Husbands, Don't Be Selfish!
By MRS. SIDNEY Fl. uLLmAN

Most men are generous in big things. but in the little things of life that mat ters so much to the woman, they are us- ually very selfish. A man will buy his wife a splendid present and then think nothing of leaving her night after night for lodge or friends of some other mans pleasure"
 A man will come home from business and lie down on the nearest lounge and snore, while the wife, who is just dying for a little eompanionship, after long, tiresome day with the children, still keeps the little folks quiet while daddy sleeps

He props it lip at the breakfast table and reads, and never finishes even with the part of the paper he don't care to read. He puts on his hat gives wife a little peck, says good-by to the kiddies ard marches off with the paper in his pocket to read on the car ,soing to town.

you while she longs for the morning news and the early morning ads and the social column. Of course, it's all right; it's one of your God-given rights to take off the paper, like the vote and lodge night and few other things, but every woman that is deprived of the vote and the lodge night and the morning paper this way. wishes she had vote and a lodge night and a morning paper all her own.
 Did it ever occur to you this might be a good plan? Get her a morning paper all for herself, and then you can go off content knowing she isn't deprived.
 So many men complain women don't know what's going on in the world, and often it's because she hasn't had chance to read the paper all day. Just the time she could have sat down for half an hour and found out what was going on, and read of her friends and made up her mind where to shop, you have gol downtown with the paper.
 Please, hubby. dear, get wife a morn- ing paper all her own if you must be selfish and take away the paper.

BIG CROWDS AGAIN HEAR DR. EDMONDS
 AT BOTH SERVICES
Uses Zacheus to Illustrate Importance of Coming of Great, PersOnages To
 Any Community

Temple Emanu-El again was crowded to the doors, and many could not find seats yesterday morning, when Dr. Henry M. Edmonds, pastor of the Independent Presbyterian church of Birmingham, oc cupied the pulpit for the second Sunday since the organization of the new church.
 A double row of chairs was placed in front of the pews and a row of chairs was placed alongside the pews in the aisles to assist in seating the crowds. Every gallery was filled and many people were forced to stand.
 Dr. Edmonds in his sermon told about Zacheus, the little man who climbed a tree to see Christ. He referred to the es-Robertson, to Birmingham, saying it was a great day for this city when he came. The speaker reniniscently spoke of his college days at Knoxville, and told what great day it was for that city when Joe Jefferson came to play there. He said he stood in line at that time from o'clock in the afternoon until 1:30 o'clock the next morning before he could get near enough to the box office
  that single seats sold as high as $50, and that one man sold his place in the line for S15
 He said it was great day for Knox vile when Bob Taylor used to lecture there, and mountaineers would come from 90 miles around, afoot to hear him talk. He told how they would sit and cry, at times the cry growing to great roar of approval as he told of his acts of par doning the moonshiners who had been so ! fortunate as to get caught.
 All these, he said, were great days. But it was a greater day in Jericho when Jesus came, came to save those who were lost.
 Jesus is here today, said Dr. Ed monds, "and he is here seeking to save that which was lost, and I hope our church will be known as a church which initiates him in that-going after those that need rather than those whom we need seeking to save the world, and not to save ourselves.
 Dr. Edmonds called attention to the fact that Zacheus was convicted of his sin in the presence of Christ and came down and acknowledged it all, and said he would make restitution for all he had stolen from his countrymen in taxes, paying back fourfold. He said that when Christ came into our lives with His pure presence, we are convicted for our sins.
 The speaker drew a word picture of the home of Zacheus after the visit there of Christ, showing how much happier was the home life; how complete was the ex- istence of the household.
 Last night the crowd again taxed the capacity of Temple Emanu-El.
