foreign commerce at this port for the last
week showed a gain of $2069,S61 in value
of merchandise exported and imports were
s3,4l6,922 larger than in the same week of
1904.
The jobbing trade at Salt Lake City is
normal for the city and somewhat better
than Il year ago.
San Francisco real estate is active, build
ing contracts large and money abundant.
Packer hides are strong and active For
eign dry hides are unchanged.
Failures this week number 200 in the
United States against PAL last year, and II
in Canada, compared with II year ago.

"a AM DEBTOR TO THE JEW"

Rev. Peter A. Simpkin preached a
most excellent sermon last Sunday
morning in Philips Congregational
church on What Society Owes the
Jews" The discourse was called out
by the horrible massacres and I'M
speakable cruelties which the barbar-
GUS Russians have inflicted upon the
Jew" The discourse was called out
handled by Mr.. Simpkin in an earnest
and feeling manner, and was pune
tured by frequent outbursts of right
eous Indignation against those who
perpetrated the atrocities. He briefly
told of few of the many debts of
gratitude which the world in general
and civilization in particular owes to
the Jew from the time of Moses down
to the present day, and with indigna-
ton referred to the cruel prosecutions
they had endured at the hands of So
called Christians. From a literary
standpoint, Mr.. Simpkin's address was
a gen. 1t showed great erudition and
a familiarity with the history of the
world. The address was published in
extenso in the morning papers of last
Monday, and it would therefore be
repetition for Truth to reproduce it;
otherwise this paper would have been
pleased to have printed it in full.

your article of Nov. 25th you say:
''The Christian Scientists deny the re-
ality of sin as strenuously as they do
the reality of sickness. They say it
is false belief, an error of mortal
mind. Their theory may be thrown
into the following syllogism: God did
not create nor does He know evil sin
and sickness are evil, therefore God
did not create them and they have no
reality" AS we discussed this sub
ject thoroughly several weeks ago in
your paper we think 1t unnecessary
to reiterate those statements. Jesus
said Overcome evil with good" Sci
entists believe that both sin and sick
ness are real in human experience I'M
til overcome in the understanding of
divine law. Scientists are very busily
engaged in reducing sin and sickness
to nothing in their lives and are find
