Preaching With Pictures

Chester c. Marshall, in Christian Herald
 When the church of today considers the possibility of visual teaching and appeal, it is well for those whose sensi- bilities are offended to remember the picture and parable methods of our Lord
 The objection may be made that there are not suitable motion picture films TOT religious work, even though this may be a permissible method. It is granted that there is lack of pictures for this ex- press purpose It would be strange II there were many such pictures as long as there has been no realization on the part of the church that here was great instrument awaiting utilization and so long as there was a hostility to their use in connection with church activity.
 If the churches are to stand aloof until there is great library of films ex- pressly made for them, they will wait in vain while a golden opportunity passes by. Films are exceedingly expensive, and the demand in the entertainment held Is so tremendous and profitable that no worth while attempt will be made to ex- ploit a new field until it is reasonably certain that fair revenue may be de- rived from rentals. As the number or churches with projection equipment in creases the number off films for church use will increase and this in turn Will encourage many more churches to pr'e- nare for the use of this new method or work.
 One is not to infer, however, that there are no pictures now available for church use There are enough already to Keep any church going until such time as new and better ones are forthcoming.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New York, July S0-While there has been little evidence of strength in the cotton market this week, the decline in prices has not been so pronounced as it was week ago; in fact, the net loss is rather small outside of the October po- sition, which developed considerable weakness in contrast to it's previous po- sition of strength. This reversal of form was brought about largely by the liqui- dation of contracts that had been ac- quired by traders in anticipation of big premiums in October similar to those which prevailed in March, May and July.
 Prospects for an improvement Tn transportation, the greatly improved crop outlook and increased offerings of new crop cotton from the southwest, with notable reduction in demand from the mills, discouraged further holding of De- tober contracts, and quite general liqul- dation occurred. The action of the rest of the market rather indicated that bear ish crop news, which continued still as feature of the week, had been fairly well discounted. There was a good deal of selling at times but the offerings were taken by interests who were wlH- ing to cover shorts and await the out come of the government report on Mon day. Judging from the average or pri- vate condition figures received, there seemed to be no reason for any change in local predictions to the effect that the bureau figures was likely to be very clsoe to the ten-year average of 75.6.
 From the tenor of nearly all advices from the belt the crop has made excel lent progress throuhgout the week, win lessening rainfall, especially in Texas where high temperatures have not only hastened maturity. but checked boil wee vii activity and encouraged rapid mar keting of the crop in southern sections of the state.
 It is reported that, while cotton is finding fair demand, the low 4rades are almost unstable. The federal re- serve boards statement about increased unemploJ Jment and the outlook for con tinued dulness in cotton goods circles was very discouraging to bulls, but dla not inspire much aggressive selling. in view of the already. apparently strong technical condition of the market.

ment were really in the hands of an institution not mentioned in the com stitution at all, the Genro. or elder statesmen, an unofficial group made up from among the fifty-five leaders who conceived and achieved the restoration. Their function is purely advisory tr the government; yet in times of "a tional crisis they had often more weight than privy council, cabinet or diet. At present only four of them remain active, and this in spite of the fact that tv o have been officially added from the older men not hitherto classed with the group The institution of the elder statesmen seems on the verge Of eS- tinction. But during it's existence it's achievement has been little short of miracles, in less than fifty years it has piloted Japan brilliantly from feudal- ism to it's present conspicuous position in world politics. It has done this by the invention of a new relig1on-mikado worship. And never has there been religion more edifying to occidental credulity, more pleasing to ~ative vanity, more powerful as an instru- ment for the attainment of national ends, more useful as a diplomatic en- zine.

Over Private Wires
Shannon & Co.


 New York, July 3l.-Prices have been under continuous pressure today with Wall Street and western houses leading sellers. The western selling was thought to reflect not only the well-known bear ish factors in the cotton situation but the severe break in the grain markets where large offerings from the interior were reported. Some of the spot inter ests are sounding a note of warning against sales of October in view of what has happened with previous spot months and few in the trade can see their way to selling the distant months at such extreme discounts.
 This. however, does not deter the speculative element which is largely re- sponsible for the pressure and is looking forward to the hour when forced selling of the actual will be the order of the day and furnish an inexhaustible supply of contracts for those who may wish to recover. From present appearances the market will go over the bureau heavily short, expecting at least 75. and prob ably better, with something to be added for the weather since July 25.

New Orleans. July 3.-Selling pressure opened the cotton market today and, if anything the pressure was more severe on the close, which was at the lowest of the day, at net declines of 65 to T points. October fell off to 30.31c and March to Soc. The market gave no evidence whatever of recuperative power.
 There was nothing new to account for the offerings. Selling was done on the same old features of good weather over the belt, poor trade accounts and expec- tatons of a high condition report Mon day morning at 10 o'clock. The weather map could hardly have been improved upon, being dry all over the belt, with seasonable temperature, except that few showers were reported in Texas. The outlook was for fair weather over almost the entire cotton region
 The gst of weekly trade reports. deal ing with business in general. was that the trade was quiet, with a generally lower trend to commodity prices further falling off in the demand for wearing apparel was noted.
 Expectations regarding the bureau re- port centered between 75 and 76 The report naturally will dominate Mondays market.-Shepard & Gluck.

Stewart & White

New Orleans, July 31.-The market opened about points lower and soon sold to a decline of nearly 75 points on over night selling orders, the bad Polish news and the expectation of a bearish bureau report Monday morning. However, Wash ington furnished some bullish news on the coal strike and financial situation Of the railroads. There were also some bullih weather suggestions before the close.
 October opened at 31c, the days high. and acted easy throughout the short ses- sion closing at the low. 303lc. Spots were unchanged; middling, 3S.75. Sales rather good for Saturday. being 1,446.
 There were 900 bales low grades sold here yesterday after hours, and there is news of free selling by south Texas, and Georgia is offering to sell strict mid- dings in large quantities. It is apparent that these spot holders are trying to create a demand at new low figures in order to clear up some low grades re- mainng on hand.
 All news seems to be bearish news. and it has had it's due effect, not only on cotton and stocks. but mainly grain. While prices in these commodities may go somewhat lower we cannot see how to figure that the present prices are high, especially for cotton.-S. R. Stewart & Co.,

Good Old Days In India
From "Maharajas and Their Jewels.

From "MaharajaS and Iner JeWels,
 by Eleanor Maddock, in Asia
 That such a thing as pearl carpet could exist outside fiction would be tax on credulty, did it not actually hang on the wall of the Nuzerbagh palace at Ba- roda This relic of past era of bizarre extravagance is described as eight by six feet Three large diamond flower pat terms form the center; thirty-two smaller diamond patterns, and 1269 rubies 569 emeralds in flower designs form the bor- der; the remaining portion of the car pet is composed of seed pearls, although in places along the outer edge they have been removed and replaced by glass beads. A more absurd and useless ob- feet. apart from it's monetary value, would be hard to find even in India. But, if we hark back to the time before the rich gem mines, the extensive poarl sheries on the west coast and on the island of Ceylon had been exhausted, and were yielding their treasure by the bucketful, it takes little effort of the inn agination to picture an eastern poten- tate, laden with jewels until he could scarcely sustain their weight, reclining before the pearl carpet.
