CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR TOPIC
The Inner and the Outer.
2 Cor. 4: 1918; Sam. 16: GLIB

2 Cor. 4: 1918; 1 Sam. 16: GLIB.
The old saying goes "There are two
sides to every question" We could moi
judge fairly until we had heard both
sides. So our lives have two sides
the inside and the outside and we can
not judge a person until we know
something of both sides.
Let us first discover which of these
sides is the important and why.
OUTER
Our lesson tells us that the things
which are seen are temporal, earthly,
lasting only through this life. Nothing
pertaining to the outer life can be car
ried with us into that great beyond.
Outward man will eventually decay,
all that was once fine and beautiful
will return to the dust from whence
it came.
We are all interested to some extent
in ourselves, our health, our personal
appearance, our success in the world.
This is right that we should be con-
cerned about the body God has given
us but too often the outer side of life
is given more consideration than the
inner and it is here that the great mis-
take is made. Why should this be?
Perhaps because we feel that others
with whom we come in contact can
see more clearly the outward appear
ances but remember the words of Je-
hovah to Samuel, "man looketh on the
outward appearances but God lOoketh
on the heart" Il Sam. 1870. David
was not selected by Jehovah to be an
ointed by Samuel on account of his
splendid countenance but because his
inward life was pure and good.
Reputation is the result Of the out
ward life but reputation is not what
counts in the sight of God.
INNER
AS the things which are seen are
temporal so the things which are not
seen are eternal, infinite, everlasting.
The inner man, the soul is Gods and
will live forever. Every day every deed
that we do is having its effect on our
inner life, either for good or for evil.
God is watching the inner life because
it is that which we take with US be-
yond the grave.
Character is the completed building |
made by putting thoughts and deeds
together. What VIII our building be?
Our inward lives will show in our
appearance. No man can be
truly good at heart unless his very
features show the result of this good |
ness. His features may not be hand
some or regular, his body may not be
perfectly formed or proportioned but |
if his inward life is in accord with
God every line of his face will show
forth the joy Of life in tune with
God.
Christian Endeavor helps us to de-
velop the inner life. How? First, by
trusting in our Lord Jesus Christ for
We cannot put our trust in
Him without our souls are benefited
by this contact. Prayer and Bible
reading is one of the powerful means
by which our characters are made
stronger. Christian Endeavor teaches
us to lead a life of service. Thought
fulness of others will help us better
our own lives. Can we not see how
much more important the inner life
is than the outer? Then let us resolve
now in the days of our youth to make
our plans and lay the foundation for
a beautiful, useful inner life and the
outer life will take care of itself.

I PROPOSAL to Increase
Refrigerating Charge
From Florida Blocked

WASHINGTON, Dec. lex
press company proposals to increase
by Is per cent charges now paid by
Florida growers of citrus fruit and
vegetables for refrigerating their
product en- route to northern con-
Stunning territory, were held unrea
sonable today by the interstate COM
merce commission.
The Fruit Growers Express COM
pany, which owns most of the refrig-
GRAFTON equipment nthe service of
the Florida growers, was ordered to
maintain present rates until further
notice. The increases proposed by
the express company have never
been in effect, having been suspended
by the interstate commerce commits
sion August upon complaint of the
shippers.
The increase in refrigeration
charges was attempted by the ex-
press company, the decision said, to
cover alleged increased costs.

Federal Sleuths Join
Hunt for Leo Koretz,
In Panama Oil Fraud

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Two groups
of officers, each armed with war
rants, were on the trail today of
Leo koretz, notorious oil swindler.
While one group carried a federal
warrant charging use of the mails to
defraud, another bore a state war
rant charging fraud and larceny.
Authorities were interested today
in a report that Koretz is hiding in
Chicago. An apartment III which he
is said 9to have been seen as late as
Monday fthis week was being
watched by squad of detectives.
Meanwhile committee of four
important stockholders in Koretz's
mythical "Bayano River Trust Of
Panama" returned from an inspect
ing expedition" to Panama. They had
been sent by Koretz to inspect the
company's holdings and report
back" to the other stockholders. AS
they aighted from q train after a
four-weeks' trip, they said there was
no "Bayano River Trust" in Pana-
ma. They said they found nothing
but an alligator swamp and none of
the alligatOrS SpOuted oil.

FUNDAMENTALISTS CHARGE
LIBERALS WITH EMISSIONS

thinking people within the folds Of
religion"
The modernists are claiming many
influential supporters, both among
the clergy and laity, but they real
ize that the fight ahead of them is
to he a long one. Some go so far
AS to say it may be fifty years be-
fore their ideas prevail.
Modernist fires are burning most
brightly in the Episcopal, Presbyte-
rian and Baptist churches, but some
of the modernists are claiming the
idea is spreading to some of the
younger priests of the Roman Cath
Ole church. 1t is frankly admitted,
however, that the movement is not
expected to make much Roadway in
the Church of Rome. The discip-
line there is too strict and the
church organization is more closely
knitted together than in the prot
estant denominations.

RATE CUT SAVES
FLORIDA SHIPPERS
100000 4 YEAR:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Dec. 10
The state railroad commission today
received official notice from Wash
ington that the interstate commerce
commission holds that the proposed
increased refrigeration charges on
citrus fruit and vegetable shipments
out of Florida have not been justified
by the carriers and ordered the can
collation. of suspended schedules by
January IS, on one. days notice.
Cancellation of the suspended tar
ifs, it is estimated, will save Flor
ida shippers in the' neighborhood OF
100000 annually The decision
comes as the elimination of long,
hard fight by the Florida railroad
commission, and is considered one of
the most important victories for the
shipping interests of the state in re-
cent years.
In the efforts to defeat the in
creases proposed by the carriers,
which were suggested in tariffs that
were to have become effective last
August 10. the state railroad COM
mission was given the full CO-opera-
ton and support of perishable ship
perS.
In their protest against the in
creases, the railroad commissioners
declared in arguments presented to
the interstate commerce commission
that the schedules contained in the
proposed supplemental tariff, if per
mitted to become effective, would
advance refrigeration charges on
fruits and vegetables from produc-
ing points in the state to destined
markets in the United States and
Canada about 1876 per cent, and
thus lay burden of approximately
one-half million dollars annually
upon the fruit and vegetable indus
try of Florida which burden such
! industry can not bear.

Federal Farm Loan Body
Points This as Only Sound
Basis for Prosperity
Among Growers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-The
federal farm loan board urged the
farmers of the country today to turn
to Investigation of crops and the
development of cooperative market
ing as "the only sound basis for
agricultural prosperity"
Basing it's observations on data
supplied by the twelve federal land
bank presidents who have just con-
cluded their winter conference here,
the board said in q statement that
conditions in the agricultural indus
try showed a very satisfactory i'm
provement," but it felt that full
ADVANTAGE of the situation might not
be taken by the farmers unless they
diversified crops and organized for
their sale.
The information furnished by the
land bank officials gave every rea-
son. the statement said, for the be-
lief that the Improvement noted IN
the last year would continue.
Collections were described as salts
factorily in most all sections and
this was accepted as indicating that
the farmers are getting on their feet
financially.
Hard Times" Not General
Horticultural conditions on the
whole" the statement added, con
tinue to improve, although there are
sections which on account Of partial
crop failure, the low price of the
principal crop or scarcity of labor
are not prosperous. These, of course,
include only a fractional part OF the
total farming area. The fruit grow
ers ard cattle raiSers appear to be
the most unfortunate. The wheat
farmer, on the whole, has not had
Il prosperous year.
There is every reason, however,
to believe that this improvement will
continue. The most encouraging part
Of the report to the board is the
| tendency throughout the United
States to diversity farming. 1t is our
belief that diversification and coop
erative marketing furnish the only
sound basis of agricultural pros
perity."
Farm Loan Commissioner Cooper
summarized conditions in the land
bank districts as follows:
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida:
General agricultural conditions are
better than for the last three years.
In North Carolina, the production OF
cotton, corn and soy beans was good
with a favorable market. South Car
DINA had cotton crop of 40 per cent
IN excess of last year.
Report on Georgia
Conditions in northern Georgia
were improved but in the southern
part of the state cotton production
was greatly reduced by boil weevil
damage and excessive rainfall. This
same condition obtains in western
