THE CLOSING SERMON
In Rev. |. T. Johnson's Series at Ran.
doIph Methodist Church.

Rev. /. r. Johnson preached his closing
sermon at the Randolph NJ T.. church
last evening from Amos iv-lO: Prepare
to meet thy God" Man can see the need
of preparation in everything here. but
continually puts off the needed prepara-
ton to meet his God We send our boys
and girls to school to lay a foundation
for a career later lin life. We demand
learned doctors. lawyers, nurses, mechan-
les, electricians. We do not want to trust
our lives or the lives of our loved ones
to q doctor who has not prepared to dag
nose our case. The better he has prepar-
ed himself, the more willing we are to
trust our lives to him.
If n man Is accused Of some enormous
crime he asks for that lawyer that has
prepared himself to plead 4 criminal case.
We demand a preparation for all earthly
pursuits; why not begin preparation to
meet God? The word teaches us that this
world is the dressing room to secure our
robe of righteousness to meet the King
in His beauty.
My brother. my sister, are you prepared
to meet God? If not, why not begin to
make preparations tonight by giving
yourself to Him? Prepare to meet thy
God BE sure of your advocate to plead
your case at the Judgment bar Of God.
/ am asking you to make preparations
for eternity.

Universal Advance
In Meat Prices.

Washington, March 6.-Meat prices
have advanced in all the principal con-
, suming and producing sections OF the
world, according TO statistics complied
by the department of commerce and
labor. 49,.
The report shows the chief meat ex-
porting countries of the world to be
Australia, New Zealand, Argentina,
Canada and the United States: the
chief meat importing countries the
United Kingdom. Germany and in n
less degree the other European coun-
tries. All of the meat exporting coun-
tries show higher prices per pound In
their exports In recent years than
those of n decade ago. and all the
meat importing countries. show higher
rates in their import figures and tho
current market quotations.
The advance in fresh meat prices
is less than that In sailed and pre-
served meat and in nearly all cases
the advance in beef Is less than that
in pork or mutton. The fact that the
percentage of advance in the price OF
fresh meats. especially those shipped
in the chilled or frozen state, has not
been as great as the advance in sailed
or preserved meats. is said to be due
to reductions made in the last few
years in the cost OF chilling or freez-
ing and transporting meats OF this
class. The advance In mutton is re-
gardcd as due to the comparatively
slow growth in the worlds supply Of
sheep and the consequent advance in
the price Of wool.
Some of the statistics obtained by the
department are as follows:
In Australia, in the case Of beef pre-.
served by cold process, the export price
advanced from 1913 per hundred pounds
in 1899 to $40 in 1908; mutton and lamb
from $3.50 per hundred pounds IN 1899 to
s647 in 1908, an advance of about per
cent. in fresh beef. ana nearly 70 per
cent. in the price OF mutton and lamb.
In New Zealand similar conditions are
shown in the report. while In Argentina
the export price of frozen beef In 1S97-S9
was $i75 per hundred pounds and the
price for 19O0-19O8 x.3s: of frozen mutton
for 1S97-1S99 hts per hundred pounds and
19OO-1SOS $780,
In Canada the value Of fresh beef ex-
ports advanced from an average Of 81
cents per pound In 1893 to So cents in 1900:
that of mutton from 6.1 to 11.2 cents per
pound, and pork advanced from 33 cents
per pound to cents.
Meat exports into the United Kingdom
in the period from 1896 to 1903 SHOW "a.
vances IN nearly every case. the prfnci-
pal exception being fresh beef. OF which
the average price per hundred pounds de-
creased ffom 1921 In 1895 TO 37.ss IN boz
The import price per hundred pounds ,6f
sailed beef advanced from 1913 TO $6db:
preserved, beef from $l1.SS to $3.50: pre-.
served mutton from $7.15 to $i0.37. and
pork from T.57 to 1856 per hundred
pounds. ~

chose as her text Matt xxvii.2o: what
shall do then with Jesus which is called
Christi" After a brief historical state
ment Of the setting of the text and the
weakness and cowardliness of Plate in
surrendering Jesus to Be crucified when
convinced of his innocence, the speaker
said in part: 1.-The question of the text
is the greatest that we shall ever be
called upon to consider. What shall do
with Jesus?' Before we consider it, how
ever, let us see what He has done for u.s.
Just as he took the place OF Barabbas
on Calvary. so He took our place. He
suffered in our stead. He gave His life
for us that we might have eternal life,
and we can never picture the scene on
Calvary with its bleeding, dying victim
without being stirred with Il purpose to
devote ourselves to the service of such
friend. Give your all to Jesus Christ,
o fellow Christian. and He will give back
His all to you
To you, my sinner friend, Jesus Christ
is as the lifeboat sent out for your res
cue, and what will You do with Him
You must do more than admire His char
acter and quote His words 1t is not
enough that you read your Bible and pray
in secret. You must accept Christ and
serve Him. You must confess Him before
men else He will be ashamed to confess
you before the Father and the holy an
gels.
1t is easy to persuade the dying to ac-
cept Him. but we need Him in life and He
is just suited to the need of every indi-
life. What will you do with Jesus to-
day?
In eternity the question will be asked
What shall I do with thee?" o let us
all take Him as our Lord and Savior; let
US love and serve Him here, and in eter-
nifty His well done will reward for ev-
cry cross and burden born for the Mas
ter.
The Sunday school hour was a time
never to be forgotten. Miss Adams gave
brief talk and then asked those who

came forward seeking the Savior
The theme of the evening was Weigh
cd and Wanting" and the subject was
based on the Ten Commandments. The
text was from Daniel VIZ, Thou art
weighed in the balance and found want
ing" Said the speaker: What balances?
The balances of Gods infinite justice as
contained in the Ten Commandments, the
first four relating to our relations to-
ward God and the last six our relation
to our fellow man.
Then followed a very searching sermon
that was listened to with the closest at
tention. At the close of this sermon 9TH
ers started in the Christian life and a
praise and testimony meeting closed this
wonderful day. Services this week will
be held in the audience room at 730 each
evening

all feel confident of making close
fight even il they don't win out.
Whereas a majority was necessary to
carry the caucus plurality only is
needed in the election and for this
reason each candidate is of the Opn-
ion that he stands q better chance OF
winning The candidates are City Mar
shall Frank +. Andrews. Martin Burns
and Walter X. Wakefield, a member
of the night watch. Mr.. Wakefield
has been confined to the house since

votes ut the caucus but did not have
enough to win out by a majority. Mr..
Clary was second. DR.. c. Z. Picker
