HIGH TESTIMONIAL
From One of Alabama's Promi- nent Educators to a Leading
 Birmingham House.

In selecting pianos for the musical de- velopment of the. West Alabama Agn- cultural school at Hamilton, President Cauthen exercised extraordinary dilli- gerce, and finally decided on the world famous Kingsbury, which is manufac- rect from the factory to the consumer. President Cauthen chose we'll. and his se- lection confirms the opinions and good judgment of the president and teachers of the other great colleges of the south, who also selected the Kingsbury piano strictly on it's merits. These educators were nor influenced by the extfavagant assertions and glittering promises of willy agents.
 Read President Cauthen's letter:
 Hamilton, Ala. January r, 19O3 "The Cable Company, Birmingham, Ala :: "Gentlemen-I cannot commend the Kingsbury piano too highly. It is doing all claimed for 1t by It's makers. The more we use it the better we like it. Teachers and pupils alike praise the in- strument. Respectfully.
 ''E. T. CAUTHEN, President" In addition to the above we have the strongest inducements and unpurchased praise of hundreds of satisfied purchasers of our splendid pianos-not only in Bir. mingham. but throughout the world.
 We have large stock of these cele- brated pianos in our warerooms, and they are being sold at the lowest manu- lecturers price and on the most liberal terms THE CABLE O..

The Man She Would Marry.

A composite of "the mind Of the average

Grafton The title is a trifie misleading.
One hundred girls do not want TO marry

But who would say that the one hundred

this requirement is not essential, prefer

becomes the true basis of church union.
We all agree to the desirability of Chris
tan union, The trouble Is that we have
been trying TO find the bond of union in
that which is outward rather than in that
which Is inward. / am not hopeful that the
church will ever be massed together In one
formal organization. I do not know that
that would be best. / do not think il would.
The same spirit produces diversity of mani
festation- The difficulty is not that men
have different views and PHILOSOPHERS about
truth; that they have strong preferences in
the use of forms of administration. The
real trouble is that men exalt these Incl
dental differences into such prominence that
unity In underlying religious experience.
Il want TO insist also that this founda-
ton rock of Christian experience is the
great element of power in the Christian
Church. Ii is this that has enabled IL TO
Withstand assault and change. The real
secret of the church's persistence and
power is not in its creeds or forms. Not
even In the Bible. 1t lies deeper. 1t is in
that region where the divine spirit touches
the human and changes character. Here,
also, is the guarantee of advance and
growth. 1t is the increasing experience
or divine presence and power that brings
enlargement.
I'm spite of all resistance and change
the church will go forward to its final
achievement. There may be iapses in the
ruin. There will not be failure. The
church has for it's vitality the divine life
infused with the souls of men. Upon this
rock, says Christ, L will build my church
and the gates of he'll shall not prevail
against it,

Presbyterian Night Service.
A love feast over the occupation of the
new building of the First Presbyterian
Church was held last night. The Bible
school room was filled and the programme
was significant of the good will and fellow
ship that dominates the various congrega-
tons OF the city. Rev. NJ L. Haines, pas
tor of the church, presided. The invocation
was pronounced by the Rev. Robert S. Os-
good, Of the Mayfower Congregational
Church, after which there was a hymn and
the Apostles Greed. Praise Ye, Praise
and Glorify," was then sung by the choir,
followed by the reading of the Scripture
lesson, 1 Corinthians, xii, 1927. Mr.. Ray
mond Lynn next contributed tenor solo,
In Native Work." after which Dr. Haines
made the prayer and the audience Joined in
a song

of the meeting. Rev. owen Davies Odell,

their beautiful home and brought greetings
from the sister congregation.
The Rev. Robert S. Osgood, pastor of the
Mayfower Congregational Church, which is
across the street from the First Presby-
terrain, expressed q hearty welcome from
his congregation and said that the coming
of the new church was a significant and
suspicious happening in the neighborhood.
He hoped for good work by both organi-
cations. Rev. w. p. Kane, of Wabash Col
lege, spoke next and called attention to the
present-day love for money and wealth, adj
vancing many Of the arguments of his adj
dress to the Tudor Hall graduates.
The last speaker of the evening the
Rev. Allan B. Philputt, pastor of the Cen
trail Christian Church. who made one Of
the most enjoyable talks of the evening.
He caused much amusement by his refer
ences TO the breach which resulted in the
Disciples Withdrawing from the Presby-
terianS years ago and forming a separate
sect. DR.. Philputt expressed his good will
for the followers of Martin Luther and ex-
planned If they would furnish the calf he
would furnish the prodigal. Dr. Haines, in
introducing the speaker, said that both had
changed since the early days, that the time
of carrying chips on their shoulders had
passed and all were now united and work.
ing for the love of God Dr. Philputt con-
graduated the church hosts on their ele-

the great work they would certainly carry
on.

led by H. ]. Lloyd, of Chicago raised their
voices in the night air, and the songs were
heard for squares.
The Rev. Milford j. Lyon continued his
series of sermons on the Ten Command
mentS. Excuses was the subject last
night. 1t was a sermon straight from the
shoulder to all those putting off the &C.
ceptance of Christian faith and living. Mr..
Lyon said that people to-day seem to think
that business and engagements and exist
ing conditions are excuses for no. accept
ing Christ. There is not an excuse in the
world for not confessing the Savior, said
Mr.. Lyon. Mems hearts are turned from
good and love evil, is the real excuse. Men
who intend to accept Christ are not Chris
tians until they forsake sin and let the
purity of God come into their hearts The
subject of Mr.. Lyons morning sermon was
1.-The Open Door" There was also large
audience at the day services.
The closing services last night were very
impressive. The invitational hymn was
sung again and again, each time bringing
forth more confessions of faith. At the
close of the hymn Mr.. Lyon had the large
audience kneel and spend a few minutes In
prayer, during which several more con-
fessed. During the day there were forty
five conversions of men, women and chill
dren.
Mr. Lyon will speak tomorrow night on

Philadelphia Ledger.
A well-known woman, prominent in the
movement for scientific housekeeping. sug-
gests that the present offers great oppor-
tunities for women specialists in the vari-
Gus departments of housewifery. great
many housekeepers can do everything but
their own window cleaning, for instance;
others dislike TO scrub steps; others dis
like ironing, but do not mind doing their
own washing, and vice versa, says writer
I'm the Philadelphia Ledger. Each would
be glad TO employ woman for these tasks,
provided she understood the work and
came punctuaily and promptly TO the house,
provided with such simple appliances as she
might need.
There is an opportunity for visiting cooks,
many women feeling themselves simply un-
equal to the task of getting up a meal and
the work of planning il They would dis
pense with a hired girl if they could en-
gage woman TO come in regularly every
day or three times a day to cook 1t Is
only by thus systematizing all departments
of houSewOrk that the servant problem can
be solved. Men do not expect their book
keepers TO act as pOrters nor their wagon
drivers TO keen books. Women. on the con-
trary. expect one maid-Of-all-wOrk to be
competent in half a dozen different lines.
