eoes Into Spiritual Purposes.


 Dr. Egbert Smith made a very oppor- tune minister's talk on the subject, leav- ing out the lawyers discussion of con stitutlonality and going Into the spiritual purpose and advantages of the articles. He did not know why he was selected to speak except that he represented the greatest connection in the world, the large family of Smiths. "Out of heart full of love for the Presbyterian church mean to give you my convictions. In the first place l favor the adoption of the articles because 1 believe they will help for greater usefulness In Christs king dom.
 ''The Presbyterian alliance is an ex- ample of the power of these councils. and [ wish that this council shall do just IS much for the home field as the alliance does for the foreign field.
 But that is not the greatest reason. The movement aims at getting closer to- gether the children of Christ. It is in line with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as given in the word of God. Every where, in the distant lands and at home. we all want to get together in the bonds of Christ, for we are uniting in these great movements, in theological work, and over it all is the providential leader ship of Gods spirit.
 About the Constitutionality.
 "The first argument against the articles is unconstitutionality. You have heard three able lawyers on that subject who were not of one mind, and where eni- nent lawyers disagree what can a poor, ignorant preacher do? But I want to take a little rock out of the brook of history In my practical work in the synod of North Carolina. in synodical dis cussons, I have found the same argu- ments that the opposition is advancing here, and in all my observation find that they are always brought forward to op- pose the great forward movements in Chrst's kingdom.
 "The' second argument against the ar- ticles is that from suspicion or distrust. of the northern Presbyterian church. Their stand upon the creed of Presby- terianism best expresses my views. When the question of changing the confession of faith was being discussed, everyone of the northern Presbyteries overturned tho assembly to make no changes which would impair the creed of the church. and I believe they were sincere. [ have been with them in much of my ministry.

DAYS.

DAYS.
New York, June 10.-Prices of cot
ton for delivery in July made another
upward jump on the opening Of the
New York Cotton Exchange and with
in half an hour advanced $3.50 bale,
This placed the price Of the July OPP
ton 1915 bale higher than the low
price of the previous morning. The
trading, which carried the July cotton
to 1925 cents pound early in the
day, was very active and excited and
THE price was sent soaring at the rate
of 3 or 5 points for each sale record
ed. Rumors that group Of English
and American interests have cornered
the July option caused most Of the
activity. Trading in the options of
later months was easy, at slight ad-
vances.
After the early advance the cotton
market became quiet and the July OPP
ton lost most of its gain under profit
taking by short interests, the price
receding to ~ cents pound. The
market closed firm at a net advance
of 2 to points. Sales were estimated
at 100000 bales, -.
