A cry of fear, addressed to the

—not as much faith as we should
have, yet real faith,

of the Lord walking en the sea, and
that He enabled even ;Peter to do this,

hearts that are open to God. But they •

Countless :miracles Were Wrought
by Christ during His earthly ministry

of that place "sent out.1nto all that
country round about, and brought un-

But one of the greatest cxpreeeions
of faith during His early lifetime was
Haat of the Svrophenician woman, up

was not an Israelite;' brit ."a woman

Seed should be'>sown now of lob-
elia, snapdragon, dahlia, salvia pot;

this has not'already been done. Where
eerly ,cat flowers' arc .desired, Galen,
dula, coreopsis, and candytuft nxp
also be started indoors. If a green'-
house is not>avaiiable, a sunny wsfa
dow Will serve the purpose very welt:.
Gooch seed costs a little marc than
that of inferior quality, but when good,
plants are desired they can be grown
only froth the best seed.
Sow the seeds in a light sandy cons
pot. Thin sowing is "preferred, as
this gives all seedlings a chance: to:
develop into good sturdy plants. Fine
seeds such as petunia, lobelia. antic

Th • •glass should be removed as soon.

"Even in
Banking Service
there is a difference
Every business house —and cer-
tainly banks come under this
heading -- has its own viewpoint
on what constitutes service. And
nearly always you will find the
viewpoint visibly reflected in this
working atmosphere of the estab-
lishment.
As you talk with the managers . of
this Bank, with the •tellers, or with
others who take a visible part in
giving service, you. will very quickly
perceive that strict attention to a
great volume of business is tem-
pered by a spirit of real friendli-
ness and cool tesy.
Your own " banking needs may be
personal or coanmercial ---local,
national or international. In any
case, at the branches of this Bank,
you are sure of service that is
accurate, speedy and cordial—
well rounded out in every respect
