REV. s. 0. COKE SPEAKS
 ON NEED OF THE CHURCH

Declaring that the great need of the church today is to realize that its real purpose is to bring men and women into living touch with Christ, Rev simon o. O.sCoxe, pastor of the Handley Memorial Presbyterian Church, in a forceful sermon Sunday morning tol1 of the wonder in the touch of Jesus Christ MT. Coxe took as his text the lines from the book of Mathew, Be of good cheer, thy faith has made thee whole.
 Reciting the experiences of Christ in His own city when He went about cur ing the sick and raising the dead with but a touch of His hand, MT. Coxe de- clared that the touch of Christ was more needed today in the world than ever before and that Jesus was as will ing to render His touch to those who would receive it as He was when He cured those that were about Him in His own city.
 Although Christ with His touch cured the leper and made the lame walk. He performed the miracles without display, seeming not to do these things for the sake of the body but that He might show himself capable of the larger min istry-the curing of souls-that He might show himself to be the Great Physician.
 "The Id is conscious today of it's need for e touch of the Great Physi- clan" sait JMr Coxe Never is the his- tory of the world has the healing touch been so needed. Although there is hardly country in the world that is without hundreds of churches, those in- dividuals who are living in close touch with Christ are becoming fewer ana fewer.
 "The church has been working in the wrong way It has been attempting to reach the kingdom of God by the wrong highway. The church of today is work ing to introduce man to Christianity, to a reliigon, to a feellowship, while 1t is neglecting the all-important object which is to bring man into closer touch with Christ himself.
 Every knowing one, evey disclple' IS an agent to bring his fellowman's heart close to Jesus Christ so that He may effect the great cure. We are all agents to bring man into this closer touch with Christ, because if we have teen touched by the healing hand it is our duty and desire to bring the hearts of others closer to the hand of Christ. That this church have as it's mission to bring mems souls to companionship with Jesus is my prayer.

|, the pleasure automobiles But there is no question of the fundamental impor- tance of the oil industry. It enters into manufactures of all kinds. The demand
 for oil for fuel purposes has increased so greatly as to astonish some of the lead-
 CTS in the oil industry. The remarkable increase in the digging of new wells which has taken place within q year or two is also regarded as' evidence of tho importance of this industry. Not the least ! important of the various industrial prod-
 ucts made possible by the refining of oil IS fabrication. An estimate made year ago by Walter Clark Teagle. president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jer- sey. that at least 10 per cent of all the oil products Is converted into lubricating oil would now be regarded as an under statement, for it is recognized that unless there be adequate fabrication then the entire industry of the United States. as well as the railroad, would be brought to a standstill.
 THE COPPER INDUSTRY Although the copper industry is some what depressed yet the reason for thls condition is not due to any lack of de-
 mand, but to other causes which are believed to be only temporary.
 Labor and overhead charges have greatly increased the cost of production Transportation difficulties also have re- tarded the industry. On the other hand the evidence is plentiful that the world demand for copper and for some or the by-products is to be very large at least for the next two or three years. For ln- stance, in various parts of Germany American copper companies are aiready doing considerable business, chiefly, how ever in the by-products. The copper ln- dustry is to be maintained and American capital will continue to be invested Tn copper mining properties in other parts of the world.
 Cotton might properly be inciuoeu among the agricultural products. In fact some of the by-products of cotton are De- ginning to furnish food for cattle ana Tn the form of vegetable oil suitable for table purposes. Therefore, inquiry shoWs that the agricultural industry or the United States, including cotton, IS 10 De of such magnitude because of such boun- tiful crops this year as to estaphsn a
 satisfactory basis for industrial pros
 perity of all kinds and also to furnish
 the men of agriculture more dollars TOT
 their products than they have ever De- fore in single year. The view taken
 bv Judge Gary respecting the fundamen- tal American industries is regarded as sound, and if these industries maintain and increase prosperity there is no ques- | tion about the rest of the business ana

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New Orleans, September 12.-Irregu- lar ma rl<ets and wide fluctuations at tended the trading in cotton last week with the trend higher most of the time as the result of the covering operations among an extensive short interest. Tn this covering shorts in October LOOK the most prominent part and that posi- ton led the remainder of the list at all times. On the opening session there
 was a bulge of s10 bale and further bulges occurred later, except that the market was lower in a decided way on the closing session as the logical result of week of bullish operations.
 At the highest levels the trading months were 2o5 to S24 points over the close of the preceding week, Oc- tober touching 2S.0O. The close was at ret gains of 10 to PA points, October showing the widest gain and May the least October closed at 27.20, and May at 2270. Spots gained 50 points on the week, middling closing at 2s.25.
 Weather and crop news was unfa- vorable during the greater part of the week, but toward the close the weather took a decided turn for the better, the
  cry on the weather map while the probabilities were for continued set tied weather. In the interior spots were inclined to weaken toward the end 1 and on the last day of the week some markets in the western belt were off as much as 100 points The course of prices during the new week probably l will depend largely on spot ana ! weather accounts. It is likely that 1 prices would advance very strongly on i a renewalS of bad weather or on re- | ports of good spot demand, and ! equally proba ble that a decline would i ensue from continued favorable weather or increased spot offerings.
 ! A feature of interest this week Will 1 be the mid d-month returns on the con ] dition of the growing crop from pri- vate bureaus. It seems to be quite gen. orally settled in the minds of most traders that September crop deteriora-
