 Birmingham has within her borders this Sabbath morning one of the greatest preachers of this or any other country Judged by the results of his labors, few preachers in any age can be compared with him. In this country and in Europe, among the learned and unlearned, he has aroused the profoundest interest in reli- zion, pure and simple. Like St. Paul, than whom sacred and profane history bear record of no grander human character, he
 
 the Savior of mankind. And like this apostle of old-who had embraced all the advantages that the cultivation of Greece and Rome afforded, yet h simplest words told of the great truths of Christianity Mir. Moody breaches Christ ana linn hearts and souls. He is an evangelist in the broadest aud best sense of that much- abused word, but even the most fastidious have not found just reason to complain of his methods. He has held to ''the faith delivered to the saints'' without being af- fected with the perp icious latter day doctrines which make expla- nations of the fundamental prin- cipies of Christianity necessary. He has taught the Bible as accepted by the saints of the centuries, and has not found It nec- essary to excuse or explain it's 'peculiari- ties.D He has offered to poor, sin sick, fever parched men and women the 'water of life'' without using the microscope of modern investigation to prove that 1t IS full of the germs and microbes of superstition and ignorance. He has held to the thirsty, burning lips of humanity this water of life and they have drank deep and long, and have gone forth into the heat and burden of the day refreshed and strengthened. He has preached the gospel in it's beautiful sim- plicity as did St. Paul, Martin Luther, John Wesley, Bascom, Spurgeon, Bishop England, Beecher and hundreds of other eloquent men in the days gone by and as very many. true, brave men still do in our own time. The coming of MT. Moody marks an era in our history and will give to our people the highest religious privi- leges. It is to be hoped that every young man in Birmingham will hear him, and from him will learn this profound truth, namely, that the greatest minds and the grandest souls have the simplest, most child-like faith.

 The Literary circle was entertained on Friday afternoon by Mrs. John F. Tillman. Since the previous meeting of the circle one of it's much beloved members, Mrs. George S.. Brown, had been called to an- other and higher life, and the entire cir cle, as individuals and as body, felt the keenness of this awful sorrow. Had Mrs. Brown lived she would have read paper at last Fridays meeting. But, alasl alasl A committee was appointed to prepare res olutions upon her untimely going. The Friday Literary circle will henceforth be known as the Cadmean Literary circle. At various times a discussion of a change of name has taken place, and at previous meeting it was deter mined to take action in this matter. The committee appointed to select suitable names for the consideration of-the ladies reported on last Friday afternoon, and from several names suggested the ladies de- cided upon the Cadmean Literary circle as their name in future. The word Cadmean is derived from the word Cadmus, to whom is ascribed the introduction into Greece of an alphabet of sixteen letters de- rived from Egypt or Phpnicia. As this literary circle was the first one of it's kind in Birmingham, this being it's seventh year, ir was considered by the majority of the members an appropriate and suitable
