The fruits of the recent industry wide effort of the cotton manufac turers to proclaim to this country the versatility of cotton for wear ing apparel are being gathered in already and it is no stretch of the imagination merely to conclude that this late program will eventu ate into one of the most construc tive undertakings of its kind on record in America. In an official statement, George A. Sloan, president of the Cotton Textile Institute, calling attention to these early reapings from the effort to bring cotton into dramatic focus, declares that sales of fine cotton goods and print cloth yam fabrics for the first five months <?f 1931 were 14 per cent greater than for the same period in 1930 and only 7 per cent less than dur ing the five-month period of peak A . , A _ ac.ivity in 1929.

Mr. Sloan says that this remark able business improvement in cot ton goods principally used for wearing apparel, in the face of general depression, can be at tributed to (1) the consistent ap proach to the consuming public during the past three years through style advertising financed by a spocial fund contributed by this branch of the industry: (2) the great improvements in styling and designing which have kept pace with the promotional efforts, and (3) the growing fashion im portance of cotton which (1) de veloped and (3) is helping to main tain. President Sloan in his statement therewith submits some intriguing queries to the trade as to what it proposes to do now in order to con- jolidate these worth-while gains and to capitalize upon them to a maximum. We quote: Is the cotton industry to r.tand by and risk the loss of continuing benefits from national cotton week and all that it represents? Are there not equal or greater oppor tunities for concerned adevertising of household and industrial uses of ?otton as have been realized in wearing apparel? Isn’t some effort to be made to put cotton draper ies and curtains in the millions of American homes and office build ings? Can’t some lesson be tak en by the manufacturers of awn ing materials from the fact that national advertising has taken brass pips plumbing out of the luxury class and put it in standard specifications for the average American home? How many architects and interior decorators are familiar with the decorative oossibilities of cotton wall cover ings? What industry-wide effort has ever been made to dramatize the hygienic qualities of cotton towels for public schools, office buildings and other institutions? Has the industry stopped to con sider the greatly increased volume of business that would come from an organized selling appeal among furniture and automobile manu facturers in behalf of cotton up holstery materials?

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Generosity of the Early Christians. Social service as such was not a department of church activity. How ever, the early church was most ready to discharge its social obligations. Members of the body of Christ are sympatheticully related. I. Characteristics of the Early Church (Acts 4 :31-35). I. It was a praying church (v. .31). These early Christians for every need betook themselves to Cod in prayer. *J. It was a Spirit-filled church (v. 31). When they prayed, the place wherein they were gathered together was shaken and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. 3. It was a church with a bold tes timony (v. 31). The ministers of the early church did not offer any apology for the Bible, hut expended their en ergy in fearlessly preaching it. 4. It was a united church (v. 32). They were all of one heart and soul. 5. It was a generous church (v. 32). They held nothing back from those who had need. 0. Its ministers had a powerful tes timony (v. 33). 7. Its members had an unblemished character (v. 33). II. Appointment of Deacons (Acts 0:1-4). 1. The occasion (v. 1). The church was threatened with disruption over suspected partiality in the distribu tion of alms. The Grecians felt dis criminated against In that their wid ows were neglected In the “daily min- Istratlons.” 2. The issue met (vv. 2-0). A con gregational meeting was called, the case placed before the church, and the church instructed to select seven men of good report, filled with the Holy Spirit and wisdom to administer the temporalities of the church, leaving the apostles freedom for prayer and the ministry of Cod’s Word. 3. The ministry of the deacons (v. 7). They looked after the poor, but while distributing alms, they were witnessing for Christ. Social service is a by-product of Christianity and not Christianity Itself. III. The Raising of Dorcas (Acts 9:3G-39). 1. Her ministry (v. 30 Of. v. 39). Her life was full of good works, such as making coats and garments for the poor. Her noble ministry has set in motion countless numbers of needles, and has given incentive to many noble women to follow her example. The good deeds were not merely those which she intended to do, but “which she did.” 2. Her death (v. 37). In the midst of a life full of good works she was overtaken hy death. 3. Peter sent for (v. 38). In their distress the disciples sent two men urgently to request Peter to comb to them. Having heard of the healing of Aeneas at Lydda, which was near, they no doubt believed that he could restore Dorcas to life. 4. Dorcas raised (vv. 39-41). In an swer to Peter’s prayer Dorcas was “presented alive to the saints and widows.” 5. The effect (v. 42). So astounding was this miracle that “many believed in the Lord.” IV. Ministering to the Saints (IT Cor. 9:1-7). The saints in need were Christians at Jerusalem. Many were impover ished hern use of embracing Christian ity. Sending money to the saints at Jerusalem was an expression of affec tion on the part of these Centile Christians for the Jews. As an in centive to giving Paul shows: 1. That the volume of reaping Is based upon the volume of sowing (v. 0). 2. There should be a heart purpose (v. 7). This calls for intelligence as to the object in giving. 3. (living should not he of necessity (v. 7). No particular value accrues to the giver who only responds under pressure. 4. Cod loves a cheerful giver (v. 7). Right understanding of responsibility toward Cod with reference to tem poral possessions will make giving a glorious privilege.
