GULF PORTS PROSPER
EXPORTS IN SOUTHERN CITIES RAPIDLY INCREASE.
Report Shows Ports Bordering on Gulf Made More Progress Than
 Did Those of Allan
 fic SeabOard.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The exports for the fiscal year 1909 indicates that the trade of the Gulf ports Is increas- Ing more rapidly than the amount of business handled by the Atlantic ports. In the matter of import trade, the Gulf ports also show a very high rate of in- crease. The Mexican border ports seem to share this boom in export and im- port trafic this progress being appar- ently due to the development of the railroads.
 The Gulf ports are the only group Of trade centers showing an increase in exports during the past fiscal year as compared with 1908, the exports from those ports amounting to $410,000,000. an increase of $13,500,000. These hg- ures are given In the statement of the bureau of statistics. summarizing the commerce of the United States in 1909. The gain in the Gulf and Mexican bor- der ports. according to the statement. has been a marked characteristic of the outward commercial flow during the last decade.
 Taking the figures for twenty years back the report shows that the in- crease in exports from the Atlantic ports has been 7s per cent while the increase at the Gulf ports has been 2S0 per cent. The greatest rate of gain was made by the Mexican border ports, at which the increase in outbound com merce was at the rate of 575 per cent.
 A greater per centage of gain in inn ports Is also shown by the Gulf. Mexi- can border and lake ports as compared with the Atlantic ports, at which the increase was at the rate of 77 per cent. The imports at the Gulf ports shows for the past ten years an increase at the rate of 24o per cent and at the Mexican border ports 255 per cent
 The statement declares:
 The principal articles in which the drift seems to be away from the Att lantic ports and toward the Southern and Northern border ports respective ly, are cotton. which has greatly in- creased in the movement through Gall weston and New Orleans and other Southern ports and. in the case of Northern ports, grain, flour and miscel- merchandise"

man than an untutored one; yet Ath- ems needed the gospel as sorely as Corinth or Ephesus.
 The sufficiency of Christ for all classes was Paul's great platform. He had Good News for the slave-girl for tune teller, for the rough Philippian jailer, and>for the rabbie; and it was only the same Good News that won Crispus, the ruler of the Corinthian synagogue, the Dionysius. tue learned Areopagite. and Apollos. the polished Alexandian orator.
 A Hero's Reward.
 Back of all adventure. back of all controversy. back of all travel and teaching and suffering. there looms in grandeur the figure of the human Paul. The man overtops the word and the deed. In all these various experiences he was winning to himself the ai- legiance of devoted friends and lav- ishly pouring out his souls richest treasures of affection. We do not have to look long at him before we see that this man lived a royal life. For him existence was never tame or stale or profitless.
 So the truth emerges that life's sweetest satisfactions are to be found in the pursuit of great and selfless goals. Paul was at no point to be pitied. but ever to be envied. for he was doing a man't work nobly-nay, he was doing Gods work divinely. He found life supremely worth living be- cause he merged his life and his la bors into his Mastry's, crying, For to me to live is Christi"

A big question in modern Japan and in many other places beside, is whether the educated man needs a religion. Is not culture enough?
