Mistaken ideas of the Kingdom

1t seems remarkable that, after all
the Bible has said respecting Messiah's
Kingdom and the work 1t is to accom-
plish in the blessing of Israel and All
the families of earth, so few seem to
believe the Message, to receive ii MS
little children. The majority today, like
the scribes and Pharisees of old are
too wise to believe in the possibility
OF the establishment of Messiahs King
dom. They realize the need of the King
dom, but have certain theories of their
own which blind them to the Truth.
Some mistakenly hold that the King
dom of Christ was set up at Pentecost:
and that He has been reigning ever
since conquering the world. How un-
reasonable! when we know that even
under the most favorable conditions the
heathen double every century, How
strange that Christians have prayed 50
long that Gods Kingdom would come
and rule the world and put down the
wicked and eXalt the obedient until
the Divine will would be fully done on
earth, as Mt is In heaven-and yet
have not really believed that the King
dom which Israel refused is to be es-
tablished at the second coming OF
Jesus and the resurrection of His
church
Another large body of Christian
brethern, Roman Catholics, hold still a
different theory; that Messiah,s thou
Pope Leo III, A ID. 500; and that he has
reigned in the world ever since, fully
and officially represented by the pope.
This view holds that 1t was most nee :.
essary for Jesus to come second time
to establish His Kingdom; but that in
the year 500 A. ID. Jesus established His
followers in kingly power. and made
the pope at Rome His representative
and vice gerent, to reign I'm His stead.
Neither of these views is satisfactory,
and neither Is scriptural. The glorious
gospel of Christ is, Il will come again,
and receive you unto Myself" He de-
clares that His church shall then sit
with Him in His throne. a royal priest
hood.
Well did the apostle warn us not to
depart from the faith once delivered
to the saints" Well did he tell us that
many would depart from that faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits and doe
trines of demons. fI Timothy AID. Our
Golden Text assures us that the
church now being called, to reign in
due time, must be girded with humility
Only the humble will receive the great
gift of the Kingdom honors and oppor-
tunities.

COTTON NERVOUS
AND UNSETTLED
Circulation of January No
tices Causes Considerable
Near Month Liquidation

New York. December SO-The cotton
market was nervous, or unsettled today,
and fluctuations were irregular. The cir
culation of January notices. which were
estimated at about $4,000 bales, caused a
good deal of near month liquidation, and
reports that a chain of department stores
had been placed in the hands of receivers
seemed to create pessimlstic sentiment as
to general trade conditions. At any ra.e,
early rallies were followed by sharp
break during the middle of the day, with
the close steady, on covering, at net
decline of to 7 points on the present
crop. New crop positions were to 3
points net higher.
There appeared to be quite good scat
tering demand at the start, and after
opening steady at a nadvance of points
to a decline of l point, the market sold
about to IL points net higher. December
led this advance on covering by shorts.
while there seemed to be considerable
buying of later positions on a theory that
once January notices were stopped, prices
would do better.
Relatively steady Liverpool cables and
continued talk of bullish ginning returns
probably encouraged the buying move
ment, while there was good demand for
January from spot interests against sales
Of March or later positions at the prevail
Ing differences. The notices, however,
continued to circulate late in the morning,
bringing out considerable scattering liqui-
dation and the disturbing reports from re-
tail trade sources were followed by more
general offerings around midday.
The resulting break carried active
months about Z to 10 points net lower,
with January contracts selling at 11.90c,
or 25 points under the high level of yes
terday. Covering and reports of steady
interior markets checked the decline and
last prices showed moderate rallies on
the active positions The more prominent
SPOT interests We're credited with selling
May and July against their heavy pur-
chases of January, and on the midday
break January sold Ss points under March.

HOLIDAY FEELING IN
THE COTTON MARKET
Early Active Trading Fol-
lowed by Liquidation and
Downward Prices

New Orleans. December 3o.-While the
cotton market was active in the early
trading a holiday feeling developed later
and the market closed within less than )
points of yesterdays last prices
In the morning session the January po-
sition was the main feature Of the mar
ket. Attention was eentered on the New
York market and events there influenced
the course of prices on the local mar
ket. Reports by wire indicated that, as
expected, notices for the delivery of $1,000
bales on January contracts were issued.
The opening was steady. unchanged to
points up. Around the call the ad-
vance was widened to to points on
the report that notices in New York were
being stopped quickly and that those who
had issued notices were buying January
Buying by local traders was heavy for
awhile on the belief that the New York
stock was passing into new hands
There were many rumors during the
morning regarding January operations
but liquidation finally set in and started
prices downward. A supporting feature
was the report that some Alabama mills
were asking for samples and prices on
low grade and stained cotton Reports
of large failures in the north. however.
were most disturbing to holders of long
contracts and selling continued until the
trading months were to II points under
yesterdays last quotations. The tone was
dull but steady In the afternoon, with
holiday feeling prevailing. The close
was steady, with prices unchanged to 4
points down. compared with the close of
yesterday.

DIuUAo ADVANCE
TREND RESUMED
Movement Utilized for I'm
loading of Realizing
! Sales

| New York, December 30-Advanees in
1.-THE stock trend was resumed for a time
today Leading shares were marked up
l to , points. The movement lacked the
power of last weeks rise and the D
mand did not sustain prices at the higher
range
Dealings on the long side were not ag-
gressive, and it was apparent that the
advance was being utilized for further
unloading of realizing sales.
Gradually the market settled back until
the effects of the early rise had disap-
peared and speculative favorites showed
losses on the session.
There was little incentive to fresh ef
59rts on the constructive side. The re-
cent advance failed to stimulate public
buying on a large scale and at the same
time 1t weakened the markets position
by driving the shorts.
Announcement of the appointment of re-
oeivers for certain stores and interests
of the Seigel Stores corporation appareni-
ly had little effect at the moment but
1t was influential in bringing on the slow
reactionary movement of the afternoon
session.
The trade had to contend also with the
effects of further foreign selling, due to
unfavorable conditions in the investment
markets of Europe and the year end sell
Elements.
London sold about 10000 shares here
Union Pacific's November showing of q
decrease in operating income of s453,ooe
was in line with unavoidable reports of
other large systems.
Canadian Pacific also reported a gain
in net of $63O.OO0 and that stock responded
temporarily with an upturn.

3 Adelina Patti
The Queen of Singers

There was q time, and it is not en-
tirely passed. when to mention prima
donnas you would instantly think nf
Adelina Patti. She was born in Madrid.
Spain, and her parents were operatic
singers of Italian ancestry. She first
sang at an early age in New York, but
her fame was secure after her first ap-
pearance In London, and from that time
she held high rank as one of the first
singers of the day The rich, bell-like
quality of her voice and. remarkable
evenness of tone had a range as a high
soprano never surpassed. and her ca
denzas and trills were the delight Of
her admirers. Equally at home in tragic
tenderness of grand opera, or vivacity
of comedy, or stateliness of oratorio,
Adelina Patti will owe much of her
fame to the way and manner in which
she sang "Comin' Thro' the Rye" al
though her greatest success was Mar
guerfte" in Gounod's Faust" Year aft
er year she continued to make fare
well tours in America, and year after
year she sang the sweet Scotch ballads
with all the fervor of Latin blood. She
lived in a castle in Wales in the ma
ture years, where she delighted to sing
for friends, and on special occasions
for charity. The divine Patti never un-
derestimated the value of the songs
that touched the heart. The Last Rose
of Summer" is song that will always
be identified with Patti.
Comm Thro' the Rye" and when
to Thy Vision" from Gounod's Faust"
both are to be found In Heart Songs"
the book being offered to the readers
OF this parer, at cost of distribution and
six coupons. THE Last Rose of Sum-
mer" Is to be found on page 146 of the
volume. and Is only one of the many
of Patti that render the book
a possession that should be one Of the
treasures to be found In every home.

CANADIAN RUMOR
AFFECTS WHEAT.
Proposed Duty Abolition
DiscOurages Effort to
Raise Prices

Chicago, December 30.-Renewed asser-
tions that tfe Canadian Parliament would
like to abolish within a month the duty
against wheat had a discouraging effect
tcday on efforts to life prices here.
The market closed easy, lsahc under
last night.
Other net losses were: Corn, 1aq5sc to
1c; oats, Aa9sc, and provisions 5a711e.
Canadian tariff reports seemed to have
more authority than heretofore being
veuehed for by one of the leading con-
Germs in the Chicago wheat trade.
simultaneously it was discovered that
seaboard had been reduced. A. setback
in flGal quotations from Liverpool count
ell also against the bulls, not much heed
being given to dispatches saying the
break was due to the acceptance of car
goes which it had been generally thought
would be rejected.
Some firmness which developed in
wheat soon after the opening turned out
to be only of transient character. The
market made no lasting response to the
cutting down of English estimates on the
Argentina surplus or 20 figures showing
that farm reserves in Nebraska and Kan
sas are decidedly small and that the
worlds available supply had fallen off
Notwithstanding that corn at first
showed a sudden bulge. the result Of
shorts finding that offers were scarce,
til, market afterward gave way under
heavy sales induced by The advance.
Large deliveries are expectd tomorrow.
Mild weather also was influential in caus-
irg the late weakness.
Realizing on the part of longs pulled
down oats. At the extreme decline also
commission house buying was fair in
SIG.
Provisions went lower, chiefly because
of lard and ribs being freely unloaded.
This was done by a western packer. Yes
tcrCiay he had furnished support for
price.
Downward impetus cane also from the
fact that hog supplies were larger than
usual.
