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.” COTTON SEED OIL.

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. Unfortunately for us men have drawn 8 line of demarcation between the sec ular and sacred, the natural and spirit ual, the temporal and eternal that is to all intents and purposes almost in surmountable.

SALT—One hundred pounds, 53c; salt 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. » \ brick (plain), per case, $2.25; salt brick (medicated), per case, $4.85; salt red rock, per hundredweight, $1; salt white, per hundredweight, 90c; Qranoeryscal, per case, 25-lb. sacks, 85c; salt, Ozone, per case, 30 packages, 90c; 50-lb. sacks, 30c; 25-lb. sacks, 18c.
