previous to the time OF the Perean

AS an indication Of the company who
travelled with Jesus and his disciples.
and who provided for his needs. We
must remember that Jesus was not
supported by a board, church, nor by
some philanthropically inclined fellow
citizen. 1t is TO the second two sec
tions therefore that we devote our
chief attention.
Different cissseV.
| I. Those who would follow Jesus,
9:57-62. Read carefully Matt. S:19-22.
Three different classes are here repre-
scented: "a The impnlsive follower
". 81. So. This is the man who is
moved by a sudden desire to accom-
pany this marvellous Teacher, but like
the man in the parable. does not sit
down and count the cost ere he starts
to build his house. This thought is
emphasized when we read Matt. S:19)
that this man was scribe, one who
would not be expected to make such
q resolve. He must have been deeply
stirred by what he had seen and heard
In the life of Jesus. Such a resolve
promised well, but it is soon revealed
to him that he did not realize what
was involved in his promise ". So.
Jesus showed the man that to go
"whithersoever" with him means to
share his experiences, his fare, his
quarters, and to receive the same
treatment he received. 2 Tim. 3:12. II
is a mistake to tell folk that the road
Of righteousness is a primrose path.
The road Of disobedience is a rough
one, as the man who went to Jericho
found, still the road Of righteousness
is a narrow one, Matt. 1913, IA. Every
follower Of Jesus must be willing to
take what he took. and to receive
what he received, John 1920; l Pet.
1921.
This sentence ". So has done
more to give us a comprehension OF
the earthly surroundings Of our Lord
than any other in the gospels, Cor.

man, he simply showed him what was
involved. This man, however, Jesus
invited to a place as disciple-learner.
That he was willing to accept is evi,
dent, only he was not yet quite ready
Il will, but" 1t is not at all proba'
BILE that this mans father was await
ing burial; had his father but Just
died, and awaiting burial, Jesus wolld
not have prevented. Rather he was
indicating a father about to die and
that ne would follow after his father
death. Hence the sharp words of the
Master, Let the dead bury the dead
A proper duty, q sacred duty, but not
so proper nor SO sacred as to have pre-
cedence over the claims of Jesus, Matt
6:33: 1887.

Ever Ready to Serve.

II. Those WHO did follow Jesus
10:3s-42. We now turn to consider
this little company who were ever
ready to serve our Master. From '. So
we know that not every home was
open to receive Jesus as was this one
in Bethany. Eohn 1l:1. Though this
was Martha's home G0:SS), and there
fore she felt the burden of hospitality
yet she did rot hear the word as did
her sister Mary, Mark 4:19. Martha
was occupied with duty and Mary
with Jesus. Martha was occupied with
many things, Mary was occupied with
the "one thing needful." The result
was that Martha was distracted

but the one thing needful is, first OF
all, to learn OF him. Martha's love
prompted the service, but there was
doubtless much pride that accompa-

:. New York, December 8.-(Special.) Jon
 Thursday evening of next week the Rail- way Business Association of tho United
 States will meet at it's sixth annual dinner in . dining room of one of the large hotels of this city. The association meets this year while peculiar and unexpected con- dftions created late in the summer are slowly but surely being overcome. The 1t necessary to make good profession of keeping up courage and maintaining hope.
 notwithstanding the fact that the nation wide business which 1t represents was in . condition far from encouraging. The association Is perhaps the organization in the United States best qualified by expe- rience to speak with authority respecting the situation in the world of railway transportation. Yet the members of the association are not railroad men. They are manufacturers whose output for the mort part finds its market with the rail- roads of the United States. They are manufacturers of railway equipment.
 Some of them are contractors for rail- road construction. They were brought intosa national organization seven years ago for the purpose of establishing cor dial relations and satisfactory co-opera- ton between the public and the,railroads.
 Many ofsthe members of this association
 are qualified to serve as competent wit nesses before the interstate commerce

transactions in stocks also served to stimulate confidence.
 There was an increased inquiry for almost all classes of short term notes. The $o,oooooo Swedish government loan taken by a financial syndicate gave ev- cry promise of success, an attractive fea- ture being the high interest yield. There were rumors of further loans by our bankers to foreign governments but these lacked confirmation.
 Money for the shorter dates was ob- tainable at lower rates and call loans went down to S1s per cent The local flow or money indicated that clearing house institutions have lost considerable sum 10 the subtreasury owing largely to the heavy payments of special revenue taxes and further retirement of emergency cur rehey, Exchange on London was dull and slightly easier. but reichmarks continued strong The Bank of England made an indifferent weekly exhibit showing a loss of s4ooo,000 gold.

board or the railway commissions of the states to explain why 1t is that when the railways are cramped for money, are en- forcing economy to the utmost limit of safety, the manufacturers of railway sup plies and equipments are the first to feel, from business point of view, the effect of these enforced economies and embar- goes upon fresh capital The association as whole represents the entire United States. In normal times it employs sev- eral hundred thousand skilled worlSmen, it's pay rolls aggregate in a year many million dollars and the prosperity of many communities is in considerable measure dependent upon the activities of the man. ufacturing establishments which the mem- bers of this association represent.
 As a body, the association has been warmly in favor of the increase in freight rates which the managers of the eastern railways have asked the interstate com merce commission to permit. There have been some detailed statistics collected which show how greatly the increase in railroad rates would stimulate activity in the manufactories operated by members of this association. At the annual dinner of this association In other years ad- dresses have been made by men of high achievement which have served to infiu- euco pupuC OplniOn, TOT tuebe duOTeSseS have always been dignifled, never severe ly critical, but packed with information which has made 1t possible for the public to gain knowledge upon which to base reasonable opinion. There Is no doubt that 1t is in part due to the educating in- fluence exerted by members of this as- sociation that the people of Missouri were enabled to form such judgment as re- suited in an overwhelming vote against the so-called 'full-crew'' law.
 It has always been the purpose of George. A. Post. president of the associa- ton, who was formerly member of Con- gress from Pennsylvania. with the dis tincuon of being the youngest member of that body when he served, to persuade men of national repute to deliver the ad- dresses at this annual dinner. This year MT. Post has persuaded Fairfax Harri- son, who is now president of the South ern Railway company. and Warren G.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

New York. December 3-Numerous fa- vorable developments impartod greater cheerfulness to the general financial sit uation today. Trading in bonds was broader and larger in the aggregate than at any time since the recent resump- tion and greater firmness was shown by the moro seasoned issues. It was plain. however, that the line was being more closely drawn between speculative and investment bonds, the latter being in greater favor.
 Declines in some of the obscure bonds were again severe, ranging from 21s to almost points. The more substantial advances included Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Railway Is and 6s, New Haven 6s, New York Railway Adjust ment 5s and New York, Westchester and Boston 4izs, the latter recovering sis points of their spectacular decline of the midyear.

Thus, there are HOO pounds of cured meat on hand which has cost only a frac- ton of over 10 csnts per pound, the sur plus of which can be sold for 20 cents per pound. Under the circumstances can a man afford to pay 20 cents per pound or more for side meat and ham?
 Tn these suggestions an outline for pig raising is submitted which will require the farmer to spend as little money as possible. The grain and the pasture are raised on the farm. He can kill the hogs and cure the meat himself. and therefore the only direct money outlay required after the hogs are bought is for seed and implements for cultivation and killing and possibly a small amount needed for fencing.

 Expensive Houses Not Necessary
 {. Expensive houses are not necessary for hogs in the south. Give the SOW dry place to farrow, a pen we'll bedded and sheltered from cold winds and storms, and both she and the pigs will do well. Little pigs that get chilled or wet soon after birth often die or grow into 'runts." If there is no suitable place around the farm for the SOW, make a lean-to with poles. about 10x12 feet, feet high in front and 4 feet high behind, facing 1t to the south. and thatch it with straw, cheap hay, or even cornstalks. and the litter will be well housed. Make the thatch roof higher in the middle than at the sides and smooth 1t down that rain will run off, Pigs should have shade in the pas ture. either trees or artificial shelter, and plenty of water.
 Two sows should raise i've pigs each, giving the farmer 10 pigs to slaughter These pigs should weigh, when slaugh- tered 200 pounds each, making 2000 pounds of live weight, This costs about 31t cents per pound to make in the south under the system described above which Is an orig inal cost of $70. Killing will cost not over s6 The loss in dressing Is about 30 per cent of the live weight, or 600 pounds on 10 pigs. so that 1400 pounds of dressed pork is on hand after slaughterng. If you can get a local ice plant to chill and cure the meat for you, the manager should charge not over cents per pound which Is $56. Then the meat loss weight in curing. amounting to about 1 cent per pound. or sl4. The total cost of the meat is about as follows:
