Dr. Hale's Illustrated Lectures.
 The "Consecration of Ones Means to God" was the subject of the morning ser mon at the Southside Baptist church Sunday morning, at the close of which a generous free will offering was made.
 At night all standing room was early taken. Dr. Hale expressed the feelings with which he visited Those Holy Fields" and quoted from Renan the im- pressions a visit to Palestine had upon that great unbeiiever, making the life of Jesus much more real. So it was hoped going on this "stereopticon journey" which was next to actually being in these sacred places, would make the Bible more real. The journey was then begun, starting from Palmyra, which Solomon built, and coming down as far south as Galilee The immense pictures thrown by Professor Moore upon the canvas by the powerful time light were superb Sunday evening.
 A large number of little boys and girls were present, and none enjoyed better than they the impressive and instructive lessons of the Savior.
 An important church meeting was an- nounced for Wednesday, evening.
 It has been decided to purchase hand- some piano for use in the lecture room.
 Thursday evening Mrs. James Hard man will give a valentine tea, under the auspices of the Ladies' circle.
 Next Sunday morning the sermon will be to Sunday school teachers on Jesus as a Teacher.

 The National Fraternity meets tonight in the Allen building, on Third avenue be- tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, at o'clock. The order is young in Bir- mingham, having been organized only last week, but they have enrolled about sixty members, which is very flatter- ing indication.
 Col. William Youngblood of Montgom- cry has been in the city for two days consulting with William Vaughan, Esq, and other prominent Mckinley men. The Mckinley men seem to be in high glee over the political situation in this state, and have no doubt of defeating Dr. R, A. Mosely with MT. Vaughan. They say, in addition, that they feel absolutely cer- tain of Mckinley's nomination.
