that the buildings erected for the
livestock exhibit at the A. Y u.

Montgomery Sunday School workers were plainly taken back when w. C, Pearce, of Chicago, of international note in Bible work, told them in a conference at the First Baptist Church Friday night that saloons have a vir-
 tue which churches lack, and that Ii
 there were not some good in saloons

 America long ago.
 You live in a prohibition State.
 said MT. Pearce "and am glad of 1t
 but don't you know that so long as
 bright, cheerful saloons offer com radeship that churches have not, they
 will continue to draw stronger from
 the ranks of our young men than ever churches and Sunday Schools will?" MT. Pearce wittily remarked that some churches are too firmly united

 works and the resultant good Of both that Is substantial.
 MT. Pearce urged organization as an essential to the success of Bible study and all Sunday School work, and he expressed qualification over the grow ing cooperation of men and women in
 the work. Here he illustrated the change with an anecdote that pleased his hearers.
 "When was a young man on the

 The fire occurred Wednesday night. when three bales of seed cotton and 160 bushels of corn were destroyed. The burned products were stored in an out-house of a negro tenant on the plantation of William McLendon. on the Chattahoochee River. in Russell County.
 Deputy Sheriff Reeves returned to Montgomery Friday night. He reports that his expenses were defrayed by the Russell County farmer, who real ly entertained small hope of tracing the supposed criminals. but believed the money well spent If 1t succeeded in warning the bad" negroes of the vicinity.

 The constitution of State should be as sacred from the tampering as is the decalogue which remains unchang- ed since first given to man. The dec alogue is sacred in the history of mor- als and ethics and as the decalogue is to the church so Is the constitution to the temporal government.
 Constftution Invielate.
 The constitution should remain in- violate, untouched, guaranteeing the rights and liberties of the people until the end of time. and 1t should not lightly be changed to suit the purposes of them that would change 1t for one reason or another.
 Another lesson to be learned from the recent election is that the people of this great State are learning thai It is far greater honor to be citi. zen of great commonwealth than tt be an aristocrat of a small class. but yet 1t Is great pity that there are yet e0,000 or 10000 men In Alabama wht deliberately sacrificed their right oi suffrage rather than pay the small sun of money necessary to procure pol tax receipt which qualities them tt vote. For my own part. rather thar sacrifice the right Of suffrage. Ishoult sooner give up my life.
 For the church to interfere in poll. tice is. in my opinion, serious inis. take. The church should, point out errors. designate the right. but should never actively enter the field of poll. ties to array brother against brother and father against son. The church ana An fo 4 the church must abstain from array ing itself in partisan issues.
 Good Men vflihed.
 CT have been told that men who have helped to build up the State of Ala. bama and to raise 1t to its present high position in the family of States have been vilified by speakers from the pulpits of more than one denomi. nation as well as from the electioneer. ing platform. If such Is true. it is to be deplored. do not know if such is the fact, for was not deeply enough interested in the recent campaign to attend the speeches of either side. for in my mind there was never a doubt as to my duty of how to cast my vote I had hoped from the beginning that the constitution of Alabama would re- main unchanged.
