and written by MIR. +. ?. Pigg, for.
merly editor Of the Pennington News,
at compliment to the pastor, mem
bers and friends of the NJ. +. Church
of Farming,or, and were read to the
congregation in that church by the

went up Columbia street and there /
stood alone,
To view the new NJ. l.. Church built out
OF solid stone;
thought Of all the Christians who oftep
meet therein,
thought Of God with power to pardon
mortal sin.
CHORUS.
God help this noble cause along, and
bless these Christians in their fight,
Praise God with prayer and with song
and be this church a guiding light.
In this grand and noble structure, built
so strong and sound
Can a more convincing proof of love for
God be found2
The noble Christian workers who fur.
nished all that cash,
Will find through all future time that
their action wasn't rash
Hauling sand, laying stone, the carrying
OF the hod,
Had nothing else behind II but the pure
love OF God;
And many weary soul therein will find
repose
And the good that church shall do, It's
only God who knows.
Love for God, an honest hearth YOU
do such possess
| II will not in all your life make one
earthly JOY less,
So when you come to church, even
though you come alone,
I Don't rush 10 leave the house the min
ute the sermons done,
When you hear the benediction then
your neighbor seek,
Speak few kind words to him. twill
help him all the week,
, Many hearts are heavy and in a measure
! broken.
You may make these hearts glad by
few words kindly spoken.
Aud God bless the pastor and the nobl,
/ work he's done,
God bless the members OF tina, church
bless them every one
Their work is good, their hearts are
right keep them pure and brave,
pass beyond the grave. .

TALKS ON BUNDLE
OF "REMINISCENCES
THE REV. MR.. MCCORMICK WILL
SPEAK AT THE Y. M. c. A. ON
HIS MISSIONARY WORK IN THE
REPUBLIC OF MEXICO.

The subject of the lecture to be de-
livered by the Rev. Hugh Pendleton Nc
Mccormick in the rooms Of the Young
Mems Christian association at p. m.
this afternoon will be "A Bundle of REM
ipiscences." This is the last of a series OF
addresses which have drawn large crowds
and are believed to have awakened mis-
sionary spirit in many of the regular at
tendants.
When Mr.. Mccormick opens his BUN
die and spreads it out before his hear
ers, the hills and valleys of Mexico will
appear in their natural colors, while an
unique people will be seen with all their
individuality, moving in and out of the
towns and cities, government buildings
and churches. Across this map of remin-
iscences, toward the southwest corner.
the path of a missionary during fifteen
years of the prime Of his life will be
plainly traced, and it is said that when
the whole scene has been pictured. d

ALLEGED Insanity.

Just before the government closed the
case for the prosecution. it was suggested
to the court by Captain White, that the
mental condition of the defendant was
impaired to the extent that he was not
fit to make rational defense TO the
charge against him. The court ordered the
trial suspended while an investigation
was made into the defendants mental
condition The inquiry lasted four days
during which time a great amount of
expert and non-expert testimony was
taken.
The question of the defendants sanity
was submitted to the jury which returned
a verdict that the defendant was of suf-
ficiently sane mind to proceed with his
trial.

Fountain Heights Methodists.

At the annual meeting of the board of
trustees of the Fountain Heights Meth
odst church last week 1t was announced
that all the indebtedness of the church
had been paid except a standing debt of
$4,000, which is not due for several years
to come.
This was the end of the four years
pastorate of the Rev. Frank w. Brandon,
and 1t is considered one of the most sue
cessful four years that any church has
had in Birmingham. A new building has
been erected, the church fitted up and
other improvements made. totaling about
$4,000, all of which have been paid for.
At the meeting of the general conference
IN Alabama this week the announcements
will be made of the changes in the vari-
Gus pastorates. and it is probable that
Mr. Brandon will be assigned to some
other church.

thinks that the small blaze in the fruit
stand in the Woodward building yesLer-
day morning was the result of the steam
heat Fires have frequently originated in
other cities from steam heat, but this
is the first that Birmingham has hal
from that cause.
The fire damage amounted to little, the
loss being only a couple of dollars, but
there was considerable excitement when
the alarm was sent in Several hundred
people gathered around the building from
which smoke was coming.
The chief says that sometimes where.
the steam gets to woodwork it chars tho
wood, and finally this charred wood be-
comes almost like powder. 1t is then, of
course, very infiamable
There has been a steam heating sys-
tenn in Birmingham for several years, and
