Wheat—No. 2 red ciEs s sns e 408 COtResNIR B oot Diiv sf B 0 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, CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. Grain quotations: < Previous High. Low. Close.

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 case. | “MISCELLANEOUS — Georgia_ cane syrup, 2ic; axle grease, 8‘1.75; soda Icrackers, T%c pound; lemon crackers, |Bc; oyster, Tc; tomatoes (two pounds), lu.ss case; (three pounds), $2.25; navy |beans, $3.25; Lima beans, 7%c; shred |ded biscuit, $3.60; rolled oats, $3.90 ner |case; grits (bags), $2.40; pink salmen, $7; cocoa, 38c; roast beef, $3.80; syrup, |soc per ga'lon; Sterlin% ball potasn, 153.30 per case; soap, $1.50@4.00 per case; Iflum(ord baking powder, $2.00 per case i e TR e | ATLANTA LIVE STOCK.

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 whom the people delight to honor, He 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.
