DR. CRAWFORD TALKS. MEMBERSOF Y.M. CA.
PASTOR OF CUMBERLAND PRES BY1ERlAN CHURCH OF MONT GcMERY DELIVERS A STRONG DlscoURsE-soclAL MEETING.

The we'll known evangelist, the Rev Walter M. Crawford, pastor of the Cum bcrland Presbyterian church of Mont gomery, spoke to the Sunday club fol men at the Y. M. c. A. yesterday after noon, taking as his subject. "The Man oi Galilee."
 Before the speaker was introduced As. sistant Secretary J. s. Bridges, who was in charge of the meeting, led the audi ence in a season of prayer and song ser vice.
 The Y. M. c. A. male sextette sang ''The Riches of Love-" After which the Rev. MT. Crawford took as his text the inquiry of the rich young ruler What Shall I Do to be Sayed?' and the reply of Paul to the Phillipian jailer: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and Thou Shalt be Saved"
 ' Daniel Webster he said, twas once approached and asked to state what the greatest thought was that had ever en- tered his mind. The great orator and statesman replied without hesitation: My own personal responsibility to God
 All of us doubtless feel as Webster did, and the question we must answer this afternoon is, what will we do with the man of Galilee? We must either reject Him or receive Him." said the speaker. He then followed at some length with a powerful presentation of the obligations which rest upon all men to accept Christ's offer of mercy.
 Our Savior Is the one hero who has no paralell In history. He triumphed over all that is base or low. God Himself found Him well pleasing in His sight. All the great characters in history save Christ have been touched by the blight of sin and consequently our respect and re- gard for them Is curtailed. We are under obligations to Christ, because but for Him we would have been hurled into eter- nity without hope.
 "IIe interevened and paid the ransom for our sins on the cross of Calvery. No one ever enters so far Into sin that Christ does not love him and seeks to save him. At the close of the minister's address a number expressed a desire to become Christians, and six definitely accepted Christ"
 A social meeting of the members and their friends was held at the colse of the gospel meeting. MT. c. w. Collins, Jr., addressd this meeting briefly on why I entered the association work as life calling" It must be remembered by the friends of MT. Collins that he has for some time past been considering the ques- tion of giving himself to the Y M. C. A. work, and 1t Is source of qualification to the association workers that he has done so. He Is held in highest esteem by his associates. In entering the work he gives up bright prospects in the law. which profession he has been practicing in this city for about four years. MT. Collins Is a graduate of Auburn of the class of 1899, and he is calculated to be of great service to the state committee In the prosecuting of It's work among the colleges of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana At present, however. he will be associated with MT. Maurice Willows in the city association work of Louisiana Counting MT. Collins, there have been five men to enter the Y. M. c. A. work from Birmingham. The others are: J. s. Bridges, assistant secretary here; J. II. Conkii, to be assistant railroad secretary at the New Decatur association; B. s. Huggins, assistant state secretary and Maurice Willows, assistant state secre- tary.
 State Secretary c. Il. Moorman states that the Y. M. c. A. work at Meridian, Miss, is now assured. enough funds being on hand to erect the s25,o0O building that has been contemplated for some time.
