The new stone edifice of the First Baptist Church of Birmingham was dedicated this morning in the presence of a large congregation. The dedica- tory sermon was preached by Rev. William F. Hatcher, D. D., of Rich mond, Va. Rev. A. J. Dickinson. pas tor of the church, was also in his pull pit. The church proper brought about an expenditure of no less than $40,000. The construction was carried on under the direction of R. H. Hunt of Chatta- nooga, Tenn.
 The First Baptist Church in Birm- ingham was erected on the lot adjacent to the present structure in 1870. In 1SS8 a larger church was erected. it's capacity being 700. This soon became too small and a still larger edifice was deemed advisable and arrangements made therefor The congregation to- day was in a happy frame of mind. To- night services were held which Were attended by the congregation from the Southside Baptist Church and other Baptistst churches in the immediate district.

NenSky's Silence.

St. Petersburg. April 23.-(2:05 a. m) Vice Admiral Rojestvensky continues his policy of strategic silence and has answered the admiralty's message of last Saturday, pointing out the position of the French government on neutral ity regulations, only by putting to sea, giving no intimation of his plans or destination. Russian naval circles would not be surprised if it should develop that the squadron had been all ready two days or more on the way northward when the instructions were cabled to him and that the admiralty was aware of this when the message was sent asking the Admiral to move outside the three mile limit if he hap pened to be in French territorial waters.
 A prominent naval officer here last night called the present stage of affairs "a game of naval hide and seek" and declared that the admiralty was justi- fled In sending elusive despatches, es- pccially as there was reason to be- lieve that one motive of Japan in press ing the question was the desire to learn the exact position of Rojestven- skys squadron.

MUST READ PAPERS
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS TO KEEP
TRACK OF CURRENT EVENTS
Professor Considers Such Course Of
Much Importance = Educational
Value Of the Reputable Newspaper
Beginning to Be Recognized.

A few days ago Prof. James A.
James, instructor of history at North
western university, referred in his lee
ture before the American history class
to an article which had appeared in a
morning paper the day before. Upon
questioning one of the members of
the class he found that the student
was not prepared to discuss current
news. Further investigation developed
the fact that but two members of the
class had read a morning paper. This
will never do" said the professor.
Hereafter shall expect you to have
an accurate knowledge of current
events as chronicled each day in the
newspapers, and I shall consider it
fully as important as the daily lesson
assigned from the textbooks"
The value of the newspaper as an
educator has long been recognized in
this section Of the country, and we are
pleased to note that the idea has at
last penetrated Northwestern univer-
sity. Some years ago this very idea
was adopted in some of the primary
grades of our own public schools, and
for some time worked most success
fully. 1t stimulated the interest of the
children and served quite as good
purpose as any textbook lesson could.
To those who read a newspaper in
telligentTy it is as good as post-grad
uate course, providing the newspaper
is a conscientious and reputable one.
There are newspapers from which no
good can be had-absolutely vapid and
tasteless. There are newspapers even
lower in the journalistic scale whose
teachings are decidedly harmful. The
kind of newspaper you place in the
hands of your son and daughter will
tell in the formation of character. Your
choice should show whether you want
them to grow up clean-minded or not.
The educational effect depends in no
small measure, of course, ON the re-
ceptive ability of the reader, but con-
slant reading will improve even the
most hopeless case.-Utica Observer.
