TODAY,S BEST STORY
IN BILLY'S SERMON

Johnston Myers, of Chicago. pas
tor of the Emmanuel Church, had
University of Chicago professor as
superintendent of his Sunday
school.
He would win souls. Why?
The Sunday school teacher one
day went to Myers, instead of the
superintendent, and said, "What am
! going to do with that class OF
young men from high school? Their
teacher has left and ! don't know
who can take the class"
Johnston Myers said, 'What
about that barber thu was convert
ed two weeks ago and had such a
bright testimony in prayer meet
ing?
The University Professor from
Chicago said, what! A barber,
uneducated, talking to those high
school boys! That will never do"
"WeII," Myers said, "Your college
professor that's been talking to
them for years has never brought
any of them into church, and !
don't know whether the barber
could do any worse than that" He
said, "You give him a chance. |
will take the responsibility"
They turned that class of 30-odd
young men over to that barber and
in two months he'd brought every
one of them into the church on con-
fession of their faith in Jesus
Christ.
"He that winneth souls is WISE"

God and would give their heart to
Jesus if you'd open your lips and
show little interest in them. ! think
the ministers and think the officials
ought to get out of the church and
the church members and officers
ought to get out among the people
and try and help win them for Jesus
Christ. That's what you ought to do!
Now, tell them of Christ, tell them
of his power to save, tell them of
the secret of the happy life, tell them
the way to win in life. Everybody
wants to win; everybody is looking
for the best in life. Nobody would
rather be sick than we'll; nobody
would rather be deaf than hear; no.
body would rather be blind than see
nobody would rather go to the pen
itentiary than be free; nobody would
rather go to hell than to heaven.
Everybody is looking for the best.
No man will get out and work for
five dollars day if he can work for
ten dollars day. Not on your life!
Every fellow is looking for the best,
Christianity is
Very Best.
All right, if you are looking for
the best, Christianity is best. 1t is
better to be honest than it is to be
thief; better to love the lord than
it is to hate Him. So, you are looking
for the best. Well, religion is the
best. The Lord don't want you to
do anything that isn't for your good
You are big fool not to want to dc
what God wants you to do, take ii
from me! You are big fool not to
want to do what God wants you to
do, for He never wants you to dc
anything that wouldn't better you ii
you did it, If you ever did anything
that God told you not to do, you were
a big fool You let the lord alone
He knows what you need!

berless organizations and endless ma
chinery have crept in to take from the
individual the responsibility to do il
for God.
No wonder. when many of our sem
inaries minimize, if they do not ig

The devils Business is to inspire
people, by the evil spirit in them, not
to pray. not to be decent and not to
serve God-that all comes from the
devil
Many times l find preachers are
chasing after fads instead of after
souls, instead of trying to win sous
for Christ.
It's my business to talk religion,
but it's no more my business than it
is yours.
One person can set a church on
fire with holy zeal for Jesus Christ,
the same as one match could burn
city.
Personal work is the business of
every minister and every deacon.
Don't crowd out the fellow that
never comes when your own bunch
never asks him to come.
If stand up and preach the truth
and you set there and reject it and
you go to hell, that's up to you
Carry your religion with you just
as you do your hair and clothes
You are big fool not to want to
do what God wants you to do.

is their time and you have got to live
straight if you want to have any
power for God.
When you stop winning souls for
God, you dry up as a Christian.
Too much Of the work done today
is like a squirrel in a cage-lots of
activity but no progress.

Special Gable to THE New YORK IiErAtp.
Copyright, 1929. by THE New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin, Feb. g..
Activities on the Bourse have suffered
the last few days from difficulties in
traffic caused by the railway strike,
which was not without influence upon
business. The dollar and other foreign
currency became weaker.
While the money market was in
rather an apathetic mood, apart from
u slight Improvement in the rate for
the mark, livelier activity prevailed In
the stock market, where the buying ten
dency showed a marked growth. On the
other hand, the public showed no dis
position to get rid Of shares.
All Upper Slcsian coal shares con-
tinued to rise after the Laura shares
had risen Friday by 151 per cent. The
chemical industry and shipping shares
remained virtually unaltered. but the
rise Of Wcsteregein potash continued.
Securities of the steel works in the
Rhinelead and in Westphalia were very
| firm. AS for the rate on the dollar, the
! impression has prevailed that banking
groups cooperating with the Government
tried to hold it down because repara-
tions obligations necessitated renewed
purchases of currency by the German
Government.
| While internal and chiefly foreign po-
| litical considerations decided movements
OH the Boursc throughout January,
financial circles look forward to the
domination OF purely commercial points
of view over activities in February.
A great deal of attention is paid to
tho fact that Silesian Laura cbal shares
have been introduced on the Paris Stock
Exchange through the efforts Of tho
Czecho- SIovalSian Brown Coal King
weinmann. II Is believed Harpener
sharcs will follow Laura's example.
The German banking world also
shows n growing tendency to do more
| direct business abroad than hitherto.
| While some banks arc to open branches
| In London, most of them will establish
| Offices In Vienna. where tho difference
between money rates will be TO Ger
many's advantage. Several financial in
stitutions already have opened branches
| in Holland, but interest Is concentrated
| in Russia, where, II Is expected. a con-
| siderable number OF branches of German
banks will be soon established. 1t is
! illustrative Of the pace OF expansion In
German banking business overseas since
the armistice that the German Over
| seas Bank, which ls connected closely
with the Dentsches Bank. is reported TO
be planning great overseas transactions.
They are, however. to take place In the
immediate future, when their farreach-
ing effect upon the Bourse Is expected.
Financial prophets also predict sharp
rise in shares OF the German textile in
dustry Textile factories In Germany
are az work under n pressure OF orders
never heard OF before Many have been
| forced to refuse further orders.

IN Y. M. G. A. LECTURE
His Point of View Will Be the

and Harry A. Kahler. president Of the
New York Title and Mortgage Com
pany. will be the presiding officer.
Regarding the topic or the evening,
Mr.. Guerrlich says: II think that the
brokers' occupation is profession
rather than business. While to a large
extent he is engaged in selling real
estate in one form or another. he carries
no stock of merchandise. has no sub
stantial capital investment. His value
to the community and his success are In
dfcated by the word service
Certain qualifications are necessary

Initiative. energy, memory. The broker
must have in addition to these person
ality, tact and experience. And. of
course, he should have great deal of
technical knowledge. Much Of this teci-
nical knowledge will come to him by
giving close attention to the other LED
turos in this course. More will come t8
him In practice.
Briefly intend to speak Of the
brokers' general equipment. such as
vision. memory, persistence. and moro
In detail about some of the results OF
experience. such as the initiation OF new
business and the guidance Of nego-
tiation through to. a successful conclu-
sion."
Enrollments for the homo ownership
course, whic, is announced to begin
February II, have greatly exceeded thu
expectations OF the East Side Y. NJ. G.
AS educational committee which has
charge OF 1t. An exhibit in connection
with the course is on display at the
Grand Central Station and the sessions
will be held in the station through the
courtesy Of the New York Central Rail-
road.
The enthusiasm over this course. which
Is the first of it's kind in the country
and which Is promoted in connection
with the own your home movement and
in cooperation with the United Y. NJ.
G. A. schools and the Home Owners
Service Institute. indicates the broad
interest in home ownership. The home
seeking public has never before been
able to secure such unbiased informa-
tion covering every phase Of its buying
and building problems.

tects. builders. building materials asso-
