RICHMOND AS a FINANCIAL CENTER.

The opening tomorrow OF the Federal Reserve
banks inaugurates the banking and cur
rency system, probably the greatest single
achievement Of the Democratic administration.
Here in Richmond one of these banks opens,
and Richmond takes her rightful place in the
public view DIS one Of the great banking centers
Of the country. That position 1t has always
held; that position is now recognized.
The strength OF the banks Of Richmond has
been & justihable boast of the political capital
of Virginia and the industrial capital of the
South. To il has been due much OF the rapid
commercial progress OF the city, and to it is due
In part the selection of Richmond as the location
OF one of the twelve Reserve banks. Among
those familiar with financial conditions, Rich
mond has been known as a veritabe Gibraltar
Of finance, and with the opening of the great
Federal institution tomorrow morning the
knowledge is spread.
The Ptrglnida congratulates the banks OF
Richmond upon their strength and the bankers
of Richmond upon the soundness of their bank
ing. and expresses the hope that tomorrow
marks a new and even greater era for them, for
their business and for the city.

In Christ's Army.


A soldier must learn and practice obedience to
rghtful authrity.
In Christ's army obedience is required and
must be rendered.
Religion is obedience to the win of Christ
Mere profession is misunderstanding my
friends" etc.
a good soldier of Jesus Christ must not
be known as on the Lords side.
A leyaI soldier is not ashamed to wear his
uniform nor to acknowledge his position.
Good soldiers of Christ not ashamed to
own their allegiance to their Lord. Loyalty
and love inspire them with courage to confess
Christ-not ostentatiousy--bu hurnbly, yet
boldly.
TO be n good soldier OF Jesus Christ the
Christian must seek to become skillfui in the
use of holy weapons.
A soldier would be of little use in actual war
fare If he had weapons, or did not know now
to them.
Chrlsts soldiers to put on the whoie
armor of God. See Eph. s:13-1s.
Every part of the armor Is needed In the
conflict with sin.
Skill in using holy weapons is gained by prac-
tce.
To be A good soldier of CHRIST requires
courage and steadfastness
A soldier needs to be brave.
In the Christian life holy courage Is needed
Steadfastness is needed.
Conclusion:

recommend legislation and approve or veto

Tie Last of the Lees

Captain Robert z. Lee, last surviving of
the great Confederate leader. has just passed
away the age OF seventy-one. An amiable
man. who as lad his spurs in civil strife,
he has spent his adult years quiet farmer
and is known to fame only as biographer Of
his father. None of the of General Lee
attained distinction, although all have been hon
orable who have lived in retirement since
the great conflict. General Fitzhugh Lee. the
best known of the family in modern times. was
a nephew of the Confederate captain who laid
down his sword at Appomattox.
There a time when 1t seemed that the
Lees of Virginia were going to rival the Adj
amses Of Massachusetts a family dstin-
tinguished through many generations Light
Horse Harry Lee is still of the best remem-
hered of Revolutionary heroes but aside
from his Robert and grandson Fitzhugh,
the roll of time contains no great names of the
family. The Nirginians who were great have
had few descendants to wear their iclothes
Washington was childless and Jefferson left no
and the line is wellnigh extinct. The Ran
dolphs and Henrys, the Madisons and Monroes
are not represented today BY men Of distinction
but the fifth generation of the Adams family Is
prominent in public life.
There a time in England or Amer
.ca where birth made little difference in the
opportunity for distinction now. The Lees
and the Adamses are our most conspicuous
amples of the contrary. and it is possible that
had the Confederacy Won its contest the Lees
of the third generation from Harry might have
made a larger mark in history. We have even
gone to the extreme limit in changing our Of
hcials often that he is an unusually we'll in
formed who could today name fifty mem

Current Comment
importance OF Expression.

The remark was made Of a singer. he had
no expression in his voice" The same may be
said of ali the conditions Of life The principal
differences that notes In conduct the
spirit which appears in expression. The value
Of a deed consists in the soul that one puts into
1t. one may be perfectly accurate in voice. mo-
ton. language and the formal parts of be-
hayior, yet there is spirit In 1t. no express
sion of what the real person is behind the deed
So, after all. the most important thing In in
dividual life is its expression. The only truth
of a statement a song act. Is the spirit that
accompanies them. This makes expression the
principal object of education. There can be no
education without the development OF the spirit.
A man who may know how to sing, but does not
sing is not educated Education Is the most
practical matter. Its object is to do good, and
there is way Of doing good except through
the direction OF the spirit Leave that out OF
consideration and education becomes no more
than pile fdead leaves.--Ohio State Journal
