NOW is THE TIME FOR BUYING.

A calm analysis of the business
monotonous undertaking for the aver
man, but ii behooves him, and his
good wife too, who is the purchaser,
10 glance at conditions and to make
a little hay while the opportunity
lasts. Higher prices are at hand and
buying opportunity is pounding in
stead of knocking at the door. Buy
now. The Department of Agriculture
predicts a falling of the winter wheat
crop and this spells higher prices.
Then the DEPARTMENT. of Commerce
points out that we are now shipping
abroad two billion dollars worth of
cotton, wheat and other farm prod
ucts. which is twice the amount of
prosperity is facing the six million
farmers of the country. The world
is crying for American food stuffs.
Until Russia is ~reorganized and its in
dustries co-ordinated, and that must
be some years away, the world must
look to America to supply the 10,000,-
300 tons of grain and other farm prod
ucts that Russia exported. The cot
ton shipments are increasing at an as
founding rate, and prices are rising.
Tobacco shipments are mounting and
so are prices. Meats are in greater
foreign demand and you can trust the
meat trust to take care of the prices
so far.as they are concerned. Indeed
every indication is for a steady in
crease in prosperity, but with it will
come higher prices, Wise mel and
wise women will look about them and
do their shopping early. Those who
continue the so-called buyers strike
are weaving a rope with which to
hang themselves.

the floors of assemblies and lodges,
business and political meetings, and
social gatherings where men live and
where they could stand on the floors
of such meetings, expose evil, defend
virtue, and advocate righteousness.
Fourth: InfideIity. They have yield
ed to the Goddess of Heresy, and have
made a direct attack upon the infalli-
BILE Word of God and the blood atone
ment of Jesus Christ. Such men are
undermining the faith of the young
and unsophisticated saints and are
sending thousands adrift into skep-
ticism and sin. Such men are para
sites. They are drawing salaries
fr%audulently because they contracted
to preach the infallible Word of God
and the vicarious atonement of Jesus
Christ. They are preaching some
thing else. Therefore, such conduct
is dishonest. Such men are largely
responsible for the rise of the infa-
mou cults and the spread of irrever-
ence, frivolity, improperly, domestic
i%nfdelity. religious infidelity, apostasy,
and general social criminality.
If the preachers were preaching
faithfully, fearlessly, c~ourageously, the
whole Gospel of Jesus Christ, and
were exposing crime, demanding con-
fession, and bringing men face to face
with the judgment of their deeds, the
crime wave of this country would sub
side at once, and a great revival of
religion would begin.
The pettifogging, heretical, spines
less, r~ationalistic. infidelic preachers
of the country are responsible for the
social conditions of this land.

FREDERICK {. ROOT HURT.

Struck by a car of the Shore Fast
Line about 4.45 on Monday afternoon,
a Ford delivery truck driven by Fred
erick E. Root, of Somers Point, was
totally demolished and Mr.. Root was
badly injured. He suffered a broken
collar bone and several scalp lacera-
tons. He was taken to his home and
treated by DR.. George Ralston.
The accident happened al the Ocean
Heights avenue crossing. Mr.. Root
was delivering bread for an Atlantic
City bakery at the time. 1t was claim
ed that the signal did not work and
he was unaware of the approach of
the a as he started to drive across
the track. While painfully injured,
his injuries are not necessarily seri-
Gus.

GUILTY

The Christian pulpit is the highest
place on earth. 1t is the only I'M
trammeled, unpurchasable throne in
the world. The preacher, if he be a
real preacher, is God-called, God-flled.
diyinely fitted, and systematically
commissioned His authority and
message are of supernatural origin.
Therefore, he is decreed to be a lead
er. II he meets these divine require
ments he is an expert in his exalted
position. When ever a minister of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ and His vicari-
GUS death steps out of this exalted
place and fails to perform his duty as
a courageous leader and fearless de-
fender of the faith delivered once for
all to the saints, he becomes guilty
and must be held responsible for all
the ills that result from his failure.
There are ministers who have, no
doubt, stepped from this high respon-
sible place and they are therefore
guilty of all the evils of the country
that have come as a direct result of
their actions. Such ministers are
~chargeable with the following defects:
First: laziness. They do not work,
not even half time. Their sermons
show it. Their fences are down.
Their churches are u%norganized. They
do not take any part in the civic life
of their communities.
Second: They are coWards. They
are afraid to speak plainly, pointedly,
and persistently against the sins of
their members. They are far from be-
ing like John the Baptist. They do
not demand respect and attention
from men because they do not meet
men and challenge them in their evil
doings. They do not stand like brave
men should stand-face to face with
a guilty brother and accuse him.
Third: Busy ldleness. They are en-
gagged in attending pink teas, and
foolish female functions, whereas they
should be in the marts of trade, on

PAY SIS, 100000 A DAY TO SUFFER.

Now is the time for the government
to dig out actual facts regarding the
coal situation. 1t is worse than child
ish to go on year after year grinding
the public between the neither mill
astones-it is vicious. The present
strike is costing S., 000,0 900 a day, and
the reward of this sacrifice is public
suffering. The charge is fatty made
that the average net income of 31,979
miners in the Central Pennsylvania
district in 1921 was $3.50. This means
that a miner must provide for the
supper of his family on $14.60 a
week. 1t may be all very well to state
that the men work only 122 days a
year, which is two and one-third days
a week and therefore their rate of
pay is excessive, but if these be the
facts then the problem is n of UNI
employment rather than of wages, and
it should be approached from that an
gle An industry that employs vast
armies of men for a third of each
week and cannot keep them employed
the rest of the time needs some
kind of reorganization. The situation
breeds discomfort and when the pc
culiar characteristics of foreign labor
are considered sometimes worse than
that. Plain facts stand out and will
not be denied. First in the handling
of a great national necessity, it is evil
dent that the private owners of the
coal mines make vast sums of money
and the men who dig the wealth from
the ground are compelled to face star
walton or next to it. 1t seems futile
to suggest a commission of inquiry
unless there be put behind such a
commission means of enforcing its
findings. The American commission
of Inquiry has come to be the joke of
the world. The former Attorney Cen
eral, Mr.. Palmer, a testify to that.
Surely, however, the country is not
in such a supine condition that it a n
not solve the coal problem.

Traced THROUGH Correspondents.

Lawyers and others whose business
it is to find missing heirs to I'M
claimed fortunes declare that women
are much more difficult to trace than
men, owing to their change of name
at marriage. They are, however, more
ready to keep up correspondence with
girl friends of their youthful days, and
they often have cause to bless these
old remembrances.
