Speeches Made

Evangelist D. R. Piper of Eutaw deliv- cred an address on Money and the King dom." pr. c. F. Moore, brother of the Rev. A. R. Moore, and from West Point, Miss, was next announced to speak on Christian Literature" In the course of his treatment of this topic, Dr. Moore alluded to the press of the country in terms of both criticism and commenda- tion, that caused a mild sensation. The speaker lamented the fact that the churches are not given more publicity through the newspapers than they now receive, and expressed regret that the class of news handled by them did not always pertain to religious or scientific papers high compliments and indorsed their methods of publication and use as a factor in public education.
 The temperance committee, which was named Tuesday, submitted the following report yesterday morning, which was adopted by the cooperation:
 Resolved, first. That we, as Christian citizens of Alabama, stand against any and every effort to force upon our citi- 
 upholding this traffic.
 Resolved, second, That we, as body, p,edge ourselves to work against the en- actment of all laws favorable in any way to this traffic, by speech, by vote and by prayer.
 Resolved, third, That our sons, our neighbours sons, and the boys who live around the corner, be shown the awful effects of strong drink on body, soul and spirit; that our preachers present it, our members talk it Jour parents instill it into their children until evil men feel the result of our labors, Satan be put to shame, and the great victory be won for ruth and righteousness.
 Resolved, fourth, That we request our national representatives to favor the pas sage of bill prohibiting the collecting of internal revenue taxes on all forms of alcohol; especially so in all prohibition territory"

Afternoon Meeting

The passing of the temperance report closed the morning session and at 2:30 o'clock the afternoon meeting, which was principally conducted by the womens Auxiliary of the National Board of Chris ton Missions and the Junior Christian Endeayor society, was opened by devo- tional services.
 The president of the Alabama Christian Womens Board of Missions, Mrs. A. R. Moore of this city, presided and the first number of the afternoon was the report of the secretary, Mrs. Ethel Pattilo of Hartsele, Ala. This report quoted the financial and membership standing of the womens societies of missions throughout the state. Mrs l.. M Omer of West Point, Ga, addressed the session upon The March of Christian Missions
 one of the most interesting as well as practical educative demonstrations of the cooperation was the reproduction of Junior Christian Endeavor meeting yes- terday afternoon by the members of this under the direction of the superintend- ent, Miss Elizabeth Earnest. The En- deaVor schedule was carried out with prayer and songs by children between the ages of 8 and 15 years with the theme of "Daniel" for discussions and readings James Moore, eldest son of pr. A. R. Moore of this city, delivered an address on 'The Value of the Christian En- deavor" during the meeting. This closed the afternoon session.
 Last evening the Christian Endeavor prayer service, conducted by Branch Tarpley of this city, was substituted for the customary devotional open ing. John H. Booth, secretary of the society of church extension, an organiza ton that advances funds to gregations for the erection of their churches as a loan, spoke on "The Value of a Church House." The pledges ro, the maintenance of next years work in Alabama in the evangelistic and mission department were made after the deliverance of strong plea by the Rev. Howard BraZelton, pastor of the First Christian church of Mobile On, This Grace Also" With the invoca- ton of benediction the jubilee was dismissed until s o'clock this morning.

JUST GOSSIP

TALK OF an extraordinary session of
the Legislature being called by Governor
Crothers must be set down to the credit
Tor discredit) of purely irresponsible
gossip. Governor Crothers is not going
to be guilty of any such political stupid
ity, however much he may be urged
thereto by the small fry politicians.
The people would never tolerate the
prostitution of high governmental pre-
negatives to such low-grade partisan
purposes. An extra ordinary session of
the Legislature is contemplated by our
Constitution only for the most extra
ordinary reasons. No such extraordin-
airy reasons exist at the present time
The work of the Good Roads Commits
sion cannot possibly be hampered by
awaiting the converting of the Legisla-
ture on January list, as one and a half
millions of dollars are still at the Com
missions disposal from the last appro-
priation, and as no active work will be
going on during these winter months.
Any attempt, moreover, to estop the
incoming Administrator from a proper
examination and publica alton of the at
fairs of the Commission, would be re-
with the information to which they are
most properly entitled. Any attempt,
further to manipulate nasty legislation
for the mere purpose of preserving to
the Democratic part, the control of
political patronage would only deepen
the disgust of the unbiased public with
that party's management of political af-
fairs, and make more certain its sti lg-
ing rebuke at the next election.
The expense and turmoil incident TO
an extraordinary session of the Legis-
lature are so evidently unwarranted by
any existing circumstances that nobody
would think of seriously entertaining
the thought, except lot of short sight
ed politicians who are hungering ror
spoils" that seem to be fading with
che flowers. These gentlemen would, of
course, sacrifice their party, or any
thing else, for their own present pur-
poses

HAPPY POLITICAL HAPPENINGS

WHILE we are much comfort
ed at the showing made in Tues
days election in our own State, it
may not be amiss to congratulate
our neighbors, particularly our
friends in Philadelphia. Rudolph
Blankenburg's election to the ma
yoralty q that city, over the can
didate OF the Republican Organi-
cation, calls for the glad applause
OF all good citizens. While a Re-
publican in National politics, MIR.
Blankenburg has been known as
the "war-horse OF reform in
Philadelphia municipal affairs,
through a long and very useful
life. His election is a deserI ed
tribute to his high, standing as a
citizen and is a just rebuke to the
neutrality-suspicious. OF that great
city. Mr.. Earle's personal char
acter and brilliant intellect could
not cajole the people of Philadel-
Phia into forgetting the political
gang which stood back OF his can
didacy-and this is not a healthy
season for political gangs. Hence
Phlladelphia's delivenance from
the charge of being corrupt and
contented.
