inmate sentences to be employed by white
men. There Is no lawful warrant for the
act. l grant you, for the sake of argu-
ment, that their condition is improved
by the change. grant you that the little
negroes are better off under a white man
in a rural community than they would be
with their own people here in Birming-
ham. I am willing to admit that there
ought to be enacted laws which would
provide that these negroes be cared for
by white men, But in the absence of such
laws we are running a great risk In
sending these negro children to the coun-
try and placing them under the care OF
white men.
Nine tenths Of the negroes may be
we'll treated and happy, but the first
thing we know there will be case of
alleged cruel treatment, and then the
f1cod gates of partisan abuse and section
al distrust will open and Alabama will
be flooded with charges of peonage What
will then happen, l do not like to con-
template.
In Conclusion.
Let me repeat that. while differ with
Judge Feagin, I regard him highly. II
he makes mistakes they are errors OF
the head and not of the heart.
But that does not alter the situation. We
must take common sense view OF 1t.
AS for me. I propose to enforce the laws
as find them If they are inadequate
let the proper authorities modify them
or supplement them with other laws that
will remedy the evil"

STATEMENT MADE
BY JUDGE ROULHAC
POSTMASTER HAD AT VARIOUS
TIMES CASHED ATTORNEYS
BANK CHECKS, BUT NONE ARE
FOUND IN HIS ACCOUNTS.

A paragraph in the article printed in
The Age-Herald of Sunday regard
ing the proposed removal of DR.. j.
w. Hughes from the Birmingham POST
office has brought this dictated state
ment from Judge Thomas II. Roulhac:
THE statement printed IN The Age
Herald of Sunday that some checks Of
mine were found in DR.. Hughes ac-
counts, when they were examined by the
Postoffice Inspector the latter part OF
October and the early part of November,
is incorrect.
None of my checks was there at that
time, and DR.. Hughes tells me that my
checks were in his accounts only until
they could be, or at least only until
they were, deposited in the bank for
payment.
1T is true that at various times Dr..
Hughes did, as a matter of accommodate
ton to me- as we'll as to others, cash bank
checks for me. All these checks, how
ever, were paid as soon as they were
presented to the bank.
II was absent from Birmingham for six
weeks preceding the examination of DR..
Hughes accounts that was made by the
Postoffice Inspector"

Tomato In human history to the measure
in which the Bible has been laid open to
the thought and heart of men We have

Bible a Field for Thought.

Great thinkers, writer's, investigators
and discoveries gathering around the
Bible in Its respondent field OF thought,
as the greatest educational system in the
worlds history, and yet we poor fools are
list ening from Sabbath to Sabbath to old
wives fables and according to these wise
men from the streets we must learn
something else to attract and entertain
them on the Sab lath. I've no doubt there
are men, and eir number is as small
as their intelles ual and moral capacity,
who talk In this way, but there is nothing
in their every day life and their moral or
mental standing to warrant an exchange
of even a single remark upon them. DR..

Inundated to know that he had been

pampered passions.

Great Surprise.

9Tcdt ourpIiecs
1 might continue these extracts out OF
his many published discourses, but
forbear because the more we read them
or hear them the greater is our surprise
the greater is our sorrow that such "a
star should have fallen out of the right
hand of the son Of mani. e., that such
a man should go back to thrash the old
straw OF natural theology and should
seem to seek notoriety by falling into
line with such mystic dreamers as Her
bert Spencer, and with that increasing
number of unconverted preachers and
laymen who find in higher criticism, y
as they are pleased to call 1t, panaces
for all their ills, an antidote to deaden
that moral sense of sin which all true
gospel preaching seeks to awaken AND
lxIndle into such ardent flame that men
shall turn away from their sins, and by
repentance and faith In God become new
creatures In Christ Jesus our Lord.
Old Errors.
NV brethren, 1t Is not an extravagan'
statement when l say that such addresses
as that recently delivered by DR.. Abbott
at Yale university contains nothing new
old errors and old philosophers and old
theories, with new faces. A personal God
who by searching can find out the Al
mighty. For this cause came the living
Son into the world that He might reveal
Him unto us. If man had to get his
religion out of such stun as that con
tanned in the address, God In His
World" the most of us would die either
without any religion or else be bewildereo
and insane from the searching Where
are the burdened hearts all over thit
world who, blind with their weeping
and deaf with their cries, are calling out
in bitterness of soul, WHO will show us
any good?' Where are the weeping
Marys and Marthas who seek their dead
but no answering voice Is heard In all the
vast and desolate worldf
Peradventure is the last and greatest
word of these empty-handed, cold-heart-
ed teachers that hand us their little
books of science and philosophy, but the
old Bible printed as no other book ever
has or ever will be in more than Box
tongues, is opened and there we find
solace and rest in Him who is the life
and the resurrection. Rising to the height
Of an Infinite majesty, the divine Son of
God says, 'IIe that belleveth In Me shall
never die" Look unto Me all We ends OF
| the earth and be We saved This is the
| personal God we worship, our Father who
| art in Heaven, and He will be our Guide
| ever unto death. Thank God for such q
Bible and a thousand times for such a
| gospel, blessed be the God and Father
| of our Lord Jesus Christ who according
| to His abundant mercy hath begotten us
| again unto livid hope by the resurrec-
| ton of Jesus Christ from the dead. to an
| inheritance incorruptible and undefiled,
| and that fadeth not away reserved In
| Heaven for you who are kept by the
| power of God through faith into salvation
| ready to be reunited in the last time"

From DR.. Ahbottrs Sermon.

Not very long ago he preached from
this subject Solemn Warnings" and the
text was Every One That Asketh, Re-
ceiveth and he that Seeketh Ffndeth, and
to Him That Knocketh the Door Shall
be Opened"
Among other like things, at Is not ev-
cry one asking that receives nor even
seeking that finds, nor to every knock
er that the door of the IAngdom Is open
ed. The promise of eternal life Is to
them, who by patient continuance In well
doing seek for glory and honor and i'm
mortality. This Is to build on a rock
not to have any intellectual opinion about
Jesus Christ, but to hear His sayings and
TIC do them. To hear is to listen, to
give heed to, to welcome, to take into
the heart, as the open ground receives
into its heart the seed. To do is to fol
low Christ. listening to the teaching OF
Christ, not only of HIS words, but get
more of His Incompatible life and death,
by imbbing his spirit and by following
his example" Again, Sometimes the
false prophets have simply and boldly
taught that since God Is merciful, He
will bring into the Kingdom of Heaven
everyone whether he has sought or not
that the drag net cast into the sea and
bringing all to shore will bring all to be
gathered into vessels, and there shall be
no Dau 10 pc cast away. All buCH tedcH-
ers are as wolves In sleeps clothing
Their teaching is pleasant but 1t is dan
gerous: 1t is subtle and seductive, but II
e ravening; 1t does not build up 1t de-
stroys character: This is the true test
of every doctrine, every church, every
ministry: That which makes men truer
better nobler, more Christ-llke Is Chris
tan teaching. That which destroys NOR
al discrimination, which creates artificial
virtues and destroys those that are real
Is un-Christian."
