BANK OF WESTERN CAROLINA Works on reorganization (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) of a substantial cash dividend to de positors. “We have, therefore, decided to *' V p tcommend as a plan for the liquida tion of said bank and its branches a plan of liquidation which has been successfully used by many banks throughout the country, and in South Carolina, known as the exchange of deposit vouchers fer securities of the bank, whereby and whereunder the secuiities of a defunct banking in stitution are ratably and equitably distributed to the depositors. “The details of said plan are! sub stantially as follows: 1. A Receiver i s duly nominated, and communities where said has branches.'*’ An order U being taken extending the time of the Bank Ex^minec!s con trol of the bank fpr a period cf 30 days during which time the proposed plan of re-organization, it it hoped, will be perfected by the calling of meetings of depositors and stockhol ders at various branches and then a general meeting of depositors and. stockholders within thirty days to either put into effect the re-oiganiza- ticn plan or liquidate the bank under the plan recommended. The, meeting of stockholders and the depositors and re-organization committee was an enthusiastic one, and it was felt on every hand that the re-organization plan i s not only practicable but entirely feasible and if put through will not only mean the appointed and qualified in the manner saving of the business interests of 1. Jesus at Jacob’s Well (vv. 1-0). _JThe growing popularity of Jesus aroused the envious opposition of the Pharisees which obliged him to leave Judea and go Into Samaria. There ■was another way to reach Galilee, on tCbe eastern side of the Jordan, the one aued by many Jews to avoid contact with the despised Samaritans. lie ■“must needs go through Samaria" In order to find this poor sinful woman and the needy citizens of Sychar. The great necessity which was upon him was to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). II. Jesus' Testimony to the Samari tan Woman (vv. 7-2G). 't- A favor asked (vv. 7-9). Jesus 'tactfully made a request which ap pealed to the woman’a sympathy. Not only did the thirst of the weary truv- oter appeal to her, hut the fact that lie, being a Jew, asked a favor of her, ahowed his sympathy for her. In In troducing the conversation, he re ferred to that which was uppermost In 4>er mind; namely, water. Thla was ■She divine Teacher’s point of contact. He soon passed from earthly water to the water of everlasting life which was in himself. 2. Jesus’ tender dca(ing with this woman (vv. 10-l. r »). He first appealed to her curiosity by declaring, “If thou knewest the gift of God'’ (v. 10). He knew the deep unrest of the soul of thla sinful woman as she went on her way. He knew that If she really knew him, she would believe In him and he aaved from her sins. Therefore, he first sought to get her attention. This appeal to her curiosity was followed i»y a promise which directed her at- | Court, lention to her deepest needs. There 3s a consciousness of deep need in ev- ■ery soul. In her efforts to satisfy her nature, this poor woman respected neither the law of God nor the rights <rf men. The deepest need of the soul can only he satisfied by Jesus Christ. The woman’s reply, "Sir, give me this ■water that I thirst not." is the Inar ticulate cry of every human heart. 3. The woman convicted of her sins <w. 15-yJ). Jesus succeeded in arous ing her interest, but she did not really understand him. Before she Could un derstand what the water of'llfe is, she ignst be convicted of her sins. He stftlllfully gave the command which brought her face to face with the facts of her life that she was unwilling to confess. She did not argue with him, 'but became a humble inquirer. The soul must be convicted of its sin be- *.fore there can be conversion. 4. The problem of worship submit ted to Christ (vv. 20-24). This she did as soon as she perceived him to he a prophet. This Indicates that, he was succeeding in bringing her mind to spiritual things. Jesus, knowing the ’inner life of this woman, told her of the glad time, even then present, when ’tme worshipers could hold Intercourse ■with God anywhere. He showed her that the place of worship is unimpor tant that the all-important thing is to thave the true conception of God a?

When the dis- -ripVes perceived that Jesus talked with the woman, they marveled, yet they hesitated to ask him for an explana tion. The woman left her water pot and went Into the city and said. “Come, seto a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" Aa soon as she was converted she be came an enthusiastic missionary. III. Jesus Testifying to the Citizen! of Sychar (vv. 40, 41).
