Birmingham's uiIding Boom

"Birminghssn Is now experiencing the greatest building boom in its history, in all lines of construction; office buildings, fireproof hotels, apartment houses, whole sale blocks. retail stores and residences. The Hotel Tutwiler and the Hotel Roden will supply want that has long been felt, and will doubtless attract to Bir- mingham much travel that has heretofore passed us by.
 ''The city commissioners are hampered by lack of revenue, and have to prac- tice severe economies, especially In the police and street departments. and in the public schools. Birmingham area is 50 square miles, and the expense Of civic maintenance in so large territory is enormous. The best solution of the municipal financial problem appears tc lie in a separate taxing district for the city of Birmingham, so that revenues col lected within it's limits may be expended therein; a fair division, of course, being made with the county for the expense Of holding courts and for bond interest
 In no other way can large increase in taxes be avoided
 "The pending presidential campaign is still having little if any effect upon gen eral business conditions, and will prob- ably not be appreciably felt. The Ameri- can people have for some years past breathed an atmosphere of perennial politics, so that the quadrennial race no longer exerts so distracting an influence upon business as formerly.

BUSINESS SHOWING
 EXCELLENT VOLUME
Building Boom Greatest in
 City's History
COAL DEMAND IS GOOD
More Optimism Concerning Alabama Consolidated and Southern Steel Merger-City Hampered By
 Lack of Revenue

The First National banks monthly re view of financial and commercial condi- tions follows:
 April l. 1912
 ''rhe first quarter of the year 1912 closes with an increasing volume of business in evidence This Is reflected by the gain in bank clearings, which over the entire country, shows an increase for the month of February or more than half billion dollars over the same month in 1911. Comparisons for the same period show heavy increases In both exports and imports. and the gross earnings of fifty prominent railroad systems for the month of February show gain of s6,o0000o over the same month in the previous year, or about 10 per cent.
 "rhe car surplus has disappeared. and out of the small number of cars idle, comparatively few of them are actually fitted for immediate use. Production of pig iron is increasing and firmer prices are noted. Current quotations are $l050 for No 3 foundry, and local producers are not seeking any business for the last quarter at less than S11. The demand for coal is much better than Is usual at this season of the year, due partly to the severe winter, which has depleted stocks of domestic coal in yards. and partly to greater industrial activity.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-31
Textile Strike Settled

"The textile strikes have been gen erally settled, and the cotton mills seem to have entered upon a new era of pros- perity There is a large demand for goods at fairly satisfactory prices, and the enormous crop of cotton produced in 1911 gives the mills large reserve stock of raw material upon which to draw. The final ginning returns of the census bureau show total production of 16, 050.S19 bales. The Financial Chronicle reports that the movement in sight and spinners takings to March 22 amounted to 13,29639l bales, of which amount B. 79356S bales have been exported to Great Britain and the continent.
 The past winter has been unusually severe, and there has been a heavy and continuous snowfall in the northern ag- rlcultural areas. Consequently, winter wheat is in fine shape, and all through the corn and wheat belt the condition of the soil was never better. Throughout the cotton belt, farming operations are backward. owing to the constant rainfall. and fertilizer sales have been much lighter than year ago The coming month however, will undoubtedly wit ness great activity In the cotton growing regions, through which section business has been dull for the past 9o days.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-31
Situation in Coal Fields

"The British parliament has passed the minimum wage bill and indications are now favorable for an early settlement of the great coal strike in England. In the United States no wage agreement has yet been reached in the anthracite regions and temporary shut down in those districts appears to be inevitable. There Is reason to believe, however, that any suspension of operations will be for short time only The threatened strike in the bituminous fields of the middle west appears to have been averted by mutual concessions on the part of opera tors and miners, but there will prob ably be d brief shut down pending ratifi- cation by the miners.
 "A member of the Alabama Consolid- Southern Iron and Steel merger committee stated within the last week that about one half of the amount neces- sary to make the merger effective had been underwritten by a responsible bank ing firm in New York. and that the re- mainder had been subscribed in London, conditioned upon the settlement of labor troubles in Great Britain, and expressed the opinion that within the next sixty days the merger would either be consum- mated along the lines already announced or else that some other effective plar would be arranged should the Englisi underwriting be withdrawn

Joy and Service.

No nan is c~onquerable until the
Joy of serving his cause has been
driven out of his heart. Nehemiah
expressed a fact that is undoubtedly
often quoted by those who have not
experienced it, and often experienced
by those who never have quoted it,
when he said to the people, The joy
of the Lord Is your strength" AS
long as religion is a joy in the life
it will not be parted with. and its de-
mands will not be d~isobeyed. Chang
ing it about, when n is obedient and
loyal with his whole heart there will
be enthusiasm and JOY in his life.
Joy and service go together in mutual
h~elpfulness. When one knows he is
with Christ and Christ with him. he
will sing songs in the night, though
his feet be in the stocks and his
lacerated back on the rough dungeon
floor. When one sees the promises of
God with clearer vision than the OBJ
stacles of the world, when he realizes
that he is following an unconquer-
able leader from whose love no power
known to mans reason or magma
ton is able to separate him; then
there is no night SO dark, nor pain
SO keen, nor disappointment so bitter
that his soul will not exu't In God
through it all, and he will march on
with undated zeal and vigor. Like
Christ, for the Joy that is set before
him he will endure the cross and de-
spise the shame.

A PRAYER.


Our Father, w thank Thee that
Thy kingdom Is not unknown among
men, and that Thy government of love
aud righteousness is ever winning the
world to wider allegiance to Thee,
through Thy Son Jesus Christ. Nay
We not stand outside the gates, or re-
main Indifferent to the claims and
privileges and duties of Thy rule upon
earth. We thank Thee that Thy law
is love everlasting and that Thy Spirit
is eve moving in the world to draw
the hearts of men to Thee. Make us
useful in Thy service and forbid that
we should in any way by our sin
check the growth of the kingdom in
our own souls, or its spread in glad
news of salvation to others. In Jesus
name we pray. Amen.

charted PRAYERS.

If you have had experiences in the
prayer meeting of some of our sister
churches, doubtless you have heard
earnest prayers offered for blessings
which seemed to you quite the sort
least needed by the petitioner. Oh,
would some power the giftie gle us, to
see our selves as the good Lord sees
us! Most of us know what we want.
and what we wish. but not always
what we need. Perhaps our eminent
psychologists. who already assume to
tell III our characteristics and apti-
tudes, and therefore our potential vo-
cations will soon be able to make
out for each of us a list of suitable
petitions; and each will learn his own
prayer-zone, thus charted for him. and
will keep within it.-Christian Regis

THOUGHTS OF A
GREAT PREACHER
Short Analysis of Ideas Taken
From the Writings of the
Late C. H. Spurgeon.

NHAINED in Satan's boat, you are
swiftly gliding down the stream
~ to ruin, and because it is
smooth, you dream hat it is
safe! What is the difference between
the saint and the sinner? Not that in
the saint there is no sin. Not that in
the sinner there is never a thought
about God. The difference is this
that the saint is overcoming his sin;
but the sin is overcoming the sinner.
Oh, what a terrible thing If sin have
the upper hand. No hidden mama"
is yours. The symbols of religion you
may look at, but real religion must be
a stranger to you You know not its
enjoyment. You do not taste it. 1t
is a hidden thing. Heaven, too. will
be hidden. You hear of it's gates Of
pearl-but they will never open to
you. You may catch the distant &C.
cents of its songs-but in those songs
you will eve join. And that white
stone" cannot be yours. You have no
joyful anticipation OF heaven-but a
fearful looking-for of fiery indigna-
tion-or else the insensate resolve not
to think at all. And the new name"
mol 0 cannot read it! You know
God by no such name as makes you
seek his company. The thought Of
him renders 0 unhappy, and there
fore o Danish it from YOU mind.
You are not now alarmed, but soon
the spell may be broken, and you may
find the chains riveted upon your
soul forever.
fancy l hear you say: Il wish that
before it is too late l could escape!
But mine is a hopeless case. My heart
is hardened against the gospel, and
evil habit has so got the mastery over
me thai have no power to begin this
conflict"
10, % have no power; but one has
visited this world and taken our ma
ture, who can help you. The mighty
Son of God became the suffering Son
of Man that he might be the liberia
tor of our enslaved race. He burst
open the prison doors that captive
souls might escape. He stands near
you, ready to break off your letters
and strengthen you to fight the enemy
who has SO long oppressed you. Tell
him your simple but sad tale; how
helpless, how miserable, how ruined
you are! Tell him you want to be
saved, but know not how to begin the
work, and ask him both to begin and
complete 1t for you! Let your prayer
be this. BE merciful to me, a sin
ner;" and he who came TO destroy
the works of the devil" he whose ma
ture and property is ever to have
mercy and to forgive" will receive
your humble petitions; and though
you be tied and bound with the chain
