 The convention was a success from every standpoint" he said. 'The attend ance was large, enthusiasm was mani fested by everyone and thu interest seems to be growing in the Christian Endeavor work. Much credit'is to be given to MT. Carl Lehman, international field secre- tary, who has devoted the past two months to building up Christian En- deavor in Alabama.

UNIQUE SERVICE Al
 FIRST METHODIST
BEERS OF CONGREGATION TO TELL THINGS FOR WHICH THEY ARE GRATEFUL TO GOD

The revival at the First Methodist great spiritual power At yesterday mornings service, after a number of songs, led by c. P Curry, Mr. Brown gave the congregation an opportunity to tell of the things for which they were grateful to God With glad hearts and ready tongues the congregation respond ed. Sometimes there were several trying to get the floor at the same time. Scores and scores of people praised God for the blessings they had received during the meeting. Towards the close of the service the pastor arose and said that he thanked God that he had lived to see the day when the men and women of the church in testimony meeting would talk so gladly and freely as not to give the preachers present an opportunity to get fin word. MT. Brown had intended preaching but as the hour was consumed in this praise service he omitted the ser mon and called for penitents. Many came forward.
 At night the theme was What Shall Do With Jesus?' The evangelist said that in sense all men occupied the same relation toward Christ as Pilate. We must make some disposal of His claims,' he said. What will we do with Jesus? There are some who would say. Away with Him, Pilate. others still would say we will crown Him but not today, we will wait for a more con- venient season. Those who are truly wise will accept Him as the Christ the Qop Of God tho Savior nf ft<a Arll
 There were a number of conversions at the close of the service. It was a good day for the revival The meetings continue through the week, services at 10 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. There will prob ably be a mass meeting for women Thursday afternoon and service for children Saturday.

EXPECT HOT TIME
 UP IN THE SEVENTH H. G. Ashley Sees Victory for
 Republicans DEMOCRATS ARE DIVIDED Collector of Port of Mobile Says Amend- ment Fight Left Sores Among Democrats-Win Take Long
 Time to Hael
DEMOCRATS ARE DIVIDED

According to II. Gordon Ashley, a staunch republican who votes in St. Clair county but is now a collector of warm politics in the Seventh district this fall''
 He says that the democrats are up in the air, and that the amendment fight has so divided their ranks that he ex- poets to see the republican party, with Its allies and recruits, defeat them all along the line.
 MT. Ashley arrived last night, and will meet Judge John Curtis of Winston and F. B. McNaron here today. This is a committee appointed by the district com- mittee to set the date for the republican convention in the Seventh district, which has been called to convene in Cullman. They will probably select day in the latter part of May or the first of June. Nearly all of the counties have already selected their delegations.
 "The republicans, and many democrats, are remaining out of the democratic pri- mary" he said yesterday. "The amend ment fight left the democratic party sore. The leaders for the amendment were all leaders of the democratic party. and they were so bitter in their campaign that they left rancor in the hearts of many.
 Then, too, the action of the state democratic committee in leaving Bur nett's name off the state ticket has caused great deal of bad feeling among democrats who feel that they are being left out of the party. However, Bur nett's name will appear on all the county tickets.
 Tt looks like Howard for Congress. He has already announced his candidacy in opposition to Burnett, as an independent and asked for republican indorsement. Most of the county republican organiza- tions have already indorsed him, and fl seems probable that he will get the In. dorsement of the convention.
 "The fusion ticket will play havoc with the democrats in my county, St. Clair We have our beat primaries next Satur- day. I believe that practically every democratic nominee will be defeated"
