L. & N. CAR REPAIR
 SHOP IN BLAZE
Fire Department Also Answers Call on Tenth Street Near First
 Avenue.

Fire partially destroyed the roof of the car repair shop in the Louisville and Nashville yards yesterday morning, and but for the heroic work of the railroad employees the entire building would un- doubtedly have been destroyed. The fire had gained considerable headway before being discovered but the employees plunged into the smoke and flames and with a small hose and the water barrels held the fire in check until the arrival of the fire department. Three youngsters with the hose won the admiration of the crowd by the way they stuck to their post on the roof.
 The fire was a difficult one for the fire department to reach, the firemen hay ing to climb a fence and some freight cars with the hose. It was soon extin- guished after their arrival.
 Another call was received about 1 o'clock from Tenth street, near First avenue, where two-story frame dwelling caught from a defective fue The roof was slightly damaged.

 FOR FAIR AUTO DAY
MANAGER BARNES SCHEDULES ADDITIONAL EVENTS FOR AFT ERNooN OF OCTOBER 1e, WHEN CHRISTIE APPEARS.

For automobile day, October 16 at the State Fair, General Manager Barnes has secured additional attractions in the form of motorcycle races.

 One of the affairs of the afternoon will be match race for the champion ship of the south. Robert Stubbs, the Birmingham champion, will be in this race, his opponent coming from Nash vile, Atlanta, Montgomery Selma, Mo bile or New Orleans. The race will be at five miles, and a special prize will be offered the winner Letters have been sent to the motorcycle clubs throughout the south challenging any man in the country, and a competitor for honors is expected to give Stubbs a race for his life.
 Another of the big events for the afternoon will be handicap race for A handsome gold medal to be offered bv William II. Pickens, one of the managers of Walter Christie. Piekens is an Alabama man who formerly rode a bicycle and was at one time the southern champion. He is very much interested in the motorcycle and de- sires to do all possible to increase in- terest in the sport.
 MT. Pickens arrived in Birmingham vesterdav from Nashville and stated that Mir. Christie would leave New York for the south this afternoon. His big car will be shipped by express on the same train. The car will be placed on exhibition here and every effort will be made to give the public a chance to see the monster before it is sent out in the speed shing race.
 With the motorcycle and automobile races both on the programme for the afternoon of October 16 that day will he one of the most important of the State Fair and will doubtless stir the people of Alabama into a spasm Of en- thusiasm.

TENETS OF DENOMINATION

The Sabbath services on the Seventh Day Adventist encampment yesterday were of interest and importance, the sermons for the day dealing largely with practical themes connected with the Christian life. Yesterdays services were of timely character and provoked con- siderable interest, the attendance at each service being large.
 At the o'clock hour Elder George l. Butler presented some thoughts on mis- sionary endeavor, exhorting the people to regard with conscientious scruples the little things in order that the system of character building should not be impeded by false steps and false moves which are made as the result of careless indif- ference. He said that all who professed Christianity had influence, more or less,
 in their daily walk and urged that every individual should take an active part in the proclamation of the message for which this people stands today. He also stated that the work of Adventists is making progress throughout the world today as 1t never has before, and this is a source of joy and comfort to the people who feel responsible to give the message to the world,

Eden Lost and Restored.

1. In the beginning man was made up- right. and placed fin the Garden of Eden with the attributes of righteousness, in possession of a beautiful home Eden or Paradise, having access to the tree of life The Creator purposed that this earth in it's Edenic beauty should be the everlasting home of Adam and his progeny, the condition being that Adam and Eve were to live in obedience to the Father in Heaven. If there was disobedl- ence theconsequence was to be death.
 ?. Adam and Eve fell from their high estate by listening to the siren voice of the serpent, which was used by Satan to deceive. The. curse of death was pro- nounced upon Adam and Eve, and they were cut off from access to the tree of life, and they must now go back to the ground from whence they came. Had there been no provision made for the re- demptlon of Adam and Eve. the dust into which they finally went would have been always, and will always. be just as It is.
 8 The gospel of salvation was pro claimed in the hearing of Adam and Eve in the language spoken to the serpent, ts2und fin Gen. S15. And I win put en- Snity between thee and the woman. and between thy seed and her seed and It shall brulse thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. This is the gospel that has been going to the world ever since. This involves man, and concerns all that was lost in Adam in his fall, namely: First, righteousness, the passport to heaven found in Jesus Christ's life; sec

At 7:3O last night Elder Horton spoke on the subject of Mile Posts" on the Christian Journey. In his discourse the lures which reveal 1t in short meter, the history of the kingdoms of the world from Babylon, under the reign of Nebuchadnez- gar to the setting up of the everlasting Kingdom for which we pray in the Lords prayer, "rhy Kingdom come." The speak CT showed from history that Babylon was at the time of Nebuchadnezzar occupying the zenith of importance in the seventh century before Christ. He showed that Babylon was oyerthrown by the Medes and Persans in 538 B. C., and it in turn WAS oyerthrown by the Grecian power under Alexander the Great at the battle of Arbela in October, 331 B. c. The fourth Kingdom to succeed was Rome. foupded about 162 B. C., and which remained a universal kingdom until the fourth cen tury, A. D., and then 1t was divided into 10 kingdoms. The speaker dwelt for the most part upon the second and seventh chapters of Daniel
 The Adventists extend a general invita- tion to all to attend these meetings, and should my desire to come and spend the entire day they will find dining tent on the ground at which they can be served. or they could bring lunch with them and eat 1t in the pleasant grove.

Tenets of AdventIsts.

At the II o'clock hour Prof. J. E. Ten ney preached on the subject taken from Luke xii: 4-4S The speaker began his discourse by referring to the work of Seventh Day Adventists as being the outcome of prophecies pointing to the last days, and the certainty of the mes sage to be given to the people, in order that they may be prepared to meet the Lord when he shall cope to earth the second time, without sin, unto saliva tion." He said that from the scriptural prophecies and the record that is being made day by day, showing the fulfillment of this prophecy, the fact may be de- duced that we are living in the last days of this worlds history. He spoke of the tenets and teachings of Seventh Day Ad- ventists as suggested by the name of the denominations; first that they are "Ad- ventists" because they believe in and are preparing for the second coming of Christ the preaching. of this part of the gospel Is made prominent in their work
 Next, in harmony with the fourth com mandment of the decalogue it is main- tained that Saturday, the seventh day of the week, Is the Sabbath of the Lord. and is binding upon all who profess to be children of the Lord

Some of them are maKlng a joifr- ney that will at last terminate In the eternal realms of everlasting salvation vouchsafed to the true believer and over conner. Others are making their journey to the everlasting destruction which will finally come to all the impenltent." El- der Horton took up the subject from this point in a doctrinal way, showing
