PREDICT PEOFIIEtRS UNLESS GOVERNMENT
 CONTROLS PACKERIEs

Washington, Jan. 9.-An era of eN- treme profltecring in meat. prices a1ter the food administration ceases to Junction unless control of private cars stock yards. and terminal refrigera- tors plans is taken from the packers, Was predicted today by Walter L. Fisher, counsel for the marketing committee of the American National Livestock Association. and former Secretary of the Interior. MT. Fish CT was testifying before the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee at hearings on the pending bill providing for government control of these mar keting facilities
 The witness declared that prices would bump the ceiling" and at the same time there would be donger of diminution of production if the govern ment took no action to curb what he described as a practical monopoly maintained by the five leading pack CTS. Stock raisers. he said, would hasten to sell,' even breeding animals to get share of the temporary high prices, which the packers would force and thereby production of new ami mals would decrease.
 Mr. Fisher urged that the stock cars, refrigerator cars, stock yards and terminal refrigerator plans be taken over by the railroads, rather than by the government for perman- ent operation. as a means of promot. ing real competition'' among the packers. If this failed. he would try government licensing of packers and would advocate government owner- ship of packing plants only as a last resort.
 "If something approaching genuine competition,' is developed among the packers, said MT. Fisher. stock grow CTS immediately would begin to in- crease their output.

In the reign of Queen Eliza beth, pair of gloves were held to be fitting gift for the sovereign.

Our wonderful Language.

A certain merchant died. leaving to nls only son the conduct of his exten- sive business. and great doubt was ex- pressed in some quarters whether the young man possessed the ability to car ry out the fathers policies. "Well," said one kindly disposed friend, "for my part, think Henry is very bright and capable. I'm sure he will succeed" Perhaps you're right" said another friend. "Henry is undoubtedly clev- CT fellow, but, take it from me, old man, he hasn't got the head to fill his fathers shoes."

Lesson May IS. Eph. 2:4-lO; Titus
ll-14.
Tho fact that God is rich in
mercy distinguishes the religion Of
Jesus Christ from an the man made
theologies of all the ages. In all
others the god Is a far-away being
austere and severe, and mans chief
duty II he would be happy Is to
placate that deity. In Christianity
we have the view OF God seeking to
save man, agonizing over his lost
estate and pleading with him to ac-
cept the chance of redemption and
eternal life. In all other religions
the convert Is only required to decide
TO start in living according to tho
rules OF his cult. but In Christianity
the convert makes the first step OF
his own choice, not on the urging OF
a passing whim or not alone on the
prompting of logical deduction, but
TO undertake with Gods help a revo-
luton within his own nature,
change that alters completely the
viewpoint OF his own motives, that
makes him love things that he used
to hate and hate those he formerly
loved. II is what the word conver-
sion implies, turning around,
reversal OF the motives OF the soul
We have known many good people
to be bothered over this matter OF
the. manner OF conversion. There are
