Throughout this morning and last evening friends and close as .oeiates of Mir. Gilpstrie have been searching for motive for hss si- tempted suicide. Naturally when it was learned that the federal bank examiners were at the time of the tragedy making an investi- gation of the books of the bank, the first thought was that Mir. Cii- patrie might possibly be involved in some matter of the banks con dition which might not have been found satisfactory to the exarnin- CTS. Happily. following a meeting of the directors of the bank which wa. held early this morning, while the investigation of the banks books was not yet complete. up until the time The Patriot went to press nothing had been found out of order. This announcement brought the sre.sest relief to the entire community.
 Directors Meet
 The full directorate ot the bar va, present at this mornings met ing. Immediately after the mee ing had adjourned 1t was announ. ed that the condition of the ban was excellent, that there was reason for panic or alarm and tha whatever the demands made upor the bank 1t would be able to meet them. To the regret of many this was not made in a formal state ment by tke bank directors.
 Business as Usual
 As a matter of fact there was no trouble whatever at the bank this morning. The doors opened at nine o'clock promptly with husi. ness going on as usual. Bank Com missioner John B. Byrne who ar rived from Hartford during the night was a visitor to the bank sew. eral times during the morning. Meanwhile the closest examination of the banks books by the federal examiners continued throughout the day.
 shortly after the bank opened ihi. morning. there arrived by au. tomobiIe from the Federal Reserve Bank at Boston, three bags of money, sggrcgsting thousands of dollars.
 Reserve From Boston
 The money arrived here in the automobile of William Dumas ana was in charge of Captain of Police Jarvis. Special Police Officers Louis Beausoleil and Howard Steere and an officer representing the Federal Reserve Bank. The Putnam party left here at o'clock this morn ing to get the money.
 This was concrete evidence of the preeaution taken by the off eers of the bank against any emer- geney that might arise. It is stat ed that should there be need of additional cash, on E moments notice. other banks have signihcd their readiness to supply all that is needed.

Judges proved their faith by their
battle for the Lord and His people.
David exhibited it in providing for the
Of the temple
There was an advance in the faith
that the slaves had when they left
Egypt in response to the demonstra-
ton OF the Liberator's power. They
recognized the leadership of Jehovah
at the Red Sea, but needed the dis
cipfipe OF Sinai and education to at
tempt the winning of Palestine. There
peoples views OF Jehovah, when they
received the law and the religious and
civil institutions were set up by the
lawgivcr. The ethical and religious
ideals were hard to grasp, so Israel's
appreciation was slow. 1t required the
training of the wilderness wander
ings for them to appropriate the land
which God had promised them when
they entered the Holy Land. Expe-
rtence and events were needed by
them, as by us, to understand God S
providences and purposes
The spiritual conceptions of Israel
were crude when they entered the
Promised Land, but they were far in
advance of those that they held when
leaving Egypt They had to fight for
their faith the same sordid foes that
ensnare US. They learned the mission
of faith and service in doing the
small things of life. The performance
of the little deeds fit men for doing
the great things. Samuel was an ap-
prentice lad, Joseph was servant in
prison and Saul was following the
plow when called to service. Jehovah
summoned Moses and David from
tending sheep to freeing the people
and leading them.
Every one called of God render ed
his part of the service toward the ad :
vancement of Israel and the worshi ip
of Jehovah. Some OF the results of
their labors remain as the permanent
possession Of all time. The rights of
the individual was recognized. Prop
erty rights were guarded. Civil au-
thority was established. The first
house of religious worship for God S
glory was erected and opened. The
first hymn book was collected. The
nation that was unified under Saul.
organized under David, failed under
influences of the glory
OF solomon. who forgot that his first
duty called for him to honor Jehovah
and serve his fellowmen
The study of the history of the He
mon mar Gods plan, He works out
His program and plans to redeem the
world, even when those who have en-
joyed His favor fail to do His will.
One of the lessons, IL not the out
standing one for us, Is that the long
period of Hebrew history proves that
God always rewards a life of faith
and obedience and always Furnishes
disobedience. Let us follow Him in the
great adventure of faith by life Of
obedient service.
