heart which change can only come
through the working Of regeneration
by the Holy Spirit. Reformation is not
regeneration. The devil cannot stand
the doctrine Of regeneration. He would
rather that we preach that OF reforma-
ton.
Regeneration, he continued Is giving
a man divine life. God can only do
that. The man who Is reformed only
outwardly, will go back to his same
old ways sometime. Those who are
regenerated have new loves and new
aspirations. Reformation Is all right
as far at 1t goes; but 1t don't go far
enough. When God begins to regene-
rate man, he begins at the centre and
changes that man both within and
without.
Some cults believe that man can be
saved by evolution, declared the evan
gelist. That Is not so. Regeneration is
different from evolution. Some people
teach that good environment will make
better men. That belief Is also false.
Some time ago, said Mr.. Ham. Iorty
st. Louis society women, believers In
this theory, set out to prove their doc
trine by marrying gamblers and buns.
In two years all Of them had applied
to the divorce courts for separation.
know lots Of devils, said Mr.. Ham,
who have been baptized and are worse
since then. Baptism Is only symbol.
I might tonight baptize everybody In
this audience and yet were they not
regenerated by the Holy Spirit, all
would go to hell.
Baptism, declared the evangelist. Is
not essential unto salvation and no
man has a right to be baptizetd until
after his regeneration. Then he should
be baptized In obedience to his Lord.
The Holy Spirit Is anxious to work re-
generation In every man and woman
on earth. But each person has got to
| be willing for that regeneration. In
this connection Mr.. Ham illustrated
his point by telling Of man whom
on one occasion, and the man replied,
| 1.-The spirit doesn't move me tonight"
II told him and tell you," he declar-
| ed, "the Holy Spirit will never move
you until you throw away your sins
and seek regeneration
When a man gets religion, said Mr..
Ham, everything Is different. The dog
looks better. The mule doesn't look
80 mean. II you get religion you will
other fellow. You will see in people
good which you could never see be-
fore.
In discussing the mode Of Baptism
the preacher said that because mans
mother and father held certain be-
liefs on the subject that the man him
self should not necessarily hold similar
beliefs. my mother and father are
Methodists," he said, "and am q Bap-
tist because my Lord distinctly says
that I should be immersed. Parents
have no right to control their children
on this point. The Bible should be the
authority. We Baptist, he said, don't
| sprinkle or pour because the New
| Testament doesn't give US the authori-
ty to do that. Still we don't say that
those who are not baptized by i'm
mersion are not Christians. II have
violated no ethics in bringing to you
my belief about baptism" concluded
| Mr.. Ham. 1.-The message Is brought
with love for you."
At the conclusion Of the sermon an
invitation was extended those out Of
the church to make q profession OF
faith. Several responded.

COTTON GINNING
A Diagnosis Favorable to the Perma-
nence of BulIish Features.

A Diagnosis Favorable to the Perma-
nence of Bulish Features.
Cotton has many cross currents and
counter influences to make the mar
ket one of animated guesswork. Mon
days ginning report showing 5,713-
34i bales ginned to October IS, out
bulled the most bullish estimates. Gin
ming reports are not infallible indices;
but taking the average for the date
at 60 per cent, the report would fore
shadow a crop under IL, 900, 600 bales
Such a possibility would justify a
sharp advance in the market which,
to say the least, has for the past few
days been acting "dopely."
Perhaps a more generous response
to the request for foreign credit would
have meant better price for cotton
at this time. Compliance with the re-
quest for billion probably would help
to take care of the future needs
Whereas the amount granted evident
ly settles Indebtedness already incur
red, and leaves the borrower without
funds for future transactions. The low
level Of exchange shows this. For the
present this advantage influence seems
to outweigh the prospect Of a short
crop, and prevents a material advance
so are not infallible. Two leading au-
thorities are far apart in their figures.
But the crop foreshadowed by the
ginning figures, together with the esti-
mated surplus from last year, is below
the maximum estimate, and would
leave but a comfortable surplus if the
minimum be correct. Spot cotton is
not urging buyers to take it. The "in-
to sight" movement does not betray
an especial eagerness on the part OF
the planter to rush his crop to mar
ket. He acts as If he were able to
market leisurely.
These features seem to make two
sided market. But the bullish fea-
lures are permanent, and the princi-
pal bearish one Is more likely to be
temporary. There is room for differ
cnce in opinion but, on the whole, the
position would seem to be more favor
able to the hopes Of the Planters

pies Of mechanics, the laws Of ply
sizes, and Of spiritual manifestation.
On the evening Of the sixth day the
earth was complete, with the fuli-
ness with which 1t was stored" and
ever since then that treasure house
has belonged to the Lord. Man has had
as free access to it from the begin
ming as now, and he. has received the
various treasures therein as he needed
them. Nothing has come to him be-
fore he was prepared to use 1t, and
nothing has been kept away from him
after he had been prepared for it's use.
Let us not detract anything from
the honor we delight to bestow on Ed
ison, Marconi, Burbank, M. Pasteur,
the Wright brothers or others. Wheth-
er they are aware Of the fact or not,
or whether they have been willing to
admit the fact or not, they have only
been mediums through whom God has
bestowed benefactions on mankind.
They are entitled to honor and credit
to be sure, in the first place, because
they have been chosen instruments,
and in the second place because they
have found pleasure in diligent atten-
ton to the revelations that have come
to them. They have been permitted to
bring things from Gods storehouse.
1t would seem absurd to compare
the man who contributed the first rude
ak from stone to the man who made
available the power Of steam. 1t Is ad-
mitted, however, that there were ages
during which man was not familiar
even with implements Of stone. If this
be true, then it is quite logical to con-
clude that the invention Of stone i'm
plements put forward the world Of that
day, as much as did the invention or
discovery Of bronze at a later day.
The name of the man through whom
the use Of stone was revealed, has been
forgotten, as has also the names Of the
men who first brought into service
bronze and steel: but 1t requires no
stretch of either imagination or faith
to trace from stone to bronze and
steel the same Guiding Hand that
showed the way from steam to elec-
tricity.
Mature and Natures laws lay hid
in night: God said. let Newton be- and
there was light" sang Alexander A.
Pope. The poet sought to give too
much credit to the man; but otherwise
the truth he declares is correct. There
was light through Newton, to be sure;
but in spite of all that light, and all
the light that has been shed through
others, the treasures that are still to be
found in Gods storehouse Of useful and
uplifting knowledge, are greater than
any that have yet been taken out.
Let us be thankful for wireless tele-
phony that will carry the human voice
across oceans and continents, and let
us be thankful for the men through
whom these things have been revealed
to us; but above all let us give the
praise to the Great God who made pro-
vision for these things from the begin
ming, and who gives them to us as rap
idly as we develop our capacity to re-
ceive and appreciate them.

Manufacture of SheIls-The French
hall M karS SaNS q Paris cOrreSnnnd-

Manufacture of SheIIs.-The French
shell makers, says a Paris correspond
ent, have had some difficulty in obtain
ing the necessary quantities OF stee
suitable for projectile. The largest
iron producing region in France is in
German occupation and home produc-
ton has had to be supplemented by
orders abroad, chiefly in the United
States Besides ordering steel in the
United States, the French shell manu-
facturers have also bought there most
of their hydraulic machines for shell
forging. Most of the shells ordered
for France in America have been un-
finished, the finishing Of them being
committed to French industry with the
object of helping the small manu-
facturer who would otherwise be idle
and whoe works are not equipped for
the production Of the shell from start
to finish.
The cost of producing shells has
been greatly reduced since the war be-
gan, by the immense scale on which
they are produced and by the use OF
the most modern machine tools i'm
ported from the United States. The
price paid for the 3-inch shells at the
beginning Of the war was equivalent
to S7.CO. This price has been reduced
by one-third. American makers of
large calibres are, it is understood, re-
ceivirg for 6-inch shells, about SO
apiece. These prices are for unloaded
shells; the charging of them is not
trusted to the makers from the pri-
vate contractors, but is done in the
private arsenals. All these shells must
be made with extreme precision for
long range work, but for short range
TO pitch shells at the trenches from
half a mile to two miles old guns can
be used and castiron shells.

Wednesday and Thursday.
"A local subscriber complains that
he does not see how he Is going to be
able to read The Enquirer with any
satisfaction unless he subscribes for
two copies. He says that people who
are fully as able as he to pay for the
paper, get his Enquirer and go off with
it often before he has had time to
read q line of 1t.
There Is pretty general satisfaction
with the new postoffice, except that
some people have not yet become ac-
customed to the changed location.
There is no longer any complaint, how
ever. II is generally recognized that
the new quarters are far superior to
the old, not only from the stand
point Of ample room, which has not
been available before; but the interior
arrangements generally. Because of
ample room 1t is now practicable to
make use Of distribution case to ia
cilitate the assortment Of mail by sec
tions in such a manner as to make the
work Of putting 1t in the boxes easier
and quicker. Then the rural route
carriers, who have to assort their mail
before starting out on their rounds,
have much more room in which to
work, and are able to get their mail in
shape to better advantage. Twenty or
twenty-five people would crowd the old
lobby uncomfortably; but the present
lobby will hold hundred and fifty or
two hundred as easily as the old lobby
would hold twenty or twenty-five peo-
pie. The postmaster and assistants,
starting out with an entire new ar
rangement had to learn the boxes of
the patrons all over again, and this re-
tarded the distribution Of the mails
somewhat at first; but now the mail
Is being put up in less time than for
merly, and all in all the new arrange
ment is steadily becoming more and
more satisfactory
