Business and stocks.

That the stock market is not at present
discounting the business boom is gather
ing headway every day and probably
will reach it's peak next Spring is due

market is almost certain to feel the
effects of the prosperity resulting from
good crops and increased production.

CHRIST VS.. CAESAR.
neV' 10y nj. HOughtOn, Recently Re
turned from Europe, Says Two Ide ,Is
Struggle for Mastery.

; A recent issue of the New Haven
journal Courier published an extended
account of sermon preached by Rev.
hoy M. Houghton, pastor of the Church
oi the heSieemer, formerly pastor of tn,
centre 20 ngregational church here, in
when he expressed his faith in Christian
iy 10 prev ent another woHld war.
lev, Mr. Houghton who returned early
~ ~ september from tour of Europe, said
ehere are two conflicting ideals struggling
lor mastery--One the Christian ideal
Which recognizes the leadership of Jesus
Thirst and places devotion to Him above
all other interests, and the other the idea
OF selfish, materialistic nation,llism
which exalts race above humanity and
finds its only security i n the implements
Of war. He says it is the age-long con-
flict between Christ ard Caesar and if
the latter ideals dominate there is no
hope for the civilization of Europe. The
only hope for Europe is the dominance
of the Christian ideal.
lie declares that il is because our
minds are armed that material arma-
ments linger on the field. The greatest
enemies to Europe and o the world are
lurking fears, suspicious and want of
confidence. He appeals for mental dis
armament in the confer ence and in all
the churches. Christian eople are called
to greater loyalty to u heir churches in
attending the servic, ., in learning the
mind OF Christ, and in making Christ's
spirit the ruling mott we of peoples lives.
Eun0pe can be- saved only by the spirit
OF Christ, he declare y.

these days when SO many young men are
giving so much attention to physical de-
slopment, in gymnastic and athletic ex.
Ell clses, that there cannot be permanent
