SECOND IN SERIES
 OF FOUR SERMONS Rev. Joel B. SIocun, D. D., on The High Cost of Livinq.

At the Sunday evening service at the Central Baptist church Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., preached the second of his series of four sermons. His subject was The High Cost of Living or the Cost of High Living Which In part Rev. Dr. Slocum said:
 You will readily appreciate that these are not interchangeable terms The cost of high living may be some thing very different from the high cost of living. The high cost of living is condition brought about by the op- eration of certain laws in the economic world, laws and forces that are en- tirely outside and beyond the power of the individual. The individual has the privilege of suffering the conse- quences, but that's about all he has to say about it. On the other hand the cost of high living is entirely within the control of the individual If he does not desire or cannot afford to live high, all he has to do is to throw in the other clutch and run on low.
 The cost of high living is an enor- nous budget when you come to take into account society as a whole in this country alone There are, in this country. a good many people of more than ample means who spend lavishly for their own comfort and luxury We ing the most eXtravagant and waste full people on the globe. That is a phase of the cost of high living that has always fostered bitterness in the minds of the people of the poorer classes. And it does not seem fair that while there are hundreds of thou sands of people who are always in want there are so many others who do not know what to do with their riches even after they have squandered enormously for their own pleasures.
 Since it is unlikely that any word of mine could change conditions one particle in either of these two phases of the subject: i. e. either to make actual prices lower or to make people more economical in their expenditures, I will confine myself. this evening, to a discussion of the cost and value of living that is high in the moral and spiritual realm.
 Accordingly, have chosen a text out of the old book of Isaiah that cuts down through the glitter and artifi- ciality of life and discloses where the real values obtain.
 This philosophy of Isaiah is simply an anticipation of the doctrine of Jesus concerning moral values. It Is not by bread alone that man lives, but the mouth of God. "A mans life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses, In other words, the true estimate of life must be reached through an appraisal of character rather than through an &C., count of circumstances.
 This invective of Isaiah in the text is directed against Babylon-sordid, materialistic, insolent Babylon. Baby lon that loved gold more than 1t loved goodness, material wealth more than it loved men. Babylon that became so absorbed with her own seldshness that she forgot her men. Tn olden time the Greeks said: "Our country is noted for its men"

SYRIAN RELIEF DAYS
 .-.s.. WILL BE OBSERVED Head Of Armenian Church Designates Saturday and Sunday as Fast Days.

Bishop Arsen Vehounie of Worcester, Mass, head of the Armenian church in America, has issued d call asking that all Arruenians in America, observe Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 21 and P, as fast days. Indications are that practically all AImenians in the United States will respond faVorably to the suggestion of Bishop NehOunie. The bishop himself is devoting much of his time to relief work. making frequent trips for this purpose to New York, Boston and other cities. The Armeni- ans on this side of the water will not only go without food these two days, devoting the savings to relief of their suffering kirsmen, but they will spend much of the time in soliciting funds from others. The Armenians in
 America have given herOically to the relief of their fellows in the Turkish empire.
 The Syrians are no less jealous and self sacrificing. They have observed frequent fast days, with benefit to their
 health, so some of them say. A lead Ing Syrian, Ameen Rihant, writer,
 recently lasted two days, devoting the resulting savings to Syrian relief. He also collected $500 in cash from fellow Syrians during the two fast days. The Syrians, of whom there are 100, 900 in
 this country, have given $1D per capita to their Syrian relatives. Fasting on Oct. 21 and 22 will be generally ob- served by the Sy1ians as well as by Armenians
 Inspired by these examples, many Americans are planning, many of them for the first time, to fast one or more days, in order to save money for Ar menian and Syrian relief. and for the | purpose of entering, as they hope and believe, more fully into sympathy with the sufferings of those who are suffer- i ing so terribly in Europe and in west ern Asia.

your spiritual attainments I'd give all the world!" exclaimed the woman. Quick as a. flash Miss Carey replied: ''Weli, that is the price,"
 So I say to you tonight that the price of high living is the surrender of our claims upon the less desirable things and the acceptance of the chal- lence of Jesus to put first things first namely, the Kingdom of God and the righteousness of Jesus.
 Man was made for something higher than high living in any physical or material sense. I'll fare the lands, to deepening ills a prey, when wealth ac- cumulates and men decay.''

CENSUS OF SALARIES
 IN EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Half of the Clergymen Get Only
 $12OO a Year or Less

New York January 26.-The average pay of clergymen of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States is $12o0 a year according to Bishop William Law renee of Massachusetts, who announced tonight, at the annual dinner of the Church club here, the result of a care- ful census of salaries paid ministers of his denomination in this country.
 There are APO clergymen actively de- voting their lives to the service of the Episcopal church-sometimes called the richest church in America" said Bishop Lawrence "Yet 2252 of our clergy, more than one-half, are paid less than $1500 a year; 727 receive less than 5000, and only Ills earn $5OOO or more. Even this is not all cash, but includes the value of a house, when supplied.
 'The highest average salary is earned at AZ years of age. There is a distinct falling off in the salaries earned by the older men, especially those of 60. Many old men, performing hard jobs, are mak- ing $500 and $700 a year The church, therefore, today has. in fact, not in name, a system of virtual retirement at the ex- pense of the old men,

Atlanta, January 26.-Indictments charging violation of ti;e state law which prohibits trading in cotton futures were returned here today against five Atlanta representatives of cotton brokerage firms The names of the firms were not men, toned in the indictments.

 The defendants. w. Collier Estes. Barry c. Cothran, T. M. Hutchinson c. H. Ar thur and H. K. Stanford were released on bonds of 5000 each.
 Hollins N Randolph, of counsel for the brokers, declared that his clients had been operating under the provision of the Smith-Lever cotton futures act, and therefore could not have violated the Georgia law" He said the defense would take the position that the 5mith-Lever act, being a federal statute, zuromatical- ly superseded all conflicting state laws, MT.

Hostilities on all fronts having for the moment dwindled to rather unim- portant proportions, the political side of the war has again assumed the chief role of interest.
 The British Parliament is discussing with much animation what steps shall be taken to make more rigid the gov ernment's plan of keeping goods of all kinds from being imported or exported by Germany; British labor has decided by an overwhelming majority to sup port the government to the full in the prosecution of the war; the German am bassador at Washington has presented to the American government a draft note concerning the sinking of the steamer Lusitania, which is believed to meet all the American demands on this troublous issue, and which if accepted by the German government will finally end the controversy.
 In addition, Great Britain has an-. swered tentatively the American protest against the holding up of mails but will reply more fully to the representations when France has signified her approval of Great Britain's attitude.

Fly HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, January 26.-(Special) Peace rumors, it is said, are discounted by the government of the United States.
 It is reported today that official Wash ington is aprised that the European struggle cannot be brought to a con clusion through any save unnatural causes before the beginning of another year.
 It is not clearly established that the information said to be possessed by the government is based on the cumulative evidence of it's regular ambassadors, or on direct reports of it's envoy eXtraordi- nary. Col. E. M. House. Nevertheless, it is regarded as certain that the personal representative of the President has re- ported on a matter of such vital conse- quence to America-industrial and poit- ical America-and for that reason the governments possession of European opinion is attributed to the scrutinous in-
