Church Duties of Youth.
After DR.. Powers address. Rev. DR.. NJ.
Ross Fishburn, pastor of Mount Pleasant
Congregational Church. spoke on the
duties OF the young people to the church.
He said:
Il always think Of the Christian En-
deavor Union in its relations TO the
church in the same way I regard the re-
lations Of a child to its parents. The
union is a child OF the church We all
know the commandment. Honor thy
father and thy mother True in
the case Of the child II is also true
in regard to the Christian Endeavor
Union. May God bless you, the members
OF the union. as childfen in this beau
tiful relationship
Rev DR.. Donald c. Macleod, pastor Of
First Presbyterian Church. spoke on sThe
duty Of the societies to the union"
Duty is a great thing said Dr. Mac
Leod. 1T is one Of the greatest things
in the world. In my anxiety to attend
TO my duty, 1 passed by a drug store on
my way home, when 1 wanted 20 stop
and buy a glass of soda water. I gave
up my pleasure for duty But a sacrifice
or this kind always has its reward.
What He Found in Study.
When I arrived at the church. I asked
for glass Of water, and was told 20 90
TO the pastors study in the rear Of the
church. Here ] found fee water. but also
something else-something which, il YOU
knew what It was. would make you wish
would not consume all the ten minutes
allotted me in making my address. What
l saw comes in a wooden tub. open at
the top and seemingly filed with ice. In
derneath the ice is generally found some
thing more desirable as an edible than
Ice. Can you guess what It is?"
DR. MacLeOds remarks caused much
laughter, as most of the members of the
union present knew that Il is a custom Of
many years 10 serve ice cream after the
annual meeting. in addition to other re-
freshments.
The closing address was delivered by
Rev. John Weidley, pastor Of the Luth-
eran Church Of the Reformation, who de-
livered a short talk on The duty of the
union 70 the societies" Rev. Dr. Power
delivered the benedicton.

New York, December 19.-In the quiet of Saturday half holiday in Wall street, employees of the National City bank this afternoon effected the transfer of s7O.0OO- GOO in currency and nearly s590, oOO GOO of securities from the banks temporary quarters across Wall street to the new bank building formerly the old custom house.
 Soon after banking hours, a squad of police formed a double line across the narrow thoroughfare and between the two lines a procession of the bank s 300 employees began to march from the old building to the new. carrying with them small safes. chests. boxes and bags in which the wealth of the bank had been placed for the transfer. Two employees were detailed to carry each receptacle. One of these pairs carried several mil lions of dollars in s10,O0o notes between them in one safe. Close behind each couple walked plain clothes man.
 All was quiet and orderly. only a few score of persons witnessing the transfer.
 It is necessary to go to some of the great central government banks of Eu rope to find an institution whose sources compare with those of the Ma tional City bank. Its total assets re- gently touched the record figure of sS72, S49, ,O0O a sum sufficient to pay off the national debts of Mexico and all the Cen tral American countries. A few months previous the cash reserve of this in stitution was nearly $1OO,oO0,0OO Early in November gross deposits touched the high figure of $30S, ,77S,0O0.
 The new home of the National City bank in the rebuilt custom house is worthy of Americas largest banking in- stitution. A year ago the old custom house, which entirely occupies a city block on lower Wall street. was turned over to the builders. The interior was
