with a poor horse biting at the

chagrin. She had expected the
handsome automobile truck of w
o. Broyles to drive up with skilled and
gentlemanly attendants to set up and
arrange the elegant and stylish furni-
that 1t should be thus or not at all So
starting to hubby's office, she met him
at the front door and pointed to what
she termed "misera BILE junk" and sob
bingly asked, rs that the Cheap John
stuff that you intended for me?" He
answered yes, my dear; l bought it
from my personal friend who voted for
me in the last election"
The young wife reprimanded him for
his poor business judgment and asserted
that she would have her furniture from
sold the best furniture in town and
much more reasonable; that he retained
only the most polite clerks and that his
goods and promises were absolutely de-
pendable. So hubby was in the middle
of bad fix. The bill was 5000, and he
had paid sac down, which his friend
had refused to refund. So, downcast and
detected. he referred to the big store
of w. o. Broyles Furniture company,
where he found that he could buy the
same goods and better for $400. SO he
forfeited his $50 and saved an addi-
tional $3.50 and made his young wife
extremely happy.
Moral: Wise people profit by the
experience of others" So don't forget
the big store. where prices are right
and clerks polite.

BISHOP DELEGATES
. THE SYRIAN Church
Impressive Ceremonies Con-
Quoted by Bishop Allen.
Banquet Is Given

Yesterday was a day which will be re-
inembered long by the Syrians of Bir-
mingham as a day of joy and gladness.
The occasion was the dedication of their
church. st. Elias on Avenue F. near
Twentieth street
Up to a very few years ago the MEM
bers of the Syrian colony were members
of st. Paul's congregation. But with
the coming of pastor of their own race,
the Rev Father Bellama, Syrian. a con-
sregation was organized and mass was
heard regularly, aecordoing to the Maron-
ite rite. The church building which the
Syrians now possess has a seating ca
pacity of something like 800.
The Right Rev. T. p Allen, bishop
of Mobile, conducted the impressive dedi
oatory ceremonies, which included a pro-
cession around the church and the chant
ing of the litany of the saints and other
prayers. After the dedication solemn
high mass was celebrated by the Rev.
Father Carroll, assistant pastor of ST.
Paul's church. The deacon of the mass
was the Rev. Father Sands and the SUBJ
deacon was the Rev Father Mccormack
Many priests, among them the Rev
Father Covle. occupied seats in the sane
tuary.
The music was sung i'm Gregorian style
by the choir of St Bernard abbey The
right reverend bishop preached SER
mon, which was pronounced by those
present especially forceful. and illumi-
mating. His theme was 1.-The Sower and
the Seed The sacraments of the church
he pointed out, were the channels through
which the seed came to us and the means
by which God fructified the seed-His
word.
Fifty members of the order of Knights
of Columbus attended the ceremonies in
a body
Last night banquet was given by the
Syrians at the Empire hotel. DIR. II. A.
Eikourie acted as toastmaster and made
the opening speech, in which he sketched
eloquently the story of the Syrian people
and painted In glowing colors landscapes
of Lebanon crowded with heroic scenes
running through the centuries.
At the right of the toastmaster sat
Bishop Allen and on his left Father
Bellama. Many Catholic clergymen were
among the guests cf the Syrians DR.
Elkourie first called on NJ +. Linnehan
state deputy OF the knights of Columbus
for speech. The response was felici-
tous. and the speaker was heartily
cheered. The next speaker was Judge
Oscar r. Hundley, who talked brilliantly
for 10 or 20 minutes and his remarks
were intersperced with pous sentiment
and amusing anecdote Sterling A. Wood
followed Judge IIundley in happy vein
and then came a stirring address by the
bishop. Bishop Allen had visited the
Holy Land and had seen the country
peopled by Syrians. He reviewed the his
tory of this brave race, and spoke in
strong commendation of the men and
women who formed the Syrian colony of
Birmingham because of their high char
acter and their unfailing loyalty to the
church. Other speakers were John W.
o O'Neill, H. J Kifbbs. Arnold Masberg
and Father Bellama
It was nearly II o'clock when the af-
fair was concluded. There were MANY
courses, but like all modern day Catholic
banquets, 1t was without wine The
strongest liquid refreshment served was
coffee.
