INITIAL SERMON BY
 DR. J. H. FOSTER Mission of the Church Is In
 Christ's Purpose NEED FOR CONSIDERATION New Pastor Says He Has No Plans to Announce, But "This Day Re-
 consecrates Ills Life to
 Christ's Service"
NEED FOR CONSIDERATION

The First Presbyterian church was crowded to capacity at the morning serv- Ice yesterday when pr. J. & Foster de- livered his first sermon as pastor. Dr. Foster is man of very pleasant features and address.
 He said that he had no plans to an- nounce. but laid emphasis upon his belief that in the lifting up of the Savior before men as the embodiment of Gods glory lies the divine welfare and true glory of man," and in closing he said, service.'
 He held up before the spiritual eye of the congregation Christ slain for sin," as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, and he thought the mission of the church to have all its purposes in cluded in Christ's purpose, that His cause should be the one consuming pas- sion. "oniy as you and consecrate our lives to the blessed Master will we re- ceive the reward"
 Dr. Foster made vivid comparison of the heather conception Of Gods relation to man, showing the difference between the fearful deity of anger and the Father and Friend of the Christian, and how Christ reveals the Father "who, in the person of His Son. became flesh, who sacrificed Himself for us.''
 Another point was that the uplifted Christ is Gods answer to the problem Of sin. '"The cry of the world Is, How may man be just with God and Christ cries, Hearken unto me and I will give you the divine answer to the problem of iniquity.'
 "In his sacrifice we see Gods love, and Gods work for men, that no separa- ton will be the lot of those who receive His sacrifice. Mercy and truth met to- gether, righteousness and peace kissed each other at the cross. If God be for us, who can be against us? A con- viction of the pardon of sin is what the world wants and finds in the sacrificing Christ"
 Dr. Foster also asserted the uplifted secular favors. -As we honor Him, He honors us and our lives.' For this req son he entered a plea for the power of conservation of all ths members of the church, adding ''This day I reconsecrate my life to Ills service.
 Nothing you have done Or may do will be a substitute for your fidelity. Keep woridliness out of your hearts. Live life of sacrifice and prity Sea an ex- ample of all godliness and holiness Of living. that the glory of God may abide upon this union. We must conquer the many difficulties which confront us, and with the thrill of victory jet us not for get that the work is the Lords. We have the promise that our work will not be in vain in the Lord.'

CITY MAY PLAN
 TO BUILD ROADS
County Bond Issue Would Not Now Bs So Popular, But City Bond ls-
 sue Might Carry.

The good roads situation in Jefferson county has entirely changed since Greater Birmingham became effective. There is not now so keen a desire on the part of the good roads advocate to have county bond issue of sl00o.000 to expend on the public highway as under the state law this money could not be expended inside municipalities. .
 Since Birmingham Is now such large part of the county, with 55 miles of coun- ty roads Inside her borders and miles of streets and roads which need improve iiient far worse than the roads in the outside county. the people of Birming- ham would probably oppose such bond issue in the county as long as some of the city roads are in such bad condi- ton.
 However, according to the plans of Mayor O. Brien. 1t is understood that such bond issue may be presented for the city proper and would no doubt prove popular.
