 FINANCIERS HIT CITY

party came about 20 capitalists from Bos- ton, who were interested in the tetxile industry. They inspected the Indian Head mills at Cordova, and stopped over in Birmingham to view the district.

 Other excursions through the southern territory are expected. L. B. Franklin, vice president of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, said that he had chosen the Seaboard Air Line trip in preference to two other tours. The con- struction placed upon these tours locally is that there is vast accumulation of money in the east and as 1t is idle, the holders are seeking new fields for in- vestment.

MRS. ULLMAN TALKS ON SOCIAL SERVICE Phases of Work Outlined by Experts at B'Nai B'Rith
 Meeting

Social Service was the general theme of the meeting of the Birmingham lodge B'Nai BRith yesterday afternoon, at which Mrs. Sidney M. Ullman and Ralph s. Barrow were the principal speakers.
 In her discussion of '"The Jew and Social. Problems" Mrs. Ullman outlined the phases of social service with which the Jews as well as the other people will have to contend in both large and small cities. While these problems were declared by the speaker to be not acute at this time in the smaller cities and even in those the size of Birmingham, yet preparation must be made to meet them as the time is rapidly approaching when they must be solved.
 In the absence of Judge Samuel D. Murphy of the juvenile court Ralph S, Barrow, chief clerk of the court, spoke on What the BNai B'Rith Can Do Along the Line of Social Service" He explained in detail the numerous laws passed by the last legislature for the bet terment of sociological conditions in the state. He urged the establishment of state board of social service, which should be clothed with executive powers in all the counties of the state. Under the present system, he declared, the board had only advisory powers, which were not sufficient to meet the needs now existing. MT. Barrow outlined many ways in which the members of B'Nai BRith could assist in the improvement of so- cial conditions and in creating the sen timent necessary for the proper conduct of the work.
 Commissioner Arlie Barber and a mum Der of others discussed the various phases of social service work.
 I. NJ. Engel, president of the local lodge, presided at the meeting, which was held in the vestry room of Temple Emanu-El.

If he did, He were demon and not god"
 Tn concluding his sermon, Dr. Sweeney drew a graphic contrast between Con- fucius, Buddha, Mohammed and Jesus Christ, stating that the separation be- tween Jesus and these other teachers Is as wide as that between the human and the divine.

CRY OF THE YOUNG


 God made man and placed in him a universal desire to know and has then made no provision by which he may know. The great analogy of nature fails us at this, it's highest, point and man him. self is an organized lie, a great in- terrogation point to which there is no answer God placed within the mother bird the irristible impulse to go to the cry of it's young. Last summer in my Canada home, young robin fell from it's nest, bruised and suffering to the ground. I went to it's relief, but the
 mother bird beat me to it. She was not afraid, or if she were she braved death at the cry of her child. Many a hunter has lured deer to it's death by imitat- ing the cry of it's fawn. What will a mother not do for her child in distress?
 There is a beautiful story told in the old school readers of 50 years ago of a Scotch mother in the Highlands. Men and women were working side by side In the hay fields while the little children wrapped in cloaks and shawls, lay upon the hay in the open field. Suddenly a

shadow crossed the heavens above them. and looking up they saw a mother eagle swoop down over the field and clasp one of the little bundles in her talons and with the tiny one she made her way to- ward the eagle cliff to feed her young that cried unto her. Strong men started for the eagle cliff and huge, brawny arms tried to scale the wall of rock, but fell backward in defeat Just then wild cry was heard; mother had missed her little bairnie and was rushing to the eagle cliff; they tried to take her away and comfort her, but she put them aside as though they had been infants and reached the foot of the cliff, she inched her way slowly up the rock precipice, gained the eagles nest and saved her child

4IWANT TOKNOW" IS KEYNOTE OF SERMON Dr. Sweeney Speaks of Revelation at the First
 Christian Church ANCHOR OUR FAITH Nothing in the Nature of God That Forbids His Making
 Revelation
ANCHOR OUR FAITH

The first thing man says in this world is, I want to know and it's about the last thing he says. The little child comes into the world wanting to know, and the aged man departs from the world with the same desire"
 The above from the sermon of Dr. z T. Sweeney. pastor of the First Christian church, a the Sunday morning services, struck the keynote of the sermon, the subject of which was Has God Spoken to the World and Through Whom?"
 Having anchored our fath to the great fact that there is a God, I believe also that He will speak to us," Dr. Sweeney said. 'T believe that He has spoken to us; I believe, therefore, in a revelation from God disclosing His will toward us. There are many reasons why I believe this, but I shall cluster all my reasons around two which seem to be hemis- pheres, which, when put together, will complete the cirele.''
 Dr. Sweeney said that his first reason for believing @in a revelation is based upon the nature of God. I've have dem- onstrated that He has all power" he said, "He is not, therefore, lacking in power to make revelation if it is needed
 We have also demonstrated that He has all thought, and is, therefore, not lacking in the intelligence to make such q revelation And thirdly, we have dem- onstrated that He has all moral quality; He is not, therefore, lacking in the good ness to make a revelation provided such & revelation is necessary. He knows what to say, He has the power to say it and the love to prompt Him to say ii. There is, therefore, nothing in the na- ture of God that forbids His making a revelation.
 q WANT TO KNOW
 My second reason: Man, as he has been created, demands that God speak to him about matters upon which nature throws no light He is an everlasting cry tor truth About the first thing a man says in this world is, I want to know, and it is about the last thing he says. A little child comes into the world wanting to know and the aged man departs from the world with the same desire. I am Kentuckian and am proud of many things In my native commonwealth, and especial ly proud of her great men. One of the greatest men of Kentucky was George D. Prentiss, the author of The Dying Near. man whose genius could soar like the condor of the Andes above it's mountain home. As the great man lay upon his bed of death, he lifted his emanciated hands and with a seeking eye looked upon his companion and said Wire I want to know and the great head fell forward and the hand fell nerve less at his side and George D. Prentiss spirit took it's flight from thls world of problems. What was true of him is true of us all. We want to know because God made us to want to know. God never makes anything in vain When God made the bird and gave it wings, the obligation was laid upon Him to give

 FOR SENATE HONOR

statement that he would ask for the honor. It is understood that Senator James. who is on the scene, is conduct ing what is tantamount to an informal campaign. The struggle between the two, to have it's continuation in the first democratic caucus, will attract national attention, for whereas Senator Bankhead is regarded as one who has displayed independence in his senatorial procedure, Senator James is regarded as an unvary- ing administration man.

MAY SUPPORT JAMES

Should President Wilson play q part in the battle, it is thought certain that he will favor the Kentuckian. Senator James presided over both the Baltimore and St. Louis conventions and during the administration of the President has ardently supported his every suggestion. Senator Bankhead, on the contrary, was originally an Underwood and not Will son supporter, and later, managed with the late Senator Clarke of Arkansas a successful campaign against the admin istration's ship purchase bill
 Should the President remain hands off," the struggle between Bankhead and James will be one between the old-fash- toned and-fangled democrats.
 The outcome appears doubtful
