By VIM. E. GILROY, D. D.
 Jesus expressed much of His deepest practical teaching through parables or stories. In lessons to- day founded upon these parables and stories, it Is rather important to try to get to the heart of what Jesus was seeking to teach.
 It should be remembered. also, that these parables were listened to by disciples who heard the other teachings of Jesus, and who could relate the stories to such teachings as are recorded for us in the Ser mon on the Mount and similar ut terances.
 The stories are all great illustra- tions of what Jesus was trying to give to men through constant pre- cept and example during His earthly ministry.
 One of the deepest teachings of Jesus was concerning mans priv

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. R-Finan-
clal markets we're inclined 70 droop
Tuesday without especial pressure
being exerted against any partic-
ular category.
Stocks milled about uncertainty
although the trend generally was
moderately lower. While there were
scatterd firm specialties and selling
appeared to have dried up in the
depressed utilities, the backward
ness Of the rails tended TO re-
strain operators for the advance.
Trading activity was considerably
under that Of the preceding ses-
sion.
Bonds were duh and mixed. As in
the equity division, various loans at
tracted followines at higher levels,
but the list. on the whole, showed
little inclination to resume the up
ward movement. u. s. government
securities rel easier. Wheat and
rye yielded a cent or so a bushel.
Cotton was barely steady. Foreign
exchanges continued to hold to a
restricted range.
Shares of international business
machines we're up q point &c a new
high for the year. Noranda Mines
was off as much at a new 1884 low.
American Telephone got back an
other point Of It's recent losses.
Consolidated Gas. Public Service
OF New Jersey and North Ameri-
carr were down only fr~actionally, rs
we're u. S. Steel. Goodyear, Mont
gomery Ward Sears Roebuck and
u. q. Smelling. The rails. including
Santa Fe. Delaware g. Hudson. N.
Y. Central and Union Pacific. xere
down around n point or more.
The rally Of the traction group
reflected reports OF IN imminent
unification agreement. The oils
we're almost at a standstill and the
metals seemed to lack any stimu-
LUIS. inflationary or otherwise.
The speech Of Donald n. Richberg
executive director OF the national
emergency council. assuring Dusi-
ness that there would be no "orgy
OF initiation" was pleasing to bank
ing circles but not SO helpful to the
speculative forces which have been
conducting their operations on the
theory that drastic currency ex-
