The s.-oC IF a southern church has
recently asserted its opposition to pub
lie prayer, preaching or church office
holding by women. 1t did not pro-
nounce against their singing in Sun
day school! Probably it had never
heard of a brave little woman in an
adjoining state who, in a rapidly set
tied oil town, gathers. each Sunday,
representatives of ten sects, builds the
fire in the schoolhouse. rings the bell,
and prays and talks with the miners
and their families. One idiot boy
walked ten miles to get her to give
Christian burial to baby he was fond
of, and while he led the procession,
carrying sheaf of wild flowers over
his shoulder, she walked up and down
the steep hills. behind the rude cart
the mother drove, steadying the rough
little coffin. Truly Of sueh-in public
or private-is the kingdom of heaven.

]. r. Rockhill. of Chicago, at the Fifth
Avenue hotel. In the southern Illi-
nois town where my father lives there
used to be a selectman named Wat
kins, who had held Office so long and
reached so advanced an age that jokes
about few die and none resign he
had solved the question of living for
ever etc. were constantly applied to
him. Another seleetman by the name
of Lindsey, who was something OF a
Wit, was very sick and not expected
to live, and while he was in this state
Watkins fell i'll of pneumonia. from
which disease he subsequently died. A
friend calling on Lindsey told him of
Watkins sickness and that his death
was momentarily expected. A twinkle
erept into Lindsey's eye as he whis-
pered to his friend: No; Watkins
won't die this time. He'll never die.

The state superintendent of public
schools in Nebraska has decided that
the Bible may be read in the public
schools. The matter was laid before
him in a case from Gage county,
where one family wanted the teacher
enioined from using the book, al
though all others favored it. In his de-
eision Mr.. Jackson said: There
seems to be nothing in the laws of Ne
braska that would prevent the simple
reading of the Bible in our public
schools. I am OF the opinion that in
this enlightened age and Christian
land the public school teacher ought
not to be deprived of reading the Bible
or Of repeating the Lords prayer"

A Big INCREASE In Loans
The Upward Movement in Stocks
Stimulates the Money Market.


MEM YORK. Feb. 3.--The weekly state
neni OF averages Of The associated banks
made a much better showing than had been
expected The increase in lawful money
was nearly 1--WE and one-half millions. The
speculative community. however, was in
clined to belittle this change and was dis
posed to attach Importance 10 the increase
of nearly eleven and ore-quarter millions
in loans That increase is easily explained
The banks have been fairly large buyers OF
commercial paper this week and. at the
same time. stock exchange requirements
have been greater than for some time past
owing TO the moderate revival OF specula-
ton in securities Moreover. local bankers
bought 81. 0O0. ocO of city bonds last week
and 81 600 900 city of Pittsburg bonds this
week. making a total of sl2.e0O.000 TO be
financed until the obligations mentioned
are placed with investors. The expansion
in the loans may. therefore. be attributed
chiefly 10 the transaction of actual bust
ness rather than 20 speculation.
The average increase in deposits is not
as large as it should be by about 81, 300. 600.
The net result, an increase of nearly
81 500 600 in the surplus, brings that item
up TO $40. s71.275. Now that the diversion
of internal revenue collections from the
treasury to the special depository banks
has ceased the hanks will have TO depend
entirely upon the interior movement Tor
any further Improvement in the condition
At the moment they are strong enough Tor
all practical purposes, and are, in fact, IN
condition to increase moderately their ac-
commodations TO customers and others
Should the receipts OF money from the in-
terror fall off or the speculative COM
munity make considerable demands upon
lenders the present rates for money might
easily prove to be the lowest of the sea-
son. This possibility will logically serve
to keep speculation within conservative
limits.
The dealings in stocks today were on
fairly large scale and the market was IL
regular owing TO realizing sales at the
end of week of rising prices. The net
changes. which favored both accounts,
were as a rule fractional.
About the only noteworthy net ructua-
ton was a decline of 3-S in sugar he
fuing. the result of a sharp selling move
meut shortly before the close OF business
On the other hand. St. Paul common WAS
exceptionally strong on the favorable
showing of gross earnings for the last
week in January. National Steel. Linseed

Northern preferred were other strong tea
