HOME FROM LONG TRIP LAST NIGHTS SERVICE
Robert S. Barrett Returns From
South America Where he Spent
Fourteen Months Studying Foreign
Markets.

Mr.. Robert S. Barrett, formerly
editor of the Alexandria Gazette
returned to his home in this cit,
last night after an absence of four
teen months in South America. Mr.
Barrett, as the readers Of the Ga
zctL Know. has been representing tine
limited States bureau Of foreign anc
domestic commerce and was sent t;
the southern country for the purpose
OF studying the markets for paper
products and printing supplies.
Since sailing from our shores he
has visited all ten of the South Amer.
rican countries, spending at least 9
month or so in each, and as re.
suit has CLEANED vast fund of sta.
tisticS and other information relat-
ing To the paper industry in those
sections which should prove of much
value in increasing and extending the
trade of the United States nlanufac-
turcrs with the people of those coua-
tries.
In conversation with represen-
talivc Of the Gazette this morning,
Mr.. Barrett said that previous to the
opening of the present war the
United States was supplying only
ten per cent OF the goods sold to
South America from other countries,
but owing to the fact that manufac-
turcrs in Germany and other lands
had not been able to get their goods
there since the war began, the
United States has increased its
sales forty per cent and is at pres
cnt supplying at least fifty per cent
of the foreign made goods sold there.
THE interesting question now is, !"
said Mr.. Barrett, will we be able to
maintain that lead after the war
ends.
During the time Mr.. Barrett was
in the southern territory he visited
$500 newspaper offices and print
ing plants in which he secured data
of various kinds concerning the pa
per and printing trade, obtaining
samples Of papers used. prices and
other fa:ts relating thereto.
Mr.. Barrett says he enjoyed the
trip very much. He has been kept
huslv engaged today Shakin" hands
with old friends who are glad to wei
come him home again.

Rev. Register breaches Sermon in
Which he Asks Church Members
What They Have Been Doing Tor
Christ.

The revival meeting at the NJ. L
| church south was conducted last
evening in the lower auditorium OF
the church. There was a large repre-,
sentation of the grown-ups of the
city but not Of the children. the
fact that the latter were not pres
ent was somewhat disappointing to
the Rev. +. V. REGISTER who IS max
| ing special effort to reach the
young people Of the community.
The text was St. Matt. 27:22,
which gives vivid picture of the
embarrassment Of PLATE by having
Jesus Christ on his hands. In the
course OF mis- sermon Rev. REGISTER
said PLATE tried to shift the respon-
siblity by throwing the. burden up
on others. In these modern times
many people are imitators of Plate:
putting the responsibility for an
others soul on someone else. The
blood of Jesus has been upon Pilates
soul all these centuries. Oh, how the
curse of God follows.
The words that come from the
Governor are like a two edged sword.
First. the Christians have Jesus on
their hands. What have you done for
Jesus all these years that you have
been member OF his church? Many
consciences have caught their pos
SCISSORS at diSadvantage-thelr
cowardness has made them anything
but Christian. Some people use the
name of Jesus and His church as
something to iconjure with. Some peo-
n]e carry around Il rabbits foot.
Have YOU gone out of your way TO
win someone for Christ? If we are
to be Christians we must be like
Christ. Go out and meet those VINO
need Christ. Second. Christ does not
release those who have not been
converted. The mot saved response
bility" is upon the souls of those who
have heard about Him and have not
cbeyed Him. This responsibility must
be met some day. What answer will
YOU make when you meet Christ !
We can accept Him and die, and we
can accent Him and live. Will you
open your heart and let Jesus
Christ come into your heart? Let
Him have full sway.
