ARMY DEVELOPED
LEADERS IN SONG
May Be Found Now In Almost
Every Corner of the
Land.

Good, rousing congregational sing
ing in which everyone jci1s. cid and
young regardless OF any unusual
ability to sing. is always an acnnisi-
tion to a church. to It's service. 10 the
parish, and is. therefore, mach TO be
desired. This is self-ev,dent tru'h
and, therefore, needs no iHfense nor
proof nor comentsry. Hence II should
be necessary acquisition to II church
and nothing should be .ett undone
till excellent hymn-singing is main
tanned not only in your parish, in
my parish, but in every parish OF the
country.
Never before was anything like this
practical on "A national scale. and
now, instead of the church be con-
fronted with a theory on this impor-
tant subject. all she has to do is to
take advantage Of facts-take advan-
tase of the massed-singing idea which
has fairly swept the country In the
past four years. and more important
than this, take advantage OF the sing
ing army created during the war.
And in his connection it must not be
forgotten that there was developed
thousands OF song-leaders in the
army. and the names and addresses
of all these song-leaders are obtain
able. II is not loo much to say.
therefore, that in every parish in the
land there may now be found song
leader available. This training OF
song-leaders was also extensively
gone into by the Y. NJ. c. A., and
they, too. have their lists Of men in
every county in the Uuited States.
These facts then at once suggest
practical constructive action, the
value of which in the minds of a
great many is so great and priceless
that the possession of the opportunity
to develop wonderful congregational
singing everywhere is like the poses
sion OF a rare jewel.

COTTON.

New York, Aug. 4.-Fluctuations
in cotton were extremely irregular
today but the general average of
sentiment remained bearish and
rallies were not all held, prices
sagging every time the demand
slackened. Initial quotations were
IA points lower to 26 points higher.
October and December, however,
were relatively firm late in the
morning, being 10 to 81 points
net higher, while other deliveries
were down to Is points.
The publication of the weekly re-
port was followed by increased Of
ferings toward the noon hour, which
sent October and December to 81
points and later deliveries some 2S
to 35 points net lower.
A covering movement in the early
afternoon, which carried October e.
points, December 65 points and
January so points above the early
low levels, Renewed selling then
set in and the list eased about 20
points. Late in the day an i'm
provement in foreign exchange was
a steadying factor, but on all raj
lies offerings increased and re-
coveries were not fully maintained.
The market finally was steady at
net advance of 25 points to a de-
cline of rs points.
Spot here was quiet and un-
changed at 3s.5Oc for middling.
There were no sales.
Spot at New Orleans was 50
