GERMAN BANKS ARE
ALSO INVOLVED

Berlin, April 3o.-It now transpires that
certain German banks are involved in
the insolvency of the Alabama cotton
Arm of Knight. Yancey & Co. On the
bourse today shares of the Deutsche Ma
tional bank Of Bremen were sharply de-
pressed because 1t was assumed that the
house had sustained severe losses through
forged bills of lading. The bank itself
appears to te still in doubt whether bills
accepted BY 1t were forged or genuine.
In any case, officers of the institution
do not expect the losses to exceed $500, 600.
The Deutsche bank is also apparently
involved, but its officers authorize the
statement that serious losses are not an
ticipated. The interested houses are
waiting anxiously for the arrival of
steamers upon which cotton was osten-
sibly shipped
Only on the coming of these vessels
can the losses be definitely determined.

thoughts this new affection has expelled
from our hearts The old desires and
longings have vanished and in their place
have come uplifting ambitions to do that
which is right. to be of service to our

In the study of this lesson the thirteenth

We should think more Of the welfare

an unconscious condition, and whose first
words when he recovered consciousness,

wreck discovered a poor fellow who had
been overlooked and who would have died
but for this thoughtfulness Of his friend:

Glove God, Love Your Neighbor."

But the leader Of the people tried again.
A lawyer was put forward, who asked
what was the great commandment of
the lava favorite problem of the hair
splitting scribes. Some said one law,
some said another. Jesus stopped to
split no hairs; he answered straight from
the shoulder. Love God-and love your
neighbor.'' Every other duty depends
upon Or grows out of these. Again the
answer-they were silenced.
So Jesus taught that "love is the full
fillment of the law'-iove 10 God, VINO
created men and cares for them, and
them and cares for them also. One evil
dence that men love God is their read-
ness to love others and effort to do all
they can for them Of course, there are
those who profess to love God, who seem
to be careless of the interest of any one
but themselves. But instead of judging
them, 1t would be we'll for those who
see their shortcomings to do their best
to avoid the same faults themselves. G
Then Jesus turned the tables on the
Pharisees by asking them a question
about Himself. They paid a. great deal
OF attention to the Old Testament prophe-
cies concerning the Messiah. yet saw
only the surface meaning of them. The
think We of Christi Whose son is he?"
shows this superficial view. They de-
clared that Christ was the son of David
This was right. but He was more. He
was David's lord. the son Of God. David,
in writing the 10th psalm. said: Jehovah
saith unto my lord. sit at my right hand
until make thine enemies thy footstool."
David, speaking by inspiration Of God,
called the Messiah his lord. to whom Je-
hovah spoke. asking him to sit at his
side as his co-regent.
Then followed a second question: IF
David then called him lord, how is he
then his SOM" To this the only answer
is that Christ Is both human and d.
vine not only the son of David, but the
son Of God. But the Pharisees could not
answer the question. They were silent
Thereafter none of them dared asa Him
any question. Jesus was a master at
answering questions as at asking them,
and at all other things besides.
How loving and patient and considerate
Jesus is in all His dealings with men
He does His best to lead men to accept
Him and love Him. II they will not.
they have only themselves to blame.

passage in the Bible, but we can draw
two great facts from it, as we'll as from
other verses of the inspired Word: First,
that satan is always bent on doing mis-
chief. hurting and hinder,ng the children
Of men; and, second, that God limits
his power; he can go only so far and no
farther God will not suffer us to be
tempted above what we are able to bear,
but will, with the temptation. also make
way to escape that we may De aDle 10
bear it. q. Cor, 1O:12)
And now let us turn directly to our
subject and see how We are to resist the
devil. We will first make few neces-
sary statements for our encouragement
and guidance: First. We must resist him.
We cannot go on regardless of temptation
and its power. We must either fight or
be lost. 1t is true that we cannot gain
the victory over the devil alone; we need
Gods help. 1t is true. too. that our vic
tory, when gained. is not the proof of
our salvation; we are saved by the mercy
of Christ and by His victory But we
must resist satan when he tempts us;
and If we are at first defeated We must
keep on lighting. and never give up, for
that is our appointed lot on earth. Re-
member. dear fellow Christian. That you
must keep up the battle until the very
end Of life. Only death can free us from
1t. We are never so good nor so strong
but that the devil is at hand Even in
our hottest moments and in the hottest
places he intrudes himself. and in our
thoughts or desires seeks to do us harm.
We must resist We can never lay aside
our armor, never cease to watch and
pray. Second, we must be intelligent
enough to penetrate ratan's DISCUSSES.
He is wonderfully subtle and shrewd,
and does not hesitate to make us think
his voice is Gods voice. Tennyson. in
his Two Voices bring this out clearly.
and so does Robert Browning in his
Ring and the Book" All, but it takes
keen judgment to know how to overcome
in this world. where all kinds of cOndi-
lions and experiences are seized by evil
and made to serve a dangerous purpose.

Rev Mr.. Bagby was honored by an
election to the chaplaincy of the House
of Representatives of the Fifty-third Con-
gress, and for five times has been the
democratic nominee for that position.
He filled the pulpit Of the Ninth Street
Church for fifteen years and went from
here to the Franklin Circle Christian
Church Of Cleveland, Ohio. one OF the old
est and most influential congregations
OF its denomination. Shortly after his
health became impaired he resigned.
After a period of rest. he took charge
of church in Fort Smith, Ark. where
he has also had notable ministry. Mr..
Bagby was born fOrty-fiye years ago in
Virginia, and was educated at Aberdeen
Academy. Va. and Pennsylvania Uni
versity. Ky. graduating from Yale Di-
vinity School in 1890. His many friends
will learn with no small degree OF pleas
ure of his coming north again and that
he will be located so near the scene OF
his early church work.
