100000 BOOKS FOR
SCHOOL CHILDREN
Requires That Number for
North and Central Alabama
SCHOOLS COMMENCE SOON
State Adoption In 80 Counties in This
Part of the State Has Proven
Very Successful In
Four Years.
SCHOOLS COMMENCE SOON

1t will require over 100000 new school
books for the children in the northern and
central counties of Alabama for the fall
term. These books are all of the state
adoption, and there are probably thou
sands Of others for private schools not
using the state adoption.
The estimates were made by Henry
Baruch, who has charge OF the book de-
partment OF Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, the
depository for northern and central Ala
bama. The territory covers thirty-four
counties, and in those counties the state
adoption has proven very popular and
satisfactory.
Mr. Baruch made the estimates from
his orders for this fall, and he states that
this is an increase over last year of over
20 per cent Besides the new books or
dered, there are hundreds of thousands Of
books which were used last year by the
children, and which will be handed down
this session to younger children.
The state adoption has been in force
for four years and there remains one more
year for the system to operate. The ques-
ton of state adoption for another period
of years will come up probably at the
next session of the legislature, at which
time the entire matter will be entered into
and thoroughly gone over with view to
deciding If the plan has been successful.
In Birmingham public schools there will
be practically no changes in the books
used in the grammar schools, and only
slight changes in those used in the High
school. These conditions will save the
school choldren OF the city large sums OF
money this year. as in previous years.
1t Is estimated that the increase in
books used this year in Birmingham will
be very large. The printed lists of the
books for each of the grades will be
ready for distribution within few days.
These lists are now in the hands of the
printer and they show not only the books,
but the prices also.

REV. QUINCY EWING
DELIVERS FAREWELL
Retiring Rector of Advent
breaches Affecting Sermon
SAD SCENES AT PARTING
MIR. Ewing Gives His Conception Of
christ's Theology-Pays His Re-
spects to Various De-
nominations.

The pathetic remarks made by the Rev
Quincy Ewing in the Introduction To his
farewell sermon delivered at the Episco-
pal Church of the Advent yesterday are
said TO have moved many of his hearers
to tears.
Notwithstanding the day was extremely
warm, there was an immense congrega-
ton present to pay their tribute of re-
spect to d rector who had so kindly min
istered TO them.
The reverend gentleman himself was
deeply affected and was sincerely CRATE
full for the many kind expressions of good
wishes for his success in his new field of
labor
Mr.. Ewing leaves next Saturday for
New Orleans. where he will remain few
days. lie will then proceed TO Napolean-
vile, La, where he is to become rector
of that parish.
The retiring minister chose for his text
yesterday
THE grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God, and the fellowship Of
the Holy Ghost be with you an."-II Cor,
1S:-14
Mr.. Ewing said
There is scarcely anything we part from
that does not in some moods and circun-
stances lend itself to pathos. There is a
sort of natural rebellion in us all against
giving up even the most nsignifcant
things that have appealed to eye or ear
and formed part of our conscious en-
vironment. Doubtless many a traveller has
sat looking out of a car window at some
group of little unkempt, bright-faced chill
dren, some tree, shrub flower plot, fringe
of dim woods on a far horizon, and had a
feeling Of regret. as the carwheels began
to move again. mingle itself with the re-
Fiction: 81 shall never more see to the
end of time those children or that tree,
or shrub, or flower plot, or fringe of
woods"
Again and again a sadness comes over
us In parting from things we did not
greatly value, did not perhaps value at
all, as If the parting reminded us of our
finite helplessness In the midst of time
and circumstance; our powerlessness to
bear with us always our total experience.
We do not enjoy having our finteness
forced upon US and 1t Is forced upon us
every time anything that former part of
our experience passes out of 1t, and we
are conscious of our inability to prevent
It's passing.

Commerce a Great Aid.

The commerce of Christian nations
greatly aid Christianity in the destrue-
ton of idolatry in the earth. The gospel
goes with or before commerce and
both teach that material things are sub
ject to the will Of man.
Through the skill of understanding we
are coming to the dominion over diseases.
The enemies of the human body the
enemies to health may be dominated by
the skill of the physician, so that in this
day many plaques which once held men
at their mercy are now driven from their
destructive work of death.
Our greatest enemies are our sins. With
all this God-given rule and power shall
we be at last debauched by sin and have
our spiritual and moral natures ruined :?
Many have been ruined and many are
thus ruined today Instead of being a
conqueror of sin many are conquered by
the sins of the age.
AS in the material world God gave us
dominion over 1t, so God has provided also
that in our higher and better natures we
may have self rule for righteousness and
have dominion over sin. Man is just as
slow in coming to this spiritual throne
OF conquest as he has been in gaining
the mastery of the material world, but he
is coming. As those who from stupidity
or neglect do not master and use the
material things of this world must give
place to those who do; so those who fail
to use the moral and spiritual truths to
overcome evil, they must go down while
others go onward. We are more than
conquerors through faith and fellowship
through God. This spiritual realm is the
most important Of all dominions. What a
pity for man to have all the forces of
nature to be his servants, to do his will
in the material world. and then suffer
himself to be the servant of sin, the
enemy to God.

Our Responsibility.

In our dominion and rule of the God

truth, in mercy, in love. in the relations

selves from destructive sins in ourselves,
