DR. EAVES GRATEFUL
 FOR BOWIE'S LETTER
as Not Concerned With Movies" But With Attitude of Ministers
 of the Gospel

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Will you please give me space to express thanks to Hon. s. J. Bowie for his very kind letter of this morning, in which he champions not only me, but cause of human liberty against the attacks of the Rev. l.. F. Whitten
 I am greatly averse to occupying so much of your valuable space, but do earnestly desire to express my regret that Dr. Whitten clearly proves what I had Indeed feared must be the case, viz: that he has devoted himself so energetically to enforcing the law that he has uncon- scously grown quite away from the spirit of the gospel. He reminds one of the zeal of certain early disciples who desired to call down fire from heaven upon the unorthodox and inhospitable Samaritan village, whose offense was surely greater than mine. Those disciples, you remem- ber were reproved in the words, "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of" I am forced to say the same of Dr. Whitten. He is actually willing to attack me through the unfortunate sick whom ] am trying to serve. Venom could go no further.H f
 | that in all this correspondence I am not concerned with the movies whether on Sunday or any other day, but with the ministers who, as I see it. have departed from the essential thing for which they stand when they join hands to force upon the people a Sabbath law My conten- ton simply is that the enforcement of law is not the business of ministers of the gospel. and in this contention I claim I have the support of all the great heralds of the gospel from Paul onwards and that wherever ministers of the gospel have taken another course they have brought sorrow and disappointment to their cause. I have kept out of the movie' question because I desired to speak only as a minister to ministers.
 The one great need in Birmingham and in every other city that I know of is a passionate return to simple direct, ir- resistible faith in the power of the spir- ttual life. By this I mean that in these days, when all of the old institutions and traditions are challenged, there is all the more necessity to depend upon, and there fore to possess, the authority illustrated by the Man of Nazareth.
 have it also in mind to once more ex- plain to Dr. Whitten that the decalogue was written in Hebrew. a comparatively unknown language, not in Greek or Ger man or Chinese But my anti -aircraf fit guns cannot reach him-a Zeppelin amid the clouds. Yet they are good guns,
 As to pr. Whitten's acquaintance with the Apostle Paul, he quite unintention- ally exhibits likeness to that great man in the period concerning which Paul him self said that he was more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of This fathers than the rest of his country men, And as to my large salary" I as- sure the people of Birmingham that, until the needs of this association are met l am trying to manage on a salary that keeps me poor.
 Again apologizing for inflictng myself upon your readers and your space, very cordially, GEORGE EAVES.

WITHOUT MURMUR POINTER C0NFESSES . AND GETS SENTENCE Starts for Atlanta in Few Minutes After Judge
 Grubb's Decision Is
 Announced

With never a murmur of expiana ton
 as to what caused his downfall Marion
 L. Pointer. former savings teller of the
 Traders National bank. stepped before United States William l. Grubb early yes terday morning and pleaded guilty to ! the indictment charging the ernbezzlement
 of over 5000 of the banks funds. Judge Grubb immediately sentenced him to five years in the federal penitentiary
 at Atlanta and Pointer. in the custody of
 federal deputy United States marshal, left con the 9.15 morning train to begin serving his term.
 The discovery of the defalcation was confirmed by President John II. Frye of
 the Traders bank last Sunday. It was also stated at that time that Pointer had admitted the dedication but would give no explanation IS to where the funds had gone. Pointer was not arrested, but | placed under surveillance. l On Tuesday afternoon Pointer was in- dicted and he then announced that he | would enter a plea of guilty and seek | minimum sentence. He never engaged
 an attorney to represent his interest and i with several intimate friends came to the | federal building yesterday morning, where | the indictment was read to him by Judge l Grubb. He answered quietly:
 1 T plead guilty"
 {, Judge Grubb then said: T sentence you | to serve five years in Atlanta" and few | to the Terminal station, still accompanied ! by his friends When asked for a state.
 ment Pointer said that he did not think
 it would be advisable to make one. By good behavior in Atlanta Pointer can secure his release in about four years.
