Sermonette Edited by , Harriet R. MacDonald "Because I live, ye shall live also." John 14:19. The testimony of the Bible as to life after death and as to that world in which man shall live to eternity is fairly overwhelming in Its abund ance. Genesis alone contains more than 40 references to and descrip tions of experiences which in these modern days would be called "psy chic" or "super-normal." To rightly appreciate this testi mony, however, it is necessary ta approach the Bible as though fo: the very first . time, examining It without prejudice, doctrinal bias, or scientific preconceptions. And If you do not put it down at the end of your reading with the exclamation that here is a volume unique in the literature of the world I shall be very much surprised, Indeed. You must be careful, of course, to con sider the testimony there offered as coming from men and women as sin cere as yourself, set down simply, and without comment, or explana tion. From this point of view the Bible would fairly seem a supple mentary volume of the "Proceedings of the Socioty for Psychical Re search," but, It Is, of course, Indefi nitely more than that it Is our own Divine Father's loving guidance over the pathway of life from earth to heaven. It gives us heaven sent light upon the Glorious Beyond, that Land toward which we move the neorer with every setting sun. Wm. R. REECE. Former Oregon s Man Shot Down By Chicago Foe CHICAGO.

Wool Men Look Forward to 1932 For Recoveries BOSTON (Special) With one of the most difficult marketing years In history behind It, during which a tremendous task was (accomplished, the National Wool Marketing cor poration looks forward to 1932, con vinced that the trend of events in the coming year will favor a more ac tive wool market at firm to better prices. That is the opinion of J. Byron Wilson, McKinley, Wyo., general manager of the wool marketing agency for 40,000 wool growers of the United States as the cooperative be gins activity to await arrival of an anticipated large 1932 clip from the thousands or producers. "Through 1931, darkest year of a world-wldo depression, when every commodity took price declines, .wool held Its own." Wilson said. Wool was one of the reV commodities to' show an increase in consumption, during the unsettled year. The In crease came during retrenchment periods of production, labor diffi culties and general Inactivity. Marketing conditions for wool should lmprovo during 1932 for many reasons, Mr. Wilson believes. These Include increased consurnptlon, cur tailed production because of smaller carry-ever of sheep and a constantly growing demand for wool. Large re placement needs by mills now op erating with depleted stocks on a hand-to-mouth buying policy also will bring about heavier buying. "For the urst ten months of 1931 the United States consumed 03 mil lion pounds more wool than in the same period of 1930," Mr. Wilson sold. "These figures, which are ex clusive of Imported carpet wools, clearly Indicate that the nation has returned to wool and that general betterment is in store for the long suffering wool Industry. "Style trends brought wool Into the, spotlight a ye?.r ago and the, steady demand for lighter woolens and worsteds has grown so strongly that wool cannot be easily replaced or removed from a low wool-minded Miylng public. The National has co operated with all branches of the wool Industry In conducting wool promotion and an education cam paign to boost wool. In the fall of 1931 our organization took the lead in sponsoring National Wool Week, when $25,000,000 worth of woolen and worsted fabrics were sold.

Three others were Indicted, and all poMcd bonds ami were released. the sterliug of all fabrics, makes it obvious that wool will be the stand ard-bearer of dominating style trends for 1932 and for many years to come. With this demand Increasing, wool consumption will continue in pro-1 portion and' the supply for this year' should bring better prices. , . , j Consumption on all grades of do mestic wool, except low quarter blood was-'greater in the first nine months of 1931 than for the same period a year ago. This is espe cially 'true of three-eighths blood wool, which experienced a 'run' from mills whon It was learned that tho supply was low. The increased de mand for three-eighths wool -. also helped stimulate demand for other medium grades. "Consumption! by grades In tho United States for the 'first nine months of 1931 and for 1930 showed that 49.238,000 pounds of three eights wool was used, compared to 32, 109.000 pounds for the same period In 1930; 122,816,000 pounds of fine combing or 20,000,000 pounds more than for nino months a year ago. The United ., States consumed 50.000,000 pounds half blood wool, or 10,000, 000 pounds more than the first three quarters of the year 1930. "World wool production for the entire year of 1931 was four per cent above that of 1930, totaling 2,669, 000.000 pounds. Figures on the en tire year's consumption are not yet available, but for the first 10 months months of 1931, world consumption was estimated to be 20 per cent greater than in 1030. In tho first 10 months of 1931 the United States had consumed 357.600,000 pounds of wool, exclusive of carpet wool. This compares to 204,820,000 pounds for the same period a year ago. ' "Estimated United States produc tion for 1931 is 432,700,000 pounds or 28.000,000 pounds more than a year ago."
