The foregoing was the substance Of
the sermon delivered by DR.. Maclach
Ian to his congregation at the Seventh

turned to account Richmond's great

few Of the city's problems and their

AS Nirginians we rejoice to-day that
the capital OF the old Confcderacy has
been designated the capital Of a new
financial confederacy of five sovereign
states, including also the District OF
Columbia. 1t makes the beginning
or new era of service, and brings
with IT duties and rcsponsit ilitics
commensurate with it's advantages
If the establishment in this city
or this great regional bank does not
mean also the founding of n greater
civic pride. civic duty. civic beauty ana
civic morality. II Will. in my opinion,
prove curse rather than blessing
The founding of this great institution
In our midst carries with II more
acute responsibility. Our sins must
hcnceforth be blacker. our virtues

The new bank. said DR. Maclachlan
