FOR CHRIST-LIKENESS|
ELOQUENT PLEA BY DR R. c. PAT
 RICK OF MARION.
He Preached a Strong sermon at the Southside Baptist Church Re- fore a GOOd-sized Con-
 gregatiOn.

At the southside Baptist Church yesterday morning Dr. Robert G. Fat rick. president of the Judson College al Marion. preached to a good sized con gregation from I John ii:6. He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to ever walk as He walked.
 The sermon was an earnest plea TOT the imitation of Christ. At the be- ginning 1t was remarked that altnougn the idea was not always put into prac' tice. it was popular. It was an inter esting and significant fact that next to the Bible the book which had passed through the largest number of addi- tions was entitled The Imitation oi Christ" And reference was made tc the wide reading given the more re- cent work Tn His Steps,"
 The Apostle Johns favorite thought was likeness to Christ as is evident from the frequent recurrence Of the words "even as He" It was urged that Gods people ought to strive to walk even as He walked" first. because it is natural.
 We initiate those we love whether consciously or unconsciously," said Dr. Patrick. "Children initiate loved par ents, and in every relation of life where there Is affection, there inev- itably follows likeness of thought and conformity of life. If this was true fin the earthly relationship 1t was na- tural for those who are supposed tc love Christ more than father or moth CT. or sister. or brother to long foi likeness to Him and ts walk in His foot steps. In Him alone we have { perfect standard of rignt living.

ity of the law and the excellence of the Gospel. He is altogether lovely Even John Stuart Mill said. if we could ask as to~all our thoughts, words and deeds. what would Jeesus of Nazareth think of them we should have the most perfect of all moral standards Dr. Patrick said 1t was natural that those who are Gods children to walk in the footsteps of Him who was the holiest among the mighty
 Secondly Dr. Patrick said. because 1t was necessary, no well-grounded asr surance that we are the disciples of Christ could be had unless there were some likeness to Christ. This Is the love of God that we do His command mens." The only real test Of the genuineness of faith is conformity to the life of Jesus
 The simple Christ-like life is neces- sary to large usefulness. Truth Is not mighty unless 1t appears in living characters of His people. It was the life of Christ more than His words, that draws men to Him today. If the world Is to be saved the truth must be read in the living espistles'' who are Gods children.
 Lastly. t was argued that Christian n people should strive for the likeness of Christ because 1t Is possible to attain 1t. Not indeed that ip all respects we can be like Him, nor in those superhu- man acts such as working miracles of healing and raising the dead. But in obeying His commandments. He does not ask us to do the impossible thing. We may hope to be like Him because He who gave the command has set the unparalleled example. He was "a man of like passion with ourselves,' and was tempted in all points like as we are yet without sin" In all the expe- riences of this earthly life, We may do our duty by walking in His steps. It is possible because He who set the example has promised Divine help | sufficient to every hour of need. The great cause of the low attainments in
 the Christian life is the lack of desire
 to possess His likeness. "Blessed are | they which do hunger and thirst after | righteousness for they shall be filled " Not until we have exhausted the bound less resources of Gods words, and the | power of His spirit, shall we be able to

$1OO, O,OOO FIRE IN SELMA
COTTON OIL COMPANIES PLANT
 HEAVILY DAMAGED.
For a Time the Entire Plant Was in Danger, But Rain Aids the Tire-> men to Control the
 Flames.
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Dec. 4.
 Fire which was discovered in the hull room of the International Cotton OH Company's plant, corner Selma Street and Range Avenue. at 4 o'clock this af- ternoon, and .. o'clock wiped out $100,0o0 worth of property. At that hour, the fire, which was one of the hottest and most stubborn the fire de- partment has battled with in many months. was under control
 The fire originated in the hull ware house, and is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. For tunately, a drizzling rain was falling at the time, but a light breeze from the south gradually pushed the flames towards the oil mill proper, and the oil tanks, and for a while 1t looked as though the entire plant would be de- stroyed.
 The seed hull and meal warehouses were entirely consumed. They con- tained about $45,000 worth of seed, 15,O00 worth of hulls, $1O.O00 worth of meal, $5,000 worth of bags. and there was also a loss of about $25,000 on buildings and machinery. The loss is fully covered by insurance.
 During the fire, J. M. Lamar, man. ager of the plant, had his hands pain fully but not seriously burned.
 L. Lamar one of the owners of the plant, stated to The Advertiser corre- spondent that the fire would necessitate the closing of the mill, and whatever of raw material could be saved would be transferred to the company mill in Montgomery. The fire was confined to the warehouses. and none of the mill machinery nor the tanks of oil was damaged. The ice plant. which is run in connection with the mill. also es- raped. and that part of the business will not be interrupted.
 The fire was of the most spectacu- Bar that has ever occurred in Selma, and was witnessed by at least 5000 per sons.
 The highly combustible material ir the warehouses furnished ready fue for the flames. and when night fell they were still raging to such an ex. tend that they lighted up nearly the entire city.
 Between 175 and 200 employees art Thrown out of work by the fire.

here is no doubt of the fact that
the Fifth ward Will do its part in the
coming election. About a week aSO a
merchant in that ward bought two
cards OF watch fobs, each containing
one dozen. On one card We're the Par
ker-Davis kind and on the other the
Observation-Disclosures kind. The first
day one was sold Oft of each card. On
the second day the true sentiment as
it exists was shown. One Parker-DaVl
fob was sold and all the Others were
gone and a new card ordered. Since
that time only M more OF the Par

merchant is thinking OF Offering them
at a discount. About the same ratio is
