Put an End to Anxiety.

"The opening of these banks" said
Secretary McAdoo, marks new era in
the history of business and finance in
this country. 1t is believed that they
will put an end to the annual anxiety
from which the country has suffered for
the past generation about insufficient
money and credit TO move the crops
each year and viii give such stability
to the banking business that the ex-
treme fluctuations in interest rates and
available credits which have character
ized banking in the past win be de-
stroyed.
"The federal reserve banks provide for
a system of credits based upon CONNER
cial paper, thus at last securing to the
country an adequate supply of the nee
essary credits TO meet the legitimate de-
mands of business as they develop.
"The supply will be absolutely respon-
sive to the demand, and thus business
viii be freed from restrictions, limita
tions and injuries from which il has suf
fered in the past, because it has not
been able TO recc We at the time when
most needed the credit facilities which |
were essential to its regular and proper |
development. The whole country is TO
be congratulated"

THE FIRST LENT.
Christ's Fasting and Temptations in the Desert Theme of Sermon by Rev. T. A. Grumbly.

St Matthew's narration of Chrlsts fasting for forty days and nights when led by the spirit into the desert and his temptation by Satan, iv. 1-11, was the gospel read in the Catholic churches yesterday, the first Sunday in Lent. At St Patriclxs church at the high mass Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly preached from this gospel, specifically on the three temptations of Our Lord.
 Christ replied to the devil, Man liv- eth not by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth Of God" rebuke to those whose only thoughts are of worldly things, to par ents who commit unspeakable crimes that they offspring may hace suste- nance, and to those who, in discour- agement. fear sometimes that Provi- dence has forgotten them.
 In putting aside the second tempta- ton. Jesus would teach us that we must not expect God to perform @ miracle for us when it is not neces- sary By bidding the devil begOne, after the third temptation, Christ's words, The Lord, thy God, shalt thou adore, and Him only shalt thou serve,' . indicate how temptations should be met.
 Christ did not seek temptation, neith- CT should we. And when temptations come to us, as they come to all, we are promised that if we but have depend ence upon Him, He will make issue even with temptation and will not suffer up to be tempted above our strength

Mime CoromiIas Much in the Favor of
 Queen Sophia.

A New York Sunday paper. in 2 column special from Athens makes this reference to Ambassador Coromil- as and his wife (Anna Cockre1D who were married in Norwich three years ago. at the home of Mime Coromilazs' sister, Mrs. EdsOn F. GaIIudet:
 The city is beginning to prepare seriously for the coronation next May of the new king and queen, who will be crowned with great spIendor probably with the title of Augustus and Augusta. The full ritual of the Byzantine church will be used, the same as when the Czars of Russia are crowned at Moscow. and both the King and Queen will wear coronation robes adorned with magnificent jew els.
 The king plans are guarded care fully, but Queen Sophia, as she is now known. has been having numer- ous conferences with the ladies of her court in preparation for the festivi- ties of the coronation. Nme Corom- las has been generally included in these conferences, an evidence of the Queens friendly attitude toward her. and the American. girl will probably take an important role in assisting the Queen at her receptions in honor of the distinguished foreign visitors for the coronation.
