our bank were not only met,
but were exceeded beyond
our expectations’’, Stanley
reported. “Our loan demand
during the year remained
strong and our adequate
liquidity position enabled us
to continue to meet our
customers credit demands.
In addition, our bank’s
earnings were the highest in
history”, he added.
In his report to
shareholders, Stanley
reported that income before

share results were $3.74
compared to $3.45 reported
last year. Net income after
securities transactions rose
to $2,485,938 per share in
1975 compared to last year’s
figure of $2,235,704 or
$3.38 per share, an in
crease of 11.2 per cent.
According to Stanley,
“Our 1974 profits were the
highest in the history of the
bank, and the 11.2 per cent
increase in profits
experienced by our bank in
1975 is particularly
significant and is a direct
rejection on the continuing
efforts of our employees to
profitably manage our
resources.”
Stanley also reported that
deposits at year-end
reached $223,374,308
compared to 1974’s total of
$205,314,723, an 8.8 per cent

resources at year-end were
$254,245,039, compared to
$236,127,747 in 1974, an
increase of 7.7 per cent.
Additionally, the Board of
Directors increased the
dividends paid during 1975
by 8.5 per cent. Total
dividends paid per share in
1975 were $1.02 compared to

31-1-8 Do you gain any real comfort from that old cliche about dark clouds having
Friday silver linings? Who can peel a cloud to find its happy lining?
But frustration has been a blessing to many men. It has driven self-centered
souls to seek a new fulcrum for life. It has brought men to God ... acknowledging
Saturday human failure . . . seekingdivine strength.
Psalms
28:1-9 And as they have found in the Church comfort and courage they have learned
, anew the spiritual meaning of defeat and victory.
The One that this world crucified is King of kings. Beyond a cross and a crown
of thorns our greatest aspirations await us.

SUNDAY SCHOOL USSON
THE TOTAL COMMITMENT OF JESUS
International Sunday School Lesson for March 7, 1976
Scripture: Matthew 19:23-30; Matthew 19:1-2; 20:17-28
By Mrs. Jesse Waller
In answering the disciples questions, Jesus speaks to us
in the here and now. How important it is that, as we study
the scripture, we stop and hear what He has to say to us.
We live in such a competitive atmosphere, and often take
the attitude that we must take care of ourselves, for no one
else will fulfill our needs. Our “needs” seem to snowball,
as our neighbors lawn looks greener, and they buy a boat,
new car, or what have you. Commercial advertizing has
caught on quickly, and picks up the song. If we are not us
ing the right mouthwash or toothpaste, we will never get
ahead! This is called pride of life, and in a subtle way,
takes our eyes off of the total sacrifice Jesus made for us.
Jesus taught us that we don’t live for what we can accu
mulate, but for the sole purpose of giving ourselves in serv
ice to others. When He set His face toward Jerusalem, He
told His disciples what He must suffer, in giving His life.
They were too blinded by their own positions and worth, to
see His sacrifice, and to understand its far reaching bene
fits to all.
This lesson in Matthew helps us examine our own motives
in life, and to look at them in the light of Jesus’complete
commitment.
The secret of total giving of self is love. Jesus loved the
individuals and crowds who came to Him for help. He real
ized that the crowd was fickle, and that His popularity was
ironic at this point. The people were attracted ly His mir
acles and the things He could do to help them. Inspite of
his knowledge about them. He loved them, and served them
to the end. Even on the cross, He promised paradise with
Him, to a thief.
Even en route to Jerusalem, Jesus again tells His dis
ciples of the impending trial and crucifixion. In His patient
explanation, for the third time. He used His total physical,
emotional and mental agony. This was to be the terrible
debt which canceled our sins. He didn’t leave His disciples
in despair, because He foretold His resurrection on the
third day.
The disciples were a closely knit group, and when they
heard that the mother of James and John had the re
quest that one sit on the left of Him, aid the other on the
right, they were indignant They had missed the whole meal
ing of greatness. Jesus answer was simple. Be a servant,
was His simple answer, if you want to be great. See how
many you can serve. He didn’t mean we have to be a door
mat for society, and be walked on, but we must pot the wel
fare of others ahead of our own ambitions. I have known
mny who understood this principle of Jesus, aid have
given up high positions end salaries to go and serve where
they were most needed.
Prayer: Deer Lord, help us to make the necessary changes
in our lives which will make us more useful in your king
dom. Amen.
