BAR SILVER.
LONDON, Dee. 30.—Bar silver quiet
at 26%d. A „
NEW YORK. Dec. 30.—Commercial
bar silver. 57%c. Mexican dollars, 44%e.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says "Wheat
developed an oversold condition follow
ing a small break at the opening, made
in sympathy with the decline in cory
and lower cables, but prices rallied and
closed at the top with net gains of 1%
on December and % cent on deferred
futures.
"Congestion in December corn became
acute and shorts led by Armour brokers
and the buying by Bartlett and Frazer
made the advance, prices going up 2%
cents over the low point made early
with the close at the top, at 70%, and
net gains of 2% cents. The failure of
the leading longs to sell and fears that
part of the corn intended for delivery
on December contracts might get into
store in time for delivery this month,
were factors in inducing shorts to cover,
as was also the strength in the cash
market."
* * *
Bartlett-Frazier Company say:
‘‘Wheat—It is possible that we may
have a settled setback to-day, as there
was a good deal of short covering yes
terday, but we continue to adhere to the
long side of the market.
"Corn—The market is still oversold,
and we believe that the present longs
will adhere to their holdings.
"Oats—Prices will be influenced more
or less by the action in other grains.
“Provisions—We continue to favor the
long side on all setbacks.”

Text: "1 beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God that ye
present your bodies a living sacrifice,
r.oly, acceptable unto God, which is
your reasonable service,” Romans
xii:1.
In writing to the Romans Paul had |
in mind to cheer the brethren by plac- I
ing before them a task which they cop Id
easily perforin. At first blush it seems
to be a thing impossible, a task stu
pendous, but after all, in the light of
what Christ has done for us, the re
quest is not so hard. Our bodies must
indeed be brought into complete sub
jection to the Master if we are ever
able to render unto Him that type of
service which is helpful and influential
in kingdom building.
The new year is upon us. It looms
great with possibilities and opportuni
ties for service that is really worth
while. We can be shirkers and neglect
duty, or we can be workers and do our
duty, or we can be jerkers—pushing in
and doing big things to-day and to
morrow falling out, and wearied by a
few seemingly futile efforts, give up and
quit. But the quitters never turned
the world upside down as did Paul and
his companion. This good year 1914
that comes to us fraught with such
mighty potentialities for good as well
as evil is going to mean much or little
to us in proportion as we obey or ac
cede to Paul’s request
The New Year Will Be What You
Make It.
With the emphasis on the personal
pronoun you. Alas! that so many of
11s should be persuaded into feeling
that the year to us will be good de
spite any efforts put forth on our be
half to make it good.
It will not be what some one else
makes it. You can make it a happy and
prosperous, pleasant and delightful one,
or else you can make it a thing not at
all desirable. Invest wisely the pre
cious years ahead of you, and in order
to do that it is absolutely necessary
to seize and improve aright each pass
ing moment of the coming year. Each
man is (lie aichitect of his own for
tune, the constructor of his own des
tiny. Environment and circumstances
play a large part in the making of a
man, but to one who purposes in his
heart that he will not be defiled by
surroundings. Daniel-like he shall be
clothed with fine garments, a chain
of authority with golden links thrown
about his neck and he will become the
third ruler in the kingdom. We make
an environment with our own charac
ter. A fiery furnace heated seven times
hotter than usual was to most men who
think an undesirable environment, but
to the three Hebrew children it was a
place to be desired, for the likeness of
a fourth person was seen, who greatly
resembled the Son of God. With Jesus
with us, our surroundings are alto
gether desirable.
The Importance of Surrendering to
Christ.
Nineteen hundred years ago Jesus, in
speaking to His disciples in that mar
velous fourteenth chapter of John, said;
“I am the way, the truth and the life,
no man eometh unto the Father but by
Me.” In becoming the way for us, He
has Himself gone before. He has been,
according to His very own testimony,
tempted in eevry point as we are,
and yet without sin. By His perfect
ness we are saved. He brought out for
us the great plan of salvation, provided
for the needs of our immortal souls,
bountifully arranged for the longings
and comforts of the human body, and
wtih Him we are safe. By His side we
walk the way of life eternal, a blessing
to the wor’d about us. Apart from Him
we merely stumble through life and live
at a poor, dying rate.
Rev. .1. R. Miller well says. "Every
mile of The journey He has chosen, and
every place where I pitch my tent He
has selected for me.” Great it is to
have a friend that sticketh closer than
a brother to go before us and select our
way. To investigate, and find out the
rough places, and with infinite tact and
love set to work to make such places
smooth. This year to us with Chris!
will mean all things good. Without
Christ was must walk in a way that is
rough and hard and that will end in
everlasting ruin.
We Can Consecrate the Whoie Man to
Christ.

day, like those nineteen hundred years
ago, stubbornly close their eyes and
hearts to the fact that Christianity was
originally intended for all the people,
end that it was to act like leaven and
eventually leaven the whole lump. As
ceticism has proven to be a failure.
Monasticism will never bring a world
f ill of lost men and women to Jesus.
The brain must be given to Christ
for the best results. Study history and
see the potent factors that Washing
ton, Gladstone, the German Kmperor,
Lincoln and others were. The minds
of these giants were concentrated on
Christ. Consecrated men have been the
levers that have under God lifted the
world to its present attitude. The body
is not to be despised. It was created
by God. Man was made in God's im
age and there is much that is noble
and Godlike in man. even though the
serpent has left his strong trail over it
all. The call of the day is for conse
crated Christians to perforin aright the
great tasks of world building devo ving
upon the men of this generation.
The glory of the new year is in
the hands of the Christ and His will is
that His own reflected glory may he
theirs, may belong in deed and truth
to His followers. To ti c man who loves
Christ every day is glorious. It is good
to live. The spirit of that wonderful
old hymn:
"How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus no longer 1 see
Sweet prospects, sweet birds and sweet
flowers
Have all lost all their sweetness to me.
The midsummer’s sun shines but dim.
The fields strive in vain to look gay,
But when I am happy in Him
December's as pleasant as May,”
is good. It should characterize our atti
tude during the whole of the incoming
year. Christ should be constantly with
us.
Resolutions.
The time for new resolves is at hand,
and doubtless many good ones will be
made. May they not be broken. But
may each servant of the King vow and
keep his vow. Scattering sunshine is a
delightful and pleasant occupation.
Cheers and smiles as one passes along
the way which Fate allows him to walk
but once are exceedingly precious things
to leave as a heritage to those who fol
low. Try new tactics on men to pro
duce results of the desired kind. The
best way in the world to work off a
grouchy spell is to work it away with
smiles. The world can’t resist a .smile.
The world responds to the call of the
smije. Some man recently, referring to
a friend, sand: "He looks ilke he wants
your friendship.” And usually friendship
, is bestowed on such a one. This being
a new year, therefore be it resolved:
That, during this good year I’ll conse
crate my life to the service of My Lord,
and help as best I can while going
through life iny fellows who need my
help regardless of wealth or places of
political preferment. Oftentimes the
neediest is the one who is seemingly
best off. To love the Lord with all my
heart, soul and strength and my neigh
bor as I love myself.
Gratitude Prompts Us to Use Oppor
tunities.
These golden hours and days come
to each for us as the special gift of the
Father Jt was His good will that our
lives should be spared, that our souls
should be saved. For tins purpose His
love provided a means of escape in the
person of His only begotten San. Could
love do more than to save at the price
of that which was dearest to love?
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.”
When we've been there ten thousand
years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God's praise
That when we first begun.”
Wonderfgul grace! Hard, indeed,
must be the heart that this glorious
New Year fails to respond with grati
tude and love to the goodness and mercy
of our Lord. May His rod and staff
guide us all during the coming days and
months, and when another year shall
close may we all be one year’s time
closer to the great white throne where
the rewards are to be meted out by
Christ Himself to those who through
the vicissitudes and trials of this life
have been faithful unto death. »
