WILEY SPEAKS ON
ADOLESCENT AGE
Appeals for Better Parental
COmpaniOnship-Today's
Programme

The third session of the Baptist Train
ing school was opened yesterday morning
with prayer and praise service, conducted
by the Rev. ]. o. Colley, pastor of the
Twenty-seventh Street Baptist church.
Glass work was continued by Miss
Forbes in the study of the pupil, by Mr..
/ Wiley in New Testament history, by DR..
Burroughs in the books of the Bible
Mr.. Wiley in speaking of the Inter-
mediate Department" outlined nine char
aoteristics. 1t is the age between child
hood and maturity, the age of most rapid
growth, the age of supreme awkwardness,
the age of greatest susceptibility to dis
ease, the criminal age, the lonesome age,
the wandering age, the falling age, the
age of greatest conversion
The speaker made a strong appeal for
companionship on the part of fathers and
mothers with their boys and girls in the
adolescent period.
Dr. McGlothlin began with the lesson of
the Grateful Samaritan" Among the
subjects discussed were THE Coming of
the Kingdom" Jesus expects us to be
ready every hour for his coming" he
said.
There is no higher type of faith than
that which wants more knowledge. The
Christian religion is expressed in the
words 60 SELL give come, follow
Faith shall be rewarded, but we have
no checks on this side that we know we
can cash on the other side.
Men are not now born great but they
only achieve greatness by seeing others.
test of discipleship is when men are
willing to restore four fold as Zaccheus.
"Sothfulness in the kingdom of God is
wickedness."
The last subject discussed was THE
Triumphal Entry. THE thought in the
| minds of the people was, as they cried
'Hosanna to the King, was political" said
DIR. McGlothlin. 1T was not much of a
triumph for Jesus. On this journey Jesus
burst into tears because of the misunder-
standing of the people,"
The remaining lessons of 1904 will be
discussed tonight and tomorrow night

MUSICAL NOTES

Paderewski's Birmingham date is Feb
ruary 20 and the Flonzaley Quartet's date
is March 2. Both of these great attrac-
tions come under contract with the Cable
Shelby Burton Piano company.
The Zoelner string quartet will give a
concert here in February under the au-
spices of the Music Study club. 1t has
the reputation of being an excellent cham
ber organization.
Music lovers are still talking about the
delightful joint recital by Christine Miller
and Frederick Gunster at the jefferson
theatre Tuesday night. Many Birming-
ham people knew that Mr.. Gunster had
a rich tenor voice and that he was musi-
cally educated, but his fine artistry was
a revelation probably to the majority of
those making up the big audience. Miss
Miller and Mr.. Gunster were in perfect
form; Louis Merkel, the accompanist,
came in for a good share of praise. lie
used Steinway piano.

is the excellence and abundance of the
cuisine. for it is as true now as ever

The average man considers himself
lucky If he goes to a bazaar and es-
capes with his clothes and the fact
that a fellow can eat his "rations' in
peace at this affair is a distinct ad-
vantage and should attract the hun
dreds of men of the city. who, like the
writer, take the majority of their
meals while sitting on revolving stool
