ourselves to be deceived through thoughtlessness; but If we question our own hearts deeply enough shall we not get from them this answer: that We love the Christ, that we want to draw near to Him. want to go the way of His leading, want to feel the hand-clasp of His Saviorship not because of any mir aculous thing He did not because He fed multitude with a few loaves and fishes; not because He opened the eyes of the blind; not because He healed lepers or lunatcs; not because He turn ed water into wine; or. like Elijah and Paul, raised the dead but because of things He did that were not miracles; because He uttered the Sermon on the Mount; because He taught His disciples to pray. Our Father who are in Heaven;" because He chose suffering for Himself to save others from 1t: because there beat in Him heart of infinite tenderness and sympathy for the weak and sinful: because He insisted upon jus tice and mercy for the sorrowfulest and pitifulest of Gods creatures: because He trod unhalting and unstumbling a height of affirmative moral sinlessness, which none of us treading with Him would have any fear to meet God face to face?
 That is why we love Him; that Is why we worship Him; that is why in our sin and sorrow we yearn for the saving embrace of His spirit. And that is why He wants us to love and worship Him. He cares nothing at all-He did not dur ing His days of earthly service-for any love or admiration of men not inspired by His righteousness-not inspiring them to make His righteousness their own. He taught. not to dazzle mems brains. but to illuminate their souls not to give them something to wonder at outwardly. but to reeval to them something to rever- ence inwardly. He lived and died to be the worlds moral Savior by riddlng 1t of sin--not it's miraculous Savior in spite of sin.
 It is this purpose, this ideal. which underlies and shines through the words of the text There was nothing to be gained, Jesus taught, by calling upon Him, Lord, Lord;" nothing to be gained by casting out devils. or prophesying or doing many wonderful works in His name-nothng to be gained, nothing to be possessed. In the realm of spiritual values, that did not rest upon honest love of the right honest hate of the wrong.
 No man could be saved by a miracle. whether done by another or done by him self no man could be saved by any thing but his own personal righteousness such is clearly the teaching of the text

SIX LARGE DRAFT
 HORSES AT FEES
SAID TO BE THE LARGEST TEAMS IN THE WORLD-WILL PARADE ON THE STREETS ToDAY--WoN MANY PRIZES.

Six draft horses-three teams said to be the largest in the world. are on exhibit tion at Fies & Sons livery stable on Third avenue. These noble iron gray animals constitute a veritable horse show. The animals belong to the Pabst Brewing com pany of Milwaukee and they took first prizes at the St. Louis Worlds fair. At tached to one of the largest wagons in the world and driven by D. D. La Prarie, tho noted six-in-hand driver, the animals will be paraded over the streets of Birming- ham today from 10 a. m. to D. m.
 The turnout occupying two freight cars. arrived in Birmingham early yesterday morning. The harness, which is of patent leather with trimmings. alone cost $500
 At the St. Louis Worlds fair the team carried off ten first prizes to-wit: For single cart horse weighing 150O to TOO pounds; for single cart horse, weighing 1700 pounds or over; for pair of horses, weighing less than 5000 pounds; for pair of horses, weighing from 5000 to $500 pounds; for pair of horses, weighing over 800 pounds; for four-horse team. wheelers weighing 5000 to $500 pounds; for four horse team. wheelers weighing $500 pounds; for six-horse team, wheelers weighing over $500 pounds; for drafter class; for sweepstakes class, horses hitched wagon and general equipment counting. Sir first prizes were won by the team at the International Live Stock exposition at Chicago in 1904.
 Fred Allen, who is with the team, said yesterday afternoon:
 In presenting this team to the public we know of no manner in which we can more fully impress upon them the quality and high-class of these animals than to use the expression of Prof. c. F. Curtis. of Ames, Iowa, arbitrator at the Interna- tional Live Stock exposition at Chicago. and regarded as one of the best judges of horses in the United States. who, in an- nouncing this team as winners of the first prize in the heavy six-horse class, de- clGred them to be six of the most perfect horses ever shown in harness or seen in any show ring in the world"
 The only thing I am sorry of.' said Eugene Fies. lis that the company did not wait until our State fair Is held next fall and send the team to Birmingham"

Just because Walter Melville Drennen has but forty-five days longer to serve as Mayor that is no sign that he is getting nervous as the time approaches for shlm to turn over the reins of municipal govern ment to George Battey Ward. On the night of May Mir. Drennen will transfer to his successor. MT. Ward, the reins. whip. driving gloves and all of the par aphernalia he has had in his possession for the past six years. The next day the horse and buggy which belongs to the Mayors office and the city engineering department jointly will partially belong to Mayor Ward.
 Mayor Drennen is spending his last two months in receiving callers. attending committee meetings visiting Blount Springs, signing acquisitions, remittng fines and attending to other matters of minor importance. He is wearing the same smile, and evidently is not worrying about where the bread and butter is to come from.
 He owns an interest in a big department store in Birmingham to say nothing of hls general store in Blount county. The

CLOSING TERM IS NOT
 WORRYING THE MAYOR

Mayor Is quoted as remarking to friend several days ago that 'I am glad it Is nearly all over; could have made barrel of money if I had been out of this office three months ago"
 DO you feel very nervous now that your term of office as Mayor is about 10 expire" was asked of the Mayor Satur- day
 NO, not especially was his reply. as he looked at his watch and called to his private secretate, "Pepperman, please call up and find out if the train to Blount Springs is on time today"
 Mayor Drennen has been in municipal politics for about eight years and a half. Before being elected Mayor he served as ai. Alderman from the Fifth ward for two and a half years.
 Mayor Drennen is president of the Board of Education. Of course, this is not a political position. so they tell you at the city hall. However, he will be re- quired to go to the municipal building at least twice q month for two years yet to come, and. it is said, that the atmosphere in that structure is always permeated with city politics.

The power that gives you life and motion is the nerve force, or nerve fluid, located in the nerve cells of the brain, and sent out through the nerves to the various organs.
 If you are tired, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, feel stuffy, dull and melancholy, or have neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, peri odical pains, indigestion, dys- pepsia, stomach trouble, or the kidneys and liver are inactive, your life-current is weak.
 Power-producing fuel is need ed; something to increase nerve energy-strengthen the nerves.

FELL FROM BUILDING.
R. N. Gibson Was Slightly Injured.
 Charged With Being Drunk.

R. N. Gibson. white man, fell from the roof of one-story building in the rear of the Waddell house on First ave- nue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth street last night shortly after dark. The man was not much injured by the fall. although he bled profusely for a few minutes from a cut on the head
 A charge of Sunday drunk was docketed against him at the city Jail when he was carried there. Assistant Warden Rittenberry sent him to the Hillman hos pital to have the cut dressed. After sur gical attention the man was sent back to the jail.
 A negro who was in the alley at the time saw the man fall and states that he was climbing on top of this shed which is about ten feet high, and slipped. It was at first thought that he had fallen from the third-story of the Waddell house.
