Farewell Sermon

DIR. MONEYS farewell sermon at the
morning service was on the topic of ''The
wilderness and the solitary place shall
be glad for them; and the desert place
rejoice and blossom as the rose."-Isaiah
35.1.
These words we're spoken" he said, "a
long time ago. They were spoken by
man with a long range OF vision. lie
SAW aboundng In the earth the kingdom
of Christ. lie saw the glory OF the day in
which we are living now.
What was the kingdom of God ac-
cording TO Jesus? 1t was the kingdom in
which Jesus was the King; In which His
ideals were the laws. Its atmosphere was
rot meat and drink, but righteousness and
peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Isaiah
was himself a prophecy of the type Of
rnan this kingdom produces, for in inter-
pIeting his own experience he says:
Wherefore will We spend your money for
that which is not bread and your labor
for that which satisfieth not
1T is in the kingdom of God. and there
also that the human life goes on to perfec-
ton, and this is because II is only here
that the spiritual life of a man finds
warm environment in which to grow. And
what is perfection? Why, It is life's high
est self realization. It calls every man
to be more than a tool or a machine, It
bids him remember that ne can rise into
the likeness of God Himself IL he lives
within the kingdom. and a perfect life
cannot be realized anywhere else any
mere than a perfect flower can bloom in
the desert.

Connections to Atlanta

Immediately after the wreck an semer-
gency train brought the passengers to
the Terminal station. The train to Atlanta
was held over so that the connection was
not broken and the Atlanta passengers
lost but little time.
In the offices of J. W. Evens, superin-
tendent of the Alabama Great Southern, a
consultation was held yesterday prepara-
tory to full investigation into the wreck.
The officials engaged in the conference
included Mr.. Evens, J. I. Hester, train
master; ]. n. Winston, chief dispatcher.
and A. J. Frazier, master of road en-
gines. The officials examined members of
the two crews, one from the passenger
train, the other from the switching crew,
as to their views on the accident.
1t was brought out that the switching
crew while trying to place some cars onto
delivery track allowed the time for No.
70 to pass by without realizing the near
approach of the passenger train on sched-
ule. The switching crew, when the on
coming passenger was observed, tried
frantically to pull up the line, away from
the passenger. The latter train, how
ever, was approaching Birmingham so
fast as to make unsuccessful ouch an ef-
fort
This morning it is understood that the
investigating board of the Alabama Great
Southern will ascertain the fullest details
and whatever action is necessary viii be
taken. In connection with the wreck the
officials of the Alabama Great Southern
gave out this statement last night:

fruit of the spirit blossoming in a barren
life.
THE influence OF the kingdom can
change you from any state of barrenness
to any state of fruitfulness. There Is a
germ of perfection and frultfulness in
your life, has II ever reached the flower :?
the barren fig tree that barren life is
contradiction in terms. And that no
amount OF respectable drapery could
atone for barrenness. He said, speaking
OF His own influence in the individual life,
IF ye abide In Me and My words abide
IN you, ye shall be neither barren nor
unfruitful.' Jesus promises that the well
coming Of the Influences of the kingdom
into the heart will establish fruitfuness
and usefulness in the life. The influence
Of the kingdom, the gospel of the kingdom

tary life. We are told that no man liveth

and yet some control and narrow their
lives grievously. The solitary place
ranges everything around its own borders
and deserts the rest of the world. The
solitary life does likewise. 1t receives
the blessings of the kingcom but adds
nothing to the moral and spiritual up
building of the world. The seed that does
not die and share its life abideth alone In
life and In death.

Official Statement

1.-THE published account of the accident
involving passenger train No. u and a
switch engine near the West End park
were accurate in most particulars. How
ever in a few details the accounts should
be corrected. The alleged Indifference
of the officials to the comfort of those in
volved in the accident does this company
an injustice. The quoted statements that
several hours elapsed between the time
of the accident and the visits of ambu-
lances and the bringing of the passengers
to the Terminal station is not in line with
the records of our officials.
1.-The wreck occurred at II 40 o'clock.
Within one hour after that time we had
two ambulanees at the scene OF the wreck.
Five persons were conveyed TO the hos
pital in those ambulances. Our physi-
clans were there and rendered every pos
sible aid to those injured When the ac-
cident was reported a switch engine was
Immediately called and a-coach was sent
to the scene of the accident. That coach
was at the wreck in one hour at the lat
est, and was held there for a short time
for convenience's sake. 1t reached the
Terminal at O'Clock, which may be said
was good time under the circumstances.
The officials of this line, including their
physicians, rendered all aid possible to
the II persons injured
The officials of the Alabama Great
Southern stated that all traffic opera
tions have been resumed.

London Aug. 1l-Thc Daily
Despatch said in an editorial today
that it considered President Will
sons demands that President
Huerta renounce the presidency Of
Mexico as a curious experiment in
foreign diplomacy and one scarcely
likely to be carried through easily.
"A proud race like the Mexicans
and a president with a fairly strong
backing editorially comments the
Despatch are very unlikely to sur
render and We doubt if the United
states would really care to face the
stupendous task of reducing Mexico
by force of arms. Mr.. Wilson's de-
mands for general election almost
border on the ludicrous, because
there is no such thing in Mexico as
an election by ballot as ballots are
understood in the great Democratic
Countries
Arguing that it is impossible for
Mexico to obtain money until the
United States government recognizes
Huerta and that without money the
country is bound to drift into anar-
ehy the Despatch considers that the
best and safest course would be to
recognize Huerta ana give his gov
ernment an opportunity to redeem
its pledges of peace. If it fails. then
it is time for stronger action.
