BOTH SUN AND MOON
APPEAR UNNATURAL

''The appearance of the sun has been
unusual this afternoon" said Jack Earle
yesterday. For the last few days there
has been something peculiar about the
sun and moon, and have heard that this
phenomenon Is due directly to the ap-
proaoh of the HALEY comet.
1.-THE sun Is much smaller and it's light
is considerably weaker than II was a
short time ago. And 1t appears to be OF
red color instead of the yeIlowish color
usually seen. Its light is weakened so
much that In the latter part of the after
noon one can look straight at it without
the light hurting the eyes.
THE moon is much the same way 1t is
smaller and it's light weaker The color is
changed, too, to a redder shade, and the
usual pale yellow is gone. The SUPPOSE
ton Is that this is due to a gas which ac-
companies the comet, and is beginning Il,
envelop the earth. This gas so effects
the rays of the sun and moon that they
appear changed

IMMENSE THRONGS
AT HOLYCOMMUNION
ST. PAUL's CHURCH CROWDED AT
THE DIFFERENT MASSES-THE
VARIOUS SOCIETIES OF THE
PARISH ATTEND

The Easter masses at st. pauls were
attended by congregations that taxed
the seating capacity of the large edi-
fee. The faithful receiving holy COM
munion was unusually large.
The church was filled at $50 O'Clock
and owing to the unusually large num-
Der receiving holy communion the time
for the second mass had arrived be-
fore the first mass was over. A large
crowd, extending to the middle of the
street, stood patiently In front of the
church, Whiting for the first congrega-
ton to come out The Knights of Co.
lubus, the Children of Mary and several
other societies attended under their re-
spective banners and received holy com
munion. The Rev. Father CoyIe was
the celebrant at the two early masses
and at each delivered short sermon
fitting to the Easter festival He was
also the preacher at the childrens
mass at o'clock. The high mass at
1890 o'clock attracted another great
crowd. The Rev Father Edgar. o. S.
b.. was the celebrant at and at 1880
and at the last mass he preached the
sermon. The choir sang a beautiful
mass by Lajael. Davidson's orchestra
assisted the choir and the music was
greatly enjoyed.
Evening devotions were conducted by
Father Coyle.

.SYRIANS NOW HAVE
PERMANENT PRIEST

The Syrian colony of Birmingham in
creases steadily. A few years ago II num-
bered only about $50 souls. The number
now is stated at 500 or more.
The Syrans are members of the Cath
Ole church, but their services are not
in Latin as is the case with the bulk of
Catholic christendom owing allegiance
to the Pope. They have what is known
as the Maronite rite, SAID to be some
thing like the Chaldaic rite. For
merly visiting priest of the Mxronits
rite came during Easter tide TO minister
to the Syrians, but Bishop Allen has re-
Gently provided them with a permanent
pastor. The Rev. Father Bahama, .
Maronite, is celebrating mass regularly In
st. Pauls parochial school house. A con-
gregation has been duly organized and
the services are well attended
The Rev Father Coyle said yesterday:
Our Syrian citizens are good staunch
Catholics. Father Bahama. who has be-
come their. pastor, is a finely educated
priest. He speaks English we'll and win
do an excellent work here. The Syrians
will soon have a house of worship Of
their own. The name of their local
church organization is st. Elias. and that
will be the name of their church,"

''Sun of my soul, may no earth cloud
arise to hide Thee from Thy servants
eyes!"
Both music and sermon at the First
Presbyterian church last night served
to dispel the Christians doubt and TO
strengthen his wavering allegiance. DR..
j. s. Foster carried his congregation
back to the dark hours when the dis
ciples struggled against their doubts,
here their narrow vision of an earthly
kingdom toppled over, and gave them
the beautiful picture of the risen Christ,
standing by the water and telling his
faint-hearted disciples to cast their
net on the other side
Dr. Foster related the many times
when Christs best loved lost hope, de-
MED Him and faltered in their faith.
This. he said, is the course of Christian
experience. Recalling the first moment
when the tenderness and majesty OF

EASTER SERVICES
AT THE ADVENT

At the Church of the Advent the Eas-
ter services were full of interest and
the music was especially attractive. The
first communicative celebration with
out music-was at 1880 o'clock and was
largely attended. High celebration at
II o'clock attracted the usual over
flow crowd. Chairs and benches were
placed in the spaces near the chancel
and near the vestibule.
The rector, DIR. w. E. Evans, conduct
ed both services and at the IL o'clock
service preached a sermon on the resur-
rection of Christ that was referred to
by those who heard it as one of his
ablest efforts.
In the afternoon there was Sunday
school celebration. The children
marched with banners from the parish
house to the church. TIL cir exercises
included many beautiful hymns and 1t
was a most joyous occasion for the lit
tie folks, and was edifying to the teach
ers and other men and women who
looked on.
The church was profusely decorated.

HEAVY INCREASE IN
INSURANCE POLICIES

at may not be an exactly proper sub
ject for Sunday thoughts, but I have
been thinking all day about the rapid
increase in the life insurance policies in
the SOUTH" said J. Furniss Lee. Men
are taking out policies nowadays that
they would not have dreamed of taking
five years ago. They go In for big
amounts and not only that. but when
they have a large policy with good
sized loan value they make one policy
carry another. 1t is almost like an end
less chain affair and enables a man to
carry an enormous amount of insurance
for the minimum of actual cash outlay"

REMOVE THE CLOUD OF DOUBT

Gods love overcomes the sinner and the
tears of sorrow, for time wasted, are
mingled in joy and song: This is my
story, praising my Savior all the day
long" the pastor said the dark hours
will come when men ask, what Is the
Almighty that we should pray to Him.
Though we be doubling, wavering and
hating, we cannot approve ourselves.
He who willfully falters is not fit for
the kingdom, but for those who put
their confidence in Christ. He is the
tenderest Helper and the most sympa-
thetic friend.
For every man who asks, Does God
care?s the answer comes, gently as the
angels call, Child, l know it ALL" The
only way to maintain an unbroken fell
lowship and effective service is to fol-
low the example of Peter, who "fol-
lowed in His footsteps" with his heart
linked to Christ's heart.

Actual Amount Taken May
Exceed 100000 Before
Noted Banker Pleads Guilty
to Larceny Of This
Booty Was Used for
Speculation and Playing
Markets
Bv Associated Press,

By Associated Press,
New York, Sept. 14.-Adolph Roth
barth of the firm of Martin Rothbarth
& Co., dealers, with Offices in London
and St. Petersburg, pleaded guilty
today to larceny of $4,000 from the
Mercantile National bank, and was
held for trial in equal amount of bail.
He had been under surveillance for
48 hours and his arrest came at noon
after long conference between the
district attorneys Office and coterie
of bankers with whom he had been
dealing.
"Your honor" said the assistant
district attorney in charge of the case,
although the specific sum named in
this complaint is only $4,000. the
actual amount this bank alone has
lost will come to more than 100000,
but I only ask this small bail because
the prisoner has admitted that he did
wrong and promises to afford the
prosecution every aid in his power.
The money went into speculation,
according to Rothbarth's own admis-
sion.
II was squeezed in the panic of
1907" he said, "and began to get
loans from the banks. It was so easy,
that kept on"
