people OF the nation. when they know
the need and the condition upon
which this $50, 900 building is made
possible, will not fail.
The new trades building will enable
Manassas to take advanced ground
in the realm OF trade school educa

JOHNSON SAYS SKILL
WILL WHIP JEFFRIES
Thousands Greet Negro Champion al
Omaha station, Pathway show
cred with Flowers.

Omaha. Neb.. April 23.-Jsck
Johnson. the colored pugilist. was
given a nGtable reception when he
arrived ia Omaha yesterday. Three
thousand people were at the station
to see the big prize fighter. and maRy
insisted on shaking hands with him
The crowd was so great the police
forced a passaEeway through which
johnson and HIS wife might pass.
AS he walked between walls Of
people he was shOwered with flow
ers. Immense punches OF American
Beauties were presented to Mrs.
Johnson by a little girl.
johnson is not holding JeffEies
too cheaply. he realizes that he has
a big task on his hands, but hopes
that Jenries viii be as good as he
was before he retired. as he wants
the satisfaction OF having whipped
Jeffries when be is at his best.
Mr.. Jehries cannot whip me. '

hard hitter. but ! can hex rings
around him. and ne never will have
chance TO land one Of his nights

They used TO say that you could
not knock him down. continued
Johnson. but that is probably be
cause the men ne met did not have
the punch. I can hit as hard as JEFF
ever did. and when the opportunity
offers itself ] am going 20 let hy. il

there.
some people have said that 7 am
going 20 make a long fight Of IL sC
as 90 tire out Jenries. This Is ali
wrong. No one can talk for me on
that subject. I intend 90 fight him
from the tap Of the bell, but even
these plans may be changed. IL all
depends on how Jenries goes about
his work. Maybe he will want to play
the stalling game and wait for me
20 come 10 him. II this shosld be the
case Jefries viii not have 90 wait

NEED CENTRAL
CIVIC CHURCH
DIR. Eaves Says We Have Been Insist
ing More on Condrct Than
Faith
BY THE REV. DIR GEORGE EAyEs
Pastor Pilgrim congregational Cburc.,

your three questions would. as they
used TO say, puzzle the Quaker" nv
'epiles like his. must take the color of
my general conviction. which is that de-
.oiIiiiiatiohalsm Is outworn and is al
Justlng itself to common sense.
y. Has Birmingham sufficient Num-
Der or churches? Yes. If no more people
are available than attend the existing
churches 1t has too many churches who
are all trying TO do the same thing in the
same way. But the city is growing, and
the churches will multiply. Moreover.
the city is connected SO closely with every
part OF Alabama that its denominational
color Is sure to be a reflection of the
state at large
:. Are they properly distributed? BY
no means. What Is needed for ON, thing
is the stopping Of duplication of work
A wise, consistent federation for eyangel-
Using the city 50 weeks in the year would
perhaps make the present distribution as
well as the present number alike 1usti-
fable
.. What is needed in Birmingham for
the developing of real religious work ?
l should say that an enormous amount
of real religious work is already devel-
oped. as indeed you imply Further de-
velopment, | believe must come by recoe-
nizing and preaching more intensely the
inward fact of the presence of God in ev-
cry life. and particularly in every right
work of life We have been insisting
more on conduct than on faith. and this
Is always dangerous, however necessary.
We emphatically need to know In all our
pews and pu1pits that physical and social
and commercial and civic things are to be
made the holy ground of the Divine pres
ence. Then, out of that conviction will
come tremendous power to work the
works of Christ. l believe a sore need
is a central civic church.

BALLINGER REPORT
WILL SOON BE READY

Washington, December 3.-The report of
the republican members of the Ballnger-
Pinchot investigating committee will be
ready for Congress next week. At the
conclusion of an afternoon conference
of the republicans today Senator Nelson,
chairman of the joint congressional com
mittee. said the report would be COM
pieted and submitted to the full COM
mittee early next week.
Congressman DENLY of Michigan will
reach Washington tomorrow and the re-
publican members will hold another ses-
sion. The democratic members of the
committee, who have already made pub
lie their minority report will also meet
tomorrow. Their programme OF action
has not been fully determined upon.
The democrats will have an oppor-
tunity to see the republican report be-
fore it goes to Congress. The ordinary
procedure will be for the democrats as
soon as the majority report is submitted
to each house of Congress, to offer their
minority report and move that 1t be sub
stituted for the other.

WHAT SHOULD BIRMINGHAM DO
TO DEVELOP REAL RELIGIOUS WORK?
Observation-Disclosures
Excellent As o

one to get anywhere in our city over our
excellent car system
The greatest present need in most of
these churches, | speak from knowledge
only of the Baptist, is an adequate sup
port for competent ministry The cos'
OF living in Birmingham is so great that
small churches are not able to maintain
the men needed for their service in con-
diticns of reasonable comfort and eff
cheney of life This would be remedied
TO good degree if the churches had
parsonages, but very few rave homes
Tor their minister's and rents are very
nigh in Birmingham. So nest of our
smaller churches do not keen the min
listers long enough for them to get hold
on the situations to develop the churches.
anG our larger churches expect one man
TO do work equal to two mems ca
paeity. We need a more efficient min
istry, but present conditions render its
attainment practically impossible.
|, Inc greatest need for the development
OF religious work of all kinds is an en-
llstnent of more people in contributing to
1t either in money or, what is better, per-
sonal service. In population of 1901 900
an confident not more than 25,000 make
any perceptible contribution in any way
TO the religious life of the community.
DOUBT whether We have 60,00c people In
greater Birmingham who attend on the
regular worship of the church of their
preference one or more times a year and
lew OF the remaining realize that they
get any personal benefit from the re-
ngious culture of the community, but OF
course they are unconsciously and in
directly greatly blessed by the religious
ieaven in the social life they share.
VIC need just now a campaign for en-
hstlng the unchurehed mass in attending
ana having part in the churches OF
thelr preference, and no public agency
can lead such movement better than
our daily papers, especially m their Sun
DAY editions. II The Age-Herald shall see
It's way clear to lead in such a campaign
think | can assure 1t of an apprecative
ana cordial cooperation of all churches
and ministers of every name.

made to get this street opened, but so
far the city and the owners of ground
needed for the purpose have failed to
agree on terms to bring it about. The
city claimed the street and tried to
enforce its alleged rights in the courts,
but the courts ruled in favor of the
present occupants. Just what the next
step will be is uncertain, but doubtless
some sort of a compromise will be eff
feoted.

RAILROAD MAY LOSE
LEASE IN GEORGIA

Atlanta, December 9.--Unless the Nash.

lessee of the Western and Atlantic road(

matter of freight rates between Atlanta
and Chattanooga, 1t. may become the
duty of the governor of Georgia to void
the lease and take over the railroad
property.
The railroad commission, at its meeting
today, decided the lessees were not COM
plying with the terms of the lease and
will Immediately certify the case to Gov
ernor Brown for whatever action he may
deem advisable.
Complaint is based on the alleged fact
that the Nashville, Chattanooga and st.

rates to shipments from points in Geor-
gia to Chattanooga, in many instances
higher than the local rates. which are
fixed by the Georgia railroad commits
sion, the charges being filed by the At

BIG TABERNACLE
NEEDED IN CITY
would Reach Large Portion of Popu-

Religious Influences
by HEv. A. ID. GLASS
Pastor EIyfou baptist Church

In answer to your question as to the
number OF churches in our great city OF
1872, 6S6 population, I think we need more
church facilities. II all our churches OF
all denominations and races were filled TO
capacity we would have more people not
accommodated by large per cent than
we are now able to care for. And this
condition calls for great activity In
church extension in many localities of our
city.
Birmngham's greatest need is great
downtown tabernacle convention church
that all could use In our convention meet
ing. A church of this character would
reach large portion of our population
that none of us are now reaching.
AS to the last part Of your inquiry to
build and develop our people In Christian
work. we need to do practical religion.

preventative mission for orphan girls, Il
