In the Sugar Market

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Last weeks
sugar futures market in review shows an
interesting change in price tendencies. Al
though May, July and September closed at
later months was checked and i'm these con-
tracts quotations were exactly where they
ended the week before. II appears that
pretty well discounted and that more con-
iidence is being felt over the outlook. /
don't look for any rapid rebound, but /
think the statistical position will soon be
on the mend and that an irregular recoV-
cry in futures will follow.

IMPRESSIVE SERMON AT MOORE
STREET BAPTIST CHURCH.

Can the dead be indicted? Surely
those who heard Rev. Gordon B.
Hancock on Sunday morning will
agree that the dead together with
the living are indicted.
Af,er having listened to such an
impressive sermon as the one
preached by our pastor, on duty
dodgers, and tightwads, without q
doubt the community will have a
different attitude toward the Union
Har+ shorn Campaign and the Com
nlunity Hospital Campaign. which
have just begun Both of these in
stitWions are worthy Of help but
unless the community does is duty
they will go lacking. In other words
they cannot exist without finance.
Here the dutydodgers find ample
work to do to help make these cam
paigns a success. Tight-wads. as
sty led by our pastor are the stingy
loathsome animals who hang on to
any good work and give excuses for
heir negligence.
Tho plea goes out to these in the
name of the Lord, asking them to
loosen up.
May these tight-wads feel it their
indispensable duty to help not only
their families and church but to give
literally to the above named insti-
tut'ons for the sake of generations
TO come.
