SOUND ADVICE ID CHURCH MEMBERS
Dr. Steele Says They Should
 Live True Lives
ACTS BETTER THAN WORDS
Eloquent sermon Preached at the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church on the subIeet-"ifzl We're
 a Church Member"

Hssf M tE# a
 The Reverend I. D. Steele preached yesterday morning at the First cumber- lands Presbyterian Church.
 By request. the subject of his sermon was. If Were a Church Member, {" He took his text from James I. p; "But be Ye Doors Of the Word, and Not Hearers Only, Deceiving yourselves.'
 Dr. Steele said the good church mem Der would first of all settle the matter of religious connections and obligations That this should be settled on a broad Bible view. He would abide by the plain teaching of the word of God. He said the member should not be carried abont by every wind of ism and oiosy. That the members religious life should be the most vital of all things
 Greater Than Lodge Orders.
 He said the obligations to God were greater than lodges, orders or clubs some of these were good in their right place but 4could never be substitute for a righteous life. A church member, he said. should know that the world read him more than they read the Book. For this reason a member should avoid all places and customs that damage the standing of Christian, That he should shun sinful habits more than deadly poi sons. That a member shonid make pray ing and reading the Word part of his life duty 4sl lzs- M a4 4t
 Continuing pr. Steele said; One should not be either a dead or wooden church member. People. of every class are measured by what they really do-- not by what they profess. What one does is the only true pointer to his character and Inner self a' at4f
 Pretentions Count for Nouoht.
 Great pretensions and great profes- sions go for nothing when actions point the other way" All church members, he said. were divided into three classes wooden members, ~kiekersp and "workers;" that workers were too busy to kick and klekers were too busy to work; wooden members too indifferent to ho clAhflf iAttt Aou tilc diWd4s Sdit III working with what God has blessed that God blesses pure living and earnest ac- tion. ss a9ar
 Dr. Steele then gave some good coun- sel to young men, whom he urged to do something and be something in religion. He said that it was more important to live the1truth than to simply teach or preach the truth. That the greatest and most effective way to teach Christianity was to live 1t. What you say. men may doubt, what you do men believe.

KIDNAPER TAKES
 GIRL FROM TRAIN
NEGRO CHILD 12 YEARS OLD IN DucED TO GO WITH MAN gW4p CLAIMED TO BE A FRIEND olF THE FAMILY.


 What appears to be a very daring case of Kidnapping occurred yesterday shortly after 12 o'clock at the Union passenger station. Lilly Davis, a negro girl about l2 years old, has disappeared entirely and when last seen was with a man who had professed to be friend of the fam fly and would take her home.
 It seems that the girl came in on one of the noon trains and that she was in charge of the negro porter. who was to deliver her to her aunt in the waiting room at the depot here. #H
 When the train pulled fin the porter started to carry the little girl to the waiting room, but negro man who had been sitting near her on the train and talking to her said he knew her aunt and would relieve the porter of the trou- ble. as he was busy. The porter agreed and the man took the girls bundles and went through the gates with her. He has not been seen since and 1t is supposed that the girl is with him.
 The aunt is very much worried. She is tenant of w. H. Pettiford. the negro banker. and he has become interested in the search. The matter has been report ed to the police and they are assisting in the hunt

The Boys Reading Club. which is one week old. and has it's quarters insthe city building. is a growing community and bids fair, If one may judge from weeks experience, to become one of Birming- hams institutions. 5s a
 The room where the youngsters meet Is furnished appropriately for a boys club-- there is very little that Is breakable. The tables are covered with magazines and papers of the Kind which would naturally catch the fancy of the ''rousaE and ready who go to make up the membership.

 Mrs. Jeffries says that even in the short time since the opening of the club, mark ed Improvements have been shown in the boys. Already they have learned to remove their hats whenever they enter the club room. and always salute her when they come in or go out. They are also becoming interested in matters sar- torial, and have in many instance greatly improved their appearance in the matter of white shirts and non-ventilated trous- CTS. s8
 In order to get some idea of the va- rious tastes of the members and perhaps ascertain something of the fields of fu- ture usefulness. of the embryo presden- tia1 possibilities. Mrs. Jeffries asked them to write her letters and tell how they liked the club and confde to her their pet ambitions as to their careers in af- ter life. The letters disclose a wide range of desires, and in some instances the choice of a life work is rather start ling. The desire to shine in blue cloth and brass buttons seems to be common one. and many of the boys look upon the career of "cop" as the ultima thule'' of happy life
 Required Too Much Study.
 One youth let his ambition soar to the height of being bookkeeper, but on second thought concluded that the nec- essary school life incident to the prepa- ration required for the job was rather more than It was worth. and finally con- cluded that of the two a news boys life necessitatedi the fewer privations.
