FOLLOWING 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: “Under the, category of improved hank management- specific improve ments we might summarize are: “(1) Liquidation or consolidation of banks where changed local economic conditions render this desirable; “(2) Wider affiliation among state hanks with the Federal Reserve Sys tem; “(3) Development of limited branch banking w r here 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- f years of searching.' That is Phillips! able; MUk of Magnesia. | “(5) A more general application of MUk offhe ge ki U nd e th P at | the theory and practice ot 3econdary ■ • ! reserves; “(G) Avoidance by banks undue borrowing merely to increase their own profits by relfending at higher rates, or to ovor-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 and practices; “(8) The insistence upon higher educational effort and qualifications among employees, especially those to be trusted with executive duties.

The building of an advertisement is, in a manner of speaking, an architecture of ideas, us ing three basic materials; words, pic tures and space The art of compos ing an ad consists in employing all three materials in harmony, building up to a crescendo in sales. .. . You’ve got the idea to sell, we have the space and the pictures. Let’s get together as a band and compose some ads that sing! Phone 58 and we will bring proof sheets of cuts and layouts. In times past The State has sponsored several campaigns for rising funds for such purposes as building the Women’s Monument, buying the Wilson Home, National Democratic campaigns, etc. And considerable sums have been se cured in hard times. By devoting a page a day to presentation of the cause the 1 . New Y*rfe»Times secured more money last December for the city’s needest cases than in any previous year of flush times.' - If the cause is one in which it :'s ocssible to secure the attention of I the reading public, newspaper j makers know and have long known that persistent hammering, fre- auent iteration and reiteration is "he one certain means of securing that end. The experienced news paper makers must know their public and its reactions. And it is generally conceded that they Jo know their public. There wms an illustration in Co- | Tunbia this month of the response by the public to organized effort supported by ten days of intensive intelligently directed publicity. That which was believed by many to be impossible was achieved be cause the public’s interest was aroused and held. At those periods when the dol lars of the buying public crawl far back into the pocketbooks and as sume the nost retiring attitude many merchants all over the coun try regard with suspicion the ad vertising solicitors who preach, “Now Is the Time to Advertise.” They don’t believe it. “Wait,” say they, “till the dollars become less timid and ccme out in the open again to play.” Which is quite all right for those who can afford to wait for business are under no necessity to win now. Quite a number of advertisers! upon a nation-wide scale, who; A have the advice of the ablest men 1 in the business-getting business,' are not waiting for the dollars c^me out to play before inviting them to visit the cash register. These national advertisers, as can be seen from inspection of the newspapers, are, at enormous ex- i pense, making a strong bid for business—now. And we notice that some of the big retail stores of the Christianity is a life, a “way.” Be cause it is the life of God expressing itself through men, it is indestructible. Its genius is to prosper through op position. “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.” Prosperity may ruin the church, but persecution never. I. Stephen Stoned (Acts 7:54-00). In Stephen’s ministry as deacon he testified of Jesus Christ and wrought miracles in confirmation thereof. This aroused violent opposition on the part of the synagogue officials. Nor being able to meet the wisdom as Stephen spoke by the Holy Spirit, they stirred up the people against him. They ar rested him and brought him before the council. They accused him of Sabbath school every 1st, 3rd and 5th Sabbath afternoon at 3:00 o’clock. Preaching every 1st, 3rd and 5th Sabbath afternoon at 3:45 o’clock. A cordial welcome awaits you at these services. W. C. KERR, Pastor. X Pluni Branch M. E. Church Schedule Legislative Measures Proposed .“There are some external measures, along moderate legislative and super visory lines, that we also believe would help strengthen banking. Among these are: “(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 will be alloweu to operate, which should be materially higher than now prevails in most states; specifically, we believe that the minimum capital with which any new bank shall he chartered, whether state or national, should he at least 850,000; “(3) The provision of funds and regulations to keep the official staffs of all supervisory departments up to a level of ability and 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 • a greater extent than is 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 banks and use their discretionary power to refuse rediscount facilities to banks indulging Mn objectionable banking methods.” ASBURY—Sunday School every Sunday at 10:00 a. m.; Epworth League every Sunday at 7:00 p. m.; Preaching, 1st Sunday at 11:15 a. blasphemy and employed false wit- | m *» anc * 3rd Sunday at 8:00 p. m. nesses against him.

A vision of God’s glory only can be seen by those who are loyal to him even unto death. 3. He saw Jesus at the right hand of God (vv. 55, 5C). The fact that Jesus was standing showed his actual Inter est in the sufferings of his faithful witness. 4. Cashout of the-city and stoned (vv. 58. 50). 5. His prayer (v. 00).

II. Persecution cf the Church at Jerusalem (Acts 8:1-4). 1. The ringleader (vv. 1, 3). As a member of the Sanhedrin Saul had cast his vote against Stephen. He per haps was the Sanhedrin representa tive to guide and direct in the execu tion. Saul’s consenting to Stephen’s death shows that he was not taking part himself, but directing the ac tivities. 2. The disciples scattered (v. 1). The stoning of Stephen had so aroused the passions of savage men that they proceeded to wreak vengeance upon the Christians,’ who, ns a result, were scattered abroad. 3. Preaching the Word (v. 4).

C An editorial in Southern Cultivator rays: “Favorable comment is being made upon the wisdom and promised results of the farmer-banker agricultur ral program in Georgia. Industrial leaders and publicists, noting that 115 of the 1G1 counties in the state have pledged prosecution of the ‘live-at- home’ farm reform, are regarding the working out of the jfian this year as of more interest to American farmers than any developments of the Soviet five-year plan in Russia.

Preaching the Lord Jesus at Antioch (Acts 11:18-21). In the providence of God a new missionary center was now being pre pared. With the conversion of Saul and bis commission as the apostle to the Gentiles, a new center was needed. Antioch was well suited as that cen ter, for it was the natural door to the Graeco-Roman world. The persecution at Jerusalem sent the disciples as far as Antioch. 1. Preaching to Jews only (v. 10). In this they followed the exatnple of C’hrist. They had not yet ertine to realize the universality of the gospel. Even thus limited, they, were used in carrying out the divine purpose. 2. Preaching to the Grecians (v. 20). The disciples who had come from Africa and Cyprus were of broader sympathy than those of Palestine, and they courageously crossed the lino preaching the Lord Jesus to the Greeks. 3. The hand of the Lord upon them (v. 21). Perhaps the Holy Spirit was poured out anew as at. Pentecost. Their ministry was accompanied with the divine blessing. Many believed on , • the Lord through their ministry. McCormick^Sunday school every IV.
