TRADING IN BONDS
ISREACT|0NARY
Wider Offerings With Some
Declines Severe-More
Demand For Stocks

New York. December 2.--Business in
bonds on the stock exchange today
evinced further reactionary trend, with
= wider variety of offerings. Declines In
some less conspicuous issues ran from to
Z points and in several bonds, which were
subject to reorganization and readjust-
ment. losses were even more severe.
This condition was offset in part by a
decidedly better inquiry for short term
notes and the more active listed stocks
which in normal times constitute the
great bulk of the daily operations. The
demand for these securities particularly
notes. came from various quarters, the
middle west being prominent in the buy

loans as reported today were natural

cial district derived considerable encour-
agement from the announcement that
hereafter the stock exchange intended to
issue daily actual stock sales as made
through its clearing house., together with

prices. This was generally recognized as
another step toward full and regular re-
sumption. Concurrenty, London cables
stated that the stock exchange there is

treasury officials sanction such action.

Spirit Being. is clearly established by.
st. Pauls narrative of his experiences.
| He explains that 1t was necessary that
the IL apostles should be able to bear
witness to the fact that Jesus had risen
from the dead. There could be no gospel
message of hope Of divine favor through
dead Savior.
If Christ had not risen, who could
ever establish the Messianc KingdomY
Who could give the church a share In
the first resurrection and make them
partakers In His Heavenly glory? If
Christ had not risen, who could call
forth from the tomb the sleeping bill
lions OF the dead. awakening them to
the opportunities of everlasting life
through obedience to the kingdom? All
this the apostle calls forcibly to our
minds. saying. IF Christ be not risen
from the dead, your faith Is vain, and
all who have fallen asleep In Christ have
perished."-1 Corinthians 15:16-1s.
From this we see that st. Paul in
no way shared the views OF those who
unscriptprally claim that Jesus while
dead was really alive; and that the
resurrection of the dead is a mere form
lality, quite unnecessary to the carrying
out Of Gods plan. But the divine teach
Ing is that 'the dead know not any
thing" and that the resurrection of the
dead Is an absolute necessity to any
future life or hope or blessing.
The fact that Christ has risen from
the dead Is a guarantee of Gods power
to raise the dead. Additionally. 1t IL a
guarantee that Jesus accomplished tue
work which He came into the world to
do. 1t proves to us that He must have
kept the divine law perfectly; else He
would not have been worthy of resur-
rection from the dead. 1t proves. adj
ditionally. the value Of His death--the
efficacy of II as the offset OF Father
Adams sin, and thus as the ransom
price for the sins of the world.

afternoon. It II expected quite generally
that the selling by the south of so-called
Christmas" cotton will ease the mar
ket. We may have some decline on this
account. but we think the market will
meet decided increase Of buying from
both investors and consumers.
