 Talladega, July 21.-(Special Corre- spondence)-Before the Il o'clock ser vice this morning there was Sunday school in the various churches and then a song service of half an hour. MT. VII nams presiding at the organ and MT Thornton playing the cornet obligato. The excursion train from Birmingham being little late the interval was en- ployed by Mr. Jones making a talk and a collection was taken to remove the indebtedness of 5000 from the assembly hall. MT. Jones called upon the citizens or Ialladega to support in every way this institution, whose every interest is Tor God, manhood, womanhood, right eousness and humanity.
 The text of the morning discourse was Phil. iii, 10-11, and the sermon has re- ceived many enconiums from the large audience present. He paid first a tribute to the character of Saul of Tarsus, who has scarcely peer in history sacred or profane; who was great in heart, great in mind, with every faculty fully devel- oped and all in full sway.
 The three great questions of the nine teenth century are Who is Christ? Where is Christ? What is Christ? More lives of Christ have been written in the nineteenth century than in all the 1S00 years before Many superficial minds are becoming skeptical. What this world needs more than anything else Is to know more Of the thoughts of Christ. The world will never do right while it thinks wrong My deeds today are the thoughts or yesterday. The highest type of char acter IS that which will do right because it is right, and will not do wrong be-

 gregation in the United States and the editor of most excellent church paper, Rev. T. T. Eaton, D. D., of Louisville, Ky. He preached an excellent sermon from the text in Revelation, xix, 10: "For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy"
 Men are not saved in the mass, but by individuals. The commands in the Bible are not "Ye shall not' and "Ye shall" but Thou shalt not" and Thou shalt" The Christian religion emphasizes per- sonality-our personal relation to God. Jesus Christ is the one great theme of the Bible, from the time the curtain rises above chaos at the command, Let there be light until the scene closes amidst apocalyptic glories. Blessed are-not shall be-the pure in heart, for they shall see God-in nature, in providence, in their lives.
