Of deep concern is the result of clear
views regarding God as God, Jesus as
the Son OF God. the Bible as the word
of God. heaven for the saved and hell
for the lost and salvation through re-
pentance and faith in the blood of Jesus
Christ. I've never seen "A man who
disbelieved in Jesus Christ as the Son
OF God, but he didn't spend his time
criticizing somebody that is trying to
do something for the word OF God.

God in a Hurry to
Bless and Save America

Billy said he believes God is in a
hurry to bless and save America be-
cause the greatest meetings in the his
tory of Christianity are now being held.
He declared this is the greatest age of
the world. spiritually, financially. intel
lectually. as well as the days of war
and brutality.
Never have such extremes beer
shown as are being manifested today
and how thankful we ought to be to
God that His cause is in keeping with
the rest of il.
1T is astounding. L am Inundated
every time 1 think of it. Nothing pro-
duces joy in heaven like the salvation
of souls No battles, oh, no. They did
not cheer up in heaven over battles
No. Every time a submarine shoots
torpedo into ship and it goes down
they do not cheer up in heaven. No
picture that was ever spread on canvas,
no art, no extension of civilization, but
there is job in the presence OF God
over one sinner that repents. So that
is what brings joy in heaven today.

ALL ATTACKS ON
SCRIPTURE FUTILE,
DECLARES BILLY
Being in Agony" Subject of
Address - Sweating Blood
Not the Physical impossible
ity Some Think

In his sermon SUNDAY morning on
Being in Agony" Billy sunday said in
idcls have seized upon various verses
Of scripture ana have given their rea-
sons for not believing the Bible the fact
that the statements therein are in oppo.
sitiOn TO their ideas and opinions.
Billy declared IL is just as futile to
attempt 10 improve on anything God
says as u would be 10 go out with a
brush. Dot OF paint and a ladder. liam up
against rock. the flowers all in bloom.
and paint This Is Spring"
Mr. Sunday took for the text Of his
sermon Luke the ed chapter and the
fith verse: And being in agony he
prayed more earnestly; and his sweat
was as il were great drops OF blood
falling down 10 the ground
They say. Why il would be a physio-
logical impossibility for anybody to
sweat blood and still live" said Billy.
Yet DIT. Osler in his Modern Medi-
cine gives instances where men and
women have been in such mental agony
that they have sweat blood and still
lived"
Billy then cited the case OF A Boston
physician. who said he knew of a IA
ther who for eight years had heard
nothing from his son until one morning
he received A telegram stating that the
boy had been arrested and sentenced TO
be executed.
After reading the message asking
him what disposition he. would like to

When Angels Are
Turned Into Devils

ANGELS are angels only because they
do the will of God and when they cease
to do this they become devils. The dew
ills were once angels and the reason they
are not angels is because they rebelled
against the will OF God. When YOU re-
sinner.
You Are an American when YOU sub
NIT to the will OF the government. When
you refuse you are a traitor.
81 learn the divine cup is a bitter
cup. whether the fallen angels drink I'm
their eternal Imprisonment or whether
the fallen man drinks the bitter curse
Of God upon him, or whether the I'M
fallen Christ drinks it,"
Billy emphasized the fact that church.
es say that with their lives as well as
their dips they will overthrow the forces
of evil that have been beating against
the cause OF God. IT is the sins and not
the sinners God hates. said Mr.. Sunday.
1T was a terrific exhibition-Jesus
Christ who had never sinned, staining
His clothes with blood. not for anything
He had done. but because of mental
agony He was in. knowing the punish
ment was going to fall on those who
were rejecting Him and His offer of
mercy.
1T was not bodily pain that Jesus
suffered. Jesus was no coward. II he
had been afraid of suffering martyrdom
and the pain that would have been In
flicted by His death on the cross, He
would not have been as brave as multi
tudes who had gone to the cross and
have been burned at the stake.
II think the universe sees God in
new light 1 think the angels have. too.
What joy must have swept through the
hearts of angels who did not join in that
rebellion, but who stood and fought
against the devil"
Billy said he believed there was
something wrong with the religion OF
the average man or woman because you
seldom see tears coursing down their
cheeks"
Did you ever weep because you saw
men and women you knew were going
to helI?" Mr. Sunday asked. Did you
ever weep for the church, because you
knew the power of the church was be
ing sapped by the worldliness in It?
Did you ever weep because Of your
own sins2
when they were leading Jesus out
to cruelty Him, the women followed
Him, weeping. He turned around ana
said to them Daughters OF Jerusalem
weep not for Ne, weep for your chill

WEEKLY REVIEW
 0F COTTON MARKET Uncertainty of Legislation and Crop Reports Cause
 of Irregular Trading

New York, July 6.-There have been very violent price movements in the cotton market during the past week and at times trading has been active and excited. The publication of the July bureau on Monday proved the signal for heavy profit taking, the ten dency in that direction being in- creased by the proximity of the holf- day. The condition report of 7O3 per cent was lowest on record for June 25. but the trade had been prepared for even lower figures, owing to the bullish private reports published to- ward the end of June, and this in it. self served to create reactionary sem timent.
 Later the selling movement was further stimulated by reports from Washington that cotton and cotton products might be included in the food more urgent right after the holiday on reports of good rains in the south west. October contracts, which had sold as high as 27c toward the end of last month, broke to 2420c, while January sold off from 27.1Sc to 24.26c, making decline of nearly cents per pound from the high records of the season.
 Most of the private crop reports had indicated considerable deterioration in crop prospects during June, while the government report showed a slight improvement and the rains reported in Texas created more optimistic view of crop prospects generally. Im- mediate offerings appeared to have been pretty we'll absorbed on a scale down, however. and the market turned firmer toward the end of the week on private reports that the Texas rains had been insufficient and covering re- ports of more active spot demand.
 Some southern selling was reported here during the earlier part of the week, but offerings from that source were very little in evidence after the break below 25 cents and contracts were comparatively scarce on todays rally of about 1S0 to 200 points from Thursdays low level For the fourth week in succession a large minus cor rection was reported in the running stock here, suggesting that cotton is moving out more rapidly than indl- cated by daily figures and it is re- ported that $6 per hundred has been paid for ocean freight room out of New York to Liverpool.
 Much of the weeks business has been attributed to evening up of ac- counts. with sentiment Unsettled by the uncertainties of pending legisla- tion and conflicting views of new crop progress.

JOHN M'GRAW GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY ID PRODUCE WITNESSES
Hearing Is Reopened and Later Continued Until Next Friday-Scribes
 Are Heard

l New York, July 6.--The board of direc-
 tors of the National league did not take any action during the rehearing of the
 McGraw case today and adjourned the
 session for one week so as to give Man
 an opportunity to produce two wit
 nesses from Pittsburg next Friday at Il o'clock
 1 The four newspaper men who wrote the interviews in which Manager McGraw
 was said to have cast reflections on Pres ident Tener of the National league were heard in their own behalf at today's ses- sion. Manager McGraw, who repudiated | the interviews, also gave testimony and said if given an opportunity to do so he could produce two Pittsburg men who were present at the time he is said to have been interviewed by the reporters. The reopening of the case was by re- quest of the local chapter of the Base ball Writers association for an oppor- tunity to present the side of the writers who reported McGraw's remarks at Pittsburg following his suspension by President Tener for an assault upon Um-
 pire Byron.
 The president of the league fined Me- Graw $500 and suspended him for Is days for attacking Byron in Cincinnati June IS. When word of the penalty was brought to him in Pittsburg a few days later
 McGraw was quoted by writers travelling
 with the club as refiecting upon integrity
 of the league executive. President Tener
 called a special meeting of the direc-
 tors but McGraw forestalled further pun
 shment by denying the statements cred
 ited to him ard the matter was dropped.
 Today's meeting was the first oppor-
 tunity that the writers have had to tes-
 tify as to the accuracy of their re- ports.

BARONS WILL MEET THE TRAVELLERS IN 4
 DOUBLE BILL TODAY
Moleys Lose Another Game by Margin of One Run. Team Is Not Playing
 True to Form

With couple of rt-breal1ing defeats to their credit, the Barons will wade into double-header with thesLittle Rocs series with the near-tailenders. The Barons dropped yesterdays verdict by a narrow margin. Incidentally. it was the second straight game the Moleyites lost by one tally.
 The trouble with the Barons appears to be their failure to connect safely with the ball, Moley's men failed to hit con sistently in the series with the Mobile Gulls and consequently were smothered three times. Then, the pitchers are not going as well as expected. And. on the whole. there is room for plenty of inn provement.
 There's no use, however, to be despond- ent over few defeats. Everybody knows the Barons have great team and will be in the midst of the fight from now until the season closes. It naturally makes one feel blue" to see his favorite walloped day after day.
 It's a safe bet that the Barons will improve their play within the next few days No club ever established a lead Ai eoi y ouiy WhicH won Rennant ana none will ever outclass the remaining clubs that much. Everypody has confi- dence in the Barons
 Today the Barons complete their stay at Little Rock with the double bill Mo- ley will probably send Carmen Hill to hurl one of the games with Elmer Ponder or Karl Black in the other fray
 Following the stay at Little Rock the Barons move over to Memphis to meet the Chicks in series of four games. And thence home for pair of games.
