As you know from reading the Bible that when Jesus and His deciples were at the marriage feast that Mary, the mother of Jesus, toid him that they had no wine and his reply to her was, “woman what have Ito do with thee, my hour has not yet come”, but when his hour did come they found that at his command they had plenty of wine When the Centnarian came to Jesus to get him to lead his servant at the same time that Jesus spoke the work the word the fever left the patient and be was healed. When they told Jesus that Lazarus was sick he still abode where he was for three days and then went and raised him from the dead, there by showing the power of God. Did you notice that when Jaaob was alone then there ap peared a man and wrestled with him when it was dark, but when day broke he broke Jacob’s thigh or dislocated it and then the man became an angel to Jacob. Now dear friends let us see what that means When the thought was thrown out of Jacob’s mind then day broke for him and the contented thought was the angel As long as we can see only the evil or faults of other people it seems to be dark aud we can only see them as common men, but when we be gin to look for the good deeds and listen to their kind words then they will appear as angels and day will break for us and we will begin to live a happy life. Now reader, did you know that there was a time for all things and that at no other time, accord ing to the Bible, could Jesus have lived and done the things that he did, and at no other time could I sit here and write these same words. Did you ever have a desire to know the inner mean ing which is the spiritual mean ing of your Bible. I am very greatful for the day that I start ed to study with unity school of Christianity, located at 917 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Then with Dr. Frank B. Robinson, of Moscow, Idaho. At that time I could only see the Bible from a literal standpoint, but now I see it so different. Now dear friends I want you to read this with an unbiased mind and follow me closely from time to time on the foilwing subjects: Judgement, Love, Mercy, and many others and spend a few dollars with the above named publications and learn how to read your Bible and subscribe to the Wheeler County Eagle and study with me and I will tell you of some of the wond erful revelation that I received from the Lord, and it may be that you may profit by the same. Your friend, C. Lowery. 444 Depot St., Rockmark, Ga. BANK CHARTERING POLICY REVIEWED State Official Declares Correct Principles in Licensing Banks Are Essential for Sound Banking Conditions PHILADELPHIA. — Sound public policy in chartering banks was dis cussed by Carl K. Withers, Commis sioner of Banking and Insurance of the State of New Jersey, before the Eastern Conference on Banking Service, held here recently under the auspices of the American Bankers Association. He de dared that "few questions bearing on the future stability and security of our banking systems loom as more impor tant than that of a sound policy to be pursued in the chartering of banks.” Alluding to competitive policies ot both state and national banking au thoritles to charter the most banks in the past, he said that "this country was over-banked, and that aside from any other consideration, economic or other wise, this condition was brought about largely through an unwise, unsafe and unthinking charter policy, alternating between the state and national sys tems, which has marked and ham pered banking progress in this country since its very Inception.” Political Influence He decried political considerations in connection with the chartering of banks, saying: “Political influence has no more place in banking than it has in the deliberations of our highest tribunal —The Supreme Court of the United States. Until this is recognized and brought into being within both our state and national systems, we may never feel safe against the shifting sands of political expedience.” As to the "element of sometimes ridiculous competition heretofore ex isting between the state and national systems," he said that much may be said in favor of the progress made In recent years. In many states there ex ists a practical working agreement bo tween local supervising authorities and the federal authorities, whereby all charter applications are mutually considered on a basis of community need rather than competitive advan tage as between systems. In some states this arrangement goes even fur ther in the refusal of the one authority to even consider a charter while pend Ing with the other, he declared. Aside from the competitive and po litical aspects ot our future charter policy, he continued, there are several others more individual and local which merit consideration. Among these he mentioned honesty of purpose, com munlty need, the character of manage ment and adequacy of capital. Most state laws make reference to the "character, responsibility and fit ness" ot the incorporators ot a new bank, he said, continuing: “So Important do I conceive this fac tor to be, that 1 place It first among those for consideration, for unless the motive is sound, honest and sincere, there Is little likelihood that the result ant Institution in its service to the community will reflect other than the spirit of Its founders. The Lessons of the Past "Too often in the past have charters been granted to promoters pure and simple—not always pure, and by no means simple. The country was dotted with such. The experience has been costly and, it is to be hoped, the lesson well learned, not only by charter-grant ing authorities, but the public.” Other factors to be considered as among the most Important in granting new bank charters, he said, are the number of institutions already serving the area, the record of earniugs of ex isting institutions, the number of fail ures since 1920, and the reasons there for, public convenience and advantage, the reasonable prospects for growth of the community, expectation of prof itable operation and whether a branch bank could servo as well. "Sound public policy demands that no new banks be chartered unless there is a definite, necessitous and permanent need,” he declared. "Sound mergers, consolidations and the sen sible extension ot branch banking are much to be preferred to any general movement toward a flood of new char ters. But here again we must guard carefully against monopoly or un bridled branch competition, either ot which might become as dangerous as the organization of new banks.” Public Confidence Challenging a recently published statement that there is an "apparent loss of public confidence in banks,’ William A. Boyd of Ithaca, N. Y., asks why. it this were true, bank de posits are constantly increasing. "1 maintain that any banking institution which has continued to serve its com munlty since the trying days of 1929 must be enjoying the respect and con fidence of that community, and 1 am sure that the very large majority of banking institutions which have come through this depression have never had to 'regain' public confidence,” he says. Trust Institutions A directory of trust Institutions pub lished by the Trust Division, American Bankers Association, lists 2,853 fnsti tutlous having aggregate capital funds of 34,416,000,000 and total resources of 335,443,000,000. It shows a total of 6,949 men and women engaged in this phase of bank work. The trust lustltutlons comprise 1.356 state-chartered trust companies and banks and 1,497 na tional banks with trust departments located In 1,684 cities aud town*.

Pupil of the Great Escoffier Suggests a Sweet Potato Dish By Barbara B.

Max ine, a pupil of Escoffier and chief chef of a fashionable American res taurant, reveres the traditions of the master but has found in Amer ican foods the inspiration for some of his most successful dishes. V Maxine tells of the occasion when he was called from his kitch en to receive the congratulations of a member of a European royal house who was visiting this coun try. Only a Frenchman could have conceived such a delicious dish, he was told. He smiled as he acknowledged the praise, for the secret of the dish was the use of corn flakes, than which there is .no more distinctly American food. ! Maxine has a penchant for cere als as an aid in dressing up and adding to the nutritive value of various dishes, and below is a re cipe he gives for Sweet Potato Balls.
