The bird of the air which is seen in the picture and will electrify thousands at the Alabama State Fair beginning Thursday, is already in Birmingham, and is cooped up in a New York Central steel car.
 The greatest precautions are taken to protect the aeroplane, not only because 1t is Ralph Johnstone's favorite, in which he made so many wonderful flights at Boston. but for the reason that upon its being preserved intact from the. smallest screw to the most intricate part of the motor, depends the pleasure of the thou sands of enthusiasts who will come to Birmingham for no other purpose than to see the flights of the most wonderful development of the century.
 The car, which stands in the yards at the Terminal station, is steel through out. It will carry the machine on it's trip through the south. Nearly s10O,0oO

 OF LITTLE MOMENT

After being in Meridian in conference with local officers in regard to the strike of clerks at that point of the Queen and Crescent route, B. T. Steele, freight traffic manager, returned to BirminE- ham yesterday.
 When questioned in regard to the strike status Mir Steele said that while any strike would result in more or less de- moralization, the trains had been moving very well and no delays of serious na- ture had been experienced.
 He stated positively that every desk in the building in Meridian was occupied by a competent clerk and that none of them had so far deserted their posts as inti- mated several days ago.
 "The shippers of this city or those ex- pecting shipments may rest assured of one thng-that no serious delays will result from the strike of clerks on the Queen and Crescent stated Mir. Steele
 'No one would deny that such an af- fair would mar the serenity of daily operations. However, those clerks who tried to strike and who were fired, have been succeeded by competent men from other points the line. They must get in touch with local conditions be- fore every detail will be operating smoothly After the new forces are com pletely organized everything will be work ing we'll"

Jesus the Perfect Definition

.'But however much nature is the sac rament of God, the outward and visible means through which we reach the in- word and invisible spirit of God, not there shall we find the brightest revela- ton and express image of God. It is only when we look into the face of the Son of Man and listen to Him, saying. He that hath seen Me hath seen the father It Is there that we find the high est perfect outward revelation of God. The man Jesus Is in Himself the per- feet definition of the sacrament of God, because He Is the means whereby we are forever made partakers of the eternally invisible spirit of God.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-10-03

Through the sacraments Of our live senses we know and love one another. Destroy these and then the silver chord is oosed and the golden bowl is broken, and we sigh
 70, for the touch of a vanished hand And the sound of a voice that is still.
 "Reigious life without sacraments is not only impossible, but all life would be impossible. Destroy Gods sacraments of nature and we never would have been When we rise to the dignity and the maj esty of the meaning of the churchs sac ramental teaching, we then look for God, for life, infinite or finite, never on the outside of anything-always on the in side of everything. On the outside it is always mechanics-matter and notion the outward and visible sign of the in- ward and invisible spirit, mind and thought of God and man. The astrono- mers may sweep the infinite physical heavens and never find the spirit of God otherwise than as the outward and the visible revelation of His spirit revealed there since creations dawn, and you can dissect the body of man and never find spirit as spirit, but only as spirit reveals itself as body, and no sensible man to- day believes that you ever could. It IS only when we do realize that the outward and visible is the revelation of the in- ward and invisible spirit of God that we for the first time enter the realm of true religion, and If so, then the sacramental teaching of the church contains the very essence of religion, as Coleridge illus trated when he lifted up his eyes and looked upon the staHiers of Mt. Blanc and sang:
 Torrents, me thinks, that heard a
 mighty voice And stopped at once amidst their mad
 dest punge
 Motionless torrents! Silent cataracts. Who made you glorious as the gates of
 heaven
 Beneath the keen full moon? Who bade
 the sun
 Clothe you with rainbows? Who with
 living flowers Of lovellest blue spread garlands at your
 feet?
 God! Let the torrents like the shout of
 nations
 Answer. And let the ice plains echo:

 some voice.
 And they, too, have voice, yon piles of

Five years I was a teacher in your public schools
Four years was County Clerk of your County, and by
your favor Eight years represented your County in
the Oregon State Senate and all that time never for
moment lost sight of the fact that belonged to Polk
County, and that ought to do my utmost to represent
her people with zeal and fidelity Five years OF that time
was teacher in your Normal Schools. leave it for
the people of Polk County say whether not, at all
times gave to the various trusts they reposed in me-
the best that was in me-
The encouragement and the opportunities you gave
me went far toward making of me whatever today
Just now am candidate for Congress, and if I win,
and do not carry Polk County with me- the victory will be
attended with certain degree of disappointment and if
ose and Polk County has stood by me- the defeat will
be shorn of half its disappointment
If am elected to Congress, shall always feel that
Polk County, and her people, stand the very source and
origin of my political life and success.
Entertaining toward you the feeling that do, | can
not but harbor the belief that you may feel reciprocal
toward me, and the Importance of the crisis through
which am passing leads to make this appeal though
under ordinary circumstances it might to oversep
the bounds of propriety.
Hoping to have kindly remembrance at the polls on
