to play in this great program of world

pie of the North Church, and his presence
in our pulpit will be appreciated. 1t is to
be hoped the members of the parish will
turn out in large numbers to hear him.
"rhe Law of Supply and Demand" was
the topic of discussion at the MEMS Forum
last Sunday morning. The subject was
introduced by Dr.. Morgan in very able
and convincing address. He contended
that whatever political economists have
taught regarding this law in the . st, and
however important a part it apparently
has played in our economic life, no such
law is in evidence today. Like many other
great natural laws, the so-called claw of
Supply and Demand" has been sadly tam
pered with by man, and unscrupulous profi-
| pf the are lot n
the law in such ways as to cause it to
work unfavorably SO far as the people
are concerned and to their own personal
aggrandizement and enrichment. In no
measured terms he and other members
denounced the great Trusts who so
largely control the food supplies of the
nation. When, through the controlling
influences of great corporations, hundreds
of thousands of eggs and thousands of
tons of meat are kept in cold storage for
, years and whole cargoes of fruit are
dumped into the sea, in order to keep
down the supply and force up prices,
then there is obviously something rot
2, ten in the state of Denmark" and it is
apparent to all right thinking men that
something must be done to break the
: power of the great TRUSTS" Not only
, the trusts, however, but the tradesman
, VIII ClldIScS eAHOI UltduI pIlCtS lOI HIS
: goods, also came in for his share of con-
demnation. Altogether it was very
valuable and profitable discussion and so
i, interested were the men in 1T that they
l voted to continue the discussion next
Sunday when paper will be presented
!. by Fred W. Brown, Esq, A lively
time is expected. Come right along
, men, and Join us at 1915 p m. The
!, stereopticon lecture, 'In the Heart of the
!. Hills" at the North Church last Sunday
evening was enjoyed by the largest audi
: ence yet present at these interesting and
instructive lectures. The church parloI
: was crowded and fillmore people continue
E to come it will soon be necessary to use
the large auditorium to accommodate the
people. Sixty-eight pictures were shown
> and the conditions prevailing amongst
! the mountaineers of Tennessee and North
{ Carolina, who remain largely untouched
, by our m odern civilization, were graphi-
cally desc rlbed 1t was a revelation te
many people, as one person remarked
