The literary and intelligent Fannie Hurst returns from Europe with a pet marmoset, so small it sits in a large pocketbook. She should write about husbands of the future, who wilt probably dwindle to about that size, in the course of evolution. The giant sea crab, when you catch one, is always a female, of great size. She carries the male crab, about as big as a ten-cent piece, under one. of her flippers, except on rare occasions. Human Jiusbands may dwindle down to that, when men have no harder wmrk to do than pushing a button. Size and" muscle will no longer count. £y JOHN G. LONSDALE President American Bankers Association JYANKERS 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. ; 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 tvar. In the business and banking world, economic research and analysis serve as the microscope through which we are enabled to see basic factors mere 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.

Wallace, head of the National Association of Savings Banks, sees the end of the slump, because savings deposits Increased $225,000,000. Sav ing shows strength of mind, hut the er.d of the slump might he still near er if those that put the $225,000,000 extra into savings banks had put it into circulation, buying merchandise. What people spend makes prosper ity. What they save makes them'safe. One thousand are dead in Santo Domingo. 5,000 hurt, 30,000 homeless, in latest reports. Of 10,000 buildings, only 400 are left standing. It will take a great deal more than the $20,000 sent by the American Bed Cross to provide for that situation. After a great war Important changes occur in government and “social sys tems.” One hundred and sixteen British bankers and manufacturers Implore Great Britain to stick to and maintain trade and not be stampeded into pro tection and retaliation. Another group of bankers h^d urged “free trade within the emipre, protec tion against outside competition.” German statisticians apply grim and correct flgures about the great war. It has taken years to prepare them. Ten million •soldiers were killed, 30,- 000 unknown French soldiers lie in one grave. ... The horses killed numbered ^.586,- 000—they didn’t start the war. Eighteen miliion human beings were wounded, and $247,000,000,000 were spent, wasted. And that is what the world is pay ing for now in its slump, undoubtedly. The American Bankers Association is daily submitting every phase and every department of banking to search ing scrutiny and study, says John G. Lonsdale, president 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 their guidance. “It is a fine tribute to the spirit of cooperation among bankers that 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 association 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 1 banking practices and innumerable changes for a stronger and more ef ficient banking structure. It has set up an educational system through its affiliated American Institute of Bank ing, where 45,000 ambitious young bank men and women are now availing them selves of the opportunity to advance in the hanking field. • “It has been well said that the American Bankers Association, exclu sive of the Federal Reserve System, has been the greatest single nation wide source of stability and improved conditions for banking in the United States," Mr. Lonsdale says. Australians and others are im pressed by old Solomoni, an old ab original Australian witch doctor, who predicted “Drenching rains to end the drought in the first quarter of the moon.” The drenching rains came, crops were saved, Solomoni is a hero, and the weather bureau which saw no rain coming is made ridiculous.’ The public, eager to be deceived, hears and cares nothing about the 10,- 000 witch doctors and other prophets that in the same w ?ek predicted things that did not and will not happen. - Gold and treasure, the words that excite nearly all men.

Banking Grows More Complicated DENVER, Colo.—The increase in the technicalities of the banking business in the past dozen years was shown by a speaker before the American In stitute of Banking which held its an nual convention here recently when he pointed out that in 1918, when the institute last met in this city, it gave only three courses, while today it gives 10, Vfith more subjects in preparation. At the earlier date, he said, the cur riculum of the institute consisted of elementary banking, commercial and banking law, and money and banking, whefeas today it consists of banking fundamentals, commercial law, nego tiable instruments, standard econom ics, standard banking, credits, invest ments, trust functions, analyzing finan cial statements, and public spoaking, while the two new subjects of bank operation and organization, and hank management are to be added.

You can get Herbine at STROMS’ DRUG STORE CHURCHCARDS McCormick Holiness \ Church Schedule In teaching this lesson it will he necessary to sweep Into view the en tire Book of Jonah. I. Jonah’s Call and Commission (Ch. 1:1. 2). Jonah, a Jew, was called to go and preach repentance to a Gentile city. (Gen. 12:1, 2). The story of Jonah ^graphically portrays the history of Israel as a nation. God separated Is rael to be the channel through which his mercy and salvation are to be car ried to all nations. They, like Jonah, have been recreant to duty. Because of this, God has caused them to be swallowed up by the nations which will one day spew them out upon dry ground—Palestine. After severe chas tisement, they will discharge their oh ligation, and the nations through their ministry will repent and turn to God. C|. Jonah’s Flight From Duty (1:3). He turned his back upoi} God and attempted to flee from his presence. In the same way Israel has become an apostate people. III. Jonah’s Corrsction (1:4-2:10). 1. Overtaken by a storm (v. 4). Trouble soon came upon the disobe dient servapt of God. So with the Jews, misfortune after misfortune have overtaken them because they turned from God. They are now tossed about J>y the purging of the nations. 2. Cast overboard (v. 15). In their perplexity the sailors cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. Ac cording to his own direction they cast him overboard. God had prepared a great fish which swallowed him. 3. Jonah’s deliverance (Ch. 2). Jonah in his affliction turned to God and prayed (James 5:13). God mirac ulously preserved him while in the belly of the fish, and lie has miracu lously preserved Israel in the heart of the nations. The fish could not digest Jonah, neither can the nations digest Israel. Jonah repented while in the fish. So Israel will repent as they go into the great tribulation, God made the fish to vomit, out Jonab. So lie will at the proper time cause the nations to cast out Israel. IV. Jonah’s Commission Renewed (Ch. 3).- His experience made him willing to do God’s bidding. 1. His field (v. 3). He was to go to Nineveh, a large city, the people of which wen* cruel. Israel’s field is the Gentile nations. 2. His message (v. 4). He was instructed to “preach the preaching*’ commanded by God. Forty days were given to the people in which to repent. God’s Supreme desire is that all should repent (II i’eter 3:9). This message represents the heart of God in his dealing with sin nors. 3. Repentance of the Ninevites (vv 5-8). (1) They believed God (v. 5). They believed that God was speak ing to them through Jonah about their sins, and was announcing impending judgment. (2) They proclaimed a*fast (vv. 5-8) The king and people Joined sincere iy in this movement. They put oi» sackcloth, the sign of penitence. (3) They reasoned that God would repent (v. D). The sending to them of a prophet encouraged them to believe that God would show mercy if they repented. V. Jonah’s Behavior (Jonah 4:l-H) 1. He repines at God’s action (vv 1-3). •Me now makes known tire real rea son for Ills flight from duty. He knew that the gracious God would spare the people who repented. The treatment of the Israelites at the hand of .the Ninevites was such that Jonah did not w ? ant God to forgive them. ^We have here a case of a preacher of re pentanee mortified when the people repent and are pardoned. 2. God reproves Jonah (vv. 4-11). By means of the gourd God showed him his error. This closing scene af fords a striking example of the pa tience and pity of God in contrast with the hard-heartedness of man.
