ABOLISH FEE SYSTEM
A SALARY TOR THE NATIONAL
 BANK EXAMINERS.
This Wnl Be Deae If The Reesms nen1ntiena ef Secretary Csrte1-
 ysu Ana Cemptroller Murray Are Carried Out.

Washington. Jan. a---Nstionai bank examiners will be put upon . salary or per diem and expense basis and the present fee, system will be abolished. If recommendations made by Secretary Cortelyou. Comptrof1er Murray and Deputy Comptroller Kane of the Treas ury Department. are carried into ef- feet. Members of the National None. tary Commission who will transmit ment into law. believe that the propo- sition will meet with favor.
 Under the fee system the comptroller does not direct the routes of the ex- aminers. According to Deputy Comp troller Kane. any bank on the list Of ( certain examiner may locate him at any time on the route and anticipate about when he will reach that bank for examination
 Under a per diem basis, 1t is the theory that an examination will vary the order of his examination SO that it will be impossible for bank to know when to expect visit from him. Placed upon a salary basis. 1t Is be- ficiality in examinations will be re- moved in large part.
 Despite the increased cost to the banks under the change suggested. . great many banks have recommended it. Deputy Comptroller Kane said there were some advantages to be de- rived from changing by an examiner from one section of the country to another but that he believed they would be outweighed by the disadysn- tages. Hs
 Tt takes an examiner some little time to get . thorough knowledge Of the paper that he handles" said Mr. Kane He becomes acquainted with the financial rssponsibility of the bor- rowers and the securities Where au examiner because of his leng stay in one district becomes too well acauaint. ed with the bankers, he takes too much for granted
 The members Of the monetary com mission recognize the need of laws which will enable the treasury de- partment to deal with violations of law where the infraction is insufficient to warrant the closing of the instttn- ton.

Fhers Were s,ss0 Books Donated in Same Time---In Inspiring Talk Rev. E. E. Cobbs Tells
 sf BfbIical Tasks.

Every seat in the spacious assembly room of the First Baptist Church was taken at 7:30 o'clock last night at the annual meeting of the Alabama Bible Society. composed of all Christian de- nominations. B. M. Washburn. presf- dent of the society presided.
 As result of the meeting many new members were enrolled and the great est interest in the4 meeting and the work was shown. Cards for member ship were distributed while the ses- sion was in progress and few were those returned unsigned.
 Promine.lt churchmen from all the houses of worship in the city were present. The report of the directors of the institution shows year of good work. despite the adverse financial con- ditions that were prevalent during the greater part of the last twelve months.
 After several musical selections. the invocation was pronounced by Dr. O. c. McGhee, in a few we'll chosen words. Dr. N. M. Woods next read from the Scriptures, and was followed by Pres ident Washburn, who read the annual report. Rev. D. E. Cobbs made a deep impression with an address ap- propriate to the. occasiont
 Report of Board.
 President Washburn made the tols lowing most gratifying report of the Board of Directors:
 Montgomery, Ala. Dec. 31. 1908.
 ''At the close of the hfty.seventh year of the society, we are pleased to report that our work has prospered in spite of the financial depression that has prevailed. While we had hoped to increase our distribution of books to 25,0o0 copies this year, yet in view of the financial condition of the ceuii- try we feel like we have done we'll to distribute 17,552 copies.
 Tn the work we have tried faith fully to supply the poor who are uii- able to buy the Word. Our financial exhibit shows that we have donated about 3,960 books. We also laid great sr1phasis- upon that part of our work which attempts to supply the foreign ers in our midst with Gods Holy Word in their own language. With Q Bible in every home there would rise sent inent for peace and law which has never been equaled in our fair State. With healthy public sentiment law will be enforced. This will come through no other source than knowl- edge of Gods Word, It is incumbent upon us to see that the Divine Word is put into the hands of every human being in Alabama and elsewhere to, the utmost extent of our ability.

that mental freedom which guides us safely between the bald assumptions of sheer matsrialism, and the intangible sophistries of an impossible idealisn. The two extremes into which thought may fall are alike excluded by the Bib- Heal account, namely. the isolation of God from nature and the immersion of God In nature. We do too little real ize that the source of all ciear-thinkinG about the relation of mind to matter. of God to the Universe spring from the Old Testament conception of Creation. and the New Testament proclamation iof Incarnation.
 Even in the idealistic philosophy. of the Greeks, matter remains. however subifmated. and irrational, something with which the Divine power never comes to terms. It was only in the consciousness which the Prophets of Is- raei had of God that the thought of the Divine omnipotence fully prevailed The Biblical conception of Creation is the great contribution of the old Testament is product of intelligence, the result of ''the act of One outside the material framei the personal VIII which gave origin to what we see, maintains 1t, or- dsrs 1t and utilixes At for His own pur:. poses. ss cs
 rThis conception of Creation, of the relation between God and the universe as set forth in the Old Testament, was reaf1rmed and enlarged in the an- nouncement of the Incarnation. that Spirit Is the ultimate reality of matter: God is Spirit and yet He who hath seen me hath seen the Father
 Through the Biblical conceptions. therefore, of God and the universe. we are delivered from this bald antithesis of mind and matter. and saved from the blind dilemma which ffnagines that be. lief in the reality of spirit involves the denial that matter exists.
 T would urge these considerations as of paramount importance. because they suggest the ultimate meaning of the revelation of the Bible to us, and be- cause the failure to understand them has been the profinc source of those err TOTS of materiaiism on the one hand. and of ideafism on the other. whick alike tend to destroy the message of the Bible. and to leave men and women in a maze of bewfidermsnt and despair.
