Even the big boys can’t over come panicky conditions, and none cf them are worth much except when time* ar 0 good. VJOLLOW1NG a nation-wide survey * of banking conditions and opinion among bankers, the Economic Policy Commission of the American Bankers Association has made the following recommendations for banking better ment: , . V “Under the category of improved bank management specific improve ments we might summarise are: “(1) Liquidation or consolidation of banks where changed local economic conditions render this desirable; ■ . “(2) Wider affiliation among state banks with the Federal Reserve Sys tem; “(3) Development of limited branch banking where economic conditions and legal authority make this expedi ent; “(4) A more general practice, espe cially lacking among country banks, to analyze the cost of carrying accounts and other operating details and the establishment of proper service charges to make all classes of function profit able; “(5) A more general application of the theory and practice of secondary reserves; “(6) Avoidance by banks of undue borrowing merely to increase their own profits by releuding at higher rates, or to over-expand credit to local business In order to increase their own busi ness; “(7) Cooperation among bankers in local communities through city, county or regional clearinghouses so as to promote mutually beneficial conditions aud practices; - . . . “(8) TheinsistenS^'^pBr.

Its j policy and practice busted us in 19 and 20, and it has continued to hurt us at eVery turn. That kind of bank- legislature in September appropriat ed $10,000 fo r an investigation of#the industry.

Among these arc: “(1) The broadening in the states of branch banking laws where condi tions warrant an extension of this type of banking service to the public; —“(2) The establishment of sound minimum capital funds under which banks w ill be allowed to operate, which should be materially higher than now prevails In most' sUlei; ipeclflcmlly, we believe that the minimum j capital with which any now bank whall be chartered, whether state or natfonal, should be at least $50,000; “(3) The provision of funds and regulations to keep the official staffs of all supervisory departments up to a level of ability nnd integrity that will universally inspire confidence among bankers whose activities they are empowered to review, and will sup ply real added defenses to the public interests they are appointed to protect. “(4) In connection with the policies of bank chartering departments, we would recommend that, even to n greater extent than la, now the prac tice, the greatest care and moderation should be exercised in granting new charters, so as to guard against over- banking or the launching of new banks by. unqualified persons, - which have doubtless been serious factors in the bank failure situation in the past. “(5) Also, referring to Federal Re serve practice not requiring legisla tion''we believe that the Federal Re serve Banks should exercise more free ly their rights to examine hanks and use their discretionary power to refuse rediscount facilities to banks indulging in objectionable banking methods.” ■9SSSSSSS IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I _ chool Lesson (Uy REV.

Become Chrin I. John’s Disciples tians (vv. 1-7). These twelve disciples had only been taught the baptism of repentance as preparation for the Kingdom. Paul taught them to believe on Christ f tha: is, to receive Christ as the one who on the cross provided redemption for them through the shedding of his blood. When they believed and re celved Christ as their Savior, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, and Paul laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. II. Paul Preaching in Ephesus (vv. 9-10), 1. In the Jewish synagogue (v. 8) Though the Jews were Paul’s ene mies, he inflexibly followed his rule to go first to them with the gospel His preaching was characterized a. By boldness (v. 8). b. By reason (v. 8). c. By persuasion (v. 8). d. By speaking concerning the King dom of God (v. 8). He did not dis course ou philosophy, or the latest in Ifttntufjfc but upon the message of Banker-Farmer Plan .An editorial in Southern Cultivator says: “Favorable comment is being made upon the wisdom and promised results of the farmqr-banker agricultu ral program in Georgia. Industrial leaders and publicists, noting that 115 of the 161 counties in the state have pledged prosecution of the ’ ‘live-at- home’ farm refofm, are regarding the working out of the p’an this year as of more interest -to American f rmera than any developments of the Soviet five-year plan in Russia. Agricultural actuaries are of the opinion that if Georgia farmers, hacked by our coop- country.” “Why, sure, automobiles and on the prices.

The man of the soil who lives year in and year out ‘on his own’ will stand up in his community as an economic freeman, making his own terms with the world of finance and trade.” A meeting of farmers, bankers, and newspaper men of St. Croix County, Wisconsin, recently organized a drive to promote the growing of alfalfa in as to save the the dairr- rmrmr mAh (ftS“expense orammer and Insure greater dairy profits.

In the schoolhouse of Tyrannu* (vv. 0, 10). The Jews, being, enemies of the gospel, were only hardened by Taul’s preaching, and spake openly against this way of salvation in Christ. 1’aul separated the disciples from them and resorted to the school house of Tyrannus. III. God Working Miracles by Paul (vv. 11-10). Ephesus was noted for its wonder workers. That I’uul's ministry might be successful here. God In an extraor dinary way put his seal upon the work. Handkerchiefs and aprons that hud touched Paul's body healed the sick and cast out evil spirits. # Seeing tha marvelous power operating through Paul, certain Jews who went about the country practicing magical arts under took to use the name of Jesus in their incantations. Knowing that their conneciion with Christ was not real, the use of his name by them only en raged the evil spirits who sprang upon nnd overcame them. IV. -A Glorious Awakening (vv. 17-41). 1. Fear fell upon all (v. 17). News of the casting out of these evil spirits created impressions favorable to Chris tianity. 2. It brought to the front those who professed faith in Christ while not liv ing right lives (v. 18). 3. Many gave up the practice of the black arts (v. 10). Black afts are forms of jugglery by the use o^charnis and magical words. 'No one can have fellowship with God and practice such arts. They proved the genuineness of their Christian profession by publicly burning their hooks, valued at $12,500. 4. Uproar of tlie silversmith a: Kphesus (vv. 23-41). a. The occasion (vv. 23. 24). The power.of the gospel was destroying the Infamous business of*.Demetrius and his fellows. Their primary inter et-t was its financial effect upon the principal business of the city. % h The method (vv. 25-29). Deme trius, a leading business man. called a meeting and stated that much peo-' pie had been turned from idolatry and that the market for their wares was materially weakened. He appealed to his fellows (1) On the ground of business (v. 27). The world is willing to tol erate any kind of religion or moral awakening so long as It does not in terfere wijh its business or way of ilvlng.' \ . * (2) On the ground of religious prej □dice. He said that the temple of the great Goddess Diana would be de spised (v. 27). He became religious when he saw that his business was being damaged. His speech gained his end The crowd In a rage cried. “Great Is Diana of the Ephesians.” The mob was quieted by the tact, good judgment, and counsel of the town clerk (vv. 37-41).
