RAscALIrY AND nap MANAGEMENT.

The two things which are almost always
the cause OF the failure of a bank are
rascahty and bad management. The bad
management consists In the neglect of the
directors 20 attend to their duties properly
or is due TO the unhtness of the president
and cashier for their respective positions.
1t is too often the case that the president
or the cashier is a very sanguine man,
or man who courts popularity. Such
men should never be trusted to handle
other peoples money, because they can
not say no. They are continually making
bad loans. Those who are sangune take
bad risks, thinking that everything will
turn out all right. The popular man can
not make up his mind to refuse friend
or an acquaintance a loan, even though
should be.
Rascality and acknowledgement wrecked
the MiddleseN County Bank at Perth Am
boy, y. j.. the troubles of which institu-
ton were fully stated in our dispatches
recently. The rascal was the cashier. who
sambed with the banks money and who
has already been sent 10 the penitentiary,
and the acknowledgement was by the d.
rectors. who paid so little attention to
their duties that, besides taking all the
cash the cashier. at different times, took
many thousands OF dollars of the bank
securities. If the directors had been as
careful as they should have been they
would have missed the securities, and the
wrecking of the bank might have been
prevented
But the neglect of the directors promises
to cost them dearly. The depositors have
decided to sue the directors The amount
Of the shortage is S963OQ0. 1t is said that
the prospect that the directors will have
to pay this amount is very good If they
do, the verdict of the public will be that
they got just what they deserved A man
has no business TO be a director of a bank
or any other financial institution unless
he intends TO attend strictly to his duties.

AT THE CHURCHES.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Il
The sermon Sunday morning was
from Ps. As: 1914, and was consldera-
ton of some of the evidences of christi
anity. In the early centuries no man
was born a christian. If he became
one at all, it was in opposition TO the
prejudices of education, 10 the ties of
kindred, to motives of self interest and
often at the sacrifice of reputation and
life. THIS no man would do without
the strongest reasons perceived and as
sented TO by his own mind. But now
men are born nominally christians.
They take the truths of christianity for
granted, troubling themselves neither
This is unfortunate. Man should be
able to give a reason for the faith that
is in him. God asks no man to believe
without evidence, but has taken pains
to furnish him with an abundance of il.
Conscience, reason, the senses, memory,
to say nothing of the testimony of an
of the religion of Jesus. By a super
abundance of evidence of the most
trustworthy nature, it is shown that
Christ is the only perfect teacher, the
only perfect example, the only one
worthy to be loved and obeyed, the only
just judge and the only Savior of men.
"The punishment of Gehazi, Elisha's
unfaithful servant" was the subject of
the evening sermon. The points were
made that it is dangerous to fail to use
or puTposely to abuse precious spiritual
privileges, that sin is certain of detec-
ton, and that one sin invariably leads
to another.
There was an increase in the attend
snce at the Sunday-school.
The meetings of the Endeavor soci-
ties were not only exceedingly well at
tended but were very interesting and
helpful as well.
Arrangements are being perfected to
make the services next Sunday the
most delightful the church has known
in years. A Christmas sermon will be
preached at 1870 and much special ap-
propriate music will be furnished by
the choir. The Sunday school will have
special program with music, &C., and
the EndeavOr societies are preparing
something extra. The evening services
will be in charge of the Sunday school,
at which an interesting Christmas can
tata will be given.

UNITED BRETHREN.

The morning theme was based upon
Prov. 4: 90, "Keep thy heart with all
diligence" The heart of man is by
nature carnal and this carnslity is often
shown In human conduct. The heart
needs to be cleansed and when that is
done it is to be kept clean. AS help
to keeping it clean we should keep it
occupied with what is good. We should
see to it that envy, anger, malice, re-
venge and all idols are kept out and
that the word of God, the love of God,
and the spirit of God abide there.
For the evening service the sermon
was omitted and a musical program
was rendered in part by the DeMoss
family and in part by the choir and con-
gregation.
The young peoples meeting was ably
led by Miss Savage.
There is great activity in the Sunday
school in making preparations for
Christmas. The Christmas program
will be rendered next Sunday evening.

In the evening the pastor preached
a sermon to young men from Prov. 20:
%, "The glory of young men is their
strength" The lesson of the text, that
the glory of young men consists in
their ability to successfully meet the
responsibilities of life. Only those who
are physically, Intellectually and NOR
ally strong are able for these things.
The sermon was an earnest plea for an
