HOME DEPARTMENT
OF SUNDAY SCHOOL

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
There are institutions In our midst that
we are accustomed in our daily contact
with them to accept as a matter Of
course, and give them little consldera-
ton in our thoughts in their relation to
our lives and homes. All our lives we
have accepted the Sunday school as a
necessary adjunct to the development of
christian character. Men and women
enter into training in these days equip
ping themselves as thoroughly in Bible
study and passing as rigid examinations
as do our secular school teachers.
Not content with reaching and teach
ing those who come TO tho various
churches to the regular Sunday school
or Bible study service, there has been
lnaugurated a national movement known
as the home department of the Sunday
school to reach all who are deprived for
various reasons from attending the reg
ular sessions of the Sunday school.
In Birmingham district two-thlrds of
the Sunday schools have home depart
ments and an effort is being made by
the field force in charge of this work
to extend 1t to every Sunday school in
the district before the meeting of the
state Sunday school convention in Hunts
vile in April.

which is a great pleasure to the patients.

Walker Percy said when called upon
that he felt 1t was rather misleading when
he was spoken of as interested in the
Young Mems Christian association alone,
for the fact was that the Young Women S
Christian association also appeals to him.
He said environment means more to a
woman than it does to a man and she
should be the better cared for. The
increase in the growth of a city is not
a question of its population, but whether
or not IL has become a better place to
live in,' he continued He said he be-
lieved the men who were at the luncheon
could easily raise the $4,000, The best
test of q mans life when summed up
at the end is the usefulness of 1t, he de-
clared, and he felt sure that no man
in birmingham would need TO give a
better testimony at the end than that
he had helped the Young Womens Chris
tian association
James Bowron said, when called upon;
Through the providence of God the unit
of civilization Is the family, and there
can be no family without a woman She
presides over the home from morn till
night while the husband earns the Bread,
1t Is to her that we entrust the bringing
up of our children, and I'd like to know
what chance the future family has when
the woman who works all day in the
factory or office have no opportunity
for real home training. 1t is the Young
Womens Christian association that gives
her this opportunity. 1t is Gods out
stretched hand to grasp and to hold the
women of our country"

be obtained by the canvassing commit

Right of Aliens
"Aliens have the right to enter the
United States except so far as the right
is restricted by our statutes.
The burden is upon the immigration au-
thorities to show that any alien denied
the right to enter falls within one of
the exceptions to the general privilege.
Although an alien who has not yet en-
tered may not enjoy the constitutional
guarantees of citizens, he has rights un-
der the law which must be respected"
The court points out that Castro's case
falls within the class of persons convicted
of felony or other crime involving NOR
al turpitude and continues:
Congress has required in respect 10
this particular class OF aliens proof Of a
specified kind and no other, viz: either a
conviction In the country where the crime
was committed an admission by the
alien. There is no pretense of any con-
vietion and | think ordinary proof Is not
sufficient. Testimony of unimpeached eye
witnesses that they had seen General
Castro kill General Paradez with his own
hand in cold blood would not only be IN
su fficient. but would be wholly incompe-
tent Therefore. kilograms passing be-
tween the state department and its rep
resentatives at Caracas upon which the
board relied, are no evidence whatever TO
connect General Castro with the death Of
General Paredez. When examined before
the special board he had the right to in
sist that the proof on this point be re-

The revenue from taxable sources will
probably exceed the receipts of last year
and conditions are considered better IN
a general way than at any time during
the present administration.
In the meantime Governor O'Neal is
keeping In close touch with the stu
alton and as soon as the statement of
Examiner Wilkinson is received he will
be in position to know pretty accurate
" what the state may expect this year
in the way of collections.
His request for a financial state-

any way that he contemplates calling
an extra session of the legislature, for
the impression pretty generally pre-
walls in official circles that the gov
ernor is determined to use every pos
sible effort to tide over his admin
istration without assembling the state
lawmakers in special session.
At any rate. the governor keeps his
plans to himself and If he has in
dicated his intention in the matter eth

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF

Montgomery, February 15.-tspecia1.) )
Governor ONeal has called upon Judge
". +. Wilkinson. examiner of public
accounts, to furnish him with state
ment of the states financial condition
for the years 1912 and 1913.
So far as Is known, the governor
wishes to be informed OF what the state
may expect in the way of revenue dur
ing the present year. in order that prep
aration may be made for any deficit
which may accrue during the ensuing
10 months.
According to the arrangements he
made during the first year of his admin
istration, Governor o'Neal will be able
to meet all emergencies in the way of
financial needs by applying to the
banks of the state, a source which has
supplied whatever deficits accrued dur
ing the past two years
So far as can be learned, it is ex-
pected that the state will be better of

I'VE intend TO improve as many streets

yesterday lining up with President Exum.
However 1t should not be taken for
granted that the commissioners will force
citizens without means to undergo assess
ments to bear which they feel unable.
We will pave any street where the petit
ton is secured. In some few cases it
may be best for the general welfare OF
the community to pave without petitions.
If that is a fact this commission, | take
1t, will not be backward In such step.
The paving is costly in most cases, but
as fast as possible we hope to get this
work done"

held tomorrow by the commissioners al
