The Dawn of Christianity
As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

the Son.
 23. That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father He that honoureth not the Son hon. oureth not the Father. which hath sen him.
 "A. Verify, verify, I say unto you He that heareth my word, and bellev' eth on him that sent me, hath ever lasting life, and shall not come into condemnation but is passed iron death unto life.
 25. Verify, verify, I say unto you The hour is coming, and now is, wher the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shal live.
 26. For as the Father hath life ir himself; so hath he given to the Sor to have life in himself;
 27. And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because ne is the Son of man.
 2S. Marvel not at this: for the houl is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
 29. And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; an dthey that have done evil unto the resurrection of damnatlon.
 30. I can of mine own self do noth- ing: as I hear, 1 judge: and my ]udg- ment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
 31. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
 32. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
 33. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
 .34. But l receive not testimony from man: but these things l say, that ye might be saved.
 8. He was burning and shin- ing light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
 36. But 1 have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish the same works that l do bear wit ness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
 37. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness ol me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
 3S. And ye have not his word abid- ing in you: for whom he hath sent him ye believe not.
 39. Search the scriptures; for ip them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify o1 me.
 40. And ye will not come to me that ye might have life.
 Al. l receive not honour iron men.
 AZ. But know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
 43. For I am come in my Fathers name, and ye receive me not: if an other shall come in his own name him ye will receive.
 A. How can ye believe, which re ceive honour one of another, and seel not the honour that cometh from Goo only?
 45. Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one thai accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
 46. For had ye believed Moses, yt would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

HIGER RATES OF INTEREST.

An unusual incident in the financial world happened the past week, when large block of New York city per cent bonds were offered at par. It was but very fe wyears ago that a bond of this class sold to bring only about 5 1-2 per cent. The fin ancial wiseacres of that recent date predicted that interest rates would be steadily falling. As they saw it, there was such a surplus of loanable capi- tai that soon interest would be about down to the English level, of ? per cent for a government security.
 The rapid ascent of the interest rate falsified these predictions. Even @ year ago, tine manager of large and sound land proposition in Colo rado was offering per cent for money. A few years ago Eastern in- vesors were glad to get sound real estate mortgages in the West for : and 6 per cent. It is doubtful if this company could borrow money for 10 per cent today.
 The low bond prices now prevail ing are Of course due in large meas ure to the war. Yet, even if the war were to close quite soon, interest rates might not fall very much. Half 61 the business men of Europe could not pay their debts without realizing on their securities. Our people must take up tine stocks and bonds, that at the close of the war will flood ou1 market.
 The effect of this change will be far reaching. Municipalities will have to pay much higher rates fo: money. Making public improvements and paying for them in long term bonds will be terribly costly propo- sition. The pay as you go policy will be better than ever. Raiiroac: and public service corporations vii have to offer almost prohibitive inter est rates On enlargements. Either the public will have to pay higher tCharges, Or it will have to conten l itself without the improvements il desires.
 But is is a great day for the maj
 with a dollar to invest.

would do little good to buy cotton from spectators at 10 cents a pound, because that would not take the distress cotton off the market.
 The buy-a-bale movement is gath ering headway, and there are sound reasons for believing that it will es- tablish a minimum basis of 10 cents for middling cotton. It will be only another demonstration of the fact that cooperative effort by the holders oi the raw material can always stabilize prices on reasonable and fair basis, no matter hof unfavOrable conditions are.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING ID
 ST. JOHN.

CHAPTER ,.
 After this there was feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusa- lem.
 2. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a piol, which IS called in the Hebrew tongue Bethes- da, having five porches.
 8. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, with cred, waiting for the moving of the water.
 4. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool and trou- bled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water step- ped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
 D. And certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
 6. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him Wilt thou be made whole?
 z. The impoient man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming another steppeth down before me.
 S. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
 g. And immediately the man was made while, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
 10. The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
 II. He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
 12. Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee. Take up thy bed, and walk?
 13. And he that was healed wist not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, multitude being in that place.
 IA. Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Be- hold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
 15. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
 16. And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
 IT. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto. and l work
 IS. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making him. self equal with God.
 19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them. Verify, verify, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of him. self, but what he seeth the Father do :: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
 20. For the Father loveth the Son and sheweth him al things that him. self doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
 21. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and ouickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will

COTTON REPLACES JUTE.

The Arkansas Brokerage company of this city has received a letter from the Corn Products Refining company of New York announcing that it would substitute cotton for jute in the manufacture of bags. Comment ing on the action, the New York Times says the Corn Products com pany will require 1000 bales annu- ally.
 The president of the concern states that while the cost of cotton bags will be greater than those of jute, he be- lieves cotton will prove more satis- factory, being cleaner and heater and that products will be delivered at their destination in better condition.
 Just few more substitutions oi cotton for foreign material, and there'll be no need to consider sacri- ficing cotton at the present market prices.
 New uses are being found for cot ton every day, and the indications are that the situation brought about by the European war will bring about an increased demand for cotton ant rebound to the eternal benefit of thu South and the United States.
 There'll be need for 15,0O0,O0O bales or more each year, and the greater proportion of the crop will be manu factured in the States.
