I. Jeremiah’s Call (Jer. 1
1. It was prenatal (vv. 4, 5).
Hefore Jeremiah was born God or
dained him a prophet unto the nation.
2. His diffidence (v. 0).
4 Thi» seems to have grown out of his
jouth and inexperience.
3. Hit hesitancy overcome (vv. 7, 8).
God graciously appeared to him and
made clear that lie should:
a. Go where sent.
b. Speak as commanded.
c. Be not afraid of their faces.
The servant of God is called upon
to face strong enemies. Only the con
viction of^hls divine commission will
enable him to face the foe.
d. The divine presence assured.
It matters little as to the strength
of the foe if the messenger Is blest
with the presence of God.
4. The divine message given (v. 9).
Not merely the thoughts, but the
proper words to express tiie thoughts
are put into the prophet’s mouth.
5. The nature of his ministry (v. 10).
It was to be wider than that of
prophesying. Six words are given as
descriptive thereof. The fln«t four are
destructive In their Implication—“root
out,” “pull down,” “destroy,” and
’Throw down”; two constructive—
*T>ulld M and “plant.”
II. Dialogue Between Jeremiah and
God (Jer. 14:7-22).
The occaaion was a most severe fam
Ine which had come upon the land,
(vv. 1-0) as a result of which many
were dying. v
1. The prophet confesses the people’s
sins (vv 7-9).
He made no evasion of sin, but plead
wit!) God not to abandon his people.
Abandonment would be interpreted by
the heathen enemies as God’s Inability
to help them. No merit could be plead
ed for the people, so he plead for the
sake of God’s name that God would not
leave them.
2. Too late for mercy (vv. 10-12).
(1) Jeremiah’s prayer declared use
less (vv. 10, 11).
Because of the gross wickedness of
the people, God informs Jeremiah that
punishment is inevitable.
(2) Religious services of no avail
(v. 12).
The disloyal people of Israel hoped
to turn aside God’s wrath by engaging
In the services of Jehovah. Such serv
ices are an abomination.
3. The doom of false prophets
(vv 13-10).
Kven though false prophets lulled
the people to sleep, God held them re
sponsible. God gives sufficient dis-
i cemment to enable people to know
their leaders. No one can plead ignor
ance in such coses.
4. Waiting upon God (vv. 17-22).
<1) Jeremiah walling the sufferings
•f his people (vv. 17, 18).
(2) Jeremiah pleading for his people
(vv. 19, 20).
(3) Heading for forgiveness (v. 21).
He based his plea on covenant rela
tion, not upon personal merit.
(4) Hope only in God (v. 22).
He acknowledges that the nation’s
only hope was in the living God.
III. The New Covenant (Jer. 31:
27-34).
1. Promise to build and to plant In
stead of to break doum and pluck up
(vv. 27, 28).
2. Freedom from the power of he
redity (vv. 29. 30).
No longer shall the children suffer
for the sins of their parents. Those
who are Joined to Jesus Christ are un
der a new law of life superior to the
tew heredity.
, 3. The iaw written within (vv. 31-33).
Through regeneration the heart has
not only the desire but the power in
the Holj Spirit to rtee above and to
be free from carnal fmpulses.
4. Teachers no longer needed (v. 34)
God iliali speak directly to all from
the least unto the greatest so that no
longer shall the knowledge of God be
dependent upon the human teacher.
5. Sins no more remembered (v. 34).
When God forgives, offenses are re
mem be red no more.
CAPITALS
Galleries and Gardens
(Prepared by th* National Qaoitraphlc
Society. Waahlnyton. D. C.)
T WO capitals of German states.
Dresden in Saxony and Munich
in Bavaria, are capitals, as well,
of art, and annually draw their
thousands of art-loving tourists.
Dresden is filled with artistic won
ders. Its picturesque setting, astride
a beautiful bend in the Elbe river,
about 110 miles south of Berlin,
caused Herder, the poet, to call it the
Florence of the E^be.
From an approaching river steamer,
the Saxon capital is a city of graceful
spires and huge domes and cupolas,
but Inside the Altstadt (old city) on
the left bank of the Elbe, the picture
changes to one of artistically embel
lished buildings, handsomely sculp
tured monuments, galleries of famous
paintings, numerous museums with
choice collections of all sorts, spa
cious squares and parkways, and can
yonlike streets where Kunst (German
for “art”) is heard among the throngs
nearly as often as some of the com
mon verbs.
A large portion of the Altstadt Ilea
near the Augustus bridge, one of the
five spans that connect the old town
with Neustadt, on the other hank of
the river. The Hof-Kirche, facing the
bridge with its 272-foot tow’er, is a
huge structure, whose parapets are
topped with f>9 statues of saints and.
inside. Raphael Mengs’ “Ascension’’
looks down upon the high altar. A
covered passage connects the church
with the old Saxon palace, whose
walls are decorated with fine mural
paintings; and in the various rooms,
large collections of Chinese vases and
Dresden china ace on display. Even
the stable adjoining the palace Is em
bellished with a cavalcade of Saxon
princes, in porcelain tiles.
Treasures in Many Buildings.
Within a few blocks of the palace
numerous buildings contain the col
lections that have made Dresden fa
mous as the German art center. Be
tween the church and the palace the
Grimes Gewolbe (Green Vault) con
tains a dazzling array of Jewels—dia
monds, rubies and sapphires—and
works of art in gold, ivory, bronze
and Limoges enamels. On a single
ivory tusk one artist has carved 142
angels and anotlier ivory piece de
picts an organ grinder fighting a rob
ber. The Saxon crown jewels, a 40-
carat green diamond. Jeweled trinkets
of all kinds, a golden tea service and
tiie largest known onyx are displayed.
Bronze work includes statues, pedes
tals and vases. A striking bronze
piece depicts Charles II of England
fighting off a dragon.
Across the street, surrounded by
gardens, the Zwinger, built by Au
gustus tiie Strong and intended to
house banquet and dance halls, prom
enades and gardens befitting royal life
of the Eighteenth century, is a treas
ury of art. The building is a fine ex
ample of Italian Renaissance, adorned
with figures of Greek deities, vases
and flowers. Once in the court which
tiie Zwinger incloses, the traveler
feels that tiie rose gardens and prom
enades should fulfill the most regal
whim.
The Zwinger museum contains a
half million engravings, many draw
ings. mathematical instruments, and
a picture gallery where some of the
finest works of the most eminent
Italian, Spanish, Dutch and German
artists are on exhibition. Raphael's
“Slstine Madonna” occupies a promi
nent place In the collection. It wat
purchased in 1754 from Italian monks
find smlggWd out of Italy by painting
a landscape over tiie canvaa. There
are also works of Rubena, Van Dyck,
Rembrandt ami others.

containing a large collection of stuffed
birds and ethnological specimens; the.
Mineralogies! and Prehistoric museum
with interesting fossils; draw’ art lov
ers from all parts of the world and
earn for Dresden tiie right to be
called one of the world’s important
art centers.
Among the churches the Frauen-
Kirche, a Protestant edifice, is the
largest. It can accommodate 5,000
worshipers. The church occupies a
whole city block. The lantern above
its huge dome Is 312 feet from tiie
pavement. A magnificent organ and
numerous statues are interesting fea
tures of its interior.
Between trips to this almost end
less array of exhibits, travelers enjoy
the Dresden parks and drives. Grosser
Garten is nearly half as large as Cen
tral Park in New York City. Within
Its confines are zoological and botani
cal gardens and the Museum of the
Saxon Antiquarian Society, where
there are 3,000 objects in porcelain,
pewter and carved wood.
In Neustadt, across tiie river, the
Japanese palace, so called from the
Japanese porcelain collection it once
contained, now houses the Saxon
State Library with more than u half
million voluir.es and thousands of
manuscripts and maps. Dresden's
market place is also in Neustadt, and
houses to accommodate many of tiie
city’s 620.000 inhabitant^
In point of population Munich
(Munchen) is exceeded only by Berlin
and Hamburg among German cities.
With 680,000 inhabitants it is some
what larger than San Francisco and
smaller than Boston.
Monich Is Magnificent.
In physical aspects Munich is one
of the most impressive of modern
cities. Its royal palaces, its juagnifl-
cent national theater, its great royal
library containing 1,100,000 volumes
and 50.000 rare manuscripts; its broad
thoroughfares, particularly tiie Lud-
wigstrasse and MaxinMlianstras.se,
bordered by tiie great office buildings
of tiie Bavarian government, and Its
famous university which ranks first
among the German institutions of
learning in the number of its medical
students and second only to Berlin in
the number of students of all classes
—all these and many other buildings
and institutions make the municipal
ity one of the chief prides of the Teu
tonic people.
Most of the modern improvements
and practically all of its architectural
splendor Munich owes to Louis (or
Ludwig) I and Ins art-loving succes
sors. Louis came to the throne in
1825 and ruled for more than 20 years.
One of the impressive monuments of
ids reign is tiie beautiful Propylaea,
modeled after the gate to tiie Athen
ian Acropolis, and tiie reliefs which
decorate this structure quite fittingly
tell tiie story of Greece’s war of hide
pendence and the events transpiring
in that kingdom during the eventful
reign of King Otho L Louis’ son who
was elected to the throne of Greece
in 1832 but was finally expelled after
30 years. Another beautiful Munich
gateway is the Slegestor (Gate of Vic
tory), modeled after tiie Arch of Con
stantine in Rome.
One Municli gallery exhibits such
works as Titian’s “Christ Crowned
with Thorns,” Rembrandt’s “The Des
cent from tiie Cross” and a Raphael
“Madonna,” and contains works of
Rubens, Van Dyck, Holbein the Elder,
Berugino, Botticelli and Fra Filippo
Lippi, from which It will be seen that
Louis djd not hesitate to acquire the
masterpiece of other nations.

TAKING THE GUESS
OUT UF UUSINESS
John G. Lonsdale

President American Bankera v
Association'-
nANKERS and business men err In
^ not adopting more universally the
tactics of the scientist. When the
scientist wishes
to fathom the
mysteries of the
universe or re
solve things into
their component
parts he calls to
his assistance the
magnifying power
of the microscope.
There before him,
like an open book,
lie the secrets of
nature which un
aided eyes cannot
observe.
The uncanny power of the micro
scope's all-seeing eye has revealed
countless secrets for the material and
intellectual progress of humanity. It
h, i enabled us to study the processes
of growing cells in plant and animal
life, trace the causes of disease and
successfully combat the ills of man
kind; it has aided the engineer in his
search for stronger and more service
able materials, giving us taller, lighter
and more sanitary structures, and bet
ter highways: it has disclosed the de
fects in steel rails and brought us an
era of safer railway travel; it has
added to the food supply of the nation;
in fact, it has affected favorably nearly
every activity of the human race,
whether it apply to production, dis
tribution or consumption, in time of
p ace or in time of war.
In the business and banking world,
economic research and analysis serve
as the microscope through which we
are enabled to see basic factors more
clearly and thus determine the causes
of success and failure. Only recently
have we begun to realize the full value
of research and analysis and apply
them in such a way as to eliminate
the guesswork that was characteristic
of industry a few years ago. “Eliminate
the guess and reach success,” might
well be a motto for all of us.

Banking Conducting
Continual Research
The American Bankers Association
is daily submitting every phase and
every department of banking to search
ing scrutiny and study, says John G.
Lonsdale, predident of this the world’s
greatest financial association. The
findings of these investigations are
made available to the 20,000 members
of the organization for th,eir guidance.
“It is a fine tribute to the spirit of
cooperation among bankers thaf it is
able to carry on this work,” he says.
“Bankers from one end of the country
to the other are constantly giving free
ly and unselfishly of their skill and
experience so that the atsociation may
produce the truly great results that
are being accomplished.”
Statistical information on national
and state banks, savings institutions,
trust companies and trust departments,
clearing house groups and general
banking is prepared after exhaustive
inquiry and distributed for the use of
all bankers. The organization’s in
vestigations have resulted in the pas
sage of beneficial legislation, revision
of banking practices and innumerable
changes for a stronger and more ef-
ficieit banking structure. It has set
up an educational system through Its
affiliated American Institute of Bank
ing, wh^re 45,000 ambitious young bank
men and women are now availing them
selves of the opportunity to advance in'
the banking field.
“It has been well said that the
American Bankera Association, exclu
sive of the Federal Reserve System,
haa been the greatest single nation
wide source of stability and improved
conditions for banking In the United
States,” Mr. Lonsdale saya.
