PROGRAMS ARRIVING
WILL. FIGHT FOR DIR. PHILLIPS AS
 THE PRESIDENT.
National Educational Association Meets in Cleveland June 20-July g and Aiabamfans are Mak-
 ing Ready For It. 68

Prominent educators in Alabama are receiving copies of the official program of the fifty-sixth annual convention of the National Educational Association to be held in. Cleveland. Ohio. June 2s- July 8, this year. There will be an unusually large delegation from Ala barna on this occasion.
 Those Alabamians who expect to go are organizing themselves for nght they are going to make for the can tiidacy of pr. J. H. Phillips,s superin- tendent of the Birmingham public schools, for President of the National Association. pr. Phillips Is known to be a prominent factor in the sessions of the national body. It Is believed that his chances are good for election to the head of the association In Cleve- land this year.
 The teachers of Alabama believe so strongly in the chances and recoBnis ton of Dr. Phillips on this score that at the last annual convention Of the Alabama Educational Association in Montgomery a resolution calling for the united effort of the Alabama del- egation in behalf of presenting his name for the position was passed. Tn accordance with this resolution, . committee has been named which will direct it's efforts especially to land pr. Phillips in the coveted honor.
 It might. be added that pr. Phillips's friends, more than he, are behind this movement. It is hoped that the eff forts, if they fail directly this year, will practically assure his election to the position the next year following. This committee Is composed of the following: Hon. J. W. Amercrombie, president of the University; State Su- perintendent of Education Harry C.. Gunneis; former State Superintendent Isaac W. Hill; c. W. Daughette, Dr. B. J. Baldwin and W. E.. Striplin.

He suddenly changed His order and cried. "Rise! Let us be going" Not in the sense of effecting an escape, but to advance toward His would be cap tors. Tn a lofty spirit He challenged the armed throng in the words. Whom seek yer" And when they replied. "Je- sus the Nazarine." He instantly &C., knowiedged His identity. Before that He had allowed the traitor to salute Him. Hall. Masterr and to kiss Him not once. but to cover Him with kisses, as the word signifies. only remonstrat- ing in the words. Judas, with A kiss deliverest thou up the Son of Man7 No imperiled leader ever shielded his followers more considerably. He thought not of Himself. but of them. asking that they might be allowed to retire. The prostration of those near est the person of Jesus need not be con- sidered miraculous. Parallels are not wanting. as. for example. in the case of Mark Antony and Avidius Cassius Tn the almost riotous moment that fol- lowed, Jesus considerably offset for Peter the disastrous consequences of his rash deed in wounding the high priests servant. It was perhaps on ac- count of this piec of sword-practice that Jesus was subjected to the further indignity of being bound like com- mon felon--"And so they led Him away"
 The Teachers Lantern.
 Of all historical leaders. Jesus had the most unfaithful followers. Thomas doubted him. Peter denied him. Judas betrayed him. and all at the crucial moment forsook him and fled.
 But 1t admits of question--consider- ing their increased advantages. the clearer perception of the nature and glory of his Kingdom. and the nineteen centuries demonstrative of the truth and utility of his doctrine--wh ether present-day disciples are more loyal to their Master than the first twelve he called.
 Are not the very faults of the twelve l typical of the faults in current disci- pleship-doubting betraying. forsak- ing?
 They are not wanting apolosfsts for Judas-whately. De ouincey. W. W. Storey. The argument Is that Judas only intended to force Jesus to exert the Divine power which he knew he had. But assuming the premise. one can reach any conclusion he desires. The premise here asumed is that Judas was a well-meaning man, whereas the record affirms him a thief. 
 The treason of Judas is the blackest crime of history. It seems incredible. when the privileges of his intimate as- sociation with Jesus are considered. It
 was not. however. a rash act. result
 of sudden temptation. It was the na- tural denouement of insincerity. It
 was one of the shocking evils of which | the love of money is the root. +
 The unworldly character and bearing | of Jesus is conspicuous. When men | sought to enthrone him. he evaded
 them; when they were bent upon cruci- fyfnR him, he advanced to meet them +
 The minute particularly of this ac- | count reveals the eye-witness. The | exact composition of the band which Judah conducted Is givens their aceou- | trements described; the words of Je- | sus's challenge, and the response; the | weapon; the exact spot where the
 wound was inflicted; tps names of both | parties.

 Immediately on the receipt of the above letter, Justice Young commu- nicated with the sheriff's department and representatives were sent to the negro undertaking establishment on Dexter avenue. Here 1t was learned that the member of the firm, J. H. Arlington who had waited upon Ken- nedy was absent but would return shortly. Word was left for him to come immediately to the jail that he might make a complete Identification.
 At the jail later Harrington told the sheriff that man of kennedy,s store and had requested that he be shown five collins. On being closely questioned about the number of ycof-s fins. the man had become alarmed and left without buying. Since hearing of the fire of Sunday. Harrington stated that the number of victims of the Are had aroused a suspicion in his mind, and he had therefore written the let- ter to the justice of the peace.
 Harrington was taken to the cell in which Kennedy is lodged and others of the sheriff's department remained out of sight. Harrington approached the cell and asking for Kennedy in quired:
 "No," replied Kennedy.
 s'yvhy don't you remember coming into my store on Dexter avenue and ask ing for five coffins?' inquired Harrins- ton.
 nedy. s
 On this reply several of the sheriffs deputies came into view, and Kennedy attempted to take back what he had said. He denied vigorously that he had burned his own house, but ad- mftted that he had been in the neigh borhood after dark on the same night of the fire. He said that someone on a road not far from the city had told him of the fire, saying that the fire men were just about returning to their stations.
 Harrington, however. positively identified Kennedy as the man who had entered his store with the request for coffins, saying that he would know him anywhere
 The sheriffs department is eminent ly satisfied with the letter to the Justice of the Peace and Harrington's complete Identification of Kennedy. It is said that on this Identification and the attempt to buy collins the evidence against Kennedy is over- whelming, and if proven in court will at once convict. If the evidence of the attempt to buy collins is established, other evidence to the effect that Ken nedy had made repeated threats of getting even" with his wife will have great weight, as 1t will be shown that Kennedy planned his revenge many days before the deed was actually committed.
