Offutt Denies That Uneasiness Is Felt
For Alabama Power Company
Official Visiting Mexico

NJ Webb Offutt, assistant vice presi-

yesterday denied emphatically the re-
port circulated that uneasiness was felt
by the officials of the company as to
the safety of w. w. Freeman, vice
president, who is en- route to Mexico.
He said that the purported interview
with him was entirely unauthorized,
misleading and was manufactured.
Mr.. Freeman, by his trip, has caused
the officials of this company abso-
lutely no unesiness," said Mr.. Offutt.
1--WE. have not tried to communicate
with him In an effort to dissuade him
to return home rather than visit Mex
leo. We are not one bit alarmed about
his safety on this trip. The statement
that we were trying to get him back
was absolutely unauthorized and in
correct. In the eyes of many of our
friends that unwarranted statement
was very injurious. ] wish emphatically
to deny the whole report
Mr. Freeman is en- route to Mexico
with Mr.. Darlington of New York. one
of the consulting engineers for Sperling
&, Co. He and Mr.. Freeman are to in
spect some hydro electric developments
there As for his safety he will be
amply protected by the American gov

are there not the weightiest pleas urging
you to receive His salvation? He is stoop-
ing to conquer you. The 'fittest' had died
that you might live. You may remember
the story told of a clever mechanic, the
servant of tyrannical monarch. He was
once in the good graces of his majesty,
but for some reason lost his favor, though
he knew it not One day the kind said,
I want you to build a steel room with
contracting walls from which no one can
escape who enters therein, as l have an
enemy of whom / wish to rid myself, I, 1T
shall be done as requested responded the
mechanic When it was finished he bade
his sovereign visit it to observe it's perfect
mechanism. Step in and show me how
it works., said the king, and at the COM
mand the subject obeyed. Your majes-
ty touch the spring there and as he
touched it and the walls began to contract
the poor cerature realized there was no
hope for him. He had perfectly built and
slowly against all the pressure of strain
ing the contracting walls drew nearer
until he expired through the thing of his
own making. 1t Is only legend, but
what an awful truth II illustrates. You
and are building the thing that is crush
ing the life out of us. 1t is sin. 1t is sin
that crushes. because it separates from
God from God the source of all life.
Through the power which is divine Jes>>
alone can save us from it's crushing
weight The way is through repentance
and confession.
ITO the Christian this subject bears a
lesson that is the core of our discipleship.
Christ has shown us how the divine is to
be manifested in us. He has shown us
the great law of the Christian heart
Christianity brings the strength and the
grace of God. 1t constitutes us the strong
and the purpose of the Christians devel-
opment is not the neglecting, but the en-
richment of the weak. The glory of the
'fttest' is to be their unselfish efforts IN
behalf of the morally needy. Christ Is
dlspleased with self centered Christianity,
with the type OF soul that has no prayer
for a worlds redemption, that speaks no
word for souls regeneration. that gives
no offering to spread his kingdom. that
is not showing that the glory of the strong
is the helping of the weak"
