BAPTIST MEETING
 COMES ID 4 CLOSE
Missions in Other Lands
 Topic Last Night
DR. WHITE ON THE WAR
.'The Devil Brought on the War" He Says-Opens Untold Fields for Mis- sionary Work-Christian Civili-
 zation Has Not Failed

The first convention Of the laymen If the Baptist church in Alabama came to a close last night. The last session was attended by comparatively a small num- ber of the delegates, due, ii is believed to the fact that the rain fell in torrents from 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon until 2 late in the night
 The best speakers of the entire conven- tior were on the programme last night the general topic being Missions In Other Lands" W. F. Yarbrough pre- sided.
 Dr. J. L. White, pastor of the Taber- nacle church. Atlanta, delivered one of the best addresses ever made in Bir- mingham, his topic being "A New World Consciousness" The general trend of his address was to the effect that the Euro pean war had opened untold fields for missionary work and that the work of preparation must begin immediately if the Christians in America were to do what they should He closed with mag nificent plea for the better support of foreign missions.
 You ask me who brought on this war in Europe, said Dr. White. "I answer you. it was the devil. God did not bring about the war. but he will have the last word in it. It has been said that the Christian civilization of Europe has been shattered I don't believe that this world has ever seen Christian civil ization I don't believe any civillza- tioI on earth today is Christian. When children can sleep with their heads rest ing on the shaggy names of lions. when men of every race and creed call one an- other brother, then there will be a Chris tan civilization.

It is alleged that the man killed his wife at her home near the McNeil farm and then threw her body in the creek where it was found several days later by some negroes who were fishing.

that the corps is only three years old This is not due to the superior flying of the British airmen, but to the thorough ness of their equipment and mechanical department and the prodigality of the expenditure for all necessary assistance and resources. Everything but the actual manufacture of the engines is being done at the front. The engines are assembled and tho wings made in different shops near the aeroplane base. Successful re- connoissance with aircraft has now be- come matter of mechanical care and organization. The British aviator seems keenly to enjoy these maneuvers and the chance to chase an enemy machine.
 Charts of Soldiers
 The official medical corps showed the correspondent charts of the sickness among the soldiers. which is less than that among the troops at home despite the strain the men are under. when they take their turns in the trenches. This IS due to the giving to the men of all the wholesome food they can eat and rlenty of exercise when they are out of the trenches and enforcing all sanitary regulations with the strictest discipline.
 AS Colonel Gorgas met the health problems on the Panama canal, so we met and conquered these in this kind of war" a medical corps officer said
 Frost bite, which was plentiful in De cember and January, was overcome by making the men loosen their cloth mt tees, which became wet and binding stop ping the circulation of the blood, and by compelling them to take off their boots at intervals.
 We change the shifts in the trenches 5 said a brigadier general Sometimes every AS hours, but sometimes less or more frequently. 1t all depends on the hardships and keeping the men fit
 The officer pointed out places where the positions on both sides, despite the at tacks and counter-attaclSs, were the same as last October, and where there might as we'll have been an understanding to rest for the winter and start in the spring, when the ground has dried out. Yet, though dead from attacks lie be- tween the trenches, even close to the par apets, the Germans will not agree to an armistice to bury them, the officer said.
 One heard much in England of the hat Of the German for the English. but here at the front no hate seemingly is evinced by the British despite the assertion that it is their determination to fight to the finish. "The German hates us because we are going to be the top dog,'' Tommy Atkins says
 From the commander fin chief down. simple living and the duty of Keeping well are rules that are being rigidly fol- lowed. Field Marshal Sir John French. the British commander, occupies a house. His office is in the drawing room Din ner at headquarters one finds much like the dinner of the English mess in Eng ! land, the talk running on other subjects than the war as a relaxation for the off cers. It Is hard to realize war is so | nearby.
 Sir John French is rudoy and alert and bears no sign of the strain of the last eight months

No Christian Civilization

T know of no Christian civilization and certainly that of Europe which has broken down is not Christian if Amer ica Is not Christian. It is not Christian civilization that has broken down. The civilization in Germany was one of in- tellectuality backed by militarism. French civilization was voluptuous, due to the teachings of Voltaire. Russian civilization was made mp of a mixture from north, south, east and west but it was not Christian. Englands civil ation was the only one that recog- nized the Holy Trinity and it WAS shot through and through with commercial pride. And this war is not a break ing down of Christian civilization but thing called Christian and which is obnoxious in the sight of God.
 christianity has not broken down and never in the history of the world was so much faith in Christ shown. On the battlefields of Europe hundreds of thousands plead for His mercy through the blood"
 pr. White predicted that with the ending of the war would come the overthrow of monarchial government nd the ascendancy of a government
 the people, by the people and for tHs people" "The worlds dawn has ne through blood and the smoke of
 tle,'' he said. "Others advocate dem-
 acy, but there is no denomination aat breaches it and lives 1t so much
 do the P-sjtists, and we must be g. ly when the war Is ended to reap the
 ltest harvest of souls for His king
 that was ever known in the world $
 ory"

Two of the most baffling mysteries that have ever c,used New Britain people to lose their beauty sleep are today apparently no nearer a solu- tion than they have been since first discovered.

 Dopsters are throwing up their hands in despair and even the sup posedly wise ones are shaking their heads in wonderment, asking each other the same question in the same breath and receiving the same an swer: Whats doing on the murder case? Whats doing on the postmas- tership?' All together: Nothing"
