TWELVE MILLION GAIN IN
THE STATE BANK DEPOSITS
Georgia Department Reports Gratify
ing Increase in Six Months
Deposits in state banks in Georgia
increased nearly $12,000,000 during
the last six months in 1933, the state
banking department reports.
Deposits totaled approximately
$72,000,000 on December 30, 1932,
and dropped to $65,750,000 on Jur.e
30, 1933, after the close of the bank
ing holiday. On Decembes 30, 1933,
deposits rose to more than $77,000,-
000.
The increase was recorded despite
n drop from 252 banks and eleven
branches at the end of 1932, to 220
banks and nine branches on the first
of tnis year.
R. E. Gormley, head of the bank
ing department, used the condition
reports as the basis for a prediction
that 1934 will see the return of “al
most normal business and banking
conditions.”

DOUBT ABOUT RFC
LOANS FOR BANKS
STATE BANKING HEAD DISAP
POINTED OVER AID £OR DE
POSITORS IN CLOSED FINAN
CIAL INSTITUTIONS
Atlanta, Ga. —Disappointment over
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
decisions on liquidation loan appli
cations for Georgia banks is evident
at the state banking department.
R. E. Gormley, state superinten
dent of banks, declined to discuss the
matter in detail, or to give out any
figures until he has obtained full
official information, but he did say
under questioning that the depart
ment had not accepted any of the
loans offered by the RFC, and would
not do so without further serious
consideration.
Few if any of about 30 loans ap
plied for were approved in Washing
ton for amounts even approximating
the sums for which the hanking de
partment applied, it was generally
reported in capitol and financial cir
cles here, and in a number of cases
the RFC offered as little as 25 per
cent of the appraised value of the
assets of the closed banks.
On the basis of information that
the Reconstruction Corporation was
committed to a policy of accepting
liberal appraisals and reducing only
a reasonable amount for liquidation
expenses, the banking department es
timated at the time negotiations for
the loans were begun, that as much
as $5,000,000 might be obtained for
the depositors of closed banks.
As approved in Washington, it was
understood, the total would not ap
proach that figure, but might go as
low as $2,000,000 or less.
Local Bank Included
Depositors in the Jackson Bank
ing Company are interested in this
report. Application for a loan on the
assets of that bank was made some
weeks ago, after a local committee
had appraised the assets, and at that
time it was reported the depositors
might be paid in full. The matter will
be followed with close interest.
WAR ON RATS WILL AFFORD
EMPLOYMENT FOR 10,000
By supervising a campaign to de
stroy rats in Georgia, Alabama and
Texas, the Bureau of Biological Sur
vey, U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, is co-operating with the Federal
Public Health Service in a program
of typhus-fever control in these
states. Rats act as hosts for ths
fleas that transmit fever to human
beings.
Under an allotment by the Civil
Works Admiinstration, the anti-rat
campaign will give work to 10,000
men for two and a half months
Working in small crews the men will
distribute red squill baits and later
will set traps as a follow-up measure.

Sunday School Lesson
(By Rev. Charles E. Dunn)
Timely Warnings.
Lesson for February 11th. Matt. 7.
Golden Text: Matt. 7:19.
Our chapter contains the final seg
ment of the Sermon on the Mount.
In it are commands that may be con
sidered acid tests of judgment for
the guidance of the Christian.
The first is the test of chairitable
judgment (vs. 1). This warning not
to judge cannot 'be interpreted in
any absolute sense for judgment is a
necessity. What Jesus means is well
summed up by President Park, of
Wheaton College: “Do not judge an
other harshly, unless facts drive you
to it, unless you hate to do it, unless
there is something in the man that
you like.” And remember that an un
kind estimate is a boomerang, return
ing to plague its author. “Judge not,
that YOU may not be judged.” “Crit
icisms,” says Prof. Hayes, “are like
chickens; they always come home to
roost.”
The second test the Master recom
mends is a discriminating reserve in
offering the blessings of our religion
(vs. 6). Aristotle advances similar
counsel: “Do not let your wisdom
fall on the public highway.”
The third test is that of resolute
desire (vs. 7,8). Here is vigorous
testimony to the effectiveness of
persistent ambition, of continued
prayer, of long sustained effort. It
is the law of life that a dominant
wish will finally reach its goal.
The next test is the familiar Gold
en Rule (vs. 12). This is the climax
of the Sermon, that “little bundle,”
as Luther says, into which all its in
struction is gathered.
We come now to the test of the
two ways (vs. 13, 14). How many
walk in the wide, well lighted boule
vard of destruction, so alluring to
the eye!
The final test is the doing of God’s
Will (vs. 21). It is not essential that
the individual disciple should ’be a
“go-getter,” a super-salesman. His

supreme need is the possession of in
ward Christian grace. So also with
the Society of Christ. Magnificent
buildings, large budgets, heavy in
creases in membership will not save
the church unless it demonstrates, by
its prayerful walk with God, that it
is actually doing the Father’s Will.
