GODS COIN. SERMON BY
 DR. I. A. MACSPORRAN

Dr. J. A. MacSporran, pastor or the First Presbyterian Church, preached yesterday morning from the text f'Show me the tribute money. And He said unto them, Whose is the ina ge and the superscription7
 Human life is the only thing that creates .values' said Dr. MacSporran. "In the~text money meant life and. in fact, money always means life Have you ever thought that everything that comes through personality, human and divine, is a kind of coin, that It bears a distinctive mark, and carries an image and superscription on II! Why is a trademark such valuable asset in the business world? It IS be- cause it is the firms guarantee or the cuality and genuineness of it's product. The wise buyer does not judge by the appearance, he looks for the private mark, the symbol of honesty and re- liability. He asks whose is the image and superscription. Everything that comes from us is stamped with our pri- vate mark When you hear man sing or pray or preach or laugh. when you look into his face or receive his promise you are looking for his dis tInctive mark; you are really saying

 New Orleans, March S.-The range or prices in the cotton market last week carried the active months over Ill to lSs points, highest levels being reached on Tuesday and lowest levels on Thursday The close showed net gains for the week of r to 50 points. At the highest the market was 72 to IA points over the level of the preceding week s close, and at the lowest 1t was IS to 42 points under. May closed at 7.52 and october closed at 3lSt while middling spots closed at 4O.25, show ing a net loss on that grade of 70 points.
 The market displayed tendency 70 get away from outside influences and to pay more attention to matters more ln- timately connected with cotton itself, and this disposition was well illustra teft by the indifference displayed on several sessions to news from Germany The idea back of this was that the question or the size of the crop about to go into the ground is more importantito the trade than most outside matters, because or the growing requirements of the world as it emerges from war conditions ant the steady shrinkage in the carry-oVer from past crops, Toward the end of the week the strong rise in the rate of ster- ling exchange and the report of large shipments of gold probable from London

 New York, March S.-Speculative en- thusiasm in the stock market continued at high degree of activity throughout last week, total sales for that period, mainly at higher prices. except among rails. approximating S.00o.OO0 shares.
 Reasons for the further expansion Of trading were provided by steadier in- dustrIaI conditions, comparatively easy rates for call money and more especially in the definite announcement that the long delayed gold import movement had begun.
 According to trustworthy advices. a to- tai of about sl5. .0000 000 is already in hand from London and indications po,n- 70 the early receipt of almost as much more from the same point of origin. The goid inflow, present and prospective, contributed to the sensational rise here of sterling exchange, at high rate oi 3 951a for demand bills against the rec ord low of 3-lS less than two months ago.
 The improvement shown by investment conditions constituted another important development of the week. This was manifested onl yin the presentation oi many excellent statements of earnings but in the large subscription to new un- derwrtings which amounted in the az gregate to almost sloo,O00.00o

HARRISON ID AID
 PORTS OF SOUTH
Southern Railway Head to Resist Monopoly of East
 ern Trunk Lines
Rx HUGH w. ROBERTs


 Washington. March 2. tSpecial)- )- Fairfax Harrison, president of the south ern Railway system, has wired R. L. Philips of Savannah, president of the South Atlantic Ports Association, as roi- i6ws:
 ''I am glad to reaffirm statement re- gently made to Mobile Chamber of Com merce that when the railroad export rate question is heard by the interstate commerce commission you will find us there with every ounce of energy resist ing the selfish proposal of the trunk lines that they be protected in con tinuing monopoly of export traffic as against South Atlantic and gulf ports.
 By this statement, the Southern co- operates with Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick, Jacksonville and Mobile in their desire to compete in ex- port traffic from the middle west on parity with New York. The Baltimore X Ohio has already served notice that it will fight the per- petuation of rates, inaugurated during the war, under which middlewestern shipper can reach Mobile or Brunswick on a mileage basis as cheaply as New York. As the Southern has taken the other horn of the dilemma, real battle is promised.
 No other eastern railroad has declared as yet an intention to cooperate wNll the Baltimore & Ohio in an effort tc destroy southern ports, but all of th@n l 1t is known to be true, are making a careful study of the situation and its possibilities.
 The southern states, with ports en' dangered by eastern trunk lines, hold l that the keynote of their future develop inent lies in their ability to compete on ar equal basis with New York for ex' port and import trade from and to the middle west.

to yourself, Whose is the image and superscription?'
 There are those who stamp the Image of self on everything they do or say. Even when they do good, with the label of self the work is spoiled. Such an one is always doomed to lit tleness and oblivion. who will have his day and cease to be.
 And there are those whose private trade mark Is the sign and seal of the devil They may disguise serve the conventions. but the heart of them Is depraved and corrupt When they open their mouths they let US know what they stand for what schemes they advocate. what poisoned cups they hold out to the innocent and ignorant We would like to say to them. The image and the superscrip- ton upon every coin you circulate is anti Christ
 Then there are those who bear the image of the heavenly. Christ abides in them and they in Him They have been branded with the marks of the Lord Jesus. They belong to Him. There is no doubt of that. Whose is the Image and superscription upon them? As. they are Gods coins. The sign of the cross the marks of the i-oA Ns7 ett v ebOtt4 v NAtAHe7 NiiSs NV Nii0 say.
 Tt is not so important how many people you can persnade to come to d church, or join church. But it is inn portant what Kind of people you send out of church What new and won derful stamp is upon them? What fas happened to them there? When we can send forth a people who will arouse such questions from the world and compel the answer. They bear the image and the superscription of their I.ord.' you will have d real church, and no ether is genuine, no matter by what Inor sign it is called"

 Weather and crop news of the early part of the wel was none too good, there being much complaint of excessive rains in the central and eastern portions oE the belt and not enough moisture m Texas. while complaints of the scarcity and inefficency of labor were quite gem eral After the middle of the week the drOuthy conditions in Texas were re- lieved /and planting was heard of over q considerable area in the southern half of that state
 The Conner bill, now before Congress, requiring that tenders ot cotton shall consist of at least 5e per cent of cotton grading above middling caused a stir in the trade and for a while led to lfqul- dalton.
 During this week developments in Washington in this direction are likely to affect the market one way or the other and legislative and weather news will probably fSxQish the motive power for most of the swing From now on until fall the market will open at o'clock and close at l. except on Satur- days. when it will close at 10.

DIR. BROADY SPEAKS ON THE GREAT SACRAMENT

From the passage in Exodus, And 1t shall come to pass that your children shall ask: What meaneth this service?' ' Rev. J. M. Broadly, pastor of the Fifth avenue Presbyterian Church, based his morning sermon when communion was held
 The fiscal year ending Easter morning. the officers of the church of the past year gathered in the front pews and received sacrament, administered by the pastor,
 after the congregation had been served. Dr Broadly said in part. 'In olden times the faithful killed
 lambs and sprinkled the blood over their doors It was supposed that if this was not done the first born of the household
 " ould suffer calamity.
 From this grew the great sacrament to the point where the Lamb of God offered His blood. as we are told in the
 New Testament The rite is to proclaim
 praises of blessing and deliyerance from levil.
 Few adults understand the meaning
 of the regular sacrament. l know diu
 not grasp the full meaning of American
 history until I stood and looked at the
 great monument at Bunker Hill. Then
 there came over me a feeling greater
 than I had ever gotten out of reading
 history from books.
 When one looks upon the monument
 at Lexington to the American dead, he
 realizes that the basis of our liberty IS
 in the heroism of the sons of our coun-
 try. A trip through Valley Forge made me feel still more deeply the debt we owe to those who died that we might enjoy liberty and the great monument at Washington standing 555 feet high IS grand.
 Jesus Christ has no monument as sig lnifcant as the sacrament which signlnes the love of Christ for mankind Christ monument is the gathering together or his people in communion.

During her stay in the city, quite a number of social events have been planned in her honor and she will be entertained at luncheon by some of the civic clubs
 Miss Caprice is one of the first really great movie stars to visit the city and her coming will greatly please the thousands of~movie fans of the city, who have admired her remarkable work on the screen. She is only a girl having been in the movies only a few years, yet she has attained a place in filmdom reached by few, and withal, she is q refreshly naive little beauty, who is unspoiled in spite of her sudden jump from schooldom to stardom.
 An interesting feature in connection with the visit to the city of Miss Ca price. is that moving pictures of her activities around the town willlbe talk en, which will be later shown in the weekly newspictures. thus advertlsing g Birmingham throughout the country.
