BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 12.-The cot
ton market opened easy at decline
of IL to 16 points in response to lower
Liverpool cables. Offerings were COM
paratively light, and prices steadied
after the call. but the advance met
little more selling. December eased
off TO 19.49, or about 16 to % points
net lower, during the early trading.
There was enough covering or COM
mission house buying to steady the
market at these figures. and prices
showed rallies of ) or points from
the lowest at the end of the first hour
Private cables reported quiet mar.
ket in Liverpool with trade calling
supplied by liquidation and hedge SELL
ing.
After selling off to 1919 for Decem-
her. or about 16 to "a points net lower
under further liquidation, the market
steadied on covering. Apprehensions
of unfavorable weather DEVELOPMENTS
over the week end seemed to bring in
some covering on the rally, which
extended to 1913 for December, or a
couple OF points above yesterdays
closing quotations. Trading contin-
ued comparatively quiet, however. and
the market at midday was several
poii'S vi from the DeSI under a re-
newal of liquidation. possibly promot
ed by reports of an unsettled tone in
the stock market
NEW ORLEANS MARKET.
NEW ORLEANS, August II (R.-
The cotton market opened easier this
morning, and first trades showed
losses of points due to Liverpool
coming lower than due. Prices con-
tinued to ease off after the opening I'M
til October traded down to 1870 and
December to 1910. or 10 to 81 points
below yesterdays close.
When the weather map was posted
showing general rains over the belt
the market recovered nearly all of its;
early loss.

WITH THE CHURCHES
Christmas

Christmas is holy day and should
be so observed by all Christian peo-
pie and Christian countries. "The
first certain traces of the festival are
round about the time of the Emperor
Commodus (1S0-192 A. d.. In the
reign of Diocletian churchful of
Christians, gathered to celebrate
Christmas, were burned by order of
the Emperor. "Those were sad and
cruel days of still more cruel rulers.
How different to these days and
times! While the people are not all
saints, they are not by any means all
devils; but they are far worse than
they should be.
Today the people, as a rule, are
happy; they rejoice at home and in
the highways; the church bells, call
cut from the great tall spires, the
chimes peal forth Nearer MY God
to Thee" and the great choirs at early
dawn chant the Christmas carols. On
ward moves the mighty Christian ar
my; on and on it sweeps composed of
the peoples of all races and all ma
ions; their one object is tc, make the
world better and to bind into one
great CHRIST force all the races of
the world. Reader, do you belong to
this Christian army? Are you bear
ing precious gifts to Him? If you
have nothing else to give, you can
give your voice in prayer and song
and some of your time. Now give
something to some poor needy soul /;
something to some sick one or some
blind one. What will you do? "And
when they found Him they fell down
and worshipped Him and presented
unto Him GOLD and FRANKLIN
CENSE and MYRRH."
wish for you very Merry Christ
mas and a very Happy New Year.

Sterling Moore, Pastor.-Committe
were appointed in the Sunday School,
and arrangements perfected for the
children's exercises and Christmas
tree celebration which will be held on
Saturday, December "a, at eight o.
clock pm. Superintendent Cooper
urged all to be present to enjoy the
program to be presented by the chill
dren.
'Now abideth faith, hope, love,
these three; but the greatest of these
is love-" | Cor. 1913. Speaking to
a large congregation, the pastor used
the above text as the foundation of
an impressive sermon Sunday NOR
ming. Analysing the entire chapter,
verse by verse, he clearly defined the
meaning of the word Love, and
brought home to his hearers the great
truth that eff you love not your fell
low man whom you have seen, il is
child's play to say that you love God
whom you have not SEEN"
The B. Y. p. u. was led by Mrs.
Estella Jackson in the discussion of
the topic, do we care how our
church uses Gods gifts?"
The five-minute speaker for the
evening service, Mr.. Todd made
splendid talk in which he dealt with
the industrial advancement of the
race.
James 2:3, was the text of the eve
ming sermon by the pastor; "Have the
mind in you which was also in Christ
Jesus"
Next Sunday there will be approp-
pirate observance of Christmas. At
the morning service, the pastor will
preach the Christmas sermon; spe-
cial music will be rendered by the
Junior choir. At eight o'clock, will
be the rendition of the cantata, "Pro-
mise and Fulfillment," which pro-
misses to be one of the best ever given
in Mt. Zion. All are welcome to the
services.

Lithuania and Poland decide not to have a war
showing therein no small degree of common sense as
well as setting good example for other and larger
nations to follow.
The feeling between these two countries which have
resumed their places among the nations of the earth
since the World War. has been unusually bitter
years, the occupation of Wilma by Poland being the
particular poison that has ranked in the breast of
Lithuania.
Saturday the preniers of the two countries met
Pllsudski dictator of Poland threw down the gaunt-
let and blunty informed Lithuania that it could have
whichever 1t CHESAPEAKE war. Lithuania wisely
choose peace. Confronted with the need for inlmed-
late declslon Premier Waldemaras of Lithuana did
not hesitate. 1t not time decide whether or
not Llthuania backing down. but whether it
wished to remain at peace plunge itself into a de-
vastatlng war in which little could be gained and ev-
erything might be lost
Lthuana and Poland have decided they can make
better progress and at less expense all round by sit
ting down at the conference table instead of resortng
to arms.
1t would appear that all of Europe if not the en-
tire civilized world, debt of gratitude to VALID
emaras for his courageous decision for it did require
courage to make it. Had he decided upon war it
would not have stopped with his country and Poland
as the participants. Every European country would
have been drawn into it and there is no reason to
doubt that eventually would have involved America
Llthuanla may be small, but if, Waldemaras is an
example of the produces it has little to fear for
the future.
