Amounting the head Of guest with
understanding oil was an old Orien-
tai custom. Do you remember when
the woman anointed Jesus head with
precious ointment in the house OF
Simon? Jesus host eXpostulated and
Jesus rebuked him, saying, My head
with oil thou didst not anont.
Simon had not treated the Lord as an
honored guest, and had no right TO
reprove the woman who recognized
her Savior.
Our cup of Joy, therefore, is run
ming over, because Of our sureness
of Gods tender care.
And last, we must have faith that
we shall be taken care of in the flu
ture-no matter what happens.
Surely goodness and loving kind
ness shall follow me all the days of
my life; and shall dwell in the
house of jehovah forever"
How many OF us can rely con-
fidently on this promise in these
troubled times? Surely the Lord has
not failed us. We can still trust in
! Him and be serene even as 1.-The old
order changeth," and we fear for the
future of thousands Of the human
race
Surely we can have faith that
we shall dwell in the house of Je-
hoVah forever"

Summary OF
Market News

Raleigh, Aug. 16.-Feed markets
declined further during the week
ending August Is, influenced prin-
cipally by continued slow demand
from feeders and feed manufactures.
The index number of wholesale feed
prices declined about 2 1-2 points to
1921 compared with l04.6 for the
previous week and 92.6 for the COR
Responding week last year. Light Of
ferings of wheatfeeds for immediate
shipments helped maintain the fairly
steady prices for bran and middlings
at central western markets. Oilseed
cake and meal were in plentiful sup
ply with deferred deliveries at liberal
discounts under spot prices. Corn
feeds were mostly steady and in am
pie supply.
Rains have fallen during the past
week or ten days over the peanut
belt of both Virginia and North Caro-
lima, and farmers advise that it came
lust at the right time to keep the
crop growing in fine shape. The
August ClOp lepOl I, ICllSSlliiS Soii-
ditions as of August |, indicates a
crop in Virginia and North Carolina
this year of nearly 500,000,000
pounds, compared with 480,000,000
pounds last year. The acreage to be
picked and threshed has gone up
only slightly in both states. For the
country as a whole, however, the
acreage for the United States 1885,
600 is the largest Of record, and if
the crop for the country, indicated
on August l as 1,522,00000O pounds,
is actually harvested it will set a
new production record for the United
States. Market prices for both farm
ers stock and shelled and cleaned
goods show little change. For the
