startling fact that in the past year there
have been nearly 1000 banking CONSOLE
dations in this country. This has led
to a situation where l per cent of
American banks control approximately
rs per cent of the Nations commercial
deposits, with 10 banks alone having
combined resources of $4,000, 000, 900.
His view of this situation was that con-
solicitations presumably represent the
response Of the banking business to
economic forces that require a greater
economy in operation, greater use OF the
limited number of thoroughly capable
banking executives Qualified to meet to-
days intricate and gigantic financial
problems, and larger reservoirs OF CAPT.
tai to undertake the greater financial
burdens Of this new business epoch.
The president of the association did
not pass by, however, the merits IN the
banking system that have grown up IN
generations conspicuous for individual
ism in American industry, as we'll as IN
banking. He described the initiative
and the pioneer qualities under which

NEW YORK. october 2.-The two
outstanding speeches at the convention
of the American Bankers Association,
in San Francisco, are those of the
president of The organization, Craig B.
HazleWood, which was delivered yes

troller of the currency, presented to-
day.
interest in what they say to the dele
gates centers mainly in their attitudes
on branch banking, which now over
shadows all other questions in the
banking world.
Mr.. Pole is an out-and-out advocate
of change in the Federal banking
laws which will permit national bank
to maintain and develop branches no
only in their own locality, but outsid
of it. He advanced this doctrine {:

obviously as president of the asso
citation, Mr.. Lakewood could not, &
he said, debate the merits or demerit
of the trend in the banking system
which has resulted "in a startling in
crease toward bank holding companies
chain, group and branch banking
That he sympathized with the occasion
for this was apparent in the emphasis
he placed on the change Of economic
conditions in the country and in the
measures of self-preservation by the
banks and for avoiding reoccurrence
of the failure of banks that have taken
place in the past 10 years.

The Cathedral, .Strasburg.

this was renewed by his successors UP
to the time of Benedict XII.
The most conspicuous part of the
cathedral is, of course, the lone spire
which rises to q height of 440 feet, and
from which one can see three mountain
ranges; the group of the German Black
Forest to the north; the Vosges to the
west; and the Alps to the south. It is
tiara of stone crowned with cross,
prodigious, gigantic, but Of great deli
cacy. In it have reposed some Of the
great clocks of the middle ages, the first
one having been installed in the thir-
tenth century, to be succeeded by a
greater one in 1874. This in turn gave
place to the third, which has been
hanging in the belfry since 1912.
Usually church ediflces are grim
and gray; but Strasburg presents, in its
sandstone of the Vosges, a beautiful
tone, which in the westering sun of a
Summers day can only be described as
rose-pink, and is like no other church
edif1ce in Europe.
In the vaulted chamber attached to
the cathedral proper are two mummies,
which for their better preservation have
been vanished. One IS the mummy of
the Count of Observation-Disclosures, who
died in the sixteenth century; the other
is that of girl, perhaps 20 years of age,
supposed to have been his daughter.

DISCUSSED BY

Human Judgments" deals with this as
pect of the ultimate tribunal.
@. Why don't the churches get to-
gether and have q house cleaning
eliminate fanaticism. hypocrisy, super
stition. bigotry, politics, stop their ever
lasting wrangling over dogmas and
creeds, follow the simple teachings of
Christ and the golden rule and give
the average citizen a common sense
religion? have in mind not only Prot
estants, but Catholics. There is no
reason why these two great groups
should not come together. If the
churches only could see their chance, q
wonderful opportunity awaits them.
Why can't this be done?
A. Because human nature stands in
the way. It's diversities have not yet
had the full swing Of their orbit and
until they do we shall be wise to
avoid forced unihcation, which, when
scrutinized, is contradiction in terms.
Oneness is a growth and its integra-
lions are tantalizingly slow.
Not only Christians, but members of
all world religions, generate differences
and shape them into separations. New
Testament believers were no sooner in
the church than they began to de-
CldIe: all Oh OepNdS, OF i an Oh
Paul" The disposition to claim divine
authority and the monopoly of its
Righteousness prevails extensively among
countless sectS in all organized faiths.
What of this? Certainly 1t does not
justify counsels of despair. On reflec-
ton we perceive that such q mixup
cannot be permanent. It Is reasonable
to believe that the chaos you deplore
is but the theater for a greater unity
to be forged out of those very differ
ences and harmony involved in and
arising out of our present discords
Nature furnishes striking parable
of the process. She heaps her bounti-
full provisions on the now solidified
strata which were formerly waves Of
volcanic lava. She turns glaciers into
frlctifying rivers and makes the Desc
lation Of one con the prosperity Of the
next.
The Creators infinite patience Is in
dicative of His eternal wisdom. The
resistless urge of His methods recog-
nizes no hasty invention Of man. He
must toe the line and advance accord
ing to the progress of the whole move
rnent of life. Wait patiently on a very
patient God and be thankful that He
will not pluck the fruit before It is ripe,
nor join with untempered mortar the
edifice of a new religious unity the
foundation stones for which are not yet
sufficiently shaped for that great OBJ
jective.
Since He wills humanity's consolida-
ton, what shall withstand that viii?
In this Is my hope, which I would fam
transmit to you because sympathize
with your aspirations. Don't press for
a common sense religion" 1t would
be of no service for mans extraordinary
demands. What he needs is q revolu-
tionary religion. If you or or the Ma
ton to which we belong steadfastly ap-
ply Christ's teachings, there is enough
moral dynamite In them to blow up two
thirds of our boasted civilization, war
and its entire apparatus being the first
to CO. Blessed are they who are not
offended In Him and who live so as to
hasten the fellowship Of the Spirit In
the bond Of peace.
