NEGLECT LOCAL STOCKS

Action of the New York stock mar
ket today gave indication that busi-
ness interests were a little more
confident over existing conditions :;
that the threat of Strikes and strike
votes were less threatening. The ac-
tion of Judge Gary. for the United
States Steel Corporation, in repeating
his refusal to discuss conditions with
so-called union labor committee
claiming to represent the steel work
ers meeting with the approval of the
street as the first indication OF a halt
being called on the habit of granting
or compromising all demands.
The action in stocks may have sim
ply represented a specula tive move
ment. as investors and tiG operators
are likely to stay out until after La
bor day.
The exchange will stand adjourned.

Rfteen were there. We gaze a large
part of two days to the consideration
Of matters. And we were perfectly
agreed upon every point. We
will report in duplicate to our two
conventions. Our fundamental is DE
nofninational Control" There will be
no sort of cooperation with any
Baptist body that denies that princi-
pie, for ii is subversive. But we are
planning cooperation with the Ma
tional Baptist Convention and any
other body which adopts that princi-
pie, where there may be occasion.
So, the National Baptist Convention
is right in agreeing TO make their
convention distinctly representative
body. Let the brethren go over
their constitution and other organi-
cations in connection and see to it
that this principle runs clear through
the whole fabric. And while they
are at it, there are some improve
ments which experience will no
doubt suggest Then something
worthy is close ahead. There were
other things agreed upon by the
Joint Commission, but they will have
to wait This letter is too long, now.
But we are for the kingdom and
see visions in the near future. Let
us keep step and keep close to the
Bible.

what He Saw.

In his daily half-hoiir confidential
talk with his boy, an ambitious faith
er tried to give some advice.
BE observing my, son. said the
father on one occasion. Cultivate
the habit of seeing, and you will be
a successful man. Study things and
remember them. Don't go through
the world blindly. Learn to use
your eyes. Boys who are observant
know a great deal more than those
who are not"
Willie listened in silence.
Several days later, when the en-
tire family, consisting of his mother,
aunt, and uncle, were present, his
father said:
well, Willie, have you been using
your eyes as | advised you to do?"
: Willie nodded, and after moments
hesitation, said:
I've seen a few things about the
house. Uncle Jim's got bottle of
hair dye hid under his bed. Aunt Jen-
MES got an extra set of teeth in
