DR.. Latham Addresses
Twilight Meeting

Rev. A. L. Latham, Ph.D, pastor
of the Third Presbyterian Church
of Chester, Pa, addressed the
Twilight Meeting on Sunday even
ing. Owing to a regrettable mis-
understanding in ARRANGEMENT the
speaker scheduled for the evening
failed to arrive on time and at the
invitation of Mr.. r. B. Ross who
conducted the meeting, Rev. Mr..
Latham who filled the pulpit at the
Presbyterian Church on Sunday
morning, kindly consented to sup
ply.
Taking as his text, "But He
could not be hid" the speaker gave
four reasons why in a day when
news was disseminated so slowly,
Christ could not be hid: first, be-
cause of the unusual works that
He performed; second, because of
the doctrines He taught; third, be-
cause Of the life He lived; and
fourth, because He was the Son OF
Righteousness. In very eloquent
and forceful sermon, DR.. Latham
showed the marvellous influence OF
Christ's life and works.
Mr.. Ross announced that Bisho1
William Gardner Murray of the
diocese of Western Maryland, viii
be the speaker on next Sunda!
evening.

declining from sS9c TO 8s6c.
Some of the early demand was be-

from Wall street houses, some of which
were thought to be trading for foreign

New York. July s.
After displaying firmness in the early
trading. the cotton market lost ground
today, but it finished above the bottom
on covering.
One of the factors was a favorable
report. by the. New Orleans Times
Picayune, which made sentiment more
bearish. 1t appeared to be the impress
sion around the ring that the buying
of last Friday and Saturday had eased
the technical position.
The average of crop reports from the
south was favorable. pointing to a con-
,inued advance in the condition of the
plant, although there were occasional
dispatches from Texas telling Of fur
ther damage from lack of rain.
New crop eastern belt cotton was re-
ported offering for October, November
and December delivery at southern mills
at 200 points on October at New York
and at interior points in Texas at $50
points.
Business was small at the opening and
first prices were to IL points net
higher, with the tone steady. There
was only a moderate demand.
Selling was held in check by the fact
that the weather map showed only light
rains in Tennessee. whereas moisture is
needed in virtually every section of the
belt, following the recent hot spells.
Spot firms and room traders were
buyers, with uptown interests taking a
small amount of October. The selling
came from commission houses and Liver
pool.
At a decline of some 35 to 40 points
from Saturdays closing figures, or
around 24.60 for October, the market
steadied on covering. Rallies of 10 or
l2 points followed. but business showed
a tendency to taper off quite sharply
and trading was comparatively quiet.
