ments to Currency Laws.

Amendments to the currency law
which would permit the concentration
of gold reserves in the Federal re
serve banks during the period of the
war will be sent to the Senate FOL

day. The House bill. approved By
the Federal Reserve Boad, also makes
technical changes in the currency
law and broadens the provisions re
lating to participation in the benefits
of the reserve system by State banks
and trust companies.
The principal section Of the bill is
intended to increase the gold hold
ings OF the reserve banks approx
mately s35O,OOO,OOO and to increase
their rediscount facilities proportion
ately. This is done by reducing the
statutory reserves of member banks
and requiring the deposit of reserves
in the. Federal reserve banks.
The House bill provides that IL not
in a reserve or central reserve city a
member bank shall hold and maintain
with the Federal reserve bank of its
district an actual net balance equal to
not less than per cent of the aggre.
gate amount OF its demand deposits
and per cent of its time deposits. II
in a reserve city the balance shall be
10 per cent and per cent and IL in a
central reserve city the proportion
shall be 13 per cent and per cent.
Another amendment to the currency
act permits nonmember State banks
and trust companies, even IL too small
to be eligible for membership in the
reserve system, to avaf themselves of
the clearing and collection facilities
of the system provided they cover at
par checks on themselves sent for col
lection by the Federal reserve bank,

PRELATE DEGREES
CHURCH AUSTERITY
Mgr. Thomas, In First Ser
mon, Urges More Gladness.

Some people take religion too Sc
| riousIy and insist upon the severe
and austere to such an extent as to
take the joy out of life. Mgr. Cornell
| Jus +. Thomas. new pastor of st. Pat
rick's Church, declared in his first
Washington sermon this morning.
The religion of Christ is not aus
tere. he said, nor does it intend to
destroy the sweet instincts implanted
by the Creator. but to bring a sus-
| tanning power into life and rob it of
the sting of failure and pain.
1t was Mgr. Thomas first appear
ance in a church in Washington, and
St Patrick's was crowded to over
flowing There were special musical
features. but. in obedience to his
wish. there was no formality to mark
the beginning of his new work. Rev.
James Smyth, assistant rector of St.
Patrick's, accompanied the priest to
the sanctuary and announced his as
sumption of the pastorate.
Is Unaffected and Direct.
Launching at once into his sermon,
Mgr. Thomas proved that he is all
Washington Catholics expected him
to be-simpIe, unaffected, and direct
in statement and thought. He made
a most favorable impression.
The subject of Mgr. Thomas SER
mon was Happiness Resulting From
Possession of Christian Faith"
At the outset of his sermon Mgr.
Thomas expressed his view of Christ
| ian religion thus:
ssSTha of he l. n
bring a new element into the struggle
and toll of human life. a new power
to sustain us, a healing virtue to take
the sting out of our failures and
pains, a glory to cover common things
with new splendOrs, a vital energy to
impart to our enjoyments a new life.
zest. and reality"
Here the rector showed that he
thinks the people sometimes take re-
ligion too seriously, and think it was
meant to handicap their happiness.
ITO so many, religion is too serious
thing, and many more make of 1t quite
a repulsive thing" said Mgr. Thomas.
They so insist upon the severe and
austere that they take away all the
joy of living"
The rector declared faith should
raise the world up to heights OF di-
vine knowledge.
Religion Not Austere.
Now. ENTHUSIASTICALLY the re-
ligion of Christ, is not austere." he
said. .It insists upon the control Of
the rebellious movements OF fallen ma
ture, but it does not intend to destroy
the sweet instincts by the Creator i'm
planted.
THE exact living of the Christian
life, leads us to appreciate and to eN-
perience the communication of Gods
love which flows into the human
heart and to taste of the heavenly
sweetness which is inseparable from
the consciousness of that love.
THE practice OF the Christian spirit
and piety, or revival OF faith In
Christ and God purifies our affections
and fills us with the peace which sur
passeth all understanding.
Through Christ We lose those alb
stract notions about God which did
once chill and terrify mankind. and
we realize that God Is our living, feel
ing, loving and helpful Father. The
joy of Christ gets in US, or over US.
and We radiate. even in the trivial
things of daily life. the happiness He
brought US from above"
