pie do not realize yet Is that neither
the trinity nor the virgin birth has
anything at all to do with faith, or be-
lief. nor do they necessarily have any
bearing upon religion.
THE Trinitarian doctrine is based
on speculation, but the wise man al
ways holds himself open to change his
views as new facts come to light and
as the old ones get new light thrown
upon them. / don't suppose there are
half dozen persons in this country
who understand what they are talking
about when they accuse DR.. Aked OF
heresy. There is a good deal Of dishon-
esty in religious circles. A man is not
heather because he does not accept
the Trinitarian doctrine, and neither Is
DR.. Aked or any other person less
christian because he processes disbe-
lief in it. The doctrine Of the Trinity
was forced upon us to prevent Jesus
from being reduced to the level OF
man. Modernism is not denial of the
Trinity: it is the translation Of faith
into brotherly love, kindness, social
sympathy and worldwide love. 1t Is
not a very dreadful thing at all.
There has been an awful lot Of
humbug in the cry against DR.. Aked
because of his position in regard to
the mira culous birth Of Christ. 1t was
high time that somebody had the cour-
age to discuss this question clearly.
The virgin birth is simply matter OF
evidence, and has nothing TO do with
faith-no more than the doctrine of
the Trinity has. | neither accept the
virgin birth nor reject it. | neither be-
lieve nor disbelieve it. I simply let
the question lay on the table. There
was an idea behind the virgin birth,
just as there was behind the Trinity.
1t was an idea that humanity was pol
luted and unholy. II we are going to
have creed, let 1t be something that
will make men more charitable and
make them foreswear those anti-social
curses which disfigure civilization.
The scens was the telegraph coun-
ter of a branch postoffice in the West
End. A young man had spoiled half
a-dozen forms trying to frame mes
sage, and the subtle fragrance Of an
open letter hsld in his hand, as we'll
as a certain wildness of expression
in his eyes, had attracted the atten-

tossed the complet ed message to the
woman clerk, together woth six
penny piece. After counting the
words, the clerk said: Another half
penny please" The young man pro
tested that there were only twelve
words in the message, including the
address. ''Thirte en- insisted the
clerk, pointing to the last word. Pick

RESERVE BANKS TO
OPEN NOVEMBER 16

McAdoo Says Conditions In South
Necessitated Action. Says It VIII
Help Cotton.
Washington, Oct. 25.-The twelve
Federal reserve banks OF the new
banking system will be opened for
business November 16. This was off,
cially announced today.
Secretary McAdoo, authorized by the
Currency Act to name the opening
date, made the announcement. His
choice Of tho 10th was made despite
the recent recommendations Of the di-
rectors and governors Of the twelve
banks not to open before November 80.
Mr.. McAdoo declared he had reach
ed his decision after discussion with
the Feeral reserve board and because
Of emergency conditions in the South.
He believes the operation Of the banks,
especially helpful there. will benefit
business in all sections.
In statement tonight the Secre-
tary made 1t clear that under the new
system the Federal government will be
able to deposit rom the general fund
Of the treasury In reserve banks to aid
producers OF staples. The new resolu-
ton rejuires. he pointed out, the re-
lease OF $48,000,0O0, now held by ma
tional banks as reserves, and will add
greatly to the loaning power Of the
banks.
The statement In part fillows:
II have determined to announce on
the 10th day of November, 1914, the
establishment OF the Federal reserve
banks in all the Federal reserve dis
tricts. On that day the new reserve
requirements for national banks. as
prescribed by the Act, will become
operative.
am impelled to this decision par
ticularly because Of the emergency
conditions in the South and tho conf
dent belief that the prompt opening Of
the reserve banks will be very helpful
to the cotton situation and to general
! business in all sections OF the country
"This conclusion has been reached
after thorough discussion with my

make of the Federal reserve banks as
fiscal agents of the government 1t will
be prudent and wise to deposit a large
amount OF the general fund of the
treasury in the Federal reserve banks.
''As soon. therefore, as the reserve
banks are in operation, l shall trans
fer to them as large an amount Of
government funds as possible, and this
will in turn, enable them TO extend
enlarged credits to national banks and
state banks which ma ybecome mem

which they, in turn may extend to
their customers. BY this means and
through the agency Of the Federal re-
serve banks, | hope to give additional
assistance to that already given by the
treasury department to the cotton pro
Gucers, the cotton industry and the
business men Of he South.
"The new reserve requirements,
which will become operative on No
vember 16, will release more than
$40O,000,000 or reserve money and
largely increase the credit facilities Of

II ain fully aware Of the physical

the situation, but that they will cheer

spirit of public service which animat-
ed their decisions at the Washington
conference.
"As the result Of the enactment Of
the war revenue measure, the parity
between receipts and disbursements
Of the treasury will soon be happily
restored. This will make it possible
for the treasury to render still great
er service than 1t has already rendered
in helping the financial situation in
the South and in other parts Of the
country where the need has appeared.
