The Worlds Markets
Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans. December 1.-The cotton market Last week stood at it's lowest lew els on the opening session, went to the the week and eased off somewhat toward the close under liquidation on tbe long side At it's lowest it was 9 to 36 points under the close of the preceding week and at it's best it was 115 to 204 points higher It closed at net gains of 80 to 17i points. The last price on January was SS 2Sc which compared with 40 cents as the closing price on middling spots.
 Foreign exchange, in it's upturns. was one of the main stimulating features Of the week. Better freight and fuel condi- tions, large exports and the very large mill talings for the week. together with the decline in the visible supply. encour- aged operations on the long side. NH ta1ings of American cotton were 46i 0Oo bales against 277,o00. the same week last year. The visible of American decreased by 17,0S6 bales, against an increase the same week last year of 1S,l0S. A de- crease at this time of the year is un- usual
 This week the market will probably see trading considerably restricted, owing to the fact that 1t win close Wednesday night for the Christmas holidays, not to reopen until the following Monday morn iEg International financial developments will be closely watched and any real i'm provement in foreign exchange probably would stimulate buying, just as unfavor- able fluctuations in rates would stirnn- late selling.

LANDED FOR SAFETY

New Orleans, December 21.--while the naval wireless stations at New Orr leans and Burwood. La, were vainly en deavoring yesterday and last night to get in touch with the naval trans-At- lantic seaplane NC-4 the craft was 1y- ing secure at Grand Island, off the southeastern coast of Louisiana, 60 miles from here and only 40 miles from Burwood.
 Captain Cooper. commandant of the naval station at New Orleans. at 1915 today got in touch with the NC-4 and received message from Commander Read, saying tho plane was at that time over Breton Sound, and proceed ing safely toward Mobile. The thick fog which overhung the gulf coast yes- terday afternoon and last night was responsible for the forced landing of the NC-4 it was stated.
 There was no damage done to the plane, the landing was made without trouble in smooth water and the crew spent comfortable night, taking the air today as soon as the fog lifted and, conditions warranted the venture.
 It was while the plane was safely at anchor that the naval wireless sta- tions were endeavoring to raise it.. When not in flight the Nc-4 wireless does not function.
 The S36 naval seaplane en route from Galveston here, today was said to be in a badly damaged condition at Morgan City. La, due to forced land ing because of broken propeller. None of the crew was injured, however.

HIS STAR IN THE EAST"
 CERMON-DR MAC SPORRAN

The subject of pr. MacSporran's ser- mon at the First Presbyterian church yesterday morning was His Star Text from Matt 2:2. Where is he that is born King of the Jews, for we have seen his star in the east"
 In speaking of the wise men Dr.. MacSporran said: "They believed. as of earth where they lived and loved, toiled and suffered, there was a higher world shining down upon them, draw ing them, beckoning to them to look up and learn to interpret their lives un- der the light of the stars. They felt that in some real and vital way there was a connection between the lower world of the flesh and the higher world of the spirit. Wise men see and fol- low the star and it always leads them to Jesus When they set out with the inquiry in their souls-where in all this visible universe will we find that man. Hesitation of the Highest before which men of intellect and of character can bow down and worship with the full consent and the final allegiance of their souls, they come inevitably and wonderfully to Jesus Christ. When they find him they offer him their best gold fran<incense and myrrh.
 Every man has his star. It is the shining idea in the sky of his soul Ana 1t is the dim. sparkling. fairy-like light of his star ''twinkling up so high" which gives him his dreams. his glori- ous visions, his mystic raptures. his ardent. unquenchable hopes. We are constantly haunted by the fascinating light of the star as it breaks in upon our little earthly and worldly world. It transforms the familiar scene of our drudgery and shows us how the sim plest, homeliest task has it's own con- nection with the upper realms of being. It mocks with gentle irony our selfish and our hot pursuit of bau- bles and shadows. It troubles us with a divine discomfort and lures us on over the rough. sharp ways to higher and better things, and constantly re- minds us of our worth. of the great ends we should be pursuing if we are true to our immortal destiny; and it offers to guide us all the way until Christ is born in us and we stand at last in adoring love and faith before his presence.
 Following the star-his star-does not always pay. The wisest and the best men are not always the success ful men, Why do you thing is that brilliant surgeon, friend of mine. now laboring among the diseased millions of China when all his professors as-

REFORMATION OVERTURNED
 DOGMA AND CREED

Comparing the heart of the true Christian to a cradle which must contain the spirit of Christ, or else there can be no true religions, Dr. Henry M. Edmonds. pastor of the Independent Presbyterian church, spoke to a large congregation at the Temple Emanu-El Sunday morning on the subject of ".The Christmas Cradle .ss.s s-t,fs
 Both e-Christmas services of the In dependent Presbyterian church were largely attended Sunday, and special Christmas music by the choir featured the programme, both at Temple Emanu-Ei in the morning and at the Lyric theater at the evening service. At the Lyric Sun- day night Dr. Edmonds spoke on the topic, Word and Flesh" being a dis course appropriate to the Christmas sea- son.
 The Christmas cradle, Dr. Edmonds told his audience at Temple Emanu-El, is not on human lips, not in attendance or ac- quaintance, nor in outward form, dogma or creed but in the human heart He traced the early rise of religion from the period of human expression, from whence is came through the Nicean and Athenean period to the time of the apostles when, he said it took the form of dogma, and creed.
 The reformation overturned dogma and creed" said Dr. Edmonds. Religion then became again experience. it became life, and now we are again al the stage Of dogma and creed against which another reaction is setting in, and we are again finding that religion is not merely law or creed. Jesus must be in the heart. If the Christmas cradle is not in the heart 1t matters mot how many creeds, forms or dogrnas we may have, Paul makes no problem out of it when he says in the text Galatians 2:20, Nevertheless I live: Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me-
 Christ demands that we love nirn wholly and in entirety. Christ is foreve" bending our lives to harmonize with His We speak of exaltation or being exalted, but exaltation comes only after we have given ourselves wholly to Him. After Q crucifxion: after we have given our life over to Him then comes the victory of Christian life.''

Weekly Financial Review

New York, December u.-Specffic req sons for the more hopeful feeling mani Tested in stock market circles last week were furnished chiefly by the rally in for eign exchange and greater monetary ease than was expected at this period of the year.
 Recovery in exchange, notably tho Brit ish rate. was not due. so far as could be learned. to any definite forward step in the international credit situation. but rather to a logical rebound from acute and unreasoning pressure.
 Relaxation in the money market again aplied only to daily or call loans. Time funds remained firm at recent quotations, with greater scarcity of offerings on further reserve withdrawals by out-of- town institutions.
 The most impressive feature of the local financial situation was the shifting of huge sums to meet income tax returns and other federal requirements. This was accomplished with scarcely a ripple on the surface of the money market. The advance in stocks which marked the weeks later and more active operations was ascribed less to actual demand than to tardy recognition by the shorts that the floating supply of popular issues had steadily diminished.
 Another factor which accelerated the rise was the increased inquiry for steel and iron products. Leading mills are weeks behind in thrilled tonnage and the first quarter of 1920 is expected to wit ness an impressive revival of the coun- trys foremost industry
 Improvement in copper and kindred meals shares also proceeded from better trade conditions, accompanied by higher prices, while the advance in oils, motors and affiliated issues was reminiscent at times of the October-November boom.
 Rails repeated their familiar move ments of recent weeks backing and fill ing with narrow area as discussion and developments dealing with their returns to private ownership become more con. fusing and uncertain.

"A E-CHRISTMAS MESSAGE"
 --REX. ALBERT MASSEY

Before a large congregation yesterday morning the Rev. Albert Massey of the Christ English Lutheran church preached a timely sermon on the re-Christmas message, and said in part:
 The sunrise of history-tirne to which all ages past ran up, and in it found completion-cams on the first Christmas. From highest heaven God came to earth most low, His Son the messenger of the Eternal, man woman-born and lowly- born, for us the disclosure of the eternal secret. So within mans little horizon the Supreme Person of all worlds is come, and Christmas makes us sure that we lie upon the heart of God. Christ's every birthday can r1ake us more sure
 ''Fullness of time it was, and highest turning point in humanity's life. when the blessed maid brought forth a son. But later time may have their turnings and fulfliment too. For the coming of this Babe brought into the world saving power that is still transforming life. and for us again and again making all things new. The manager and the cross have the same meaning and message: both are re- demptive Simeon could depart in peace, for rhine eyes have seen Thy salvation '
 Salvation indeed, Can this Christina s day procure it. Angels songs can scarce be heard; din of violence rather. Wrong and falsehood flourish, riding topmcst waves. Is it not engulfed, the ark of this Saviour? No. He will yet be our salvation if we will have Him. And in this only Christ mankind will find it's guide in the better, dawning day. Life up your heads your redemption draweth nigh.
 Dwell not as much as we have on the fact of His coming, overlooking the pur- pose God who saves, the Infants name, and true to His name is He. From every ignorance, delusion and falsehood; from all, lack in us of wisdom, mercy and power; from defeat of our high intentions the condemnation of ourselves and self wrought separation from the Father in Heaven-from these and from every dark ness Jesus of Christmas saves. Once set right with Gods peace-bringer, the sins of ourselves and the lies of our world Lord, and the scale of battle will turn in our favor. Tn Him men see far more than teacher mora than master, more than friend As never-despairing Saviour He has brought purity to hearts, keenness Q consciences, unselfishness to service, aruor to praise.
 "Iearned in Christmas lesson was that peasant at Bonn. brought into the oper- ating room, frorting skeptic surgeons and students-and told that the disease could be conquered only by their cutting out his tongue. Because his life through he would never speak again, he was bidden to say his last word. And as he faced that audience of doubters, this the peasants speech: Jesus has been my Saviour; my Saviour He is; my Saviour He win ever be TO Jesus Jrafse!

FIRST AID CONTEST

With a final demonstration before Dr. C, B. Glenn, assistant superintendent of city schools, week of unique contests was closed at the Minor school, the prize for which was theatre party for the winning team. The girls of the seventh and senior sixth grades were formed into teams of f6urs, who were then instructed by Miss Painter, the school nurse. in the scientific method of preparing a bed for and the handling of a helpless patient. and in the proper bandaging of an injured knee and finger. The score points were: Making bed, 20 per cent; changing sheet under patient, 10 per cent; care in hand ling patient, 15 per cent; bandaging knee 20 per cent: bandaging finger, 15 per cent; speed, minimum, minutes, 15 per cent.
 With little Nellie Harrell acting as pa tient, the winning team was: Vivian Wood, captain; Allie Holland, Minnie Ma lone and Lula Smith all in the senior vii. grade. who made a score of so. The next highest score was 76, with Anne Lois face. of senior vi-B as captain. The cap tains of the other teams were: Vi-B, Ev- elyn Barrett: ii-B-Jr., Sadie Henderson; ; vii-A-Jr., Louise Huffaker and Vivian Cooper.
 The contest showed a striking need of such practical training as part of the do- nestle science course. The girls are very anxious to enter a similar contest with teams from other schools, with Dr. Mc- Lester, city physician, acting as referee Two weeks ago they held a very success ful cooking contest, in which line they challenge the domestic science classes of other schools also,
 The Minor school is indebted to the Kill gore Furniture company for their kind ness in lending a bed, mattres and springs, and to the Ensley infirmary,. Dr. H. P. Adams, and other friends, for the bed furnishings.
