who are in Africa, but citizens of Amer iea, and keep many customs of their citizenship. Another illustration is in the gulf stream, a part of the ocean and yet distinct from it.
 Believers in Christ, though, in this world are citizens of Heaven. Here they are a great stream passing through the world to Heaven. On this truth hangs all we are considering. Some duties and privileges of citizenship he pointed out as followsS Loyalty to the king, who is Jesus Christ; obedience to the laws of the country; but the foundation of all is holiness.
 In speaking of loyalty he said love to our fellow citizens wherever we find them is a strong proof of loyalty. A great mistake is made when people turn upon each other Heaven is the haven of eternal peace.
 In foreign lands the most pleasant thought is of home, and the nearer home the more joyful the feeling. So of us. Our most pleasant thoughts are of Heaven. The aged are to be congratu- lated on being in sight of that building not made with hands," where loved ones wait their coming.
 His closing words were: ''Do you look forward to meeting loved ones there? Dear sister and brother, let us be loyal to our king and obedient to Him."

First Presbyterian Church.


 The usually large audience was pres ent at the First Presbyterian church and the pastor, Rev. A. B. Curry, delivered a masterly sermon. He read for the morn ing lesson the third chapter of Philip plans. For his text he took the twentieth verse: For our conversation is in Heaven"
 fl The word conversation, he said, occurs rmany times in the Bible, especially in the epistles of Paul. He defined the Aword conversation as having two mean ings as follows: First, when Paul says .etYe have heard of my conversation" it means conduct.
 Again, it means citizenship, as in the text. "Our conversation is in Heaven" To the latter thought he called special attention. The great truth is. believers in Christ have their citizenship in Heaven. Heaven is regarded as a far distant place, and as a condition, far in other truth is, it is near in place and con- dition.
 Paul says: Our citizenship is in Heaven" while when John the Baptist and Jesus came preaching it was of a kingdom here and now. Jesus tells us that the Pharisees shut the door and neither entered or allowed others.
 In some senses the kingdom of Heaven is here This kingdom has it's king. laws and subjects, and is distinct from the world round about.
 .'Ye are in the world, but ye are not of the world" Let no one think this is mystery, he said, as we have the Jewish nation among every people and yet it is wholly distinct from them. We have an- other illustration in the missionaries

First Methodist Church.

t1fSb MeJnOQlSJ Chufcn.
 A series of meetings opened at the First Methodist church yesterday morning, and will continue during the present week and probably longer. So far the congre- gations have appeared very much in terested and the indications are that great good will be accomplished. These meetings are being conducted by Drs. Morris and Leftwich, and the two ser mons yesterday warmed up the people considerably. Both morning and evening large congregations were present to lis ten to the sermons of Gods workers.
 At night Dr. Leftwich preached from the tenth verse of the second chapter of the general epistle of James: "For who soever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
 His sermon was intended to appeal more to the understanding of men than to their hearts, and his analysis was concise, his conclusions plain and dis tinct in every particular.
 His analysis was as follows:
 1. All obligations arise from existing relationship.
 2. The obligation cannot be removed until the relation is destroyed.
 3. The obligation unkept forfeits all that is intended by the relation itself.
 He discussed the first division, and concluded that man's relationship to God created the obligation itself and that therefore it was the bounden duty of man to carry out his obligation by serving God and keeping his command ments.
 On the second division he took man and wife as an example, and said that the obligation could not be removed until the relationship was broken, either by divorce or death, and he questioned the former very much. God, he said, was the creator and man the created, and hence the | relationship which brought the moral obligation. When man meets the obligation he meets all that was intended.
 He said the text was the final state ment of moral obligation.
 His sermon unto the end was logical and interesting, it having great weight and increasing the manifestations of in- terest in the meeting.
 Services for the present tweek will be held at 10 o'clock in the morning and 8 o'clock in the evening.
 Every man and woman interested is earnestly requested to attend as often as possible.

OPINIONS OF THE PUBLIC.
Kind Words forthe Age-HeraId's Easter Souvenir
 by Press and Public.

Piedmont lnquirer: Last Sundays Age-Herald contained thirty-six pages of clear, clean type, and was one of the neatest and prettiest papers ever issued south. It was a credit to the whole state and big feather in Birmingham's cap. We wish it the success it so richly merits.
 Alexander City Outlook: The Birming- ham Age-Herald of last Sunday celebra- ted Easter with a thirty-siX page edition. It's features were palpably up to date, and it's new dress was attractive and appropriate as an Easter effect Indeed the Age-Herald was marvel of journal ism, and Birming ham and Alabama feel proud of 1t.
 Bessemer Journal: The Easter edition of the Birmingham Age-Herald last Sun day was magnificent one and fully jus tified the expectation of those who were expecting to see an up-to-date, metropol- itan newspaper. With it's new type setting machines, splendid telegraphic service, good local staff, sound editorial talent and energetic and pushing busi- ness management, the Age-Herald will soon be in the front rank of modern Journalism.
 Southern Democrat, B1ountsville: The Easter number of the Birmingham Age Herald was indeed a "big thing" It contained thirty-two pages and supple fnent, two pages of which were printed in beautiful colors and the others very artistically represented the intelligent staff of the Age-Herald. The Age-Herald under it's management promises to be one of the leading dailies of the south. May 1t ever be found working for the upbuilding of Alabama and the advance ment of the democratic party.
 Florence Herald: The Age-Herald Easter edition was an elaborate and handsome souvenir reflecting credit on the present management and the able corps of writers. The beautiful cover was happily conceived by Capt. Frank P. O'Brien, the present owner and pro- prietor, who has seen the paper rise Phenix like from it's ashes. The paper has been thoroughly reorganized and modern methods have been adopted in publishing the paper In adopting the Mergenthaler type-setting machines a big step forward was taken and the Age Herald today will compare in equipment with the best papers in the country The Age-Herald now reflects it's old time life and enterprise when it was easily the most wide-awake and progressive paper in the south. The people of Alabama will gladly welcome it back to it's former place in the front ranks of Alabama Journalism. A pleasant feature of the Easter number was a story from each member of the staff.

St. Marys-on the Highlands.


 few of the decorations of Easter Sun day yet remained on the altar, as the sound of music fingers after the music has ceased. The choir was reinforced by Mrs H. L. Underwood. A number of strangers were in hecongregation.
 The rector, Rev. o. P. Fitzsimons, an- nounced that Bishop Jackson would preach in St. Marys on the morning of the 18th of May, and in the Church of the Advent that night The confirmation of the class of St. Mary's would take place at 7:30 o'clock, after early commun- ion. The rector said this change of time was no innovation, but was according to the early teaching of the church. Nico- demus came to Christ at night to learn the true way.
 The subject of the sermon was "The Judgment" The rector said there were three great events in Christianity-the resurrection, the judgment and the sec ond coming of Christ. A very erroneous impression prevails in regard to the judg- ment. It is usually pictured as an as- semblage of all the people that were ever born, and they are painted as surround ing God, who sits upon His throne. In the picture Gabriel is snown in the fore ground blowing his trumpet This grand scenic effect has formed the theme for a great deal of pulpit word painting. A New York preacher actually initiated in the pulpit the blowing of Gabriel's horn. The rector then read several passages of scripture upon which was founded this erroneous impression and explained their true meaning. He said there was no set day for the judgment, that it was going on all the time The judgment was within, not without Gladstone had said the atonement was a guarantee, not a substitution.
 The rector advised his congregation to read an article in the April Forum on a subject of interest to all Episcopalians
 Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
 Both morning and evening services were well attended at the Cumberland Presbyterian church yesterday, and >the pastor, Rev. R. D. Wear, preached two able and impressive sermons.
 The subject of the evening service was: ''The Voice of God" The preacher said, God speaks today the same as he spoke to His disciples in the olden times, the same as He spoke to David. He said God speaks to us through our con sciences, and tells us when we are doing that which is wrong.
 The services that have been in prog ress at this church the past two or three weeks have resulted in much good for the cause of Christianity in Birmingham, and quite a number of new members have been added to the church roll.

On April 26, 1924, Andrew Jack
SON wrote from Washington to DR..
Colman as follows:
Heaven smiled upon and gave
us liberty and Independence,
That same Providence has blessed
US with the means Of national de-
fence. If we omit or refuse to use
the gifts which have been extend
ed to US, we deserve not the con-
tinuation of His blessing. He has
filled our mountains and our
plains with minerals, with lead,
iron and copper, and given US a
climate and soil for the growing
of hemp and wool. These being
the great materials of our national
defence, they ought to have ex-
tended to them adequate and fair
protection, that our manufacturers
and laborers may be placed in a
fair competition with those of Eu-
rope, and that we may have with
in our country supply Of those
leading and important articles so
essential in war. / will ask what
is the real situation Of the argri-
culturists? Where has the Ameri-
can farmer a market for his sur
plus products? Except for cotton
he has neither foreign nor home
market. Does not this clearly
prove, when there is no market at
home nor abroad, that there is too
much labor employed in agricul-
ture? Common sense at once
points out the remedy. Take from
agriculture in the United States
100000 men, women and children,
and you will at once give a market
for more breadstuffs than all Eu-
rope now furnishes US. In short,
sir, we have too long been subject
to the policy Of the British mer-
chants. 1t is time we should be.
come a little more Americanized.'
