Becoming a Christian, Acts 1872
"a; Philippians 3:7-12, for Sunday,
Oct. II:
The first European convert was
woman, shopkeeper, the second
man, q jailer; as Paul proceeded as
a Christian missionary, opposing sin
of every kind, there arose increased
opposition, one instance of which is
recorded in this lesson, he having
cast out the evil spirit of woman
who was being commercialiZed.
V. 22-24 "And the multitude
rose up together against them; and
the magistrates rent off their
clothes, and commanded to beat
them, and when they had laid many
stripes upon them, they cast them
into prison, charging the jailer to
keep them safely" When Chris
tianity interferes with money prof
it's, the profiteers will stoop to any
thing to quiet the Christian mes
sengers.
V. 25. "And at midnight Paul
and Silas prayed, and sang praises
to God; and the prisoners heard
them" One can always pray; the
in their natural expressions of pray
er and praise. They were men of
prayer; too many wait to pray only
in emergency, and nothing hap
pens; there was an unconscious in
f1uence that affected the other pris-
oners who heard them. The power
of influence is greatly underesti-
mated.
V. 26. "And suddenly there was
great earthquake, SO that the
foundations of the prison were shak-
en-; and Immediately all the doors
were opened and everyone's bands
were loosed.' AS a result of effec-
tual praying there was physical
and a spiritual commotion in which
the fact of God could be seen.

Do Away With Double Liability
On State Bank Stock

The nation and statewide move
ment designed to increase the cap
| ital strength of banks and other fl
nancial institutions is being given
| official notice in Ohio with the cur
rent newspaper publications OF legal
notices sponsored by the secretary
of state and the national banks. An
nouncements by the secretary Of
state call attention to the vote to be
taken November 3, to repeal double
| ability provisions on state bank
stock. This proposal, authorized By
| the general assembly, would clear
| the way for more depositor protec-
ton, according to Theodore Fl.
| Tangeman, former Ohio director Of
| commerce. "Since almost 100go Of
| the deposit accounts in Ohio are full
| ly insured, the double liability sys-
| tenn is out of date" he says. State
records also disclose that as of to-
day, double liability means less than
three cents ON the dollar to deposi-
tors" The national bank notices
announce that congress has repeal
ed the double liability on national
bank stock, effective next July l.
Both state and national notices are
required by law.
+! When double liability is removed
from state bank stock in Ohio, the
state banking department will re-
quire banks to build up surplus or
reserve funds equal to their capital.
This pre-collected fund, officials OF
the state banking department point
out, would offer much more effec-
two foo 10 ,oy
double liability. Since repeal Of
double liability on shares of nation
al banks, the same requirement as
to accumulation of surplus is to be
imposed by federal authorities un-
der the national banking act. The
attitude of other states on double
liability is revealed by the fact that
% of them do not now require it,
while several others are in process
of eliminating it, these banking Of
ficials say.
When this question was placed on
the ballot by the legislature, Off
cials of the state banking depart
ment who have had long experience
in examining banks for the public,
cited the following reasons for the
new system:
Almost 1909 of the deposit ac-
counts in Ohio are fully insured.
Substitution of increased capital for
double liability would mean strong
er and more certain depositor pro-
lection in case of trouble. Liquida-
tion delays would be shortened,
meaning earlier deposit payment.
State banks should be on the same
capital basis as national banks for
the sake of a more uniform bank
ing system. Ohio would be joining
% other states in not depending on
double liability for bank strength.
It's adoption now would have no ef-
feet on liability to depositors in fl
nancial institutions which have clos
ed.

Do thyself no harm; for we are all
here" Taking ones life is not only
a rash thing to do, but it is a sin.
Life is Gods gift, and we have no
right to take it away However
hard our lot is, we ought bravely to
bear our burdens till the appointed
time of our change.
V. 29-31. "And he said, Sirs
what must / do to be saved? And
they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved.' To
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
has in it the head element, the in
teileet, the will element and the
heart element. One must know the
way, he must be willing to obey the
truths of that way and so surrender
to God that He may touch the inner
life By His spirit which makes the
heart element. God has provided
the necessary knowledge; He keeps
his hands Off mans will, but when
man chooses to obey, then he per-
forms a work Of grace.
V. 1884 "And they spoke unto
him the word of the Lord, and to
all that were in his house. And he
toof- them the same hour of the
night and washed their stripes; and
was baptized, he and all his,
straightway. And when he had
brought them into his house, he set
meat before them, and rejoiced, be-
lieving in God with all his house. -
Christianity propagates itself when
it is given a chance; acts of benevo-
lence and philanthropy accompany
the Christian life.
v. Z. "But what things were gain
to me, those l counted loss for
Christ" In these verses from
Philippians are found Christian
ideals-in this verse is the ideal of
possession; Paul valued Christ as
worth infinitely more than all world
ly gains.
V. 8. "Yea doubtless, and
count all things but loss for the ex-
cellency of the knowledge of Christ
my Lord" Here is the ideal of
knowledge-the knowledge of Christ
is the only knowledge worth having.
V. 8. ''Not having my own right
eousness, which is of the law, but
that which is through the faith of
Christ, the righteousness which is of
ighteousness; he could have a
whittier soul by faith in Christ, than
by the strictest deeds of the law.
V. 10. "That 1 may know him
and the power of his resurrection,
and the fellowship of his sufferings,
being made conformable unto his
DEATH" Here, is the ideal Of pow
er; no power is equal to that OF
Christ's resurrection. Here also is
the ideal of fellowship; sympathy
with the suffering Christ is the
deepest sympathy. Here is also the
ideal of sacrifice; to be conformed
to Christ's death means self-crucifix-
ion and self-surrender.
v. 11-12. ''If by any means l
might attain unto the resurrection
of the dead. Not as though | had
already attained, either were al
ready perfect; but l follow after, il
that may apprehend that for which
also 1 am apprehended of Christ Je-
sus'' Here is the ideal of perfec-
ton. The flying goal beckons on
ward, but is ever ahead. Reward

following his triumph over Joe

in Griffith Stadium last night
in a torrid bout. Managoff re-

The Russian used his think

touch. Cox had temporarily
turned his back on Managoff,
Referee Cyclone Burns having
separated the pair after fierce
mix-up. That brought defeat,
for Managoff rushed in and
dropped Cox to the mat for an
easy fall.
Hank Barber, former Dart

when he grovelled to a 30

Joe Louis, who will attempt TO-
prove the Schmeling incident was
all a mistake, today entered last
stages Of training for their 10
round bout Tuesday night in
New York, surrounded by q fog
Of expert befuddlement.
Louis today was a 6-to-5 favorite,
but Sharkey continues to conpli-
cate the situation by remaining
entirely rational with scarcely q
sign of his own peculiar brand Of
hysteria, the result being that he
might actually be even money at
the Yankee Stadium ringside.
Lured by the prospect Of seeing
Sharkey at his cool-headed best,
completing what SchmelinS start
ed, or Louis back In stride as the
methodical killer, the customers
will respond to the extend OF
100000 or slightly less. Promoter
Mike Jacobs estimated today.
That will mean a crowd Of
10000 and probably an all-time
time record for fight between
two men who were knocked out
in their last appearances before
the same customers. Sharkey
got his here in 1888 when he
lost the championship to Primo
Camera, and three years later,
almost to the date, Louis en-
countered that unfortunate eX.
perience with Schmeling'S right
hand.
Sharkey has been impressive in
his workouts at Orangeburg,
N. Y, boxing as craftily as
ever and, at 200 pounds, appar-
emily in as good shape as any
