Howard Williams arranged the program and introduced Mr. Tharp. Mr. Tharp endeavoted to outline the functions of a bank in his talk, which had appeal for his audience of laymen. The importance of the bank to a community was brought out, and it was stated that there are 11,000 banks in the U. S. that have state and national charters to accept deposits, create credits, and to function as media of exchange for their respective communities. Interesting was the speaker's statement that the number of banks are decreasing, however more branches are being
“X.
established, and that mergers are taking place in order that the banks may serve industry better by being able to make larger loans, which are limited depending on the amount of capital an i surplus. “The loans a bank makes are its greatest source of income’ said Mr. Tharp. Loans made by banks are named as ensh loans, installment loans, and real estate, agricultural and commodity loans. He commented on the factors considered, namely character, capacity and conditona, and stated that the interest rate fluctuates depending on the money supply adn the risk involved. The gross income on $100 deposited in a bank is $d.5d of which 42 per cent goes for general overhead expense, Simper cent in salaries, 12 1 j per cent for taxes .and 14 per ceri for profit.

“I am not interested in saving souls, only in saving people.” Dr. H. Richard Rasmusson said at a DePauw University worship •hapel yesterday morning. There are no disembodied souls in this world, he continued, and in any approach to religion the whole man must be considered. Pastor of the University Presbyterian Church in West Lafay ette and director of Purdue’s Westminister Foundation, Dr. Rasmusson appeared in Gobin Memorial Chinch. He also noted that the main purpose of religion is to fill life with significance and that whatever man does in life should be lone to the glory of God. We tend to separate the sacred and the secular, the speaker said, but actually all life should be sacramental and every act, however proasaic, an expression of devotion. r According to Dr. Rasmusson, ^'Bible reading and private prayer are no more holy than obtaining signatures on a petition lor a new playground. How can spirituality have any meaning, he asked, if it is divorced from political or social honesty? “There must be a daily even hourly, reference to religion."
