The time may be near at hand when aerial traffic will assume large proportions without jeopardizing the lives of passengers on board or pedestrians on earth.
 Writing as he did, Jules Verne proved himself seer whose tales no longer seem fantastic and it is really remarkable that a man who showed such an inventive turn of mind was content to live ard die romarcer. However, the work was extremely profitable, and inventors are not al- ways well paid. Perhaps Verne showed good business sense in sticking to a profession from which he received large returns.

Large Grain Acreage

Alabama s cotton acreage is as large this year as 1t was last-a little larger perhaps-and thus far the weather con ditions have been most favorable" said D. M. Dickson, the well-Known fertilizer salesman.
 Tn a recent trip through the state l found the farmers very busy and very optimistc. There is a very decided in crease in grain acreage. Alabama's corn production will make new high rec ord this year. and I was interested in watching the large fields of oats in some of the counties. A few days ago I saw oats being harvested between Opelika and Roanoke. It was an early variety, sup posed to be ready for cutting in May, but the season Is earlier than usual; hence an April harvest. In many counties I saw oats ripening and almost ready for the harvester.
 Business prosperity is the rule in the agricultural sections of Alabama Last year was one of the best, and humanly speaking, 1914 will be another good year."

A Nation of Vicissitudes

From the time General Diaz became President of Mexico in 1877 until he retired in old age in 1911 the republic over which he ruled with an iron rod was strong and won the admiration of the world. Diaz was a despot, but he was a man of. extraordinary ca pacity and a patriot at heart. If he sought to be dictator, he builded strongly for the nation. He promoted education and encouraged the develop ment of all material interests. If capi- tai poured into Mexico in the sos, it was because foreigners who had large sums to invest had confidence in Diaz. And it was generally thought that some worthy successor would be found V ho would keep the republic up to the high level which it had attained under the presidency of the father or creator of a prosperous and progress sive Mexico.
 In 1910 when the centenary of MeXi- can independence was celebrated the leading nations of the earth took part in the ceremonies. Mexico was glori- fled as only few nations have been in modern times. Its rapid upbuilding caused people on both sides of the At lantic to marvel, but the centennial festivities were hardly over when sedition broke out among the people; and the republic, little while before peaceful and potential, has been turbulent and unhappy country ever since.
 Self-seelxing politicians and bloody assassins have brought on the present troubles. For long years Mexico had it's vicissitudes, but it is now facing one of those tragedies in it's history which could have been avoided if the best people had acted firmly and placed an able patriot at the head of the government.
 The United States will finally restore order in Mexico, and after the country is tranquilized and has a stable form of administration Ameri- can troops will be withdrawn. Just when that will be no one can venture more than a guess; but probably the Mexican people will learn lesson. They may find it difficult to discover as virile and successful a statesman for President as Diaz, but the next time they do have an orderly and progressive form of government it will behoove them to appreciate it more thoroughly and stand by it more loyalty than they did in support of orderly, albeit autocratic, policies in the closing days of the Diaz regime.

Jules Verne's Dreams

When Jules Verne, man who trav- eled practically not at all, but had a wonderful gift for making imaginative trips to all parts of the world, was writing his popular romances he used to predict that some of his theories would later on be verified by science. Before he died his prophecies came true. The submarine, while it is still far from being the safest craft in the world, has nevertheless become rather common and attracts but little atten- tion unless it happens to go to the bot tom of the sea and stay there indefi- nitely with a full crew aboard. No one has ever equaled the feats of Captain Memo, to be sure, but his Nautilus was the forerunner of the modern sub marine.
 Being shot to the moon is not yet looked upon as a practical possibility, although we are making strenuous ef- forts to communicate with the Mar tians and doubtless before much longer will be able to discuss the weather with them, if there is nothing more important to talk about. The moon is, after all, not the sort of world to at tract tourists. From all reports, it is a dead world and it's scenry, while awe inspiring, is also depressing.
 But Jules Verne conceived other ways of Navigating the air besides that of travelling inside a huge projectile and his imaginary exploits are being surpassed by modern aviators. The seroplane has become practical ad-

complete the body of Christ, all in dividuals are necessary. All kinds and conditions of men-lame, halt, blind, leprous, weak, tickle, dull, ob- stinate, ignorant. I see Christ enter ing the gates leading publicans, priests, heroes, hermits, knights, patriarchs, beggars, kings, prosti- tutes, thieves, sages, babes-the Piper of the ages drawing the ends of earth. Let no man of us think that any other man brings an unavailing contribution to the body of Christ. There is Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; and a Gospel according to every other man that ever caught glimpse of Christ and went away obe- dient to the heavenly vision.
 Here is food for humility and for confidence. Humility, when we re- member that every other man brings a necessary contribution; confidence when we remember that each of us brings likewise necessary contribu- tion to the body of Christ.

The Perfect Man

"Till we all come * unto a per- feet man." Ephesians 4, IS.
 The theme of Philippians is Christ the Head of the Church. The theme of Ephesians is the Church the Body of Christ; and the idea in the above text is that all of us are to come to- gether with the peculiar contributions of our lives and make up the body of Christ
 For this all nations are necessary. America is not enough. It would be a sided Christ expressed by Amer ica alone. China must come with her massive willingness to wait, a sort of timelessness which is hers, out of which flows her big reverence for the past. We are despisers of history; China worships ancestors. Our lenses are present and future; China's is the past. Japan must come with her new alertness, with her mental and spirit ual jiu jitsu India must come with her gentleness and her meditativeness. And so on all the way around, before the perfect estimate of Christ is had, before His body is fully builded.
 For this all denominations are nec- essary. Not in their separate capaci- ties, for they all ought to be one, but with their peculiar contributions. Methodist theology is from the point of view of man. Presbyterian theology is from the point of view of God. Both are needed. Prelatical church polity, represented in one way and another | by Catholic, Episcopal and Methodist churches, puts its emphasis upon the authority of dominant personalities. That is needed. Congregational church polity, represented by the Congrega- tional and Baptist churches, puts its emphasis upon local self-government and pure democracy-the rule of the people. That is needed. Presbyterian church polity puts its emphasis upon republicanism, the rule of chosen rep resentstives. That is needed. Other illustrations, of course, might be used to show this complementary nature of different denominations.
 And to make the perfect man, to

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF WILLIAM ORR

n HE trial of William Orr, one of
 the most popular and influential
 ! of the United Irishmen, during the latter half of the eighteenth cen tury. excited the Irish patriots as no other of the many official injustices than judicial murder" the execu- tion of Orr, and as such 1t is recog- nized at the present time by the Eng fish encyclopedias. Remember Orr became a watchword, and was chalk ed on the walls in many places. At a public dinner held in London to cele- brate Fox's birthday, the Duke of Nor folk, Lord Oxford, Erskine, Sir F. Bur dett. Horne Tooke and others being present, two of the toasts were: The memory of Orr, basely murdered' and may the evacuation of Orr provide places for the cabinet of St. James at the castle"
 William Orr was the first of the martyrs to the cause of the United Irishmen, He was the son of a farmer of the county of Antrim. When he was 31 years of age he was arraigned, tried and convicted at Carrickfergus on a charge of having administered the United Irishmans oath to a soldier named Wheatly. The whole history of the operations of the British law courts contains nothing more infamous than the record of this trial.
 Wheatly was a bad character and it
 was afterwards admitted that at the trial he had given false evidence ] against Orr. 1t was William McKeever who administered the oath and not Orr, and the British government knew this fact but they wanted Orr as a victim. The government had decreed his death even before he was appre- hended
 Orr was kept in prison for about a year previous to his trial to the intense indignation of the inhabitants of the place who were so friendly to him that the people left the place during the proceedings as a protest. Lord Avon
 more was the presiding judge at the | trial. and Arthur Wolfe, afterwards Lord Kilwarden. was prosecuteing counsel. They were both humane men,
 but both concurred in the verdict of 5tAAes as pioHOuhCcu, dlteT some ue- lay, by the jury.
 When the jury retired to consider
 their verdict, they were supplied with supper by the crown officials, a liberal supply of liquors being included in the refreshments. In their sober state several of the jurymen, including the
 foreman. had refused to agree to a verdict of guilty. It was otherwise,
 however, when the decanters were

TROUBADOUR AND JESTER
BELLS OF PoWDERLY.

When twilight climbs the vaulted dome
 And sets the stars ablaze When sombre grows the mountain crest
 In the crepuseule haze, Across the woodland, field and dale
 In melting melody, There floats the lifting of the bells
 The bells of Powderly. Oh, holy bells, oh lowly bells
 Oh bells with silver throat, Methinks the angels hear thy voice
 And on it's echo float. The very trees hark to thy song
 And breathe a threnody While purling streams an answer send
 Oh bells of Powderly. Oh rhyming bells, oh chiming bells,
 Oh bells of sweet nocturne, Thy gladdened and thy saddened tones
 Deep in my rapt soul burn. Oh throbbing bells, oh sobbing bells,
 Oh bells of rhapsody, My heart could hear thy song for aye Sweet bells of Powderly
