As you drive through the country it’s
easy to pick out the farmers who are pro
gressive and prosperous. A shiftless man
allows his buildings to become shabby and
weather-beaten. The thrifty farmer keeps
everything neatly painted with

FEWER GALLONS * WEARS LONGER
Of course, any paint you put on is better than
no paint. But for long and satisfactory service
we always recommend Devoe Lead and Zinc Paint
because we can guarantee it to be absolutely pure.
It contains no whiting, no silica, or any other
worthless adulterants. That’s why Devoe paint
goes so much further and lasts so much longer
than ordinary paint.
Come in and let us tell you how little it will cost
you to paint with Devoe.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, May 18.—There was a
renewal of active general buying at
the opening of the cotton market
today and first prices were firm at
an advance of 9 to 14 points, with
old crop deliveries making new high
ground for the movement. Firmness
in Liverpool, apprehensions that low
er temperature would accompany
rains in the south and the persist
ency of peace rumors seemed to be
bringing in a big demand from bulls
.who had taken profits last week, as
■well as (Tesh buying and covering of
shorts. July contracts sold up to
IS.33 and. October to 13.30, or about
14 to 16 points net higher. There
was a good deal of realizing at this
level and prices Jater reacted 4 or 5
points.
After the advance to 13.23 for July
and 13.30 for October, the market be
came' rather irregular as a result of
heavy realizing. Offerings were well
enough absorbed by fresh buying to
give prices a steady undertone at re
actions of 5 or 6 points from the
best, however, and trading was less
active during the middle of the day,
with July ruling around 13.20 and
October 13.24, or about 9 to 12 points
•net higher. Liverpool was an active
buyer of July here during the first
hour.

Asheville, N. C., May 18.—South
ern Baptists decline to enter into a
union with other denominations in
foreign mission work for reasons
summarized in a report made today
to the convention by the Foreign
Mission Board, as follows:
Arbitrary territorial divisions for
missionary operations proposed by
federation are opposed.
Proposed agreement for an inter
change of church letters are held to
be contrary to recognized custom
among Baptist churches of the south.
The board considers it of primary
importance that it control, or com
trol Jointly with other Baptist bod
ies, the religious instructions given
to boys and girls entrusted to its
care.
A policy abroad consistent with
denominational policy at home is
strongly favored.
The Foreign Mission Board points
out that this question^ which has
caused some sharp discussions in
the convention for several sessions,
is closely allied to the church union
question.
‘Southern Baptists are on record
by repeated actions of the conven
tion in recognition of that spiritual
union which exists among all believ
ers of Christ,” says the report, “and
in favor of their organic union as
soon as it can be perfected on New
Testament lines. We reaffirm these
statements. We would have all our
people recognize the bonds of broth
erhood which unite Christians of
every name, cultivate a large spirit
of fraternity and strive together with
others to secure the closest possible

impact of our modern Christianity
upon the social order for the estab
lishment of righteousness . in the
earth.
We would, however, admonish
our people at home and abroad to
remain true to New Testament prin
ciples of faith and church polity, and
uy so doing, seek to preserve the
unity of the denomination, enlist all
of our forces for the holy cause of
missions and thus ensure the integ
rity and success of this work.”
The board expresses regret that its
dissent is made necessary by a gen
eral program of union and coopera
tion which conflicts at the points
mentioned with policies of the de
nomination. This program, the re
port says, “threatens to hinder rath
er than help, Christian unity.”
Explaining Its objections the board
says it cannot consent to have any
limitations placed on it In locating
its forces nor to be put in a posi
tion which would forbid its loyalty
to “any company of Christian con
verts who may now or hereafter pro
fess a like precious faith with us.”
With regard to the interchange of
letters, the board declares Baptist
churches have a well known stand
ard of qualification for church mem
bership and it shall seek to foster
this standard in every land where it
send3 its missionaries. The board
further says that it will not engage
in any form of cooperation, hospital,
door of hope, tremendous and mighty
that will affect every church in Eu
rope.
“The third feature is Personalness,
that is piety more than ever has
become a personal thing. The war is
making Europe learn that religion Is
personal matter rather than a for
mal one. The lines between denomi
nations are largely broken down in
armies and camps. ‘Faith is being
purified, sham and unreality are burn
ing out.’ Men are thinking straight
and centering themselves on Jesus
Christ. These characteristics are not
going to pass entirely away for Eu
rope has been too deeply stirred. She
is never going back to what she was
before the war.”
After the war, the report points
out, there may be a great call for
Americans to take up the continuance
of English church work on the con
tinent of Europe, particularly in Ger
many and Austria, where prejudice
may militate against Britishers re
suming their activities.
The divorce evil in America re
ceives considerable attention by the
special committee on Christian Life
and Work which points out that the
estimated average of divorces haB
reached the alarming ratio of about
one to every twelve marriages, “a
showing that is worse than that of
any other civilized nation.” “We must
organize,” the committee says( “as
never before, a nation-wide campaign
of education in behalf of the welfare
of the family and the home concern
ing the sacredness of marriage and
the evils of divorce.” The same com
mittee discusses the use of the Bible
in the public schools and the church
is urged to work toward creating
public sentiment that will favor and
even demand such a course.
In discussing the observance of the
Sabbath another committee submits
lengthy report covering many
phases of the problem and deplores
among other things that “in our na
tional capital there are social func
tions of every description on the
Lord’s day.”
Modern inventions such as the auto
mobile and motion pictures are cited
as adding a tremendous influence to
the combination of power already at
work to destroy the old-fashioned Sab
bath. Resolutions are proposed in
protest against the operation of mov
ing picture theaters on Sunday and
also against the use of public school
buildings on that day. The faculties
of colleges and seminaries, it is pro
posed, should also be urged to omit
recitations on Monday mornings
as to leave the Sabbath free from the
felt necessity of some of the stu
dents to prepare their lessons on that
day. Another resolution condemns
the'Sunday newspaper and points out
that Canada, even in war time, has
found that the Sunday paper is not
a necessity. In comment on the work
ing of the Dominion Lord’s Day Act,
the report adds that ninety per cent
or more of the Sunday newspapers
published in the United States for dls-
trbution in Canada on Sunday bad
been pushed back over the line. The
report notes, however, that the Sun
day newspaper has made serions in
roads lately among the people of
Sprightliness for the young men,
More conservative models for
older men,
Yet all styled to meet the die*
tates of correct dress.

One of the most important of the
reports is that by the committee on
Church Co-operation and Union which
among other things favor the con
tinuance of the negotiations for the
union of all the churches of the Pres
byterian household in the United
States, and also conferences with the
Church of the Disciples of Christ with
a view to closer relations. In the
matter of evangelization, the question
is also raised whether the hour has
not arrived for “the inauguration and
promotion of a country-wide move
ment of evangelistic endeavor of such
a character as will meet with the ap
proval and appreciation of the united
ministry of our land.”
The assembly’s approval is also to
be asked of the steps thus far taken
in the movement for the World’s Con
ference on Faith and Order proposed
by the Protestant Episcopal Church.
