This I is nearly a two hundred per cent ) increase since organization in April. Mr. Ramsey’s sermons of yester- 1 day were exceptionally strong and 1 helpful. There can be no misunder ( standing him and his call to service I for the Savior was most striking I and convincing. Last night he show- I cd the work of the forces of evil j as against righteousness in the sin |of substitution. He urged that we ■ do not try to substitute anything for ‘ the Bible, the church, of the plain • teaching of truth. He fearlessly I pointed out the sin of religious di ; visions and the evil results accruing ; therefrom. Those who! heard him ' must thoughtfully consider the force ful statements made and supported with words from Divine writ. The meeting goes on indefinitely this week.

HARDING AGAINST TARIFF FOR OIL {Letter Read Irj Flouse Bv Chairman fordney Os Committee WASHINGTON, July 18—(ByAs sociated Press) —The house today re sumed consideration of the proposed l oil tax in the Fordney tariff bill, and fixed a limit of three and a half hours for debate. The discussion centered around the Treadway amendment, introduced Saturday, which would transfer crude and fuel oils from the dutiable to the free list. The test of President Harding’s letter to Chairman Fordney oppos ing the imposition of a duty on crude petroleum and fuel oil and suggest ing a bargaining provision “to guard against the levy of duties against us,” was presented in the house to day by Fordney. The text differed materially from the recently publish ed versions of the communication and, replying to questions, Fordney said there was another letter from the president which he did not pro pose to read. * Under the special rule governing consideration of the tariff bill, a final vote is due late Thursday. Democratic members of the house from cotton growing states announc ed after informal conferences that al most a solid party vote would be cast against the Republican amendment to the Fordney tariff bill providing a duty of ten per cent advalorem on raw cotton. Outlining the position of the mi nority, Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, acting Democratic leader, declared the “iniquity” of the pro posal “was glaringly apparent” in view of the statement of Representa tive Green, of lowa, ranking Repub lican member of the. ways and means committee, that it would not increase the price paid the farmer for ihis products. Mr. Garrett added that “the only excuse for the tax was to enable Republicans to increase the duty on cotton goods.” “Amidst so many jokers in the Fordney bill,” said Mr. Garrett, in a statement, “it is well nigh impossi ble to say which is the superlative one, but certaihly the proposition— to put a duty on raw cotton when none is imported, and the treas ury can derive no duty thereby—is I at least as great as any. I “To bring it immediately home to the cotton farmer, a duty on raw cot ton will give nothing of increase in price, but it will be made the excuse for raising the duty and therefore the price upon everything made of cotton which he (has to buy.” In framing the tariff bill the ways and means committee kept raw cot ton on the free list—where it was in the old Payne-Aldrich bill. When the Repulican caucus took the bill in ihand, however, a fight led by Southern Republicans was made to tax cotton, some oi the advocates of this move asserting it would help break the “solid South.” The cotton tax amendment, under the special rule by which the bill is being considered in the House, will be taken up for a vote Tuesday. Re gardless of the outcome then there will be another vote on the proposal prior to final passage of the measure Thursday night. spending the past two weeks in Ge neva, Fla., with relatives and friends, returned Sunday to her home here at 421 Barlow street.
