Feast of st. Michael

l In the liturgical churches today is known as Michaelmas-the feast of St Michael In the Roman calendar 1t is styled the Feast of the Dedication of St. Michael.p In the fifth century several large churches were dedicated to St. Mi chael and from about that time began Michaelmas.
 In the Anglican communion the term "All Angels is coupled with St. Micnael- thus. 'The Feast of St. Michael and All Angels This is the familiar phrase in the established Church of England and also in the Protestant Episcopal church in this country. In the principal Catholic churches in this diocese distinctive fea- ture of Michaelmas will be the benedic- ton of the blessed sacrament after the last mass. At St. Paul's church in Bir- mingham there are two week day masses, the last beginning at s o'clock.
 St, Michael the archangel was the patron of the chivalric orders of the cru sade times, and he is today regarded as the defender of Christians in battle. He was the war cry of the good angels in heaven in their combat with Satan and lis hosts. Michael is mentioned several times in Scripture. Daniel says, Behold Mich ae1, one of the chief princes who came to help me-" or words to that effect. Tn the epistle of St. Jude there is reference to Michael disputing with the devil about the body of Moses. According to an an- cient Jewish tradition Michael the arch angel concealed the body of Moses, but Satan disclosed it for the purpose of ''se- ducing Israel to the sin of Slero worship.
 In England Michaelmas is still one of the quarter days for paying rent and settling accounts. Stubble-geese, having reached state of toothsome perfection at this season are served in some families as the principal meat on Michaelmas day. In some of the old Scotch parishes, par ticularly on the Isle of Skye, there are Michaelmas processions along the high ways, and after the procession a huge cake of barley meal is baked. It is called St. NIichael's bannock.
 In this connection all persons in this part of the country who have sehti- ment, regardless of church affiliations. feel an interest in the magnificent stone edifiee at Anniston dedicated to St. Michael-"The Church of St. Michael and all Angels"-of which the Rev. pr. Blacklock is rector. The feast will be especially observed in Annis- ton today. An endowment fund is be- ing raised, l believe, by public spirited citizens for the proper maintenance of the imposing Anniston church. News paper writers sometimes speak of that church as a cathedral, but as the word cathedral is used only for a bishop 8 church St Michael and all Angels" is, therefore, not a cathedral. It is an Episcopal church and the Protestant Episcopal bishop of this diocese has no see church. This splendid structure has a great many art embellishments, and were it situated in New York it would attract attention even in that city of magnificent structures. The Rev. Dr. w. E. Evans. rector of the Church of the Advent in Birmin gham, was at one time rector of "St. Michael and All Angels

Ardent Baseball Fan

There is probably no more ardent baseball fan than Honey Boy George Evans, who is classed among all the prin- cipal players as one of their best little hcosters,' said local fan.
 For many years George Evans, De- Wolf Hopper Francis Wilson, George Conan, Raymond Hitchcock and few other actors of equal prominence moi forgetting Eddie Foy, who has brought his entire family up with a baseball ir one hand and a bat in the other have been welcome spectators at nearly every important game. George Honey Boy Evans has lately come to the front as the champion of all champions baseball fans.
 -"Three seasons ago MT. Evans offered to the player of the National or Amer. ican league teams showing the highest batting average a handsome loving cup The only consideration was that the player must participate in at least :; championship games. Hans Wagner was the happy recipient of this trophy at tht conclusion of the season of 1908. In 190! and 1910 the fortunate victor was Ts Cobb of the Detroit club. sffyt

Timbrels clashed. and all the daugh- ters of Oklahoma lifted hearts and voices to hymn the ex-locomotive fireman Cookies, barkecps, sports, fans, referees, 1Ganagers-all the time keeping bill finger ing, sad eyed brotherhood of the ring siGe facing westward. lifted their coun- tenances on the strapping Sapulpan.

 Hmnl Last night, Jim Flynn, another fireman, but from Pueblo, "thickset, with bull neck and solid underpinning, D walked up to the Oklahoma Giant and punched him hard and often for 10 rounds though before the o.

The Passing of Incorporate Speech

With the gradual return of common sense in dealing with the liquor ques- ton it is to be hoped that the people of Alabama will not be again treated to billingsgate and vituperation as has occurred more or less in the several campaigns beginning in 1907, and in cluding the late local option election here in Jefferson county" said a man experienced in public affairs.
 State pride, common decency and the after effects upon all classes, church. goers and n-church-goers, should be considered in this respect. While pub- plause from those whose passion, prej- udice and imagination are too often ap- peaied to, rather than to their reason and sober judgment, and may win tenn porary success, yet reaction will fol- low from such leadership and appeals. The public speaker who wins his au- dience by logic and truth clothed in plain English or embelished with the flowers of rhetorical eloquence will hold his place amid all the changing | tides of politics and policies. It may be well said that the light of true | intellect is the beacon of liberty; where 1 it lights the way a man may safely follow.
 l And so I reiterate, let us be Ala | bamians with pride for our state, res spect for our fellow citizens opinions 1 though differing from them, and be in the galaxy of states one that may be pointed to, where liberty and law reign and respect is accorded every man however humble.
