SHIFT IN BUYING
POWER OUTLINED
Farm States Show Largest
Share in National Rise
of 28 Per Cent.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

cpeClal OlkpeLCn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, April 9.-The buying
power Of this country today is about
20 per cent greater than a year ago
and about SO per cent greater than
spend is differently distributed than
it was in 1884 and 1898.
The agricultural States again record
the largest increases in spendable
income, If New York, California and
Ohio be excepted, though the severe
drought Of last Summer and dry
weather this year are adversely af-
fecttng the ability to buy in certain
Western and Southwestern States.
The leading States, In point Of
estimated gains In dollar buying
power over 1893, are: New York,
California, Ohio. Illinois, Texas,
Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, Con-
necticut, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
Massachusetts,, Missouri, Georgia,
Iowa and Maryland. The list show
ing gains over 1882 has this ranking:
New York, Illinois, California, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Texas, Michigan,
Massachusetts,, Wisconsin, Iowa. Min
nesota, Indiana, New Jersey, North
Carolina, Missouri and Georgia.
The advent Of repeal, the better
tobacco trade and higher prices paid
growers. the cotton, corn and hog
processing programs; the frightened
prospects for dairying and its prod
uces and stimulation in the auto
mobile industries are quite evident
from a study of these income sta
tistics. The manner in which the
drought hit certain sections is also
observable.
A study Of these spendable income
estimates by States reveals that Texas
last year forged ahead Of Michigan.

the preceding week, 77.9 month ago
and TIL year ago.
The rise in the index last week
was largely due to advances In foods
and agricultural products; the princi-
pal advances occurred in the foods,
grains, feeds and live stock and fats
and oils groups. The only other group
to advance was metals, which showed
q very slight increase. Three groups,
fuel, textiles and building materials,
declined during the week, but in
each case the recession was slight.
The foods group led in the number
of advances, with nine items in this
group moving upward and three de-
clining. Eggs showed a contra-sea-
sonal rise and increases also occurred
in sugar, ham, -four and potatoes.
Eight commodities in the grains,
feeds and live stock group advanced
and six declined; grains and live
stock we're generally higher. while
hay and feedstuffs were lower.
The fats and oils group again ad-
vanced last week, rising to 82.8 from
79.5 in the preceding week, with the
rise due to higher prices for butter
and coconut oil.
Higher prices for tin and silver
resulted in slight advance in the
metals group.
Cotton prices were slightly higher
during the week, but the advance
was more than offset by lower prices
for cotton goods and wool.

be of far reaching importance to this church body during the next years. Groups of five to ten congre- gations form a unit which sends one clergyman and one layman as delegates, who together with rep resentatives of official boards will number about one thousand. The convention meets in Cleveland s Municipal Auditorium with the Rev. Frederick Pfotenhauer, D. D., of Chicago presiding and the Rev. Martin F. Kretzmann of Kendall vile, Ind, as secretary.
 Among the several reports and recommendation which are to be acted upon are the findings of the committee on higher education which have been published in ad- vance and aroused great interest. Amalgamation of a number of the thirteen colleges and four semin- aries maintained by the Missouri Synod, changes in the courses off, fered, and the addition of another year to the ministerial course are proposed. The main theological seminary is located in St. Louis and is the largest in the country with an enrolment of 600 students. Teachers for 1881 weekday paro- chial schools with an enrolment of 7S,6S1 pupils are trained in nor. mai schools at River Forest, Ill, and Seward, Neb. In addition 3,346 Sunday schools are maintained with an enrolment of 252.487.
 Much time and consideration will be given also to the program of expansion in the home mission field. Since the depression the bud get for this department has been reduced to little more than one million dollars annually and the candidates for the ministry gradu- ated from the two theological sem inaries are not being absorbed as rapidly as formerly.

Baptist Clash Has
 No Effect Locally
Cnct Threatening to Split Church Into Two Separate
 Groups Has No RepercussiOn Here Says Minister

The conflict which in the past few months has threatened to split the Baptist church into two separate groups has had no local repercussion up to the present time according to Rev. David T.. Gaines, pastor of the First Baptist church.
 Charges that communism is be- ing taught in Baptist churches have led to threats of secession from the Northern Baptist con ference in several churches in Con. iiecticut. Groups in New York. Wisconsin and Indiana, have al- Heady withdrawn from the con ference.
 Mir. Gaines explains that the confusion has been largely caused by edicts issued by a council sim tar in operation to that of the Methodist church, and whose doc trines are notn wholly approved by many church members.
 {,The two groups have aligned themselves variously Jas modern. fsts," and "fundamentalists," and lave espoused widely varying prin- eiples.. There has been no discus sion of the relative merits of the opposing groups by local church members, Mir. Gaines declared. |. .iAdherents of the fundamentalist

 Editor of Advance
 The Lords Supper was insti- tuted in the service in the upper room in Jerusalem, on the eve of the crucifixion of Jesus as He partook of the Passover with His disciples.
 The occasion is memorable for the intimate picture that we great act of fellowship before their Lords death, and for the element of tragedy, foreshadow- ing Calvary itself, that entered into the occasion as Jesus an- nounced that one of His own very circle would betray Him. Did Jesus intend to found a formal rite in the church, or was He emphasizing the sacred na- ture of all Christian fellowship and communion? We can never know regarding that. but the re- membrance of this upper room and the record of what happened there so took hold of the life of the Church that very early the Lords Supper, and the partak- ing of bread and wine in Com mon, became the most sacred symbol of Christian faith and fellowship.
 Paul very definitely esta b . fishes this right of the Lords Supper and, recalling the ex- ample of Jesus in which He gave the bread and wine to the disci- pies as symbols of His body and blood, he represents the act of communion in the Lords Supper as one of remembrance, showing or making manifest, the Lord s death until He come.
 The disciples believed that in that act, embodying the spirit of Jesus, they were experiencing His real presence, and it is no won- der that this conviction became so strong that it developed into doc- trines of transubstantiation and standardization. The Christians of today are not likely to be in- volved in the sharp and intense controversies that the historic church has witnessed concerning these matters. One may venture the belief that the presence of Jesus in the communion of Chris tians and in the Lords Supper is not formal or mechanical matter.
 The Lord could hardly be present among those who were not met in the depth of sincerity and faith, and He could hardly be absent. concerning his own promises, from the communion of those who in deep simplicity of faith and ear- nestness were met in His name.
 
 Too often the rite of the Lords Supper in the church has been q formal thing--a symbol of the fact of fellowship in the church rather than symbol Of the union of souls with Jesus fin sacriflciai love and service.
 It Is q solemn thing 10 call to mind the dying of the Lord Jesus and to symboiize union with Him SO intimate that lie comes into our lives in such n way that fIo is cur sustaining power and our insplra. ten.

CATHOLIC CHURCH
 l ASSIST CHINESE
Million Given Free Medical Attention at Shanghai
 Dispensaries
(spcciaI to The Democrat)

New York City, May 25---More than 100000 of the sick poor Chinese of Shanghai received free medical attention at the dispen- saries conducted by the Catholic. church there, during the past year, according to a report that has just reached the National Office of Catholic Missions. It Is estimated that three times that number who are destitutet due to famine have been aided by the S,a60 Catholic priests located throughout China.
 Special efforts are these mission CTS making in Human, Anhwei and Hupeh. 12,000,O00 people are acc tually starving in these three prov inces, due to the inroads of drought and the pillaging of the land by the communists in their flight be- fore the armies of Chiang- Kali Shek. Only a fraction of these 12,000,000 can tht mlssioners aid, inasmuch as their own resources are practically exhausted.
 Reports have come of countless victims driven by hunger to eating of roots and the bark of trees. Some, maddened by the bangs of starvation, have fallen to consum- ing a mixture of bran, water and earth. This practice has hurried death for many.

and action today is altogether too shallow. Religion is not merely a matter of doing. even though with sadness one contemplates the lack of vital Christian action on the part of those who make Christian prol fession.
 The Christian life<is matter of being. It is linked with the life of God. with the life and death of Jesus, and with the life of h a [ great company in the church mili- tant and in the church triumphant who have loved. and sacrificed, and served in witnessing to the world the divine compasison and the full. ness of the gospel of grace.
