HEAVY BEAR PRESSURE

NEW YORK. August 2s.-Intense
dizziness. uncertainty and uneasiness
featured the session of the stock eX-
change. No one cares to extend specu-
Iative operations on the long side, and
the bears are chary. seeking soft spots
for their ventures, as the holiday from
Friday evening over until Tuesday
morning might force covering later on.
There seems to be but one influence
other than the approaching adjourn
ment, which is three days away, and
that the dominant intiuence-the queS-
ton of the price on steel and copper as
fixed by the government through its
agents.
Wall street seems to have rumors al
legged to be practically the figures
agreed upon. but the strength in the
steel shares would seem to bring doubt
on the low prices suggested.
A number of other industrials pre-
scented firm tone. but there was eN-
tremely light trading, though, until
early noon.
Soon after the opening of the third
hour of the session, the bears seemed to
consider the time for raid about due
and made attacks the steels. the
motors, led by Studebaker. and on
many other shares in the list. They
sold with more and more pressure, and
before the end of midsession had

Weakness Continues.
The weakness continued throughout
the entire session being accentuated
by the increased pressure of the bears

their short trades.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Jesus and the Woman of Sam
aria. John 4:1-29.
(Bv J, NJ, McLean)

aria. John 4:1-29.
(By J. M. McLean)
The value of a religious faitl
may be determined by the power o.
it, author in proving his claims. Il
he can demonstrate his teaching by
the word of power, the value of the
faith he is advocating cannot be
reasonably questioned. This would
appear to be true in an absolute
sense when the author declares him
self and Immediately puts his pow
er in operation in the life of per
son by nature prejudiced and by
habit most difficult to reach.
In this story of the conversation
between Jesus and the woman of
Samaria he adapts himself with per-
feet tact to the circumstances of
the woman meeting with. her own
line of thought, and descends upon
her conscience like a purifying and
sin deadening pain. The sin born Of
passion or accident and sustained
by degradation is purged from its
victim and she discovers herself
possessed of a clean moral consci-
BUSINESS.
1t almost surpasses human under
standing how the Savior found in
the lives of degraded persons
capacity for morality and pure de-
votion for righteousness. The
race looks upon persons whose lives
are given up to the habit of sin or
to making trade Of sin, as beyond
redemption. Few persons have pity
on their fellow creatures whose
lives are confirmed in vice. There is
almost universal antipathy for such
persons on the one hand, and
apathy on the other. Vice lives by
converting and conforming others
to it's ways. They are in it from
choice, environment, circumstances,
and accident. Their lure follows
them like a repulsive shadow. These
who would give them succor and
restore, feel the very impotency of
their power when confronted by a
vice victim. Can the Ethiopian
change his skin or the leopard his
spots; if so, you who are habituated
to do evil may do good, ''was the OBJ
servation Of the prophet, Jeremiah.
This no doubt is the attitude of
many persons not victims of vice,
but deriving profit and pleasure
from it's victims, and for that rea-
son fostering and defending those
following it, when they can be rea-
sonably sure it would perish out
from disuse of its organized centers
were destroyed.
"Gold, won by Fraud, brings
foulness and poison where it
bides,
Though pomp and flowers conceal
it, it cankers where it hides,
It stains the snowy Marble and rots
the sculptured scroll, I
And saps the strength of manhood
and blights the loftiest soul.
Then scorn such passing treasures,
i'll kept by bolts and bars,
And lift your eyes to heaven and
gaze upon the stars;
Take heed that men are worthy to
dwell in lands like these,
That they are wed with women
pure as the circling seas,
That Love and Truth and Honor
the comrades by the way,
And that their path is upward till
night is lost in day."
The Savior taught this woman
hat God could be found nearer her
lie than hands and feet and that
He would be found more precious
han the breath she was breathing.
Sod is not confined within the wall /
II the Church, nor localized around

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by Anne Rittenhouse.
Preserve the Brush.

At all times good brushes are ex-
pensive-just at present many of them
are prohibitive in price. They are al
ways worth taking care of.
To begin with, all brushes ought to
be kept clean and a brush that can
not with usual precautions stand up
under thoro cleaning is not worth any
price.
Lambswool wall and ceiling
brushes are not worth a small frac-
ton of their initial cost, for the sim
pie reason that when washed they
shrink past all resemblance of their
original shape. Needless to say, Such
a brush is not Clearly, in spite of the
fact that many a housewife longs to
own 1ambswool brushes. Perhaps it
is simply because they are so fluffy
and attractive when they are new
Better far is a broom covered with a
clean outing flannel cover. That, at
least, can be kept perfectly clean.
Brushes ought not to be cleaned
with very hot water, however, and
they ought not to be cleaned with
soapsuds. Such a treatment renders
them soft and makes the bristles yell
low. The best way to clean any sort
of brush is to dip it in a solution
of ammonia and water. Rub the bristles
across the hand in this solution or
rub two brushes against each other
and the dirt will soon be freed. Rinse
in lukewarm water and dry quickly
without placing the brush near a fire.
