PROPOSED FOREIGN CREDIT.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
There Is APPARENTLY no point Of view
from which the credit which Great
Britain and France are seeking 10 es-
tablish here may be considered a
detriment to this country. Not even
the German sympathizers. for the most
part in the Middle West who threaten
70 withdraw their accounts from banks
which share in its establishment. can
argue that IL would not benefit the
United States. They are inevitably
oeing manueovred into the position OF
opposing a benefit 10 Uncle Sam in
the interest of Germany.
To begin with. the establishment OF
the colossal credit proposed would
largely solve the problem OF finding
safe employment for the vast surplus
reserve OF nearly $500. 900. 600 pos
sessed now by the national banks
alone. In the wholly artificial situa-
ton produced by the war this surplus
cannot be used With any safety in this
country. The imitation and over-specu-
lation IL would cause would lead to
profound disaster az the end OF the
war. II not before.
But perhaps OF more imemdiate and
tangible concern is the danger which
the credit would remove OF a serious
curtailment OF our foreign market. The
rapid decline and daily fuctation OF
sterling exchange have pointed a
warning for months that the difi-
Guilty and expense OF financing pur-
chases In the United States might
soon cause our best customers TO turn
elsewhere for their fodstuffs and sup

There is an old hymn which
reads My sins nailed Him to the
tree" Construed THEORETICALLY.
as II often Is. and made TO mean
that each SPECIFIC sin which you
and commit was foreseen.
measured. calculated and paid for
In the agonies Of Calvary. the dec
laration is utterly unreal to .he
modern mind and conscience.
But there Is a sense In which
this utterance Is everlastingly
true. Sin seems in certain aspects
TO have a personal. independent
and enduring existence. Times.
circumstances. sinners may
change; but sin endures. ever the
same.
The Cross OF Jesus Christ Is
not only an altar OF sacrifice. II
Is also a bar OF judgment and "all
sorts and conditions OF men" are
summoned before IL. tried. tested.
and convicted. The faces we look
upon in the surid light OF that
scene are familiar faces-faces we
we see in the crowd about US to-
day; ay, faces like our own. And
the sins that are revealed in that
light are familiar sins. sins such
as men are SHINING to-day: yes,
sins like yours and mine.
There are personal and indi-
vidual sins. then. like the coward
ice Of Peter and the treachery or
Judas. which persist down the
ages.
But there are also certain other
sins. which might be called group
sins or class sins. They are sins
whose temptations inhere I'm the
exigencies OF certain occupations
and professions, in the clrcum-
stances and environments OF GER
tain classes in society and certain
spheres OF life. They belong
naturally TO the class. profession
or occupation. and the individual
seems TO acquire. even absorb.
them from the very atmosphere
about him. Perhaps the best
name for them is composite sins.
You know what composite
photograph is. A group is chosen
plumbers, preachers. politicians.
what-not. The photograph OF each
Is taken and then one image Is
superinforced upon another until
the resultant, or composite. OF the
whole group is obtained In that
composite the most common and
Characteristic feature. good. bad,
indifferent. come out prominently.

distinct varieties OF these grouo.

II seems to have been ordained
that every typical form OF constr

fore the tribunal Of the cross

weakness. the besetting sin OF
each is illumined in the Light OF
the great tragedy.

people who can stand the strain

long and then almost invariably

and found wanting at Calvary. Its

IN the light OF the cross. We learn
