PASTOR DWELLS
ON MISSIONARIES
The Rev. V. S. Jensen, Hartford, Conn.
Said In ASkOv That There are
Duties for All.

The Rev. V. S. Jensen, who recent
Nv accepted the call to the pastOrate
in the Danish Lutheran church at
Hartford. Conn.,, preached in the
Askoy church Sunday forenoon dur
ing the absence of the local pastor,
A. E. Frost, who is on trip to Can
ada. The Rev. Jensen also gave a
good talk on missionary work and the
duties before all of us before the
Young Peoples Society at the church
in the evening.
A Call for Duty.
At the evening meeting the Rev.
Jensen said that life's happiness in
cludes a call for some duty and whole
someness and substance. Happiness
in a great measure is to most OF us
that of living together with those
whom we love. The twelve apostles
were the first missionaries. They
we're considered well learned, but the
Rev. Jensen said that he was of the
opinion that others in their days were
lust as we'll learned. The desire to
do good is more important than that
of ability. Simon Peter was fisher
man, but when the call came: You
must follow me and save souls" he
followed the call of his Master. EX-
amples of leaving their loved ones
was cited in that of John and Jacob
who left their parents, and Simon
Peter his wife to fulfill the duties
that they felt called upon to do. Some
folks say, yes, but that was the
apostles" said the speaker, adding
that he thinks Jesus Christ has nj
STEP children Every individual is diff
ferent, but there is a duty for eacf
and all, and fulfilling that duty-th'
call in life-makes for real happiness
and contentment.
Uncertainty Not Desirable.
The speaker dwelt briefly upon thu
Scandinavian missionaries, Skrefsru'
and Borresen, stating that one of then
lost his wife shortly after arriving il
Santalistan, India, but he knew hi
call, loved it and stayed. Uncertaint,
| is a thing that spOils it for many o
us. said the Rev. Jensen, referring
then to the example of childhood il
good home When in doubt tn
child asks his or her father an
5 mother and what they say is RICH
with the child and there is feelin
, of satisfaction and cOntentment Hap
piness is certainty of course and &C
ton. Alexander Mackay, an engineer
understood his call when he felt tina
he was needed and accepted a mis-
sionary post in darkest Africa
The Rev. Jensen said that he n
; more refers to European countries an
America as the "sO-called religion
nations" While there is much oppoI
tunity for improvement, as rule pee
, pie and property are protected, bu
not so in the uncivilized countries
:. At the funeral of some notable i
;. Africa it is customary to catch som
. people and offer their lives in homo
of the dead, but in spite of all th1
!, and many other atrocities, Mackay di
not turn home He knew his call.

that the reductions were temporary.
Selling agents complain that the sud-

household items the last week has seri-
ously jeopardized future business as
well as the sales for immediate con-
sumption. The trade slump has been
particularly felt by Importers, who
must book orders from so to 90 days

NEW YORK. November al.--TFGrther
cheerful signs in the general business
situation have been noted in Wall
street in the last few days.
Newspapers ere carrying increased
advertising lineage which seehB the fol-
lowing type OF employees: Bond sales
men, customers men and statistieians.
Jake" the flower man on the flOog Of
the stock Exchange, indicates that the
sales Of gardenias are mounting, and
Jasper" the eolored waiter for many
exchange members who dine In their
oi1lces, reports that trays of food are
getting much heavier.
Although many OF the bond salesman
jobs are for beginners and are on q
commission basis, there IL real de-
mand, on q strict salary basis, for ex-
perienced customers men. One fea-
ture Of the latter demand Is that banks
are seeking men who have q real
knowledge Of stocks. Banks apparently
have enough bond advisers In their
present organizations, but there are six
important banks seeking customers adj

helpful suggestions than they have re-
ceived In the last FIVE years.

CHICAGO. November 2l.-The Fed
eral Farm Board, recently popular OBJ
jeet of attack, today Is cast In the heros
role by those in the grain trade who
have conferred their attention on events
of the past few days.
When on Tuesday grain markets OF
the world vefged on panic the board
stepped into the breach, hraved criti-
cism and took a firm hand to save the
situation from disqualification that
might have spread to other parts Of the
financial structure. As 1t turned out,
the American market proved the sta
bilizing influence around which trade
righted itself.
Traders Praising Board:
Now grain traders, Who have been
tempted to blame the Government fol-
all their troubles, are praislng the
Farm Board. They give II credit foa
saving o dangerous situation. There
even is an expressed belief that the
Federal agencies are justified In con-
tinuing to operate SO long as world con-
ditions remain so unsettled.
George s. Minor, general manager Of
the Grain Sterilization Corporation, an
agency Of the Farm Board, has assured
the Board of Trade that the Govern.
ment Is not seeking corner In wheat
and Is buying only when bids are below
the level now considered minimum.
At present, as result OF the Federal
support, wheat in this country Is selling
nearly 20 cents above the world level
To support it, the Government recently
has bought approximately 44.0OO,O0C
bushels, Increasing It's total holdings e
iO4 ,OOO, 900 bushels. This Is Q stable
portion of the country's surplus wheat
and its disposal constitutes perplexine
problem, which the Farm Board expects
TO be solved by extensive feeding o.
wheat to live stock this Winter and ~
reduced acreage next year.

pared with that in Canada, where II

NEW YORK, November 21.--The

Many OF the railroads have large in

trolled or leased roads. It frequently
happens that the earnings of these sub
salaries are greater than those ef the
parent companies. The Northern Pa
cif1c, for instance, has at times strength
ened its treasury by drawing on the re-
sources of the Northwestern Improve
ment Co. Both 1t and the Great North

A higher dividend by this system would
