number of trips abroad and went i
twice around the world. It was on c
his first trip abroud that he encoun- i

his favorite story. >
"Is this your first trip'" the sea
hound asked Mr. Howe on the occn
biud or meir nrst meeting. Mr. Howe >
admitted that it was. "Well," said 1
the' seu hound, "I've crossed the Atlnn- <
tl<^ 40 times." On the second day the
sea hound a Rain put the question to t
Mr. Howe and ngain vouchsafed the i
same observation. lie repeated It at
frequent intervals during the trip. t
It was on the sixth day, after the <
sea hound had again spoken of the number
of his crossings, that Mr.
Howe snid to him: "By the way, have
you ever been to Oinaha?" The sea
hound said he never had. "Well," re- ?

NATIONAL BANKS
RESOURCES GROW
CONDITION OP BANK8 IN DECEM*
BER DESCRIBED A3 "VERY
SATISFACTORY."
INCREASE OF 1406,000,000
Shows the "Most Satisfactory Turn In
Financial Affairs" of tho Country
Since 1919.
Washington.?Resources of the na
tional banks of the country, exclusive
of re-discounts amounting to $19,420,-<
000,000 at the last call on December 31,
showed an increase of $406,000,000
over the previous call in September,
according to an analysis Issued by
Comptroller of the Currency Crissinger.
The condition of the national
banks in December, he declared as
"very satisfactory" and called attention
to the fact that until September
their resources had more or less
steadily declined from their peak of
$22,711,000,000 in December, 1919.
Conditions of the national banks,
as reported by Mr. Crlssinger, were
said in a formal statement issued by
the White House to show "the most
satisfactory turn In the financial affairs
of the country that has been registered
by a bank statement since the
conclusion of 1919." V
"It demonstrates,'' the statement
continued, "that the process of liquidation
has been proceeding at Buch
an excellent rate that It may fairly
be said that we are well on the road to
getting the "frozen credits" thawed
out. In this regard. Indeed, it is by
far the most satisfactory showing
that has been made since the phrase
'frozen credits' was invented.''
"It must be borne in mind." th^
statement said, "that the national
banks represent considerable less
than half of the total banking capacity
of the nation. It i's therefore safe
to assume that the state savings and
private banks and trust companies
have experienced the same turn in
the tide that is noted in the case of
national banks.
"We may, therefore, conclude that
the figures for national banks may
safely be doubled in order to get an
approximate representation of tho situation
as to the entire banking establishment
of the nation.
"Under any analysis, the figures Indubitably
demonstrate that the peak
of liquldatton and consequent depression
was passed somewhere between
September 6, last, and December 31.
last, antf that the tendency has been
steadily toward improving business
and less reliance of business upon
the support of the banks.
"Of precisely like tenor are recent
advices from the war finance
corporation, wnicn reports a progressive
liquidation. of its loans and a
general improvement of conditions in
?he agricultural industry. Recent stabilizations
of prices for agricultural
staples have brought the farmers to
the point where they are able to
realize something at least approximating
costs of production, nnd can
look forward hopefully to still further
improvements in no very distant future."
Refuse Extradition of Bullock.
Hamilton, Ont.?Extradition of Matthew
Bullock, negro, to the United
States, to stand trial in Norlina, N. C.,
on charges of attempted murder of Rabey
Taylor during race riots there,
was refused by County Judge Snyder
on the ground of insufficient evidence.
Judge Snyder decreed that witness
ea must come here from Norllna to
testify against the negro.
Bullock recently won a fight against
deportation to North Carolina chiefly
through the intercession of the negro
population of Toronto and the commission
of immigration holding that
the negro's conduct had been good
during his stay here.
Bullock was re-arrested here on a
United States extradition warrant. He
was taken in custody as he was about
to start to work for a contractor by
whom he had been employed prior to
his first arrest.
Three Killed In Wreck.
Chapel Hill, N. C.?Three boys were
killed and three others injured when
the automobile in which they were
riding was struck by a switch engine
at a crossing in the eastern part of
this city. With the exception of the
driver of the car, who was killed, all
were students at the University of
North Carolina.
News of the fatal tragedy has
brought sorrow to the university and
the entire community. The reports
reached the village several hours after
the accident occurred.
Kidnaped Unionist* Returned Home.
Belfast.?Return to their homes of
a large number of the kidnaped Unionists
has had a stimulating effect
on public opinion in Ulster, but the
situation on the border continues to
be one of danger owing to the proximity
of rival forces at some points.
News of the arrangement for liason
commissions on each side of the frontier
also was received with satisfaction
and the hope is widely expressed
that they will become operative as
quickly as possible.
Moonshine War Now Raging.
Louisville, Ky. ? Tumbling price
moonshine whiskey has resulted in a
bitter war between big business and
the ordinary bootlegger here, according
to Edward Vols, prohibition officer.
The "business man" has entered
the field, Mr. Volz said, with quantity
production and low prices. He is being
fought by the smaller operator,
whose chief weapon is the law. and
who is seeking to maintain high prices
by furnishing "tips'' about large stills
to prohibition officers.

?What Faith In the Unseen Can Do for
Ua.
1. The Syrian King Sorely Troubled
(vv. 8-12).
1. The King's plan. (v. 8). His
method was a kind of guerrilla warfare
?armed bands made incursions Into
the enemy's territory. He determined
as to where camps should be located
so as to Intercept Israel's army. Ills
plan was clever, but his greu' mistake
was that he left God out of his
calculations. There is one' place
where all plans and movements are
known (Heb. 4:13).
2. The enemy's movements disclosed
(v. 9). The man of God, knowing
the enemy's movements, was uble
to tell the king about them. Kllsliu's
advice was more than a match for
the wily plans of the shrewd Benhadad.
Israel's safety lay more In
the man of God than In their warriors.
3. The king of Israel heeded Kllsha's
word (v. 10). This was true wisdom.
By obeying the prophet's words he
saved himself and army many times.
Those who are truly wise heed the divine
warnings. Great blessings would
come to men If thev would heed the
warnings of Scripture.
4. The Syrian king's perplexity
(vv. 11, 12). In ills perplexity he assembled
his servants and demanded
that the traitor be made known, lie
believed that some were playing Into
the hands of the enemy; therefore
he would put an end to the treachery.
This Was denied, and one of his servants
declared that the king's movements
were reported by Ellsha the
prophet, even telling to the king of
Israel what Hen-hndad spake in his
bedchamber, lten-liadad was worried
not because of his sins, but bceuuse
his plans miscarried.
II. The Syrian King Tries to Trap
Eiisha (vv. 13-18).
1. lie sent an army to capture hint
(vv. 13, 14). Upon learning that
Eiisha was making known his actions,
he determined to put an end to
the matter by trapping him and tanking
him a prisoner. How foolish to put
human cunning against divine wisdom.
llorses and chariots ure useless
when God Is ugulnst us. God's purposes
cannot be thwarted. If God be
for us, who can be against us?
2. Ellsha's servant frightened (v.
15). When he awoke one morning
he saw that an armed host was en
camping about the city. Viewed from
the human standpoint, we do not
wonder that ho was affrighted.
3. Ellsha's encouragement (v. 10).
lie .assured ids servant that,'though
tltey were surrounded by the Syrian
army, there was a mightier host
or heavenly defenders round about
them. Klisha did not sltut ills eyes
to the real danger, but looked to lite
helpers of God watching about them.
4. Klisha's prayer (v. 17). He asked
that the Lord would open the eyes of
his servant so as to see spiritual
things. When the Lord opened the
eyes of the young ptun he saw that
"the mountain was. full of horses and
chariots of tire round about Ellsha."
Round about .us all tlie while are
angels guarding us from danger. The
reason we do not see them is that we
luck spirltun! sight. Christ our Defender
Is uearer tin i hands and feet.
Let us trust Him. True religion is
a belief in the supernatural. Lord,
open our eyes! The Holy Spirit Is a
reality and is ever with us.
f>. The Syrians smitten with blind
ness (v. 18). The same God who
opened the eyes of the young man,
blinded the eyes of the Syrians. God
deals with iften nccording to their
moral attitude. When men will not
have the light, God sends darkness.
III. The Syrian Army Trapped
(vv. 10-23).
The would-be trappers are now
trapped.
1. Army led by the man soqght by
them (vv. 19, 20). Kllsha led them
to Samaria and asked the Lord to
open their eyes. When their eyes were
| open they saw the man whom they
I sought, but not ut the place where they
sought him. Instead of seeing him at
Dothnn as they expected, they saw
him In Samaria.
2. The generous treatment of the
Syrians (vv. 21-23). The king of Isrnel
wanted to smite the captives, but
Kllsha forbade him and ordered instead
that they should be fed and sent back
to their master.
3. Peace between the nations (v. 23).
The mercy shown to the Syrians had
such a profound effect upon them that
they came no more to make war .upon
Israel. Whnt n fine thing If we could
have such humanity shown today !
The Harvest of the Earth.
And I lnnkert nnil lichnlil u
cloud, and upon the cloud one eat like
unto the Son of Man, having on His
head a golden crown, and In His hand
a sharp sickle. And another angel
came out of the temple, crying with a
loud voice to him that sat on the cloud.
Thrust In thy sickle, and reap; for the
harvest of the earth is ripe.?
