Federal Land Bank, system as part
Of the great banking system Of the
United States.
1t appears that there were many
doubling Thomases among lawyers
and business men at the time the
banks were created, notwithstand-
ing the fact that at that time the
United states Government was the
owner of practically all Of the stock
of the banks.
II appears that lawyer who had
studied the act asked the Secretary
OF the Treasury certain technical
questions as to the meeting of matur-
ing principal payments on Federal
Land Bank bonds in the event OF
failure to pay. Quick as a flash the
secretary asked, your question as
sumes the failure of Federal Land
Rank ?" The lawyer answered
yes" The secretary said, Can you
conceive of the United States Gov
ernment permitting a Federal Re
serve Bank to fail" The lawyer re-
piled. "Why, no." "No more" re-
piled the secretary, "can I conceive
OF the government permitting a Fed
eral Land Bank TO fail"
The time has now passed for the
asking Of questions. as the recent
statement of the Federal Land Banks
show that in a comparatively few
years these banks have become
strong financial institutions with
well-established surplus and reserve
accounts.

NO SYMPATHY In
WILSON, PASTOR SAYS

The Rev George Clark Peck. OF
the Maryland General Hospital. Bal
timore. spoke in Grace NJ r. Church
last night, on why Woodrow Will
son Failed" Dr. Peck in three
words gave the reason: "He lacked
sympathy"
DR.. Peck. in the opening OF his
sermon, said, without intending to
do so. many people spend considerable
time getting away from God. They
do not try 10 do il and in fact. they
do not know they are doing IT,"
He said that many people consider
God as Methodist, an Episcopalian.
or Of any denomination. according 20
the one TO which they belong They
do not consider. he asserted. that
their God is the same God OF the
people down the street. or on the
other side OF town.
Concerning the man who just
left the White House-than whom
no one has had greater hopes and
more disappointments since Jesus
Christ-concerning Woodrow Will
son; It was not that he lacked men
tai power. not that he lacked great
courage, but he has always lacked
sympathy. He does not know the
meaning OF the word. When he had
a question 10 solve he went into his
laboratory and closed the doors
working It out as a mechanical prob.
lem, and leaving the human side out
OF IT,"
