ting the matter, and therefore I am ready'-ready to preach, ready to live, ready to die-ready unto every good work. And this same element of readiness must be the strength of our every mission en- terprise, and of our every ieffort of per sonal evangelism today. No mauRinS sentiment expressed in words of pity merely can suffice-such as is implied in the prayer of the Pharisee- l thank Thee that I am not as other men. But to be ready in this sense of obligation will make heroes of towards and work CTS of idlers in the Masters vineyard.
 "So, too. I would put you in mind 10 be ready with pure serVlce-motiVe' that you may be able to say with the apostle of old, I seek not yours uut you.' Let the unbeliever and the galn- saver know that the church seeks noun ing at his hands selfishly. that you as Christian are ready to put yourself under tribute, after the pattern or Christ. for His good always; that m every effort in His behalf you are seek ing not his but himself.' Nor is this purse service-motive inconsistent with a great zeal for the good pleasure Of Goa our Savior Indeed it was this zeal 'na moved this exemplar, Paul, to declare nis req adiness to die for the sake of the name of Christ"
 During the morning service pr. L. Caldwell and James Mohns were or dained to the eldership and duly installed into that office, and W. G. Spence and .R. C. Flemister were likewise installed as deacons, according to the impressive

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New Orleans, September 26.-Wide declines were made in the cotton mar ket last week, prices falling 23S to 42S made in the early trading when the market was influenced by fear of the hurricane in the gulf.
 Lowest prices were reached on the closing session when the trading months were 153 to 3O6 points under the last prices of the preceding week. October falling to 23.77c and March to 21.43c. Last prices were practically at the lowest levels. In the spot de- Iartment, middling lost 200 points. closing at 26c.
 There were two main reasons for the wide decline, the first being the weak ness in the spot markets of the belt and the other the declines in other com modity markets, coupled with the ap- parently general feeling over the coun try that all values were about to be adjusted to lower levels
 More or less damage was done by it to open cotton in the central belt, but not enough damage was done on the whole to make the storm a market fac tor, once it passed over. The English coal labor troubles were an unfavora- ble .influence. as were also the strikes M6ng English cotton mills. Reduc- saens of one-third in tl~s- s9f cot Ion goods in the markets oI tn1s coun- Itry were regarded as bullish influ- ence, but they did not cause much buy ing because they did not stimulate any immediate buying of cotton goods
 This week the market will be bound to pay more attention to statistics than was the case this last week for next Saturday will bring two bureau reports, the final reports of the season on the condition of the growing crop and the second report of the season on ginning
 Private bureau estimates of what these reports will show should color the trading considerably. The condi- ton report will compare with 675 per cent of normal on August 20 of this year. 54.4 on September 25. both last year and the year before. and 63 as the ten-year average. The ginning re- turns will compare with 3.770.611 bales ginaed to September 25 last year and 3511,65S two years ago.

BRIEF ACCOUNT OF
 SU1NDA Y'S SERMONS

never be great adventurers for the faith l until we can sweep the most troubled horizons of our day seeing all the cruel ty, the insanity. the ignorance and blind ness of our world, but seeing deeper than all these the spirit of creative live, and
 higher than all these. the spirit of the
 sovereign God. When we see that. we
 will be able to repeat this shout of the
 spiritual conqueror: 'Hallelujah! for the
 Lord God omnipotent reigneth. "No really intelligent worshipper can
 worship God who is limited in power,
 a God who is good and kind and heart
 broken because the powers arrayed
 against Him are too strong for Him
 to overcome. Many of our amateur
 thinkers, who were driven to new n-
 terests in religion by the horrors and suf-
 ferng of war were able to keep their
 faith in God they tell us. only they
 saw Him waiting to save and deliver
 but unable to do so.
 "Mr. H. G. Wells in his popular novel
 MT, Britling Sees IL Through and in
 his later book, God the Invisible King,
 advocates this view. It has found wide
 acceptance. They say: "If God is like the Christ of the gospels, if He is the loving Father of mankind, He would stop waste and woe if He could If He doesn't it is because He can't Now this is logical vet it is impossible. We simply can't believe in. much less wor- ship a God who is limited and finite. We must be able to say 'Haleluiah! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth' "If man wants his boy to get through his lessons so as not to bother him. he
 will work his arithmetic problems for him. for that is the quickest way. But Inf he wants his boy to learn how to do them for himself he will help, inspire, direct until the lad develops the power to work them for himself. It is all
 question of the power employed. and the end man has in view will always de- termine his choice of power The reason we are feeble and dis couraeed is because we are worshippinr la little God whom we have come to l think as a kind of helpless prisoner Tn the house He has made. We have not heen doing any clear, vigorous think ing. What We need is to rekindle our confidence and courage. to recover the i gospel of the blessed God. to see our God in action.
 Only an infinite being of almighty power could create and redeem a world Of free souls. We can conceive of no
 other purpose worthy of the mind and
 heart of God. It must be true It can not fail"

THE WAGES OF SIN,"
 SERMON BY REV. WALTON

At the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church yesterday morning the Rev. Hew- ard c. Walton preached strong ser mon on the Wages of Sin before large congregation He took as his text: The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 6:23. MT Walton said in part:
 There are two ways leading from time to eternity. First. the way of death. The wages of sin is death. The devil pays death as a wage to his followers. In ad- dtion to death he gives what his follow CTS call a big time, but what is really bait for hell. It is said of the wine in the cup, At last it biteth like serpent and stingeth like an adder The same is true of theft deceitfulness, dishonesty, adul- tery and all sin Oh, lost world. turn from your sins, forsaketh the devil and his ranks and look to Christ, who alone car save
 Second, the way of life. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord The foregoing is a sad pie ture, sader still because it is useless for the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord A gift so freely

READINESS" THEME OF
 SERMON BY REV. s. Q. COKE

Put them in mind to be ready mt, every good work"
 Taking the above as his text Rev. Simeon o. Coxe in forceful sermon be- lore the congregation of the Hand!ey Memorial Presbyterian Church Sunday morning emphasized that the church must first hold itself in readiness for any work that may come it's way be- fore 1t can really be successful in help. ing the progress of the kingdom of God p the world.
 MT. Coxe said in part:
 Tn laying this charge upon our hearts, none could be more consistent than the writer of this letter to Titus. Paul the apostle was pre-eminently a ready man. and practiced his own preachment oe- fore he exhorted others to do so. In every commonplace as well as in every crislS Of his career he proved his reali- ness by deed as we'll as by word
 And, to look into the readiness of this ready man, we shall find first, that he carried in his own breast bur dening sense of mans want--and ruin. apart from Christ, a compassion like unto that of his Loru. As the Savior s heart was melted when he looked upon the multitudes who knew Him not AS Savior, so this man, too looked upon human kind throughout the eyes of his Lord. Thus he is not only able to paint that awful but accurate picture of hu- man kind apart from Christ, but he Is moved by great compassion on their behalf. Nor is this too much to hope that the Christian of today shall feel this same mighty concern for the wretched and otherwise hopeless man of sin; for one of the glories of our re- demption and of our religion is to be made able to think the Savior's thoughts to have His impressions and to feel His impulses. And until then our redemp- tion is woefully imperfect. if not unreal.
 And to this God-like compassion is to be added mighty sense of obligation. I am debtor to all was his way of putt

PAPER FROM CORN
 GOES NEW PROCESS
 FOUND BY CHEMISTS
Valuable Chemicals Are Also Found In Article Hitherto Wasted - Labor Claims
 Defeat of VenabIe
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age e-Horaid
 800 Davidson Buiidina


 Washington, September 26.-(Spe- ciaL)-A highs grade adhesive. a good brand of paper, and lime products can be obtained from the proper treat ment of the ordinary corn cob which has always been regarded as useless. Secretary Meredith O. the department of agriculture, authorizes the follow ing statement as coming officially from him:
 Corn cobs, which. from the begin ming of agriculture in America until now, have been a waste product, are about to become an important raw material in manufacture. Capital at various places is becoming interested in the establishment of cob utiliZa- ton plants. This is all due to a set of discoveries made in the bureau of chemistry by which it was found that the entire content of the corn cob can be made into highly useful articles. From it cur chemists produced a very excellsnt adhesive. After the high grade adhesive is removed, a consid- erable quantity of lower grade prod uct can be made and the residue Is practically pure cellulose, from which it is possible to manufacture a great number of commodities, including a very good quality of paper. Some val uable lime products also are recovered. After all the processes had been worked cut, it was discovered that a considerable quantity of costly chemi- cal-furfural-was being lost. This IS now saved 8 8 by yproduct and an even larger quantity of it can be produced by redistiliation of the adhesive. Be- fore thi1 discovery was made furfural used to sell as high as s20 a pound Furfural is basis intermediary in dye manufacture and in addition is so effective q an insecticide that it was used for that purpose even when it was sold at S20 a pound"

CLAIMS DEFEAT OF
 MERIDIAN MEMBER

Washington, September 2e.--(Spe- cial.)-The American Federation of Labor, in a special bulletin to Wash ing.on correspondents, and a bulletin characterized chiefly by it's boastfu1 spirit, claim credit for the defeat of Representative William w. VenabIe, of the Fifth Mississippi or Meridian district.
 Says the bulletin in part: Labor s non partisan political campaign has scored a notable victory in the defeat of Venable, whose official campa:g gn matter attempted to confuse the pol- cies of the American Fderation of La bor with the aims of socialism.
 "venable was opposed actively and vigorously by ,he labor movement of Mississippi. Upon request, his record compiled by the American Federation of Labor, was sent into the state. His legislative views and the record of his actions in Congress were made known by labor withen the state, with the result TOW known.
