order to create a substantial surplus &C
count at the outset and also to provide
for the initial guaranty fund assessment.
which is required of state banks under
the guaranty OF deposits law of Nebraska.
The promoters of this new insutu-
ton point out that exclusive of South
Omaha. recently consolidated with
Omaha, Omaha proper has no savings
bank. and that in this respect Omaha
stands alone as practically all the cities
in the country have one or moro banks
strictly for savings.
Although most of the savings banks of
the country are organized as mutual COM
panies, having no capital stock, their
dividend earnings, based on any given
capitalization. being merely estimated.
the Douglas County Savings bank Is to
incorporate with the specific amount OF
10000 capital. The law of Nebraska does
not permit the organization of mutual
savings banks.

RELATIONS OF GOD AND MAN
Gradual REIMBURSEMENT Means a Con-
tnuaI Advance Toward the
Higher Life.

In studying the Bible it becomes in
creasingly apparent that the relations
between God and man are not con-
slant or fixed, but are subject 20 a
gradual REIMBURSEMENT. In the earlier
chapters the ideal held out is for man
to fear" God Later he learns to
trust, to limited extent, this higher
life. Eventually this grudging faith
Is turned to love, which recognizes God
as the father, constantly giving him
self, as life and wisdom, to his chill
dren. And beyond this comes that
fruitioD Of growth which constitutes
real unity; man is merged with God,
ana comes to realize that 81 and the
Father are one"
God never changes, but our under
standing OF him does change. AID
it IS the evolution of this ideal which
we have Of the great sea of life in
which We live, and which lives In
and through US, which constitutes real
growth and advancement. Life is for
that; the everyday tasks tend toward
the bringing forth of self-conscious-
less, which is always a fuller consci.

Strange Death Message.

It may have been strange and
tragic coincidence. Some will believe
there was more in it than that The
husband Of Paris woman violinist,
himself musician, left for the front
shortly after mobilization. His name
was Remy. At parting he told his
wife: "If l go under l will try to let
you know directly before the official
news reaches you" She scarcely
played any music during his absence.
But the other day she took up her vio-
lin, feeling impelled to play one piece
which he liked above all She opened
the case, and two strings Of the violin
suddenly snapped, the D and the E.
Re" and Mi" she at once thought.
1t was the warning be had said he
would give her. The next day tele-
gram informed her that her husband,
Sergeant Remy, had been killed in
action.
