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.

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.

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,

In 1930; 122,816,000 pounds of fine

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." '
"Consumption of domestic wool In
1031 was 28 per cent larger than the
average for the past five years, while
consumption of foreign wool for the
