 He will show them specifically what banking is, telling them about its origin and it's purpose in our com mercial scheme. Then, after two or three visits the banker will invite the school children to the bank and per init them to visualize that which has been talked about.

Remorseful Ghost.

A pathetic story is told Of the ghost
of Bisham abbey. It is said that the
wife of Sir Thomas Hobby was I'M
naturally severe with her son. who, ii
seems, had peculiar aversion to writ
ing, and in his obStin9cy would wilful-
ly blot his copyb6o',S. One day his
mother, enraged at his porverseness,
lost her self-control and beat the poor
boy so numerically that he lied from
his injuries. Since then cre of the
bedrooms in the abbey has leen haunt
ed by the specter of The cruel woman,
who glldes through The chamber in the
act of washing the 4.oods;a,ns from
her hands.
1t is stated that some years ago,
when an old window shutter of the six
teenth century was removed, "a packet
of antique copybooks of that period
was discovered pushed into the wall
between the joists of the skirting, and
several of these books, on which young
Hobby's name was written, were COW
cred with blots."' .r 9oe ait -10

LAID BIBLE SCENES IN CHINA
Native Artist Had No Conception Of
Any Other Land Outside Of
His own.

In north Fukien province there dwell
an artist who painted pictures on silk
for the gentry of his little village. The
people in this secluded hamlet nestled
amid the hills, lad never seen automo-
biles or airplanes, nor did they take
the long journey to. Shanghai to watch
the great Steamersscome in laden with
merchandise and messages from the
ports of the world. But they knew the
words of Confucius and Lao-tse and
they lived and died with simple dig
nifty as their fathers had done before
them. One evening the artist, who
had been working all day on me-
mortal portrait, stroIled out into the
dark cool street to refresh his tired
soul, writes Elsie F. We'll in Asia Mag
azine. The tiny white church of the
foreign god beyond the tea shop was
brilliantly lighted. The artist stood
a moment in the open door. The young
missionary was talking most eloquent
ly; he was not preaching but he
seemed to be telling stories that We're
Oo as lIlOcC ICIllOu III ll4C
bazaars. Almost in spite of himself
the artist sank unobtrusively into an
empty seat. For the first time he
heard some of the beautiful old stories
of the Bible, which have held the peo-
pie of the West enthralled for 1000
years. And the artist returned to his
home and made pictures of the story
of Noah and the food, and of the par
ables of the lost sheep and of the prod
igal son and of many others that We're
in the book of the western missionary.
But he had never heard of the Pales-
tine. To him Noah was Chinese, and
the lost sheep belonged to farmer of
his province and the prodigal son
might well have been dissolute youth
of his own village.

Senator McCumber admitted there

face of the opposition of Senator
Thomas.
