DIR. HENRY EDM0NDSr TALKS ON THE GUEST AS CHRISTMAS SERMON

With the stage of the Lyric theatre appropriately decorated in honor of Christmas Eve. and a fine musical program. with the chorus of 50 trained voices, in especially good form, Sun day nights service under the auspices of the Independent Presbyterian church proved especially interesting to the large audience.
 Among the numbers rendered by the chorus were the anthems Halle lujah," by Sir George Elveyi "The In- fant Jesus" by Pietro A. ion; an An cient Bohemian Christmas Song" as arranged by Biederman, and the clos ing selection was the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handers oratorio, '"rhe Messiah"
 Following the close of the night service the chorus in a body, joined by others, visited the city and county jails and brought cheer to the in- mates of these two institutions with songs and hymns.
 The Guest" was the subject of Dr. Henry M. Edmc nds. pastor of the In- dependent Presbyterian church, at the night service, and in picturing Christ as "The Guest" pr. Edmonds said in part:
 "Christnas is the celebration of the coming of the worlds great Guest. He is here, but all of His own have not received Him yet. He waits out side of every home and every heart, Peep through the pane where the crisp hclly hangs and see Him stand ing there. Do not look at His face yet or the tears will blind your eyes so that you cannot see to open the door.
 Tt makes no difference what ycu lack to make this a perfect Christ mas, He who stands at the door has it. He will bring 1t in when He en- ters. It is a great deal to say, but it is perfectly true. All that has ever been hoped or dreamed about guests is true, abundantly true about the One now standing at the door.
 "Christmas will be to you the birth day of new life if you have Him to come in."
 The morning service at the new church at Highland avenue and Thir- ty-first street, was featured by a strong sermon on Peace" in honor of Peace Day" as requested by the International Council of Church Or ganizations and the Federated Coun- cil of Churches, the text being the song of the angels IS found in Luke ii:14. Glory to God in the highest; peace on earth, and goodwill to all men"

Further Evidence of Short Crop Given in Census Re- port of 9,493, ,296
 Full Bales
By Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 24.-The range of prices in the cotton market last week was narrow, the trading months moving over only 43 to 5l points, and at times a holiday feeling was in evidence, but for the most part prices were very steady. and the market received solid support. Be- cause of this the year-end liquidation of the long interest. natural under the circumstances, did not have any great effect. At the highest of the week prices were 61 to 72 points over the close of the preceding week: at the lowest they were still IS tG 23 points over. The close was at net gains of 50 to 62 points. January clos ing at 25. ssc, after having traded as low as 25.47 and as high as 25. BOG a pound. In the spot department prices gained 50 points on middling, which closed at 26c a pound against 15c on the close of this week last year.
 The main sustaining influences of the week were the further evidence of small supply for the season, the census bureau reporting only 9.4ss,- 296 bales ginned to December 1S. and signs of an increasing demand upon the mills, especially for the first quar- ter of 1923. Some strength was de- rived from reports from the eastern belt that the continued exodus Of me- gro labor from cotton growing dis tricts had reached alarming propor- tions and was already having it's ef- feet on acreage plans for next season. This week Will open Tuesday morn ing and will close Friday evening, and trading in consequence is likely te be somewhat restricted. At the same time 1t is fairly apparent that the near future must bring serious consideration of the extent of con- sumption for this season and the probabilities for the new crop.
