More Banks May Consolidate.

NEW YORK, Nov 23.-There were rumors
in the financial district to-day to the effect
that several old downtown banks intend to
follow the example of the Third National
and United States National banks by con-
solidating with stronger financial inStitu-
tions According to these rumors one of the
oldest banks in lower Broadway is contem-
plating consolidation with a newer and
was to the effect that one of the Fulton

National Bank, is negotiating to purchase
the accounts of a neighboring bank. 1t is
not unlikely that something may come out
of these rumors before the end of the

ence we see IN the American pulpit to-
day.
| have outlined the conditions now
what is the remedy? 1t is time to talk
to, individuals and not wait for the
church to move. Every man is the
church and we must realize the situa-
tion that betokens the ripeness of the
divine authority that "many false pro-
phets shall arise" We are told that
there will come a time Of false teach
ing, that there will be iniquity, that
disciples VIII wax cold that there shall
be ldolatry and that finally the gospel
will prevail and he preached FOR
witness to all nations in substance,
dead church and then q deVOut period.
The remedy Is an Identification of the
disciple with the Lord himself. What
couldn't Jesus Christ do with a church
that would not only obey but be in
sympathy with him? 1t is Gods plan
to relieve, to make each man Il
prophet and a king. If we won't do
his will then he will raise another that
will. That's Gods plan and with which
you've got to be Identified
God pledges his son to the uttermost
parts of the earth; the son pledges to
save the uttermost parts; the disciples
are directed to preached in the utter
most parts. 1t is a plan of co-workng
and co-suffering, a spiritual basis. The
plan has been neglected, however by
us, but with that hindrance 3,000,0OO
conversions have been made in pagan
and heather lands in 1900 years and
only 5O000,000 persons today have per
sonally found Christ as a Saviour. Yet
there is no cause for absolute despair
as the gospel and teaching is now a
testimony of him in all nations. Money
will advance it and SO will power, but
neither will do it if unsCriptual.
We must leave behind our sensation
countenanCe the use of money given his
church for an equivalent value. The
value is there but it is given and not
purchasable.
My last appeal to you viii be for
prayer. 1t win be my last comment to
this magnificent and attentive audi
ence. Few great and good things ever
prevailed that are not tracable to a
source of prayer; no crisis has been
too great to be turned by prayer in
His favor. We must get to our closets

AN EXTREME ARRANGEMENT.

WE CAN READILY BELIEVE THE
CHURCH rs LIKE THE WOOD
AGATE, ORNATE IN IT'S SUMPTU-
BUSINESS AND HIGH ELEGANCE,
BUT NO LONGER CAPABLE OF IN
FLAMING OR BEING BURNED"
That is an extreme aTaignment, but
they are words expressed at the recent
Carnegie hall meeting, to which | have
already referred.
Never during my siXty-fOur years
of life have ! seen such extravaganza
as exists today, and l think you will
bear me out in that statement. Some
of you will believe with me that never
in the history of mankind has there
been such extravaganza. Certain
business enterprises for instance, re-
quire in one year as much money as all
foreign missions, have cost for ten
years, yet only sixteenth of / per
cent of this country's Christian in
come is spent for missions in foreign
lands. 1t shows an Indifference to the
work of God, accommodating and in
creasing to such an alarming degree
that there is threatened the same dis
aster that OVertakes vessel whose
owner allows barnacles to accumulate
on her bottom until they eat through
and sink her
You can't grow in two directions, my
brothers and sisters; you can't indulge
in the flesh and the. spirit. There is
too liberal a spirit in admitting the ar
guments for false doctrines and prac-
tees. The tendency is to welcome ev-
erybody to fellowship, no matter what
belief may be involved in it. That sug-
gests the question, What is the use of
