MINISTER TALKS
|. ON DUAL NATURE
Rev. Mordecai Discusses
DIR. Jekyl And Mr..
Hyde

The constant battle going on in the
hearts of men was described BY Rev.
Il. p. Mordecai in. his Sunday evening
sermon at the First Presbyterian
church, speaking on the subject, DIR.
Jekyll and MIR. Hyde"
In bringing out his points, Rev. Nor
decai explained that every man has
two natures. one evil and the Other
good. and that the startling transitions
az n. Il. Stevenson's book are but ex-
aggerated stories Of the struggles IN
our daily lives.
Excerpts of Rev. Mordecai's sermon
follow:
There is nothing new. The Bible
not only emphasized spiritual guidance,
but anticipates the discovery OF modern
psychology. For what psychology IS say
ing today, the inspired writers OF the
Holy Scriptures said hundreds OF years
ago.
1.-THE facts and experiences Of men
are the same, but today we couch them
in modern language. In Romans 1:zl,
Paul is speaking of indisputable facts,
which today are brought under the
careful scrutiny of scientific inyestiga-
ton.
sit is a fact that there are two reia-
lively different natures housed IN khe
same body; two persons, a good ana
bad, and angel and a devil, one pure
and the other vile, one gentle and. the
other british, and in the great field
of human consciousness, these two per-
sons fight for supremacy.
''This fact has been the basis for
some Of the worlds greatest novels,
such as. Hawthorne's Frederick Ellis
toni" Edgar Allen Poe's William VIII
SON" and Stevenson's "Dr. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde"
"The truth which lis empasized in
these is that there seems to be some
sinister influence, which impells man
to evil and drives him down into the
slime. For we have a higher nature,
which we might call DIR. Jekyll and
a lower, called Mr.. Hyde.
.And whenever we yield to envy,
greed or jealousy, there stands before
us the grinning face Of Mr. Hyde, an
influence essentially sinister and fund
amentally wicked"

GERMAN LOAN
TO MEAN BOOST
TO WORLD TRADE
Signing OF Agreement is
Chief Market Factor
OF Week
BY EDWARD j. CONDLON
lRY Leased Wire 10 Age Heraldl

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE week
just completed has been fraught with
uncertainties The improvement in gem
eral trade has been irregular and in
some respects disappointing, in that
many lines of business have Jagged far
behind. On the whole, the outlook is
distinctly favorable. 1t Is true that the
commodity markets have been exceed
ingly nervous, wheat and cotton both
showing declines for the week, but what
should have a more far-reaching effect
on business in general Is the signing OF
the German loan.
The signing of the German loan by
the Allied governments. Germany and
the international bankers, terminates a
long period Of waiting, during which
time the chaos in Europe has doomed.
The offering of the $110. 000,000 por-
.tion of the 5000, 900, 600 loan in the
United States this week should mark the
turn in world affairs from uncertainty
and even stagnation, to stability and
progress.
Industries to Borrow
Germany will be able to reconstruct
its banking and credit system which
viii tend to increase borrowing by Ger
name industrial concerns, which, OF
course, will increase the demand for
raw materials. The copper companies
are counting on greatly increased pur-
chases by, Germany as soon as the IL
nancial machinery Is set up, and 1t Is
logical to state that other Important
industries In this country VIII be ds-
rectly benefited. -
There is danger, however, that the
comparatively easy money rates now
ruling will encourage speculative inter-
ests TO participate to a fuller extent In
the security and commodity markets
with the net results that prices will be
grossly inflated ana the potential de.
mand of Europe left unsatisfied through
inability to pay the prices asked here.
AT present there appears to be a ten
dency in that direction in commodities
just as there was in securities In the
late summer,
Farmers Enter Market
A glance at the business reviews for
the week reveals that merchants are re-
ceiying the benefit OF very strong
demand for goods from farmers. De-
spite the high prices received for grains,
the farmers are buying very cautiously.
1t is quite evident that the farmers
have not forgotten the hard times of
three years ago when banks were re-
fusing loans and grain was often mar
keted to the decided disadvantage Of the
grower.
Perhaps the most outstanding feature
Of the grain situation Is the speed with
which crops are being moved, with the
result that the northwestern railroads
are breaking all records for car load
ings and earnings for this season of the
year. The movement has assumed
larger proportions in the southwest,
where farmers at first were inclined to
hold back for higher prices. IN Kansas,
this year in the front rank of the
wheat growing states, 1t Is estimated
that more than so per cent Of. the wheat
has left producers hands.
