man of that sort may well rise to
higher heights and Jesus tugged him
up with the $50 thy way; thy son liv-
eth" The man knew that if there
were power to help in any man it is
only because he is true so he would
risk His word, signless save to his
soul. Looking into that face, he knew
that if Jesus said it it was true and
he swung back into the chariot and
leisurely drove away. Belief is a
map, faith is voyage" and he was
safely launched upon it.
THE FAITH FOR JESUS.
Jesus must have a faith that He
may use for His purposes in His
world if He will fail as completely
as He did at Nazareth. There must
be some channel thru which He may
transmit His power and mans faith
determines the boundary of the king
dom in which He reigns. The doctor
prescribes a remedy and l take it,;
presently he suggests another and
l refuse my consent; his power is
limited by my trust in his knowledge
and he becomes helpless. Jesus is
just as helpless outside the range Of
my willingness to trust Him. And
He is able to use my submitted will,
my active faith in Him to reach thru
me to another. | create a realm in
which He may manifest His power.
This anxious man found that at the
very hour when he provided the me-
dunn his boy began his recovery. 1t
was not the boys faith, but his faith
er's, that is the means pointed out
in the story. And that is one of the
surprises of the Gospel, this success
Of vicarious faith. In that very town
when pressed by the throng four men
broke thru the roof and laid the sick
man at His feet. Jesus, looking up
and seeing their faith" said unto
the sick, "Your sins are forgiven
thee" In the case of Jarius it was
not the faith of the little girl any
n re than it was in that of the widow
of Mains boy. The urgent prayer
of the Syropheonician mother was
not for herself but when she reached
home 'the devil was gone out of her
daughter" When the centurion beg
ged for his servants healing in the
hour of his masters faith, "the SER
want was healed" At the foot of
Hermon it was the father who pray
ed, Lord, l believe; help Thou my
unbelief," and the boy was the one
affected My high glory my be in
allowing Jesus to use my faith in
Him not for myself but for Him and
for giving Him His chance to save
some one that I take upon my heart,
whose need l share.

COTTON MARKET IS REACTIONARY
Sharp Reductions Follow Big Advance Of
 Last Week

NEW YORK, April 1.-The big ad- vance of last week was followed by sharp reactions in cotton market to- day. May broke to 29.32c, a decline of 107 points from the closing quota ton of Saturday and 143 points from the high level of Saturday morning. That delivery closed at 2945c with the general market closing. steady at net declines of .126 points on August and 66 to 94 points on other positions.
 The opening was easy at q, decline of 36 to A points in response to .rela- lively easy Liverpool cables and fa- vorable weather map. After selling out 60 to 80 points net lower the mar ket rallied 20 or 25 points from the lowest on bullish southern spot advances and covering. Demand failed to broaden, however, and there was re- newal of heavy general liquidation dur ing the afternoon when houses with Wall street and New Orleans conec- tions were. particularly active sellers. Expectations that better weather ill the south would be followed by rapid prog ress with farm work seemed largely responsible for the, disposition to take profits following recent extended ad- Hance.
 July broke to 2S.20c and October to 24.75c. The close was within to F points of the lowest.

WHEAT MARKET
 GIVEN SETBACK
Decline Is Due To Weak ness At Liver
 pool

CHICAGO, April 7,-Wheat un- derwent setback today largely as the result of decline at Liverpool this morning, despite strength here Satur- day. Chicago closing quotations were weak K to 1c net lower; May, SlOZ9s
 to $1.O2as @1.02h and July, $lO3S to S1.O4. Corn finished 3z to 1ac down, oats "a shade to 1l4c off and provisions varying from unchanged figures to loc decline.
 Although the decline of wheat at Liverpool was associated with an ad- vance in sterling exchange the apparent absence of demand for wheat exporters on, this side of the Atlantic had re- straining effect on other buyers and there was a noticeable lack of fhe-ag- gressive purchasing which character ized Saturdays market. Furthermore the fact that wheat was being sold to go into store here and was being bought in the west for shipment to Chi icago had an evident bearish influence. Z Fine weather favorable for winter wheat growth and for spring wheat seeding tended also to ease values, little recovery taking place in the final tran actions notwithstanding S92,000 bush els falling off in the United States wis., ible supply, Additional handicaps on buyers were stock market weakness and gossip current that Europe had can celled previous wheat purchase.
 Corn and oats sympathized with wheat, but steadied after announcement of larger visible supply decrease in corn than anticipated. On the other hand today's receipts of corn here show ed some increase, eastern demand was still slow and field work was said to be making rapid progress.
 Provisions had downward slant, influenced by the course of hogs, grain and cottonseed oil.

 NEW ORLEANS, April 7.-The cotton market opened lower and continued weak and reactionary throughout the session, the few rallies developing from time to time being inconsequenttal. May, after trading at 30.31c near the start, or 33 points down from Saturdays close, traded as low asl 29.45c. or 11s points under the previous close, and 169 points down from the highest level reached on the recent ad- vance. July declined from 2s.69c, reached lower than the previous close. October ranged from 2460c at the start down to The close was little above the lows of the day. showing net losses of 105 to l12 points on old crop months and 7s to S3 points on the new crops.
 Reactionary sentiment prevailed in the market from start to finish, although there were no sensational developments in the was largely due to the prevailing belief that sIzeable reaction was due after the recent considerable advance amounting to more than 46O points. The immediate in fluences of a bearish character included easier cables favorable weaAher in the belt over Sunday and an official forecast for continuation of fair weather, larger sales of fertilizers than last year reported by Secretary Hester to the extent Of 224, ,00O tons, plus correction of 1S,00O bales in the New Orleans stock and forecast by a Washington authority of comparatively small consumption by American mills dur ing March.
 Some disappointment was also felt at the failure of the weekly dry goods trade reports to reflect the improvement in the demand reported from New York on the last two days of the past week. The only 6uilish developments were the continued favorable reports from Manchester, where trade is said to be brisk and reported urgent demand for spots in the south, with desirable grades hard to come by.
 The failure to make public the Dawes colhmissions report on German repara- tions was an added depressing influence, although forecastaSof the character of the reports all point to It's being very Sen- couraging document,

STEEL SELLING PRESSURE HEAVY Baldwin Hammered Down To New Low Level
 For Year

NEW YORK, April 7.-Renewal of bear selling apparently due to specu- lative disappointment over the delay in publication of the Dawes report i'm parted a reactionary trend to today's stock market, net losses in the active issues ranging from to points. Sell ing pressure was most effective in the steels, equipments, motors and rubbers, many selling at their lowest of the year.
 Baldwin was one of the bear objec- tives being hammered down to new level for 1924. but rallied to 114A. Additional new low records were es- tablished by Chandler Motors at 45s, Gulf States Steel at 70A, Crucible F Steel at 535s, Kelly-Springfield at 14A, United States Rubber at 2S, and American Agricultural Chemical Pre- ferred at 1S%, but all closed above their low prices of the day.
 Rails offered stubborn resistance to selling pressure with pronounced strength developing in Norfolk and Western, which touched 131A and Western, which touched 131& and closed slightly below that figure for a net gain of nearly points. An active demand also was noted for Chesapeake and Ohio, which sold as high as 76 and closed at 75A, up %. Several of the western carriers yielded fractionally on profit taking.
 Selling of steel apparently was in- fluenced by reports of lessening of activity in the industry. United States Steel Common closed a point lower at 767s and losses of to points were recorded by Bethlehem, Republic and Gulf States Steels.
 There was nothing in the days news to account for the renewed selling of the motor shares. Studebaker was hammered down nearly two points to 92Z and losses of a point or more were recorded by Stewart Warner, Mack Truck, Hayes Wheel and Max well Motors A. One transaction in Fisher Body was recorded at 213, or A points below the previous sale.
 Dupont broke nearly 3 points on the publication of an unfavorable United States supreme court decision against the company. Other outstanding weak spots were, Corn Products, American
 
 Fruit and Woolworth, off 2 to- 8 points. American Waterworks and Electric issues moved against the cur rent trend, the common closing at 47 and the six per cent preferred moving 17s to 721s.
 Call money opened at A per cent and advanced successively to Az, 5 and 512, where it closed. A firmer under tone was noted in the time money mar ket, but the ruling rate was unchanged at Az per cent. Prime and commer- cial paper was steady at AZ per cent
 Foreign exchanges turned reaction ary after 9 firm opening. Demand sterling advanced about cent to $4.34 and then fell back to $4.32k. French francs held fairly steady. South American exchanges were higher.
