DEPOSITORY FOR THE OLD WORLD _ j . f To Play Important Part in Financing Big Enterprises Washington.—The United States strengthened Its position as a world depository in 1923 as the “light to’cap ital” continued from unstable economic conditions of the old world, the De partment of Commerce said in a sum mary of internutiouul transactions, lu the future, the department .predicted, this country will take a more and more import ant part In tinancing w$rld en terprises. Once again the “invisible" trade, the transactions for which there are no government records, played an influen tial part in the balance of the books. The “invisible” Items last year were such ns to cut to $19,000,000 a balance «f $g89.000,000 In favor of the United States In the transactions passing through the custom houses. Included in the “invisible” items was nn esti mated $30,000,000 in smuggled liquors. To Finance World Enterprises. Ocean freight appeared to be the only consequential service or com modity for which the United States paid foreigners more than it received. On the other hand, foreign investments brought $394,000,000 Into the United States, a net increase of one-flfth over 1922. As compared with 1922, exports from this country were $341,000,000 greater and Imports were $706,000,000 more In 1923, showing a healthy growth In American trade. “It seems likely,” the survey said, “that the United Stites will take a more active part In financing world enterprises In the future than It has in the past. This means an increasing amount of interest and profits on for eign Investments and consequently an Increasing volume of Imports—not nec essarily from the countries In which the Investments are niade, but from the whole world. At the same time, with the growth of our country and the Increasing skill of American hank ers and exporters, It Is likely that ex ports will continue to Increase, al though not as fast as imports. New Loans Give Boost. “New loans Inevitably give a tem- ptfrary boost to exports and frequently a permanent one. On the other hand, Interest is received in the form of im ports of one sort or another. If the European governments that have not yet started to pay their debts to tho United States should do. so. there can he little donbt that Imports of mer chandise would regularly exceed ex ports. as Is usually the case with creditor countries.” Discussing the Items that went lo make up the “Invisible” transactions, the survey saMKthat American tourists had spent something like $500,000,000 In pleasure, and American citizens gave about $70,000,000 for foreign and philanthropic purposes. ' Tracing out the “Invisible” trading, the survey mentions Interest and dlvl- dends ocean freights, governmental re payments, services to tourists, chari table and missionary expenditures and remittances of Immigrants, all of which showed a balance of $370,000,000 that went out over what came in.

PRIMARY TOPIC—A Kind Woman Saves a Baby Kinj^. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Story of a Boy King. INTERMEDIATE SENIOR TOP IC—God s Hand in lltmian Affairs. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—What Jeholada Meant to Judah. Joash, viewed in the light of his an cestors. was a poor prospect for a king. His grandmother was the wicked Athaliah and his great-grand parents were Ahab and Jezebel. There was enough bad blood in his veins to assure his doom. Despite this fact, he brought about some noble reforms and turned the people back to God. I. Athaliah Usurps the Throne, (yv. 1-3). 1. Her Attempt to Destroy the Seed Royal (v. 1). Ij order to remove any rightful claimant to the throne she tried to kill all the royal male chil dren. The act was not of sudden Im pulse, hut of deliberate purpose. 2. Joash Preserved by Jehosheba (vv. 2, 3). Though Athaliah was keen eyed, she was checkmated by another woman. This woman, the wife of the priest, stole away this child and hid him away In a bedchamber for six years. God had promised that through the Dayldl.* line the Messiah should come. In order that this line be un- j^oken Joash must be preserved. No purpose of God can fall. II. Joash Crowned King (vv. 4-12). 1. Jeholada’s Preparations (vv. 4- 11). The high priest and his wife were strong characters. As the high priest, Jehoiuda felt that it was his duty to thwart the heathen project of Athaliah. His wife’s co-operation made possible the saving of Joash. (1) Seeks the aid of the military lead ers (v. 4). He knew somehow that these men were not loyal to Ath aliah. (2) He took an oath of them In th# house of the Lord (v/ 4). He bound them to their agreement by every avail able means. (3) He incited their spirit of pa triotism (v. 4). He gave them a sight of the king’s son. This, no doubt, was a great surprise. Now, having seen the heir to the throne, they would risk everything, even their lives, in order to set him on the throne. (4) He co-ordinates all matters (vv. 5-11). The soldiers were divided Into companies and arms were dis tributed to them. Each group w as as signed to specific duties. 2. ,Tbe Coronation (v. 12).

The Noise of the Coronation of Joash Brought Athaliah to the Temple (v. 15). Up to this time she thought her place on the throne was secure and that her heathen religion had free course. 2. Her Doom (v. 14). Upon her ar rival at the temple she saw the king wearing the crown and surrounded by guards so that she could do nothing. In her despair she exclaimed “T*a- son, treason.” This was not treason, but the triumph of right over wrong— the defeat of conspiracy and plot ting. 3. Athaliah Executed (vv. 15, 16). The orders were that she should not be killed In the temple. They led her out by the way of the horses’ entrance to the king’s palace and slew her. What a tragic,end for the sinner.
