Money in Comfortable State

OF the total vary from $3.50 10000 to
$45O.0OO,00O The banks let is be known
several weeks ago that they would have
to finance this tremendous Indebtedness
most of which must be extended or re-
duced. Payment of any considera BILE
proportion of the Indebtedness would
of course, be an impossibility. That
leviathan adventure accomplished, how
ever, as per back room schedule then
the great American money center might
once more have surplus available for
the railroads. industrials and muni-
cipalities-at price. Until this local
financing could be completed other bor-
rowers might as well contain their pa
thence and keep on waiting. The case is
and uncharitably stated and the in
terests intending to enlist as candidates
for surplus funds as son as the finan-
cial stringency relaxed, sat down ia
wait. If conditions were to be as
dubious as forecasted they might not
care to borrow, anyway. They would
wait with what cheerfulness they could
muster until the agony of those June
adjustments were completed. It looks
now as though really men and corpo-
rations in good standing might not en-
counter serious difficulty after all, Sc

BISHOPS PLAN To
FIGHT 'VANDY'
DECISION
Hoss, Here for Sermon, Declares
Case viii Go to United States
Supreme Court.

That the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, does not mean to give
up its fight to regain control of Van
derbilt University until the case has
teen considered BY the United States
Supreme Court, Is the statement OF
Bishop T.. f. Hoss, of Nashville.
Bishop Hoss, In Atlanta as the
guest of DIR. II. NJ. DuBose, pastor
Of The First Methodist Church, where
he preached Sunday morning, says
that the church suffered a great in
Justice in the decision Of the court
Wrestling from It the control of the
famous educational institution. The
case, he says, will at once be APP
pealed to the Supreme Court.
Injustice ls Charged.
I'VE feel that neither statement OF
fact or the exposition of the law in
the decision of the court is correct,
said he we are sure that the church
has suffered a great injustice in the
matter
II we can get the case to the Su-
preme Court of the United States we
certainly shall take II there. II we
lose in the court OF last resort, OF
course we shall submit with the best
grace we can command"
Bishop Hoss was anxious during
his stay in Georgia to consult with
Judge n. e. Harris, OF Macon, one
OF the attorneys for the church, but
was compelled to return to Nashville
without doing so.
Takes Text From John.
Bishop Hoss' text for his sermon
Sunday morning was from the First
Epistle Of John, I:2: Behold. now as
we are the sons Of God, and 1t doth
not yet appear what we shall be; but
we know that when He shall appear
We shall be like Him; for we shall
see Him as He is"
This, said the distinguished divine,
is one of the most beautiful passages
in the Bible, setting forth as 1t does
the love Of God as portrayed by His
bestowal of the privilege Of sonship
upon mankind.
The text, said he, sets forth two
facts of our position as a result OF
Gods love:
First. the dignity OF our present
positon-"Now we are the sons Of
God"
Second, our future position-"We
shall be like Him"
