ORER-NG B 0 Tl oY ;
CHICAGO, March 10—The strength in
wheat was mainly on account of shorts
covering and the oversold condition of
the market, coupled with reports from
eastern Kansas, in which it was said
that soft wheat there in many places is
dead, having been grozen out. Ad
vances were shown of 5 to %c for the
day and resting spots were 5% to 7c
above the lowest levels.
Corn closed 3% to %c higher and oats
were up 1. The strength in corn came
from . buying by shorts as well as in
vestors.
Hog products were lower and the
trade was small late,

SELFISHNESS
Text—‘‘Take heed unto thyself,”” I
Tim.-iv:l6.
Paul, the venerable preacher, was
fwriting to young Timothy and giving
him some regular fatherly advice, which
was at once helpful and inspiring. He
wanted him to heed fhe words of the
text in order that he might be able to
help himself and others, to save his
own life and the lives of those who
heard him. God gave us minds with
which to think. He expects us to use
them. To abuse them is to dishonor
God and injure self. The entire text is
to be understood in the light of rea
son and common sense. Most men
think too much of themselves, they
think egotistically. There is nothing
but selfishness in their make-up. Such
men were not in the mind of the Apos
tle when he penned the advice to the
young Timothy. The man who thinks
of himself for selfish purposes isn't
the man to whom the inspired writer
speaks. It is to the man who needs
his attention fixed on himself in order
that he may recognize his shortcom
ings, and prepare to do what he can
to pateh up the weak p'aces, and live
a clean, high, holy purposeful life which
is helping to man and pleasing to God.
The world to-day isn’t dying for your
money, for your influence, for your real
estate, for your bank account, for your
business prestige, but it is dying for a
little bit of love that will lighten the
heavy burdens of life, and bring a smile
of gratitude to the face of thuse who
;u‘e really in need of sympathy and
ove.
Selfishness in Religion.
Strange place in which to find it, but
yet it is often found in religion. Men
feel that the church is a field to be
cultivated instead of a force to be
wielded. To go to church to worship
God ought to be the supreme reason
for geoing. Alas! that many go to ad
vance their own personal interests. It
is good to get in a spiritual church
that keeps its fires of evangelism
brightly burning. That is indeed and
in truth a soul-warming institution.
That loses itself in the thoughts of
others, In other words, there are peo
ple who go to church to be fed upon
the word, who are to be edified. Whose
pastor must feed and pet and spoil.
Like a lot of people whom you know,
they just delight to have you ask after
their health in order that you may be
regaled with an hour’s conversation
concerning their ills and ails and wor
ries and troubles. The sick and the
bad need to think of others.: Patent
medicines are advertised in every pa
per nearly. People who don't think ac
tually believe that they have every
symptom and buy the advertised medi
cine and, use it, feeling that it wi'l
do them good. There is not much in
such things. If each individual thus in
clined could be induced to think differ
ently the world would be better off and
could hope to haye more real mental,
physical and spiritual health than it
has ever dreamed of having before.
Think of Others.
The best way to lose sight of self is
to think of others. Someone has writ
ten a great sermon on ‘‘The Expulsive
Power of a New Affection.” Your lot
may seem hard, but compare it with
the life of some one of your many
neighbors. Yours is hard, but in many
instances theirs is harder.
You doubtless know some woman as
I do who thinks more of others than
she does of herself, although she is an
invalid and has a real hard time in life.
Some such are prostrated on beds of
sickness from which they scarcely ever
hope to recover. Yet through it all they
lose sight of self and think and plan
only for the good of others,
Do you grow discouraged as vou face
serious preblems? Stop for only 4 mo
ment and think of the Panama Canal,
America's big ditch. At first the build
ers thought only of themselves; later
they commenced to think of others; how
because of the shortening of the route
many sailors would find rest and many
people would be greatly helped thereby.
These things make the world better.
Think of tired sailors and tired firemen
and engineers and train crews now do
ing work that will soon have to be done
by others, not men but machines. In
this age selfishness has gone -to seed.
It has overreached itself, and in so doing
has pulled down upon itself the condem
nation of all who really think. The
Confederate soldiers on the Virginia bat
tlefields thought of the loved ones at
home and dreamed of wives and chil
dren and loved ones, and on the mor-
Jlene. $7.75 per case; Snowdrift, $6.50 per

row awoke to fight like tigers in the
strength of their unselfish devotion to
others. The herocic soldiers who gave up
their lives at Thermopylae died think
ing of and fighting for others. Abraham
Lincoln, whose birthday all Americans
delight to celebrate this month, has gone
down into history as one truly great
because of what he endured and sacri
ficed for the people whom he served
during the sixties.
Any nation would be justly proud of
George Washington. He became the
father of his country because he was
willing to give himself that this great
nation might forge to the front and be
come under God what he knew it could
be. The man who would save his life
must lose it. The server is the one

who serves best is most highly remem
bered holds good in the financial, polit
ical and social world. Unselfishness is a
crime against the Maker in the eyes of
the sensuous man, but in the under
standing of the righteous it is the no
blest of virtues. Selfishness is now and
has ever been the bane of the world's
existence. The man who dances the
tango and patronizes the locker clubs
and stumbles about in the red light dis
trict is supremely selfish and his sin will
find him out.
One of God's laws that we all are
compelled to recognize, whether we will
or not, is that the seed sown deter
mines the character of the harvest to
be gathered in. Sowing to the flesh
brings corruption and evil seed can not
now, nor ever could, bring forth good
fruit. There are men in the pulpits
of Georgia to-day who deny the divin
ity of Christ and seem to take special
delight in promulgating the old Saddu
cean theology and remnants of heathen
theology and calling it up-to-date Chris
tianity. Recently some of the Atlanta
papers carried as news items that pos
sibly only the Methodist Church opposed
the dance and other present-day evils.
lvery true church is opposed to sen
suality in any form, and most of the
evangelical churches prohibit these
things. The trouble with our pulpits
to-day is that tco many dishonest men
fill them. A man who is an Arminian
has no business in the pulpit of a
church that subseribes to Calvinism.
The man who stands in a Christian pul
pit and denies the divinity of Jesus is a
fake as sure as you live. There needs to
be a revival of common honesty just
here. The desire to know, if it is for
the purpose of using your intellect for
the purpose of helping others, is per
fectly legitimate, but the present-day
so-called intellectualism is anything hut
knowledge. When one feeds his mind at
the expense of his soul, when he sur
feits the one aml starves the other, sin
has been committed, and sin when it
is aided bringeth forth death.
The only wages that sin has ever paid
has been death., Men there are in al
most every section whose supreme de
sire seems to be to accumulate money,
to join acre to acre, to pile up stocks
and bonds to their glory ad infinitum,
Souls are jeopardized in order that sdue
cats may be piled up one on the other.
Such selfishness must end as ended the
life of the foolish rich man described
by Christ in the long ago.
‘“Know Thysell.”
This old Greek proverb comes down
to us to-day fraught with fresh mean
ing, and needs to be heeded as never
before. So many know their neigh
bors and the affairs of their neighbors
better than they do themselves. Alas,
that men can become #®oo absorbed in
their own religious life that they forget
others whose needs are infinitely great
er! Some of our religious enthusiasts
who giory in the unknown tongue and
revel in meeting and telling of the won
ders that God has done for them, in en
lightening their nunds above their
neighbors, would do well to go down into
the slums and do some talking in known
tengues to men and women who -are
Jlost. Know how strong you are and
thien search out your brother's weakness
and help him to carry his load. We
are here to be fellow-helpers not only
to the truth, but to every good word
and work, and the man or the woman
who fails to help somebody fails to
properly appreciate his own opportu
nity.
Paul, the theologian, scholar, preach
er, mystic, lover of men, great missian
ary, gave this advice to Timothy (it
is equally applicable to us): “Take
heed unto thyself and unto the doe
trine; continue in them, for in ’oing
this thou shalt both save thyself and
them that hear thee.,"

values might work a little higher in
