ALL THE HANDSOME CHURCHES
OF AUSTIN CROWDED YES
TERDAY MORNING.
ELOQUENT SERMONS BY THE DIVINES
The Rev. DR.. Lees Sermon at st. David S
Church-Dr. SmoOt at the Southern
Presbyterian Church-The Other
Church Services.

Yesterday was bright, beautiful day
in the capital city and when the hour for
divine service rolled around it found all
the handsome edifces crowded to their
uttermost capacity. AS early as o'clock
the streets became active by the constant
" changing crowd of morning promena-
ders and Sunday school children. An
hour or so later the ladies were out en-
masse, going to the various places of wor-
ship, accompanied in many instances by
husbands and brothers and in some cases
by the Nineteenth century beau. The
various church choirs had apparently
made extra preparations for the day and
the result was some very fine singing at
all the churches.

THE UNITARIAN SERVICES.

TN UNllAhlAN SbRN lCES.
A large crowd was present at the Uni
tartan church yesterday morning to hear
a sermon on 'The Religious Sentiment"
by the Rev. e. NJ. Wheelock The
speaker introduced his remarks by say
ing:
The idea of religion in some form is
universal. 1t belongs to all mankind.
The temples and priesthoods, the hymns
of praise and litanies of worship, the
VOWS and prayers, the sacred books and
oracles reveal the immense efforts by
which men strive to link their mortal
relations to the throne of the Supreme.
This sublime breath of the soul has in
spired the great psalms, the noble Re
Deums," and jubilant chants of the uni
versal church. 1t has builded the organ
and fashioned its tuneful pipes. 1t has
crystalized itself in faiths which are but
the penitent tears of the sensitive heart
of man.
Eternal and fresh, the religious senti-
ment is always growing beliefs and ri
uuals, Bibles and churches. Its forms
are various, its essence is one. Its voices
may change or be silent, but it's spirit is
never dumb. When thought constructs
truth, and art embodies beauty, and
science interprets natural law, the in
stinct of the soul to worship awakens,
and the knees bend before the nearness
of the Infinite; there is not even the thick
ness of an amen between that Infinite
and our worshiping souls. The senti-
ment of religion is thus the totally of
the human spirit, and no sect has door
wide enough to let it all in.
The growth of this sentiment began as
soon as man could stand up and look
about him. He was at first infested with
all the wild moods of the animals. He
feared and shuddered before the mystery
of religion. He gashed his face, whipped
his body and sacrificed the dearest things
he possessed to prOpitiate the favor of
heaven. He elaborated scheme of
atonement out of the habit of the savage
to conciliate dreaded power with some
present. He fastened the huge men of
morbid piety to his imperfectly devel-
oped intellect. The old barbarian man
has invented broadcloth and now looks
sleek and civilized, but underneath his
snowy linen you still find the tatoong of
the early tribes who dreaded and coaxed
what they could not understand. The re-
vival and camp meeting is the descend
ant of the early forest bowls and dances,
and still worshipers gather in cathedrals

to eat the god which priest makes cut

to eat the god which priest makes cut
of wafer.
When the belated traveller among the
Hartz mountains sees, at the rising of
the sun, the spectre of the Broken ap
pear to him in the dawning light, he sees
only the projection of an enormous shad,
ow of himself upon the cloud screen. Sc
it is with the eXaggerations made by re
morse, terror and superstition when
thrown upon the cloudy screen of the
religious sentiment. We see our own
emotions swollen into gigantic forms,
and tremble before our own shadow Ii
is the business of true reliDion to dissi-
pate this fog of the mind, with its gigan-
tic spectres of unreal and baseless ter.
ror, that clear and lucid day may stand
in the soul of every man.

To Out-of-Town Patients:

Since the establishment of the South ern Medical Dispensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was the first medical institute in Birmingham the files of the city papers will show-our success has been so pronounced as to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled "old reliable specialists" to inn itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious pretensions end heroic self-praise make capital for themselves by their questionable methods. We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do- zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in- terests and safety by first making an investigation of the home character of the man that they would have treat them.
 If you are a member of any church, or if you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of H., K. of F., or belong to any order or organization then write to some leader, officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, social and financial standing. After doing this, write to us plain state- ment of your case and inclose a stamp for reply. we VIII give you then our opinion, terms for treatment, etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. It will cost you nothing more than a stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.
 We will send in plain sealed envel- ope our "Book for Men" and Question List for Pc stamp; Question List for Ladies for .2c stamp.
 All correspondence will be consid- cred confidential and be kept sacredly inviolate.
 As a pointer, please read this from recent issue of the Age Herald:
