Building Activities In Texas
Houston is crawling along to the top. Houston set
a terrific building pace the first of the year. Permits
this year total more than twice as much as those of
Fort Worth. Now It is claimed that the total for the
Bayou City for the first five months of the year is
more than $15,000,000. $6,000,000 more than San An
tonio and $10,000,000 more than either Fort Worth or
Dallas. Dallas over-built; Fort Worth over-built and
there are wise men who say that San Antonio is near

Houston has a deep water channel to the gulf.
Houston has multi-millionaires and millionaires. They
spent their money to make their city a deep water

“HEARKEN unto my voice and i
WILL BE YOUR GOD AND YE SHALL
BE MY PEOPLE11 * * xJcrerni-ah 7*23
Br dr. alvine e. bell
We are all familiar with the sign
On the steps of our railway coaches
with its friendly warning. ‘ Watch
your step.” It might not be amiss
to have something of the sort on
the church vestibules to remind us
of the need of ‘ watching our step”
spiritually as we enter our places
of worship.
This was the object of Jeremiah
when God stationed him at the tem
ple gate to warn those who entered
the temple so that they might wor
ship God in the proper spirit. "Thus
sai*h the Lord of hosts, the God
of Israel, Amend your ways and your
doings, and I will cause you to
dwell in this place Trust ye not
in lying words, saying, the temple
of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.
!re these." Such vain repetitions”
many hava none of the elements of
worship in them and so become an
abomination to the Lord. Dr. Mof
fett* translation renders this part
if our lesson thus. "Do not rely on
false phrases like 'This is the Eter
nal's own Temple. His very own
Temple.” Such a ritual, however
rendered, cannot please God if it
comes from lying lips and unclean
lives and insincere hearts. Not that
ritual or forms of worship are oi
themselves offensive to God. They
are only so when they are offered
as a substitute for sincere praise
and genuine spiritual worship.
Lips and Lives Must Agree
Israel's trouble was that their
lives weer not in accord with their
lips in matters of religion. There
fore. Jeremiah demanded. “If ye
thoroughly amend your ways and
your doings; if ye thoroughly ex
ecute judgment between a man and
his neighbor; if ye oppress not the
stranger .the fatherless, and the
widow, and shed not Innocent blood
, in this place, neither walk aftei
1 ether gods to your hurt; then will 1
cause you to dwell In this place, in
the land that I gave to your fathers
for ever and ever.* But these were
crushers associations are represented. All the big
dairy and cheese associations are represented.
Representatives of these organizations united in
issuing a declaration that "the new tariff bill gener
ally will not satisfy farmers because it does not pro
vide adequate duties on major projects of the farm.’*
Really the political row on between the makers of
things and the growers of things has very Interesting
side lights. For 50 years the growers have been de
feated in their battles for their demand. For 50 years
the makers have been the winners.
Just now the tartff appears to be a burning issue
and the farm relief problem threatens trouble for the
Hoover administration. It has been a war of words
from the beginning on the part of the growers and a
war of action and results on the part of the makers.
■y— - - -
Tying the Hands of the President
American senators are Jealous of their rights. The
house farm relief bill did not fix the salary of the
president of the farm relief board to be named by the
president. Framers of the bill Insisted that it should
be left to the president to fix the salary' as well as to
name the head of the new bureau or commission cre
ated by the congress.
Senators thought otherwise.
They fixed the salary at $12,000 per year. Then
they provided by amendment that in the absence of
the president of the farm relief board, its members
should select a vice chairman or president to act as
its head. ,
A president or a governor proposes; a congress or
a legislature disposes. In magazines and newspapers
and in the literature of the glib-tongued politicians,
"the people are the masters." Are they?
Borah Defends His Vote
Sen. William E. Borah of Idaho is always inter
esting. always unique, always changeable and always
eloquent. He defends his vote against the Fess charge
of disloyalty to the president. He had been for the
debenture plan three years. He voted for the plan
and this is the sting in his explanation:
"I am sure that Mr. Hoover did not assume for a
moment that by my support I was changing my views
upon public questions or surrendering the right to
form them. Only a base class of Intellectual slaves
would entertain or promulgate such an idea.”
Sen. Fress of Ohio saw the point. Borah dearly
loves to Impale upon his shining spear the political
j cuttle fish of the period. A base intellectual slave, in
politics or high place, is a "yes" man. Borah isn't a
"yes" man.

trying to cover up the omission by

Obedience Rather Than Oblations
Prophet after prophet had re
iterated the Old Testament teach
ing that the simple requirement of
their God was that they ‘ do Justly,
and love mercy, and walk humbly
with their God.” and that his delight
was "not in burnt offering, but in
the sacrifice t>f a broken spirit."
God despises sacrifices and offerings
when they are offered in lieu of "a
broken and a contrite heart ' Writ
ing checks for large benefactions to
charitable institutions and religious
causes does not blind God’s eyes to
the sinful way in which one's money
has been gotten or to the absence
of that love for God and man which
is the essence of true religion. Un
less sacrifices and burnt offerings
are the expression of true love to
God he says "Put your burnt offer
ings, unto your sacrifices, and eat
flesh.” or. as Dr. Moffett s transla
tion vividly gives It, "You can add
your burnt offerings to yodr other
sacrifices and eat the flesh your
selves.” He does not thank us for
such offerings. Obligations can
never take the place of obedience.

Grady Woodruff of Decatur, au

"The findings of the committee

GO DOWNWARD
Only Handful High Priced
Specialties Were Whirl

By STANLEY W. PHENOSIL
Associated Press Financial Editor
NEW YORK, May 18.—(AV-Stock
prices drifted downward today in
reflection of growing uneasiness
over the credit situation. A handful
of high-priced specialties were
whirled upward, but the general list
was under rather heavy pressure.
With the San Francisco federal
reserve bank raising its rediscount
rate to 5 per cent this week, placing
all 12 central banks at the same
level, and directors of the New York
and Chicago banks reported in fa
vor of a high rate, speculators for
the advance found little encourage
ment few a resumption of buying
operations. Time money rates were
reported to have stiffened, with 9
1-2 per cent now asked for some
maturities.
Another sharp break in advance
Rumely issues, the common break
ing 9 points and the preferred 7.
also tended to unsettle the market.
Efforts were made to start a revival
of buying operations in the oil
shares, based on the prospect of an
early increase in mid-continent
crude oil prices, but they made little
headway.
Burroughs Adding Machine con
tinued to respond to reports of stock
split-up by soaring 9 1-4 points to a
new high record at 327 1-4. Sparks
Withington. after an early interval
of heaviness, ran up 8 points to a
new high at 260. Curtiss Aeroplane
and Allied Chemical extended their
early gains to 7 points and then ran
into a wave of selling which cut the
gains in half. One block of 10,000
shares of Postum changed hands at
78. up 1 1-2.
Auburn Auto and Case Threshing
Machine each sagged 6 points below
yesterday's final quotations, and
Greene Cananea Copper, Otis Ele
vator. American Tobacco B, Spiegel,
May. Stern. Annaconda Copper and
Borg Warner sank 3 to 5 points.
Several df the recent leaders such as
American Smelting. American Can.
United Aircraft. Simmons and Gen

or more.
The closing was heavy. Total
