The Gospel According to
 ST. LUKE.
CHAPTER 17.

CHAPTER 17. Then said he unto the disciples, l is impossible but that offences vii come: but woe unto him, througl whom they come. 2. It were better for him that millstone were hanged about hi neck, and he cast into the sea, thar that he should offend one of these lit tie ones.
 8. Take heed to yourselves: | thy brother trespass against thee, re- buke him. and if he repent, forglv, him. Y
 4. And if he trespass against thee seven times in day turn agaln tt thee, 1 repent; thou shalt forgive him
 ). And the disciples said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
 G., And the Lord said, If ye had faith as grain of mustard seed, yt might say unto this sycamine tree Be thou plucked up by the root, anad be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
 z. But which of you. having a ser want blowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
 8. And will not rather say unto him. Make ready wherewith l may sup, and gird myself, and serve me- till I have eaten and drunken and afterward thou shalt cat and drink?
 9. Doth he thank that servant be- oo1co bo did tho fhipOc that Wprn commanded him? 1 trow not.
 10. So likewise ye, when vac shah have done all those things which were commanded you, say, We are unprof- itable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
 II. And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
 12. And as he entered into a cer- tain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
 13. And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
 14. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
 15. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God
 16. And fell down on his face al his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
 IT, And JesauS answering said Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

INE BLUFF - ROGRESS ROSPERITY
WINNING FOR THE SOUTH.

Pine Bluff people are giving en'nu- sastic support to the "buy-a-bale' movement and there is now every in dication that several thousand bales will be purchased and retired from the market through the local agita- ton resulting in the formation of the Pine Bluff "Buy-a-Bale" club, the prompt and loyal response of patri- ottic women and the disgnation of Tuesday as "Buy-a-Bale" Day in Pine Bluff.
 The selection for one day for a whirlwind campaign in behalf of the South was due to tho numerous calls being made, upon the "Buy-a-Bale" club by farmers who must sell at least ono or two bales of cotton. Those who desire to aid, however, need not wait until Tuesday. They might buy now.
 It's like Dr. c. c. Cline said at the Christian church Sunday night, while referring to President Wilson's pro- lamation designating october 1 as a day for Americans to pray for peace in Europe. Dr. Cline urged
 Nothing but a disaster to the South could stop this "Buy-a-Bale'' movement now" asserts the Atlanta Journal. "lt won't pause to watch developments in Europe. What it is doing does not depend on the outcome there. It depends on us, every one of us. We're looking to the present, of course; but we must keep an eye on the future-and the end of the war does not mean tine immediate restora- tion of peace conditions. the immedi- ate whirl of mills. There's got to be an interval of recuperation."
 The "buy-a-bale" movement is hav- ing its effect on the market. Ask any cotton man who isn't trying to bear" the market; ask the bankers. Read this dispatch from New Orleans to the press of the country by the As sOciated Press:
 "A determined holding movement and few offers of distressed cotton were reported by cotton buyers here during the past week. With this con dition came a better demand and steadier prices for spot cotton. In the eastern belt, where some markets are quoting spots, rises of 1-16 to Is cent were noted from day to day.
 "The 'Bya-bale' movement spread this week to all parts of the cotton region. and it was generally consider the firmness of farmers"

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

IS. There are not found that re- turned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
 19. And he said unto him, Arise go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
 20. And when he was demanded ol the Pharisees, when the kingdom ol God should come, he answered then and said The kingdom of God comctf not with observation: 21. Neither shall they say Lo here. or To there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
 22 And he said unto the disciples the days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
 23. And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
 24. For as the lightning, that light eneth out of the one part under heav- en, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. ~-/
 9. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this genera tion.
 26. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son Of man.
 27. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe en- tered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
 2S. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, the sold, they planted, they builded;
 29. But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brim- stone from heaven, and destroyed them all. .a yif
 30. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed
 3l. In that day, he which shall be upon the house top, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
 32. Remember Lots wife,
 33. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosocver shall lose his life shall preserve it.
 34. And 1 tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left
 35. Two women shall be grnuing together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
 36. Two men shall be in the field the one shall be taken, and the other left.
 37. And they answered and said un- to him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the bcdy is, thithcr will the eagles be gathered together.

Before you declare the "buy-a- bale' movement will not help, consider the company; the purchase of 10000 bales by mail order house; the taking of from fifty to 300 bales by numerous firmes in ether lines; the orders for cotton coming in from individuals ill the North, East and West; the new uses to which cotton will be put, and the purchase of cotton by Southerners who never before bought cotton. Would these things have happened but for the wave of patriotic senti- ment sweeping over the country and giving impetus by the "buy-a-b bale" plan.

New Revolution!

Laredo, Texas, Sept. 1S.-Reports Of a new revolution growing along the Mexican border gained strength to- d3y when it was discovered that at least three former colonels of the Mexican army and minor officials were here, probably for junta.
 Washington, Sept. 1S.-An appeal for the protection of from 300 to 400 nuns and monks at Vera Cruz was made today and the white house. the war and state departments. Bishop Conley of Los Angeles took the ap- peal to the state department and the Rev. l.. J.. O'Hearney of the Catholic church took to the white house eablegram from Chaplain Francis P. Joyce, who is with General Funston's army.
 The nuns and monks regard thcm- selves ill great danger if the Ameri- can troops are withdrawn and they want the United States to take them to Galveston.
 This and other information which has come to the administration makes it certain that the troops Will not be withdrawn as quickly as was at first proposed. General Funston has ask ed that the time be extended and his request probably will be granted The action to be taken depends upon the president. av1'N
 The white house received a mes sage today from General Villa in which he says he has received with pleasure and great satisfaction the information that the American forces now stationed at Vera Cruz will short ly leave the port"

If The Graphic seems to have let up little in urging the "buy-a bale'' plan, don't think it is because the paper is any the less interested in the movement nor less confident of it's effectiveness. If you want the truth, it is because The Graphic knows now that it will be a success locally. Loyal Southern women have enlisted and are conducting the campaign.

Be ready for the ladies of the "buy- a-bale" club when they call Tuesday to invite you to display your patrio- tism by buying one or more bales. The ladies are not serving as solici- tors or canvassers. They are simply acting as the personal representatives of the South in extending an appeal to avert distress. Your patriotism is expected to impel you to do volun- tarily and promptly whatever circum- stances will permit.

tongues evidencing the presence or the
Holy Spirit occurred on the day OF the
Jewish Pentecost, and so the CHRISTIAN
festival in memory of that event retains
the name of Pentecost.
Its other name of Whitsunday or
White Sunday was given to the solemn
festival, because on that day the ordi-
those who we're baptized wore white
garments, as types Of spiritual purity,
which baptism Is meant to signify.
In the early church the term Pentecost
was used for Whitsunday and also for
the period Of fifty days ending with
Whitsunday.
Christmas, Easter and Pentecost are
the three great Christian festivals.
While the Christian churches differ in
the festivals, all teach and preach the
truths they are intended to represent.
The cardinal doctrines of the Christian
Church rest on belief in the divine birth,
the resurrection and the descent OF the
Holy Spirit.
Our thought this morning centers on
the first fruits of the Spirit. Let u.s.
therefore. bring our offerings of the first
and best of all that we have to Him
from whom all our bounties of nature
and grace are derived. trusting in His
promises to accept and abundantly bless
such offerings from our hands and
hearts.
Let us lay this day on Gods altar the
first fruits Of our lives, that We may
have within US the experience of the
first fruits Of the Spirit in His bearing
witness with our spirit that we are the
children of God: and II children, then
heirs; heirs Of an inheritance, incor-
ruptible, undefled and which fadeth
not away"

Money is only symbol. That Is the

we have won by service we return to

money does that service for me. Be-
cause 1 cannot lend hand personally In

person be on the dock to greet the in
coming immigrant and counsel him how
to become the best type of citizen, my
money stands In my stead, by the man 1
help employ. Because I cannot teach
in a theological seminary or in a negro
mission school, my money takes my
place. Because I cannot in person seek
