st. Luke, IV.16: LAS His custom was,
He went into the synagogue on the
Sabbath day"
Sunday custom has a determining
effect upon week day living. Appar-
emily Jesus recognized this. We can
hardly believe that the service in the
synagogue to which He went gave
Him any new insight into life. or
served to strengthen Him in His pur-
pose. Nevertheless. "as His custom
was He went into the synagogue on
the Sabbath day"
Yes, He who said THE Sabbath was
made for man and not man for the
Sabbath" recognized the sanctity of
the day and the value of corporate
worship. For Him it was not so much
matter of what He might receive
as what He might give. To join with
His fellow townsmen in common rec
ognition of the sovereignty of AL
mighty God was both a privilege and
duty that He would not disesteem.
The too common idea today that a
man may worship God out under the
trees and apart from fellowship with
his neighbors Is both selfish and fall
lacious. A still more common idea
that a proper observance OF the day
means rest and recreation according
to ones own individual standards is
likewise selfish and fallacious.
Sunday custom that is wholesome
and healthful calls for the recognition,
not only of our obligation to God. but
of our obligation to our fellows. 1t
was for this reason that the apostle
wrote, Forget not the assembling of
yourselves together as the manner of
some is" He doubtless saw in wor-
ship. as in, other things, that fellow
ship and cooperation were indispen-
sable. The average person who comes
10 church on Sunday is impelled to
do so either because il is an act of
decency that is commonly recognized
by people of refinement, or that ii
affords an opportunity for relief from
the monotony of the every day habits
and customs of life. Again there are

Typical Railroad Stock.

AS American Telephone and TeIe
graph Is the leader among the utility
Shares SO Atchison probably ranks
nrst among railway stocks from an
investment standpoint. 1t lacks the
STABILITY In market price which char
acterfzes the utility stock, but part
OF the fluctuations within the past
year nave oeen due to the change in
the dividend rate, which was raised
from per cent to z per cent in
January last. The range this year to
GATE has been over 10 points as
against for the telephone stock.
Ihere Is also more speculation in
Atch1son than in American Telephone
and Telegraph, a fact which NAV tend
to make the investor more cautious.
Talk OF some additional beneflt to
accrue to stockholders possibly in the
way OF stock dividend from time to
time encourages speculative bidding UP
or the stock with the reactions which
inevitably accompany all such move
ments. 1t Is important therefore,
that the right time be selected for an
investment commitment in Atchison
stock.
Next consider the return on the
money. Paying per cent and selling
at 120. the yield is 5.8 per cent. and
at 125, Sc per cent. To yield s Der
Ceill the price WOulQ nave 10 be ll6.
Now many high grade preferred
stocks are obtainable to give almost
as much as Atchison common at
current levels. The exclamation of
the market price, however. is to be
found in the consis' mt record of
earnings and the ide margin Of
safety as well as in the intrinsic value
back Of the stock For the last 10
years earnings available for dividends
on the common have averaged about
1874 per cent. while from 1910 until
1925 per cent was paid regularly
and this year. as has been stated, Z
per cent is being disbursed.
Judging by the past and with no
unfavorable development in sight. the
Atchison ought to have no difficulty
in maintaining its present rate, or
even increasing If the directors should
see fit. Finally the book value of the
stock is over 5000 share. 1t is
earnings and intrinsic value rather
than current return on the investment
which give Atchison common it's de-
servedly high reputation among rail-

GOLD BASIS MOVE
LAUDED BY HOOVER
Greater Stability Sure to Aid
Trade All Over World,
Secretary Predicts.

Between 30 and 80 per cent Of the
entire international trade of the
world will be calculated in terms OF
gold with the return Of the English
pound to a gold basis, Secretary
Hoover said today. A general con-
dition of stability as to prices .will
be brought about, he predicted, that
should rebound TO the benefit of COM
merce and industry throughout the
world
German mark prices will now be
absolutely on a gold base" Mr.. Hoover
said. 'the Dawes reparations plan
having linked up the German coinage
TO degree with sterling. The most
certain effect of the English move
will be to reduce the volume of spec
ulatiVe hazard in international trade,
because Of the elimination Of risks
that must be taken with currency Of
fiuctuating value.
There probably will be : small
swing OF prices in Great Britain as
the adjustment is made. But that is
likely to be OF small consequence, and
the gain in stability will bring hene-
fits that are likely to outweigh the
losses"
