Duty Of Christianity to Evang:'t the

BY Rev. Jno. A. Rice, c
Pastor ST. John N. e. Church Eolh,

Some years ago, the question was
asked. What is a college? Thu at
tempt to answer it shook th eQlca-
tional world i'll America frol cAter
to circumference. Another qsstiU is
now beginning to be asked: VIVA is
church? Without UNDERLYING to
give a definition of it, let IN ask in
this initial paper, what til. church
is for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to With it is
committed.
First, that OF evangelizaon. The
church is divinely commissioned to
reach for the lowest and be least
man in the least land and fer him
sonship to the Eternal God ;,ffer him
a divine power. which Iiftllim out

Teaching the Art Of Ling.

The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with its evangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education, has
come to mean specific thing in our
country, namely, the training Of the
people in the local church in those

should be employed to the utmost in
this important mission. Indeed. the
local church could be nndea sort OF
university for all the people, in which
the simple, practical arts and virtues
of everyday life should be tsught and
enforced. Only recently las this
special phase of the churhs work re-
ceived anything like adequate atten'

it is Publication.

May the Secretary of War, senators and congressman and capitalists of the Birmingham district and other points will visit the Warrior river on the date that the gates at Lock 17 will be thrown open officially; and that this Iarty will go on down the river through the various locks below Lock F to Tuscaloosa, thence to Birning ham, where they will be entertained by the business people here. I feel sure that everyone interested in this river transportation matter should make an enthusiastic appeal to the Secretary of War and to our congress- men and senators to have this water way built on up to Bessemer. Much could be done while they are here to convince these gentlemen that it Is of the greatest importance that this W ork be continued on to Bessemer.
 While these gentlemen are here. why not get 15 or 20 automobiles and take them on jaunt down Valley river and give them a barbecue and picnic at the head of slack water on Valley river, which would be six miles from the Warrior? Such trip would not only be beneficial in convincing the visitors of the feasibility of this prop osition. but I feel sure many of our own people who have not taken this trip would be convinced and enter en- Enthusiastically into the proposition in the fifture. The trip would be most enjoyable not only to the visitors but to our own citizens.

the engineers that it would be best to rior river would be before taking up the question of extending the waterway on up to Bessemer.
 The developments of the past two or three months and the activity by some of our larger corporations toward getting ready to handle coal to Mobile, on the Warrior river, would justify the beliec that the Warrior river will be utilized to the fullest extent and that the facili- ties afforded will be taxed to the limit in few years after this waterway Is opened Now what would it mean for the Birmingham district to be able to say that it could ship it's commodities tc the Gulf of Mexico by water the entire year? Would 1t not be better to extend this waterway on up to Bessemer where the canal could be reached by all rail- roads and where switching car rate pre- yails. and be able to ship these com modities by water? We already have four railroads to the Warrior river; would the building of other railroads give us any more advantage than we now have? Would 1t not be better for us if we had water rates to Bessemer rather than to some point on the Warrior river canal?
 Has Sufficient Water
 Even as far back as 1889 MT. Ripley the engineer in charge, stated that the building of this waterway to Bessemer was mot only feasible and desirable, and that there would be sufficient water the year around to carry on transportation His report was based on p locks from Bessemer to the Warrior river, low lift locks. Even under the old method ho estimated that the canal could be built to MaAdory's. below Bessemer. at a cost of $3,750,000 I quote from MT. Ripley's report that the expenditure of s3.750.Oo for canalizing Valley river is fully war ranted by the assured and prospective shipments from the district" Using the modern methods of high lifts as shown on the accompanying map, it is believed the canal could be built for less than this sum, and the canal would be greatly deepened and strengthened by the use of high lifts. besides impounding and sav- ing more water for dry periods. The great impounding reservoir on Village creek. put in by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, is an object les

with every corner of the ship. It is the most wonderful and the most fearful room on earth or sea.
 It Is a fortress within a fortress a steel cell within the steel walls of the fighting engine.
 To be in the control room during active service is to feel like being in a vault with the door locked on the outside. This little compartment, which visitors seldom see, will keep alive as long as there is a living soul on board able to hear and answer a call.
 It is through the control room that the commander issues his instructions, ob- serves and notes how the battle is going, calls the gun crews from place to place, directs the engineers. steers the whole fabric and supervises everything. If a submarine Is seen in any direction, it Is ported.
 At little bell rings. a voice far away speaks Submarine on the port bow, sir! Two leagues off' In an instant the answer thrills the gun crews: Ware submarine on the port bow, Enemy s craft! Ready" The gunners have been ready for sometime, and when the chief gunner has ''laid' the gun to his satis- faction, bang goes a message the enemy will not forget if 1t hits him.
 If gun has to cease fire the order comes through the control room If the enemy lands a shell on deck or any where in the warship, the doctors are notified that they are wanted at that spot almost as soon as the men have fallen. If the gun crew are dead, 1t Is from the heart of the ship that the order is given for fresh men to fill their places.
 Though the captain himself Is in the coming tower above, he knows through the officer in the control-room just what has happened to his ship and the extent of the damage; and if the captain is killed in the coming tower or on the bridge the chief officer in the control-room goes up at once.
 They know that even when the conning-tower has been sma shed by shot and shell and the bridge has beer away-as was the case in the recent fight off Helgoland-they must stick to theil switches so long as there Is an officer alive to direct operations. Not until the ship is blown up or rammed are they allowed to leave that little room, and then they go down with her.
 Up above the control room is the con ming tower, the brain of the warship al the control room is the heart.
 It is a steel blocxhouse. If the iron clad is a flagship she has two floors the top one being used by the admiral

 When 8 warship sails into action her heart pulses and throbs as eager for the fray as the hearts of any of her crew. Yes. warship has heart. The heart of warship is the control room deep down under the deck. situated aft, usually abaft the second funnel.
 Even on big fighting ships the heart ia small. Generally it is only 10 feet by six. and is almost noise-proet and eerily quiet It is really steel vault, entered by a door not unlike the door of a burglar proof safe.

and whenever the action begins the cap tain shuts himself up in his steel coming tower to direct the fighting.
 If the control room is the hottest place on board. the coming tower is. perhaps. the most dangerous. These are the two spots towards which most of the enemy g fire is directed and the chances are against either place remaining intact if the battle Is cf even moderate dura- ton.
 AT, example of how gunners always try to destroy the head and heart cf oppos- ing warships is furnished by the terrific battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Japan- csc war.
 On one of the Russian battleships the admiral and the captain were both killed in the coming tower within five minutes of the first shot being fired. Up came the second in command to take charge Be- fore he could get a proper view of the situation shell crashed through the con- ming tower again. This time not only the second in command was killed but also all the other officers in the tower.
 The quartermaster saw what had hap pened and telegraphed the disaster to the control room then, gathering together some junior officers, he ran to the tower through hail of grapeshot and bullets.
 The only officer who could take charge was young fellow, and he was not used to the business Of war. He found the coming tower filled with mangled re- mains and he tainted on the spot. Some- body roared message down the speaking tube for both engines to be reversed, for by this time the warship was drifting towards the enemy.
 But before the order could be obeyed another projectile tore great gap in her side, and the water rushed into her boiler room In a twnkling the ship was half filled She drifted to the Japan csc. full of dead and dying men, her-colors trailing in the water. In less than 15 minutes she had been reduced from 8 spic and span ironclad to waterloggsd. helpless derelict.
 Then the men in the control room were taken out, all dead. They had literally died in the heart of their ship.
