COvETOUSNESS WAS THEME OF SERMON pr. McFerrin Preached EIo- quent Discourse Yesterday RICH MANS ROBUSTNESS In the Effort Put Forth to Procure Worldly Goods Gods Goodness
 and Mercy Must Be Kept
 in Sight.
RICH MANS ROBUSTNESS

The pleasant, bright, exhilarating weather of yesterday made conditions highly favorable for the church-goers of Birmingham, and before the last stroke of the First Methodist church bell had died away or the first chords of the open ing voluntary were heard, a large con- gregation had already taken their seats to participate in divine worship and to hear the discourse of the Rev. Dr. J. P. McFerrin.
 The pastor took for his subject Cove tousness," and after the preliminary ex- ercises prefaced his sermon by reading the parable of the rich man who would fain rest and enjoy the fruits of his la bor. He opened his sermon with an anlysis of the man, his occupation and his desires. It was a very evident fact that he was a farmer, and one who had used every nerve and muscle to accumu- late something for his declining years
 The mans purpose was accomplished, the rest he imagined was well earned. so he makes a survey of his barns and his crops and store houses and asks himself the question, What shall l do?' After communing with himself. he decides to build more barns. house his corn and l take his rest, to eat, drink, and be merry But alas for human hopes and mundane desires. the ultimation comes forth "Thou fool this night thy soul shall be required of thee"

Man Was a Fool.

The doctor characterized the man as a rich man, a farmer and d fool. He dwelt upon the fact that his foolishness was apparent by his egotism, the flat tering unction he took to his soul that all these good things were his and he was the lord and monarch of all he sur veyed, forgetting in his coverteous pride his obligations to Almighty God.
 Dr. McFerrln made some apt compari sons and pointed out how in the great ef- fort put forth in the endeavor to procure this worlds goods we forget the goodness of God.
 The speaker showed that this world was for mans use and enjoyment, the true beauty of which could only be realized in the real delight experienced in the service in the great cause of humanity. Man is not placed on this sphere to abuse his privileges or for the mere gratifica- tion of human impulse and passion. Let not eovetousness be mans besetting sin. empty handed he came into the world and empty handed will he depart.

List of Smiths.

An amusing incident occurred at the morning service which came near up- setting the equinamity of the congrega- tion. A list of members who had been lost sight of was read with the request that if members present were familiar with the whereabouts of the persons mentioned they would communicate with the pastor or stewards. Among the large number read the name of Smith was most conspicuous. The continuous repe- tition of the name caused the congrega- ton to smile and finally it seemed as much as some of the members could do 10 suppress their risibles.
