UNUSUALLY FREAkISH
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

Climatic conditions of the past
week, in this section have been MOTTO
ably erratic, and in consequence it is
by no means rare to have the ques-
tion, "do you ever remember such
such weather as this?"
For four days and nights stiff
wind was blowing from the North,
and the nights became as cool as in
October or November. The use of
blankets and quilts called for the dis
turbance of many a carefully packed
closet chest, to supply bed clothing
heavy enough to make sleeping CON-
Portable. With SUCH comfortable pro-
lection, sleeping was so sweet as to
cause dreams of the mountains to
sooth ones slumber, and when awak-
ened there was that feeling, which
prompted the prayer for "just little
more sleep little more slumber". For
two days the temperature rose and
every one was beginning to think they
were going to have some real summer,
when 10 this morning the rain began
to come down, and strong wind
from the South to blow, and by eight
o'clock almost a gale was blowing
This has kept up till this afternoon
with the result that much appreren
sion is felt for the Gulf Coast section
where it is feared considerable dam
age has been done.

THE DAILY SHORT STORY.
His Bar Examination.


The state bar examination was
in progress. The watchfuk ewes
of the members of the examining
committee were upon each candi-
date. The applicants were am
bilious in the best sense. MANY
would be heard from in the years
to come.
John Harding, esq, was one of
the examiners. Harding was
broad man. One candidate before
him enlisted his sympathy. This
man was Victor Hope. There
was story back of the young
man. Hope was a bank teller,
and had maintained a widowed
mother while pursuing his STU
les. He had studied in an even
ing school.
Another fact was also known
to the examiner. Hope was in
love with an attractive and de-
serving stenographer who work
ed in a busy law office. While
some of Hopes friends were
somewhat skeptical, Myrtle Will
low had never lost faith in him.

The examiner did. A hero sat
before him.

 TABERNACLE

The Kingdom in Tableau, Marx ix 2-ls November A.
 "A voice came out of the cloud. saying, This is My beloved Son; hear ye Him. And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone.''-Luke ix, S5
 Our studies continue to appertain to Messiahs Kingdom of Glory. foday's lesson tells of a tableau illustration given to his disciples respecting it. The les son deeply impressed the three Apostles who witnessed the vision, Peter. James and John. St. Peter referred to it after ward. in his Epistle QI Peter 1, 1s-19), saving. I've have not followed comingly devised fables when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewit- resses of His majesty when we were with Him in the holy mount
 Jesus prepared His disciples for the transfiguration vision. saying, There be some of them that stand here which shall not taste of death until they see Gods Royal Majesty having come with power The occasion will be remembered, Jesus had foretod His death, quite contrary to the previous expectations of the Apostles, and now He sought to draw their minds gradually to a realization that His death would not mean a repudiatifl or the promise of the Kingdom and its glory

HARD ID REVISE THE
 CITY LICENSE TAXES
Insurance Companies to h. crease Their Rates If
 License Is Increased

Gadsden, November 19.-(SpeciaL)- The city council has run against q snag in it's revision of city privilege license taxes. The insurance companies, through Earl Lay, a local agent, served notice on the council last night that if their license is increased, insurance rates also will be increased, and that the raise in rates probably will be greater than the raise in license. The council decided to proceed with the col lection of assessments for street im- provements, which have been causing much worry. Loui Harts request for free license to teams working on the Gadsden, Lookout Mountain and Belle- vue railroad was granted. The re- ouest of the Gadsden Cigar company for free license on the ground that 1t is a new industry was refused.
 M. NJ Davidson, local attorney, has been retained to settle the estate or Marion J. Campbell, who was killed last week during a raid on his store by the sheriff's office. There seems to be some confusion regarding the killing, and the grand jury will investigate 1t.
 A movement is on foot to have q mounted patrolman for Gadsden. The purchase of a motorcycle for the police department is being considered.
 In the case of Mrs. M. A. Long against the Alabama City, Gadsden and At talla Railroad company, a suit for per- sonal injuries, the jury rendered yer dict for $250 in favor of the plaintih. Mrs. Long was injured while stepping from a car at Canterberry station.

other words. the Elijah class Is composer of Jesus and all of His footstep followers throughout this Gospel Age-inl their earthly condition. spirit-begotten, but not yet spirit-born
 This Elijah company as a whole must be developed and must do work m the world before the real Kingdom of Messiah can be established. The glorification of Jesus, following His death and resurrec- ton, was due, but as the glorified One He stood between the Moses class, called pre- viously, and the Elijah class, which had just begun to be called to be His joint heirs in the Kingdom. He was thus in their midst, and the crueifixion at Jeru- salem was about to fulfill all tho condi- tions necessary to the bringing about of the Messianie reign.
 There Is no doubt whatever respecting the Kingdom promised-that 1t will come; that vision on the mount confirmed it. The Kingdom merely awaits the suffer ings of those who will be the members of the Body of Christ. Then, at the Second Coming of Jesus, these will be blessed and glorifled; and the class represented by Moses will also be blessed and used as instruments of the Kingdom. Thus in the vision the entire Kingdom was represent ed; first of all, by Jesus Himself, second. by Elijah who represented the church class, and thirdly, by Moses. who repre- sented the faithful on the earthly plane through whom the heavenly blessings will pour out upon humanity.
