Heavy Rain of Yesterday Makes Pre- dictions of Weather Bureau ns to Alabama River
 Certainty.

When the latest observation at the local ofice of the Weather Bureau was made at o'clock last night. there had been 2.08 inches of rain fallen during the day. From a layman's viewpoint, the downpour measured several more inches after ' o'clock. when the meas urements were stopped.
 Altogether the rain was one of the heaviest. several inches having been registered.
 And with 1t all. the rfver will go to the highest stage of years. according to predictions. With the tiownpour of Tuesday. 1t was foraeasted thatqthe 4o- foot mark would probably be reached: now. in view of yesterdays and last nights rainfall. the prediction is that the river will top even 70 feet.
 The Alabama at Montgomery was steadily rising last night. almost per- ceptibly. There is little doubt that much of the Fillmore County farm land across the river fem Montgomery will be inundated by noon today. for there is little doubt but that the rise will be steady through today. ,-..,.A. "
 The rainfall was heavy to the north and east of Montgomery. as the preci- pitation of yesterday was not entirely local From this. the increment to the Alabama's volume comes.

 day cad Tom0Yr0w. ,4

Rev W. C.. Whitaker. rector of St. Johns Church. Knoxville. Tenn. was the speaker at the monday services at the Majestic Theatre yesterday. In spite of the. rain there was quite a large attendance. . .-.
 Mir. Whitaker was once the rector Of the Church of the. Holy Comforter in this city. and has great many friends here.
 Mr. Whitaker spoke on The Gospel of Christ" passing his remarks. which will be continued today and tomorrow, on Romans. 1, 16, T am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ"
 This Gospel, he said. was different from the gospels which Greece and Rome had given to the world. The goodness of Greece came through prac- tical dealing with the world. Both agreed that man as he is is the ulti- mate satisfaction of man.
 The Gospel of Christ is the Gospel of humanity. but of humanity .gratifed and transfigured. The Messiah of the Jews was "The desire of nations" 'The Unknown God" of the Athenians de- clared the futility of natural theology to satisfy the instinct of worship. Christ was "the Unknown Man. whom humanity had been seeking. The gos- pei of Christ is the Gospel of the per feet man, showing how each man may attain perfect manhood
 This Gospel comes not with grandeur of world Kindness. but 1t clothes pro- found teachipg of humanity Human, ity as it is ts far from perfect, but Its l possibilities are boundless. The Christian religion lifts the doc Urine of man to a higher level, because God was in Christ revealing the world to Himself. We come to Christ just as we are. in order that we may become what we are not. 1io e,'
 And this Gospel Is effective, not ir making life's lessons easier. but Tn making us stronger through learning life's lessons. The future of Christi anity'' in the individual. after 2,0oo | years, can be determined only when we are out wonder with those who Tor l 2.oo0 years have been yielding to the force of the Gospel.
