REV. MISS|RIAN ON
 A FORWARD LOOK
Says a Revival Of Faith Is Most
 Needed at This Time

Rev. G. M. Missirian, pastor of the
 Stanley Memorial church, just re- turned from his annual vacation, yesterday preached a sermon on "A Forward LOok," in which he attempt
 ed to show that the attitude of a true Christian is @ forward march, He de-
 clared it to be his opinion that what
 the Christians of all churches neeI
 most today is dynamic faith and a
 revival of confidence in the power of
 the Almighty. He spoke, in part as
 follows:
 ''rhe characteristic attitude of a
 true Christian is a constant forward
 march. The changing phases of the
 world and the manifold complicated
 problems of human life are not 2ble
 to hinder his onward progress. That is why Christian can retain his hope
 in the midst of despair and with an unfailing courage can overcome the tremendous forces of the evil, climb
 ing up the steep hills from strength to strength
 This morning in our Scriptural lesson we read the story of the chill dren of Israel crossing the Red Sea It is one of the first crises in the life of the people of Israel. They were all doWnhearted and very much hope 1 less The Egyptian Pharaoh, with all of his chariots and horsemen was in hot pursuit after them. And right ' before them was the mighty Red Sea I with it's upheaving waves. Even their brave leader, Moses, was crying not 1 knowing what to do. Right then the 1 voice comes from above unto Moses: l Wherefore criest thou unto me? | Speak unto the children of Israel that l they go forward Thereupon, with 1 the renewal of the faith and con(i- 1 dcnce Of the people in the power of 1 the Aln tightly God, hy miracle they 1 cross the impossible Red Sea and
 witness the complete destruction of
 their enemies. Laying aside for a 1 moment the comments of the higher
New Britain herald., 1919-09-08

criticism on this passage, we find in this old story most wonderful mod ern picture and complete interpretA- ton of human experience.
 Lift up your eyes and look over the world today. How the masses of people, almost in parallel lives, ind themselves in the same situation as the children of Israel were in days centuries before. The high cost of living and the ever-present dispute between capital and labor are the threatening forces hard after the heels of the bleeding and suffering human race, and right in front she is overwhelmed With the rising waves resulting from the strong winds of the idealsm upon the old waters of party politics and selfish interest. A great many people are in despair and anX- ious to get back to the old times. The situation is simply heartrendmg when you consider the weary mind of the suffering nations. And here the Church of God, which is in respon- sible position of leadership, is crying unto God, like Moses did in the an- ringing voice from above that comes \ to my children that they go forward?
 What the Christians of all churches need today, above all else, is a dynamic faith, a renewal of con- fidence in the power of Almighty God. God of Israel in the past is also God of this present generation.
 "The gigantic problems and com- pleX questions of our day are simply challenging forces against our Chris tian faith and strength.
 'St. Paul, in his own day, accepted the challenge of his contemporaneOus problems and simply went forward, trusting in his Saviour and fighting his way through life like d good sol dier. What a great inspiring mes sage he gives us Christians today mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Jesus Christ!
 We praise and admire the Amer ican spirit that made heroes and con- l uuerors of our boys What is the American spirit? It is the spirit that accepts the challenge which is against the ideals of America and fights de- votedly and Wholehea rtedIy, even unto death. until the victory is won. 1 The Christian spirit is nothing iess 1 than that.
 ''What shall the forward look and onward march mean for our church |? It means Ca to realize the challenge

WAR STAMP SALES
ARE TO Be PUSHED
Victory Loan Now Out of Way
Secretary Glass Urges
Small Investment

WASHINGTON. May lA.-With the
victory loan, the last great popular
subscription issue Of government securi-
ties, now closed, Importance of the
war savings stamps as Il continued fea-
ture OF government finance was en-
phasized by Secretary Glass in a state
ment today urging the cooperation Of
bankers and merchants In placing this
opportunity OF investment before the
American people. with no further war
loans to absorb savings. war savings
stamps, the secretary said, afford an
excellent vehicle for increasing capital
and earning power.
Many persons" said the secretary,
have not taken the war savings stamp
seriously as an investment, but the
fact that they bought In as large a
quantity as 81, 900 face value during
1919, Mt such favorable interest return,
makes them most desirable for the av-
erage man or family.
Definite plans for the continuance
or the Issue In coming years Of small
government securities are being worked
out, While no definite decision has been
reached, II is extremely probable that
war savings stamps or some variation
OF them In shape or name Will he a
permanent institution.
Although war savings stamp sales
this year do not nearly approach the
high marks made under stimulation OF
war need last year, their absorption by
the public thus far has been sufficiently
under existing circumstances.
TT ts customary for savings in all
channels to shrink the early months
Of the year, and It is expected that
war savings stamps sales, along wish
postal savings and savings bank de-
posts, viii grow steadily throughout
the year.
Cooperation Is sought earnestly. es-
peeially from bankers and merchants,
In the matter Of keeping thrift and
war savings stamps on sale, so thai
no one SO inclined may fail to have
opportunity to invest his money wisely ."

CONGRESSMAN BURNETT
DIES AT GADSDEN, ALA.

GADsDEN. Ala, May iG.-Reprs-
sentative John l.. Burnett. OF the Sew
enth Alabama district. for several years
one Of the leading members Of the
house and chairman Of the committee
on immigration IN the last house, died
suddenly Tuesday night at his home
here.
Mr.. Burnett had seemed IN excellent
health during the day and was pre-
pairing 70 return 70 Washington for the
| converting Of the extra session Of eon
gress mex Monday. Last night he at
tended a lodge meeting n while there
complained OF feeling badly, He was
taken to his home by friends and died
within 10 minutes after reaching his
residence.
Mr.. Burnett was one Of the older
members Of the house, having been
elected 10 the Ffty-siXth congress and
reelected to each succeeding congress,
including the Sixty-siIth, which will
convene Monday, In the last congress
he was chairman Of the house imml-
grafton committee, which, with the
cessation Of hostilities and taking up
Of reconstruction legislation, became
one Of the most important committees.
Late in the last session Mr.. Burnett
introduced bills for deportation Of dan
ger0us aliens and for the stopping OF
all immigration four years after the
declaration Of peace.
1t is believed that because of his
activity in behalf of the two bills Mr..
Burnett was one of the more than a
dozen high government officials TO
whom internal machines recently were
mailed. The bomb addressed TO the
Alabama congressman was received at
his home here, and only difficulty in
opening the package experienced by
Mr.. Burnett and his son probably saved
him from serious injury or death.

Cedar Bluff, Ala. in 1854. He Is sur
vived by his widow and one son.

STATES TO
BUILD MORE SHIPS
Order Of President Opens Way
to Filling of Many
Foreign Orders.

WASHINGTON, May i4.-orders for
possibly 5000, 900 gross tons Of chips to
be built for foreign account in Ameri-
can ship yards may be placed as the re-
suit Of an order by President Wilson
permitting the building Of such ships
provided II could be lone without In
tertertng with the construction OF the
american merchant marine. The presi-
aeht action was announced In a state
ment issued at the White House.
Officials Of the shipping board TODAY
would not venture more than a guess as
10 the tonnage American %shipbuilders
might expect as the result OF the presl-
dents order, which 1t was said az the
White House had been Issued at the
suggestion OF Chairman Hurley, Of the
shipping board. Good, substantial or
ders, 1t was said by officials, may be
yards.
Norway is expected to place large
orders, possibly 1000, 600 tons. and
France and Italy probably will let con-
.raGds tor considerable tonnage. it was
explained. France already has placed
orders for SOC, 900 tons In England for
delivery IN three years, and officials
believe may give American Yards a
good share Of the 1000. 900 additional
tons which that country is expected 10
iVIuIiC' llhlNt II was SAID, probably
viii be in the market for approximately
5OO,0 600 tons, part OF which nay be built
In the United States, but England is
not expected to place any orders in
American yards.
At the shipping board, II was ex-
planned that few orders could be placed
Immediately as the capacity Of the
yards for foreign account was yet linn
tied, Only five or possibly six yards
are now in a position to take on foreign
orders. but this situation will gradual
ly be relieved. 1t was said.
In respect TO the prices to be quoted
by American shipbuilders to foreign in
terests 1t was recalled that the last
price made for snaps built in Ameri-
can yards was $l70 a ton. Ali contracts
for foreign ships will be placed prl-
vately, shipping board officials said,
but under the general supervision OF
the board.
President Wilson, shortly after his
arrival In Paris, is understood to have
told high French officials that Ameri-
can ship yards at that time would be
unable to build ships for French re.
count as the American yards were to
be reserved for such naval construction
as might become necessary, dependent

Chicago. Jan. 24.--Every commodity on
change made o. sweeping descent in
price today urged by heavy selling and
by general belief that all foodstuffs were
dernoralized, to OK cents down, oats
off sA to 4Mc and provisions with losses
OF 42c to 81.
Aggressive selling repeatedly found the
corn market almost without buyers, and
made values fade at times with a sud
denness that startled even radical bears.
Declines in foodstuffs other than grain
and packing house products tended from
the outset to emphasize hearish sentiment
as to corn. In this connection, desira-
biltty Of further readiustment to a peace
basis was said to be obvious owing to free
offerings from Argentina and as con-
sequence Of eastern reselling Of domestic
corn. At Pittsburgh for example, more
than 100 carloads Of corn and oats were
reported on track with elevators filled.

Profit-taking by shorts led to reactions at
the finish after breaks ia some cases had

In provisions, the notable feature was
