A number of the corpoFators and trus- tees were present at the conference. at which the following communication was presented
 Bank Commissioners' Recommendation
 Hartford, Conn., July 24th, 1914. To the Officers and Corporators of the Putnam Savings Bank. Put
 Gentlemen: The affairs of the Put nam Savings bank have reached such condition that we feel it our duty to make urgent recommendations and re- quests to the present corporators of the bank. The bank has been shown by an appraisal made in behalf of the bank to be insolvent to the extent of about $100,000. The figures vary very little from the estimate made at the banking department of the state In the opinion of the bank commission CTS the situation requires immediate and radical action. At the present time, we understand you have on your board of trustees very few persons who are in active business for them selves. In savings banks of the size of the Putnam Savings bank. the con- ffdence of the people is better obtained by having upon the board of trustees a g0odly number of active and suc- eessfui business men selected from the various parts of the banking commu- nifty. When a bank which has had a splendid reputation in the past be- comes even slightly involved in finan- cial difficulties, there is bound to be at the least some distrust as to the ability of those in control. While the people may not think that anything dishonest has occurred in the manage ment of the affairs of such bank. vet ] the ability of those in control is Iiable l to be. at least. slightly questioned. The bank commissioners believe that l ten. twelve or fifteen of the most cap- | able and successful men of your bank l ing community engaged in active pus- mess. either mercantile. farming. man ufacturin& or Mnherwise. should bs

Growing old has many stages. You can remember the time when, in read

 gusted to find that he had made his hero forty years old, and you won

 putting romance to such an unconscion, able age. By and by, even though you found forty years to be the old age of youth, you were solaced by the thought that it was the youth of old age. and still later you will wonder where youth ends and old sse begins

amusing lines. Jack Edwards does an
acrObatic dancing specially that is
gracefully and skillfuny accomplish

cludes harmony that is pleasing and

The humorous lines are original and

NEIGHBOR LOVE IS
SUBJECT OF PASTOR
Gods Love Can Only Exist as Ii
Finds Someone or Some
thing to Love.

At the Sunday evening services at
the Trinity Presbyterian church. Rev
John S. Burns took for his theme
"Neighbor Love-" He drew several
fine lessons from the Bible on love
of fellOwman. He spoke, in part, as
follows:
John is the apostle Of love. love
Of God, love to man. II is a great
subject NeighbOr love is born OF
God. He who loves his neighbor as
himself is begotten of God and
knOweth God
Gods love can only exist as il finds
someone or something to love. There
fore Jesus Christ is the expression Of
Gods love. He came to us that love
TO God and man might be born in
us and be made perfect in us
Yes, Gods love is perfected in us.
His love is not all that He wishes
it to be until il is seen constantly in
the lives of His children, shining out
through our every thought word and
action.
I'VE can be conscious Of this in
dwelling, abiding loce of God in US, 10y
confessing Him and trusting Him.
Fear then will be taken away and we
will be living the true life OF love
to God and love to man."
