The president opened the way for inclusion of this latest major as an amendment to the farm relief bill in the senate. Applying on farm mortgages, the message proposed both readjustment of the principal farmers debt and a reduction of the interest rates.

He al disclosed he would ask congress soon for legislation permitting the initaition of reciprocal tariff agreement. "That many, thousands of farmers in all parts of the country are unable to meet the indebtedness incurred when their crop prices had a very different money, value is well known to all the message read. "The legislation now pending, which seeks to raise agricultural commodity prices, is a definite, step to enable farm debtors to pay their indebtedness in commodity terms more closely approximating those in which indebteoness was incurred; but that is not enough.

Mott, well known evangelist, formerly of Winston-Salem, now pastor of the First Baptist by church, Spartanburg, S. began an evangelistic campaign at Western Avenue Baptist church here Sunday, preaching at 11 c'elock, a. m. and at 7:30 p. m.

He was greeted by capacity audiences at each ervice. Mr. Z. Miller Freeman, associate paste of Western Avenue Raptist church, is directing the music and his excellent work is proving an teresting and helpful feature of the meeting. For his initial sermon at 11 o'clock Sunday morning, Rev.

Mr. Mott spoke on the theme, "Jesus Preaching to the Multitude," reading his text Luke 5: 1-11. The speaker emphasized, first, the word of God in its attractiveness. The people were pressing Jesus to hear the word of God, and in the present day we must return to hear the of God. Second, the call of Jesus to His disciples to assist Him.

He His disciples cleansing their Clean nets, the speaker found. pointed out, are necessary for successful fishing; so, with human lives those who would win souls must have claen lives. After Jesus had around taught the multitudes who gathered the shores of the lake, He the disciples, who were commanded in the boat to into the deep end let down their nets for the draught of fish. The big business of Christians in the church and individual Christians today is to catch men and to do this they must thrust out into the deep, where men have failed in life, and offer the saving gospel. For the message Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock, Mr.

announced as his text Luke "Where 15 thy faith?" In his introductory remarks, the minister stated that we may take, chances concerning the present life, but we cannot afford to take chances on eternity. Our destinies are fixed by what we believe concerning Christ Jesus. "He that believeth in the Son hath everlastling life; he that believeth not the Son hath not life, but the wrath of God abideth on him." It is imposgible to please God without faith. In this day of stress and strain, men 'are turning from the world, by simple faith, to God. We have been trusting in money, men and things; today, we are beginning to find life by exercising simple faith in Christ Jesus as our only hope.

At the close of the evening service there was a gratifying response, many, coming forward and expressing desire to live the holier life. Some were added to the church membership. There will be preaching this evening at 7:30, and each evening throughout the week, at 7:30 o'clock. The public is cordially invited to attend each service. Mr.
