disciples lusted for power, a wrangling
which had not yet ceased. Jesus wait-
ed until they had arrived at Caper-
naum. and ther heat had cooled some-
what before taking any notice of the
dispute. In response to his question-
ing they held their peace, for, after
reflection, they were ashamed of what
had taken place, v. 34. Jesus then pre-
sented to them a concrete example of
what is to be required of all of those
who shall seek to enter into this new
kingdom. That was a more pertinent
question than the one they had just
been discussing. (Luke 18:15-17) tells
that these disciples desired to send

a heavy tax. These notes are expect-
ed to return to the regional banks and
be withdrawn from circulation when
the need of their use passes.
Take Up Bonds.
None of the existing forms of cur-
rency except the national bank notes
will be disturbed by the new law. lhe
United StateB bonds, now used to se-
cure the isBue of .lational bank notes,
are to be taken up at the rate of $25.,-
000,000 a year by the regional re-
serve banks and new treasury notes
or short term three per cent, bonds
will take their place. National bank
currency is expected gradually to re-
tire.
The federal reserve board will eaer-
else final control over the entire op-
eration of the system. It can compel
one regional bank to loan to another
in time of need, can suspend all re-
strictions surrounding the reserves
which regional banks must hold, and
can remove directors of regional re-
serve banks whenever It Is believed
necessary.
Banks In Control.
While the banks retain control of
the boards of the regional reserve
banks, tin ir connection with the fed-
eral reserve board Is only through
an advisory council, made up of one
representative from each federal re-
serve district. This council will meet
in Washington to confer with the fed-
eral reserve board "on general busi-
ness conditions" and to make recom-
mendations and suggestions concern-
ing discount rates, note Issues, and re-
serve conditions.
An Important change in national
banking methods embraced In the ne*
low will permit all national banks ex,
cept those In New York, Chicago ane
St. Louis to make direct loans on fivs

of their capital and surplus, or up to
one third of their tlms deposits.

stances and failed, there is no dis-
grace; he has not lost honor. The
battle is his Pavia. But when we
have been untrue to conscience, there
la no citadel of peace into which to
enter. The misery is with us at bed
and board; there Is no remedy, but
a secret transaction of the heart with
Jesus Christ.
1b there gain out of the loss of fail-
ure? If men are driven from unsound
confidence to true, something has been
won. It need not have been won at
such cost. There is no reason why
our experience generation after gen-
eration should go on verifying with
a dull regularity the lessons of the
past, yet It does. But It is better so
learned than not learned at all.
And out of the recovered life so
much may come. "When thou art
converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Sometimes a proud man can learn
humility no other way than by humil-
iation. Sometimes very strong, ten-
der help can be given to a tempted
life by one who has once fallen him-
self "being tempted," but has now
learned to stand. John Wesley never
knew what evil living was, or swear-
ing or any form of vice, and God
used him to convert some of the low-
est sinners. Samuel Hadley had been
an offender himself, and God used his
bitter experience of the hardness of
the transgressor's way, and his joy-
ous experience of the Christian faith,
to save many who had sunk lower
than he had once done. The disciple
of failure will not teach us that it is
better to fail to gain experience; that
theory belongs to an unsound view
of sin. A man who knows what sin
Is will be Inclined to say with Augus
tine. "O beata culpa;" hut he will
thank God that, "hartng brought him-
self into a region of bitter expert
ence, God can still use his maimed
life, and turn Its shadow of death
into morning."
Striving Never In Vain.
The land of unfulfilled desire is not
a wholly barren country; the life
learns to look beyond Itself. What
troubles multitudes Is not the sense of
disloyalty, but of utility. They feel
they have done nothing, but the strlv
ings of such lives are not In vain. If
a soul's force has been largely used up
up ln maintaining the moral average
and atmosphere so as to make the ex-
cellence possible for another, the life
has not been in vain. God's purpose
In Its greatneas comes to be more
the soul than personal success.
The wonder of the gospel Is that
la the message of new opportunity-
opportunity not ending here. We can-
not remake the past; but God can aet
open the gates of new life to a soul
that through faith rises from past
baffling to "fight better." Once Peter
denied Jesus ; he repented, and Christ
reitored his soul, and gave him back
his glory of Christian manhood by
telling him that the day would come
when he would stand in the hottest
battle, and die, with all his wounds in
front, for him he had once denied. The
question for us Is not whether we have
failed or not ln the past, but whether
our eyes are set toward him who can
give to us "a future and a hope."—

meets a well nigh universal response
in the hearts o( men. The Tact that I
the child was so near at hand is sug- 1
gestive of the attractiveness of Jesus
The disciples were seemingly afraia ]
of him (v. 32). not1 so, however, the
child. For us to receive one who per-
fectly trusts him is to receive Jesua
himself, and to receive Jesus is to re-
ceive the Father, for he came as the
representative of the Father, the full
revelation of God, Col. 2:9. To en-
ter the kingdom is of course prelim-
inary to any question of precedence
in that kingdom. Jesus taught these
disciples that as a little child Is
teachable (Matt. 18:3), so must all be
who are to follow him.
Thus Jesus contrasts the spirit or
humility with that of pride which they
had just shown. The lower we put
ourselves the higher God will exalt us,
Phil. 2:6-11. Jesus rebuked his disci-
ples and taught them that rather than
seek the place of authority and leader-
ship, they ought to take the place or
a child, that they may be taught and
be ruled.
