TALKS TO TWO HUNDRED
SWEET GIRL GRADUATES

Nearly two hundred girls in white were
seated In the center of the auditorium of
the First Baptist church yesterday
morning when the Rev. A. c. Dickin-
son preached the annual commencement
sermon of the Birmingham Seminary.
DIR. Dickinson preached on "Our Lord s
Perspective of Life" his text being taken
from Luke 1851. And 1t came to pass
when the days were being fulfilled that
he should be received up, he steadfastly
set his face to go to Jerusalem"
portion of the sermon is as follows:
What a teacher of life was Jesus, both
In his words and his example. A well
rounded, well proportioned life he lived,
leading from the manger by the cross
to the crown. How each event of his mo-
mentous life led up to and fitted into the
next 80 that his career was one contin-
uous progress, flowing on in ever In
creasing stream like a majestic river
This is due to the fact that he ever held
a true perspective of life.
HE looked down the corridors of his
days with a correct view of life, seeing
the vista of coming glory. Paurs life
was much like It, He too had an ever In
creasing progress to the crown, press

THE REV. J. D. STEELE BREACHES
STRONG SERMON ON MEMS OBJ
LEGATIONS TO GOVERNMENT
AND TO GOD.

The members of the local posts of the
Grand Army of the Republic attended a
special service at the Cumberland Pres
byterian church yesterday morning. The
Rev. DIR. ]. d. Steele preached a strong
sermon on the obligations to the Gov
eminent and to God"
The sermon was based upon a text from
Matthew 22-20-H. Render therefore I'M
to Caesar the things which are Caesars
and unto God the things that are Gods. -
Or. Steele said in part: These are the
words of Christ in answer to some trick
questions put to him by his enemies,
What We want to study Is the nature of
the two-fold duties which rests on all
citizens. We owe sometlk 10 the gov
eminent, and something TO God. Caesar
was and Is term which represents the
government and its institutions. There Is
no such thing as perfect freedom to do
as you please, and go where you please
and say what you please Certain obli-
cations, limitations and restraints are
on all members of commonwealth. If
you lived in land all to yourself, all
limitations, restraints and obligations.
But we have 1t so every mans interest
touches every other mans interest.
There are rights due your neighbor. his
interest is to be considered as well as
yours. Law steps IN and states some
things which we shall do and what we
shall not do. This applies to the civil
government, to the social and commercial
world. You are a factor in the commun-
ity, in the town, in the state. in the ma
ton. What you do and those of your
kind will give color and cast to the
whole commonwealth so far as your In
fuence goes.
"A citizen owes something more to his
government than to answer the war call
when 1t Is made. 1t Is a sin for him to
give hts nation a worthless life; he
should render the best possible life. and

FREE SELLING FOR
THE LAST QUARTER
IRON MARKET ACTIVE AT AN
ADVANCE w 1T n OUTLOOK
BRIGHT FOR 1eo3-INQUiRiES
FOR NEXT YEAR.

The iron market was firm last week
at ST. to $3.50 on No. foundry basis for
early delivery and SIG for delivery in the
last quarter of the year. Selling for the
last quarter is quite active. Early in the
year the Tennessee Coal. Iron & Rail-
road Company and the Republic Iron &
Steel Company sold about all they will
make in 1902 on $12 basis, but the Sloss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, the
Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron
Company and some of the other COM
panies of the district only began recent
ly to sell freely for October. November
and December and are therefore getting
the benefit of the advance.
There has been little or no selling for
1903 but inquiries are numerous and a
few sales will probably be reported this
week. One company was asked for quo
tations for February and March delivery.
Reply went by mail that $3.50 would
buy No. foundry. An offer of SIG came
back by wire and was declined. The
sales agent of that company believes
that iron is as likely to bring ST. or SIS
next year as it is to bring SIG
AS to when active booking for 1903 will
begin no one seems prepared. to say,
from the present outlook buyers are not
counting on a lower market.

Ing on to the goal, unto the prize of the
high calling of God In Christ Jesus that
he might obtain resurrection from the
dead
so 1t Is with all great men. They
have their perspective of life, this view
OF life unto a final goal or crown, and
to II every thing Is made to bend"
DR.. Dickinson called attention TO the
fact that Christ knew he was to die but
nevertheless he set his face to Jerusalem
where he knew death awaited him. He
urged that 1t is exceedingly important to
have correct perspective of life and
to live up to 1t. 1t comes to correct our
views of things and our estimate of their
relations.
At the close of his sermon DIR. Dickin-
son said to the girls who compose the
graduating class. Young ladies, | COM
mend to you this example of the one per-
feet life. Take now your up-taking In
risen glory as the goal, the vanishing
point of life. and press on to 1t as the
work of your calling To that great
event make all the lines of life in all its
varied scenes converge, and all hfe's
forces focus in that point.
From 1t interpret the scenes of COM
ing days and endure its hardships as see
ing him who is invisible. Thus only can
you make life issue In something more
abiding and permanent and heavenly than
these transient DAVIS"
