Government repositories, and what
amount and kind Of securities shall be
required of the banks for the safekeep-
ing and prompt payment Of Govern
ment deposits. AS far as repositories
are designated for the new loan, the
Secretary of the Treasury makes a
special arrangement with the banks,
which is satisfactory to the Govern
ment, and hence there is no necessity
for the banks to hold a reserve in ad-
dition to the other securities required.
This ruling is approved by Score
tary Boutwell,, but does not apply to
any other Government deposits than
those herein specified. Government
funds deposited under general regula-
tons are still to be protected by the
proper reserve Of lawful money.

THEME Man is morally bound to dc
all he can to promote christianity.
This was argued as follows:
|. Man is bound to do all he can to
promote the welfare of the human race
! 2. Christianity of all systems is most
productive of the welfare Of mankind
That christianity is most productive
of the good Of mankind was shown by
what it is doing wherever it goes. 1t
thernfora follows
3. That man is morally bound to dc
all he can to promote christianity.
From the above points, as laid down
the distinguished speaker elaborated
one of the most powerful sermons even
delivered in this section of country
He had an immense audience Of citi-
2ens Of Carroll and Frederick counties
ana a eoodly number from Baltimore
and Pennsylvania to hear him elnci-
date the christian doctrine from the
words Of the Gospel; and his auditors
were highly pleased and delighted at
the manner in which he handled the

He would do away with the Ku-klux

the country a sound and expanded

Grant is soldier OF fortune, a success
