BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 2i.-Heavy

great damage. 1t has rained every day

four inches. Reports from the farming
district are that the fields hay been so
soaked with water that farmers have been
unable TO do any work for several weeks,
and grass is running away with the crops.
Cotton has suffered more than other crops,
while fruit and vegetables are rotting.
All the swamp lands are covered with
water and the streams and rivers are rag
ing torrents. The railroads are beginning
to feel the effects of the continuous rain

cry cellars are flooded, and trade has neen
stagnant for a week past on account of
the inability of people to get out and trans
act business. The various industrial plants
at East Birmingham are almost inundated.
The cool weather which has accompanied
the rainy spell has added TO the damage to
crops and the general discomfort which
the daily downpour has occasioned. II
is feared that If the rains continue numer-
Gus mines will be flooded and a number Of
industries compelled TO shut down.

With the stump and its hollowness there

husbands felt like 30 cents.

man as he is. but laid all stress upon what

are necessary parts of character. The re-

Other religions there have been whose main

qualities of life on which He laid stress
are qualities which belong 10 the eternal
life OF man and that eternal life which is
going on here and now. Mans life is to-

tomorrow reaps what to-day has

for the rain and the sun and the warm air
and the gentle breezes. the mysterious
forming of the grain and the ~ripening of
the fruit. But let him be rightly anxious
for the latter who neglects the former.
What then is the religion for men? Not
church nor creed, nor custom, nor form,
but God who is better than these, God who
is in life, who is life"

What is Good In part he said:
The religion for men is my theme. Yet
II is not a word TO men only 1t is but an
attempt to give a working definition of
religion and TO notice some of the manly
qualities which appeal with force to men.
Religion is not theology. Some are theolo-
CLANS who are not religious. A few sue
coed in happily combining the two. The
great mass OF men are religious with only
the faintest knowledge of theology. and. I
may add. with a profound contempt for 1t
which prevents them from allying them
selves with any institution which has a
theological bias even. Religion is of the
heart: theology of the head. Religion is
the fact; theology the science of the face.
One is necessary. the other accessory.
Religion is vital: theology is accidental TO
that vitality. The world of Jesus day was
profoundly religious: | mean the world He
called into being about Himself. The other
world was theological and was dying from
lack OF vitality.
