If one thinks of mans immortal
spiritual counterpart as already
breathing the aura of the spiritual
universe and as merely clothed with

greater marvel, no more stupendous

IF A MAN DIE SHALL
HE LIVE AGAIN p

In stating his unbelief in the ex-
istence of a soul and future hu-
man life, Thomas A. Edison en-
pressed the opinion that future
conscious existence is impossible be-
cause man is not an individual. but
an aggregate of cells. 1t dces not
seem to have occurred to MIR. Edison
that the inter-natal animating prin-
ciples with which these aggregate
cells are the material covering might
hold together in a future life just as
satisfactorily as the cells dc in this
world of nature
Even an inventive genius is not
necessarily any more of an authority
on the soul than is the underground
mole an authority on the stars that
shine in the heavens, for mortal
mans vision is similarly limited Mr.
Edison has harnessed electricity, yet
he has confessed that of the real
nature and quality of electricity it
self he knows nothing at all. He
has been very pointedly reminded,
therefore, that 1.-The human soul
possibly be far finer and suhtler
essence than electricity ITSELF"
Science deals and can deal only
with matter meeting battling mystic
ries even on the gross plane; and it
is reasonably contended that matter
is only the bark or rind, as it were,

Thinks Prosperity Will
Continue After War

Dallas, Texas, Nov. 22.-Con-
trary to predictions made by some
political parties that the end of the
war in Europe will bring a period
of industrial disorder and perhaps
disaster to this country, Edwin w.
Thompson, commercial attache ac-
credited to the American embassy at
Berlin and The Hague, believes that
America will see even greater pros
perity than, if she is prepared to
meet the change. Mr.. Thompson,
who left Holland two months age, is
in Dallas on tour of the United
States, studying industrial condi-
tons. He will leave for Houston to-
night.
The moment peace is declared in
Europe the great warning nations,
which have produced and imported
practically nothing which was not
needed for immediate consumption
since war began, will be in the mar
ket for immense quantities of raw
material Mr.. Thompson said He
is thoroughly familiar with condi-
tions in Germany particularly, hav-
ing been attached to the American
embassy there fer number of
years
Germany, he said, will need
5000, eco bales of Gotten the moment
peace is declared and will buy that
quantity if it can be found on the
market For that reason he believes
that campaign to reduce the cot
ton acreage is unwise. He said that
he does not at all oppose the idea
that the farmer should grow his own
food crops at home if possible, but
he believes that large gotten acre
age will yield splendid returns, if
the supply can be controlled and
not placed en- the market until

CORNER IN FOOD AND
LAND BOOST PRICES SAYS
LOUIS r. POST

(By Basil M. Manly, Noted Economist)
| Washington, d. c., Nov. 21.-Louis
F. Post, assistant United States Sec
rotary of Labor, today, discussing the
rapidly increasing of all elements of
the cost of living said:
Until there has been opportunity
for complete investigation of the re-
cent sharp increase in prices, it would
be rash for one to hazard any opin-
ion, either as to it's causese or RENE
dies.
However, there are two primary
causes which operate constantly on
prices and which should be carefully
and thoroughly investigated. These
two causes l may call individual cor
nering' and social cornering.'
"By individual cornering, l mean
the conscious action of one individual
or a group of individuals to monopol-
ize some of the products upon which
the people are dependent. This &C.
cures when group of dealers restrict
the sale of eggs or when a great trust
undertakes to control some primary
product. There is much evidence that
this has been operating in the pres
ent crisis. The Department of Justice
is now directing Investigations along
this line.
"Of even greater importance as a
cause If hight prices is social corner.
ing by which the use of the land and
natural resources is so restricted that
there is maladjustment of national
opportunities. The holding out of use
of land which any human being can
utilize is equivalent to a corner, not
onl yin the land itself, but also in all
the products which might be obtained
from that land!
"The great problem of the nation is
to secure the maximum resources by
its people. If all the available farm
land in the United States should be
put to efficient use, there would be
no such prices!
at is Of the greatest importance
that the wage standard of all classes
of labor be adjusted to meet the rapid
increase in the cost of living. A ma
ton is burning the candle at both end
ton is burning the candle at both ends
when it fails at their standard of liv.
ing.
but where the welfare of the en-
tire business fabric of the nation is
dependent upon it's laborers, not only
as producers, but as consumers of it's
products, the most elemental business
politely would seem to dictate that this
problem should take precedence over
all Others"

Christian EndeavOrerS
AT Winter Haven

The first time for several years a
c. E. convention was held in Winter
Haven, early this month, and was well
attended by representatives from sew
eral societies of Southwestern dis
trict, the largest in the State Union.
Though services were held with the
Presbyterian society, faithful friends
in the Christian church G. E. work
added in every material way in max
ing the convention a real success as
it proved to be in each session.
District President Earl Candanagh
commands the exercises and his Uni
ted Brethren pastor, Rev. R. A. Smith,
from Tampa, also came and took part
helpfully The Mock trial which took
SO well in some other conventions,
also the Efficiency dialogue, by
Messrs. Lohmann and Curry, were
pleasing portions of the program
which had been carefully outlined by
State President Curry and the South
ern Secretary guest. Mr.. Lehman,
and it proved helpful indeed.
There was a delightful social at
Plaza Hotel" and ride of sight-see-
ing in this, one of the most beautiful
citrus growing parts of the State.
Winter Haven is worth visiting any
time, and especially when one can
combine C. E. fellowship and inspira-
ton with the beauty of nature seen
here. The church was decorated in
State Union colors, purple Grape paper
and yellow wild daises, with ferns and
bamboo as background.
Rev. A. Z. Spencer State Quiet
Hour superintendent from Lake City,
held impressive service, four new
Comrades being added to the depart
ment, A number of ministers aided
in making this meeting spiritually
worthwhile. State Secretary Ruth
Coffin, from Johnstown was present,
giving statistical address showing
what rapid progress our work was
making in Florida in the white State
Union. A club of ten or more new
subscribers for Dixie Endeavorer was
made, and many new and progressive
plans were brought forth and decided
on the future months in South western
district activities.

from Bradentown Presbyterians who
