AFTER AMERICAN SECURITIES.
Great Britain Preparing to use Them
for Collateral.

LONDON, Nov. 2G.-The chancellor
Of the British exchecquer. Reginald
Mekenna, gave in the house of com
mons Wednesday the first official con
hrmation Of reports that the govern
ment had begun negotiations with LARGE
holders of American securities for fine
purpose of obtaining control of these
holdings. The negotiations. Mr.. Me-
kenna said, were confidential for the
present, but he promised to make n
full statement on the subject before tbe
general public was invited to Join the
movement.
It is thought that the primary pur-
pose of the government in mobilizing
these securities will be to use them AZ
collateral for additional credits in this
country. In no authoritative quarter
as 1t believed that they are to form the
basis of another external loan. For
several years before the war if was es-
timated that holdings of American Sc
eurities in Great Britain aggregated

Some say they can worship in the open,
They can, but they do not. The days
Of family worship are no more. Man
IS more than mere being OF aesh and
blood. He has a spirit that must bc
fed. The primary function of the
church is to educate the community
and to form and reform the character
OF individuals and community. The
effect of the church is to create n
sense of dependence on God, a sense of
our obligations to God. The church is
a means towards the end, not the end.
