CANADIAN BANK SUSPENDS
Depositors Will Lose Nothing, But
 Stockholders Will.

Toronto, January 1S.-The Sovereign Bank of Canada has gone into liquida- tion and the Bankers association will take charge of the assets tomorrow. The bank has 76 branches in Ontario, Quebec, the northwest and the mari time provinces.
 The Sovereign bank was organized in Toronto in 1904 with d capital of $1,700, 900, which was increased in 1906 to $4,000,000. When the. Dresdener Bank of Germany took $20O0,000 of it's stock in June last the, whole reserve account of s1.250,O00 was wiped out, to- gether with $1,O0O, 900 of the capital, and the bank was reorganized.
 Since the reorganization deposits have fallen off $S,000,000.
 The Bankers association held a meet ing which lasted long into the night, discussing the banks affairs.
 It was stated at midnight that an ar engagement had been perfected whereby all branches of the bank would be taken over by other banks in the asso- citation and business will be continued as usual.
 The depositors will lose nothing, but holders of shares in the Sovereign bank will not fare so well.

ly afterward went to visit an aged and dying relative, Arch-deacon Hill of Liver pool Bishop Bickersteth found the arch deacon somewhat troubled In mind, and, 1t being natural to him to express in verse the spiritual comfort which he de- sired to convey, the bishop took up Q sheet of paper and there and then wrote down the hymn just exactly as it stands and read 1t to his dying friend.
 An example of a hymn being written toFsuit a certain tune Is furnished by the grand old favorite "I Think When I Read that Sweet Story of Old" Mrs. Luke, the author, was very much inn pressed one day by an old Greek tune which she had seen the children of the Normal Infant sch ool, Gray's Inn road marching to, and while going home on the stagecoach she wrote the words to suit the music on the back of an old envelope.
 There are two accounts of how Just as Am came to be written. One au- thority asserts that it was while she lay in great physical weakness on a sofa the other members of the family being present at a bazar In which all but the invalid were taking an active part that Charlotte Elliott, the author of the hymn, wrote the words which have stirred the hearts of thousands On the other hand, the story Is that a young girl was going to the town to choose new dress for bali. On her way she met a priest, who said she ought not to go. However, she went, but did not enjoy the evening at all and returned home miserable. Char lotte Elliott (for that was the young girls name) went to confess to her priest all about it and asked what she should de. He advised her to go home and tell Jesus all about it. Just as I am?" she said Yes just as you are" She returned home and on her knees composed that lovely hymn Just as l Am" The proofs, however seem to point to the first story, which is given in Dr. Julians "Dictionary of Hymnol- ogy," as being the correct one.
 pr. Julian, by the way, tells us that the total number of Christian hymns in the 200 or more languages and dia- lects in which they have been written is not less than 100000, German com ing first with 100000 and English next.

REACH1NG AN AGREEMENT.
Mr.. Vreeland Tells Why the Repre-
sentatives Of the House Will
Not Yield to the Senate.

After several hours Of fruitless discus

ference on the currency bill abandoned
hope of reaching agreement.
Mr.. Vreeland leader of tine House man.
ayers in the conference. made the follow
ing statement for publications.
The conferees on the part of the
House and the conferees on the part of
the Senate held today what will probably
be their last meeting during the present
session We have been unable to agree
upon reconciling the bills passed by either
house. The situation will remain in statu
quo until next winter.
The Senate bill provides that state.
municipal and district bonds shall be the
basis for emergency circulation to the ex-
tent Of $500. coo 900. All of the national
banks in the United States hold not to
exceed sixty, or at the outside seventy,
million dollars worth of these bonds
which could be used for circulation. The
great cities of New York. Boston. Chicago
and st. Louis together hold less than
$2O.OO0.OOO Of these bonds. If. then. these
bonds are to be used as a basis for emer-
gency currency the national banks of the
United States would have to divert more
than S4OO,GOOOOO from commercial chan
nels and tie them UP in bonds for which
they might never have any use and which

particularly, say that they do not own
these bonds and could not afford to divert
their funds from commercial channels to
tie them up in this class of securities.
The bankers. hundreds of whom have
either appeared here or written here. are
almost unanimous in saying that they
could not afford to and would not mr.
chase these bonds. Therefore. it seems
that the remedy offered by the Senate
would be useless in case of panic.
The law proposed by the House could
be instantly used in any section n the
United States upon property always on
