Governor Conner was Santa Claus to at, least ten homes of Alabama yester- day when he exercised his executive prerogative of approving pardons and paroles for ten prisoners now confined to hard labor in the State prison. In his endorsement on one of these par dons the Governor stated in unmistak- able terms his ideas on certain parts of the unwritten law.
 This was in the case of Thomas H. Kennedy. who was sent up from Jack son County for i've years on the charge of manslaushter in connection with the killing of J. R. Yount. The Gov srnor's endorsement on this pardon WAS:
 .This man was convicted of an of- fense committed in defense of his homo. Such offenses as this think it right to. overlook, and to pardon the offender SO that he may return to the continued care and protection of his

Gods Fellowship With Need.

Notice that the voice of need is the
voice Of God. That need Is an APP
peal to God, we easily believe. His
tenderness guarantees His notice; but
here Is another attitude OF His love,
and a new emphasis upon its meas
ure. Paul hears the Macedonian Cry
for help, and he and his companions
conclude that they have been listen
ing to the voice of God. They have
not only grasped the idea that the
needy Macedonian has spoken to
God. He Is somehow Gods represent
bounty, but messenger to speak
Gods will. And these heralds Of the
cross, loosing from Troas and cross
ing the Aegean are showing loyal
obedience as we'll as responsive SYM
pathy.
We need to learn that truth more
thoroughly. God has identified Him
self with human need. Surely the
life of the Man of Sorrows teaches US
that. 1t Is what He bids us recog-
nize in His picture Of the judgment.
"Inasmuch as we did 1t unto one OF
the least of these Ny brethren. we did
1t unto Me-" This Is love overpow
ering! Every craving for food in
feeble, furnishing bodies is a con-
tinuance OF His wilderness fasting;
every prison bar OF every pining cap
tive a counterpart Of the letters OF
the savage soldiery in the governors
palace; every shooting pain OF every
diseased frame an addition to the
agony of the crashing nails and pierre
ing thorns on the cross. Eye did 1t
unto Me-" What marvellous state
ment of fellowship!
The condemnation Of the miser-
able victims of selfishness was in the
face that they had not listened to the
pleading of the hungry. suffering
Christ. Now this is the lesson: The
Macedonian need is Gods cry. The
response to the need is obedience to
Him. The failure to respond Is re-
bellion.-"The Captain OF Our
Faith" by Wallace MacMullen, D. D.
