on wheat last night; the same feeling
also prevailed among a majority of the
simulators. It was noticeable that
some of the bears were taking profits
on yesterday's break.
"Sentiment among corn traders was
mixed. Many traders said they were
afraid to sell it short, owing to the bad
weather, but at the same time they did
not want to get long.
“Practically all the stock of contract
oats in Chicago was delivered yesterday.

WE WOULD SEE JESUS"
A Sermon by Rev. W H Faust, Lexington. Ga
Tex' Sir. we would see Fetus.”—
John xii 21
The words of the text are t*Ken
from a passage giving a v \ d and
accurate accoun 1 of the triumphal
entry of Christ nto Jerusalem and
the effect it had upon Jew* and
Greeks. The proud Pharisee* were
standing by and contemplating the
effect of His entry upon the masses 1
of the people. The shouts and ho- )
sannas and general spirit of adora
tion and worship everywhere mani- *
fest had a peculiar effect gyn these
would-be religious leaders, and they
gnashed on each other *4 the sight
of the splendid demonstration, and
.wtid “Perceive ye how ye prevail
nothing Behold the world is gone
after Him." And indeed the world
at that moment seemed to fee; it
had never felt before the drawing
power of the Son of (Tod. and on
every side was a manifest desire on
the part of the people to declare Him
sovereign, and enthrone Him right
then In Jerusalem. These formalists
and loyalists were exceedingly
wretched when they saw how despite
their ev tv effort to prevent it that
the masses were leaning toward the
N’azarene. and all their work seemed
to be in vain. So they upbraided
each other and marveled that peo
ple wanted to follow Jesus, bur they
marveled most of all to think that
their herculean efforts were fruit
less. while Jesus* power still drew. ,
The Effects on the Greeks.
The Jews who were looking for a »
Messiah failed to see Him w hen He f
came. He didn t come a* they had
anticipated and planned. He dion't
conform to their methods in His
teaching His kingdom was to be a
spiritual one. and they looked for a
temporal affair that would be en
forced at the point of the oword and
with power. Christ commanded
Peter to put up his sword and at

had been foretold by the prophets
that He should be despise . and re
jected of men. a man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief. And when
He came He was crucified, and the
Jew’s saw no comeliness about Him
that they should desire Him. The
Greeks, however, were drawn to Him.
They came to the apostles and said:
“YVe would see Jesus.” Jesus, seeing
that the hour was at hand in which
Ho should be glorified, comforted by
the seeking of the Greeks, ••aid; *1
if I be lifted up will draw all men
unto Myself. ‘ So Jews and Greeks,
members of Israel's chosen race, and
Gentiles, good and bad. rich and
poor, learned and unlearned, should
be drawn to Jesus, who to them
would through the cross become
Saviour and King..
The Jcy of Jesus.
For the joy that was set before Him
He endured the, shadows of the cross
already casting its rays of darkness
across His life. Isaiah told of the
time in which He should see of the
travail of His soul and should be sat
isfied. He longed for the world to
seek Him. whom to know was eternal
life, and it was a ray of light piercing
the extreme darkness that was then
settling down upon Him to see the
inquiring Greeks looking for Him No
greater joy came into the life of
Christ than to see sons and daughters
born into the Kingdom, becoming
His followers and His loyal adher
ents. Over the birth of one soul into
Hie Kingdom there Is a threefold re
juicing—rejoicing among the angels,
rejoicing among the saved here on
earth and real joy in the heart of a
loving Saviour. His appointed time
was drawing near in which He should
be lifted up on the cross and there
complete the great work of redemp
tion for the sons and daughters of the
entire human race, or at least so
lea\es are for the healing of nat.onv

COTTON GOSSIP
NEW YORK. Deo 2.—Th« opening of
the cotton market was very firm, with
little cotton for sale. laverpool was
better than due. Shorts were good buy

ness was light. Waters was about the
best bidder on the opening. He also
bought some cotton. Mltchefl was also
noticeable on the buying side. E. K.
