 take part in what many pronounced t
 be one of the very best programmes ye

 nearly 5000 attended during the after noon.
 The ukulele numbers proved to be popular with the audience and were cheered repeatedly. A special feature
 was the Hawaiian songs by a group using the ukuleles as accompaniment The vocal solo by Mrs George B. King Somewhere Voice Is Calling" was one of the features of the programme and the applause indicated that it was greatly enjoyed by all present. There were more band numbers than usual five in all, which were rendered by the community band in pleasing way. Or account of the growing demand for band numbers, Director Lawrence had the special ones put on the programme. The Selection From Aida" and the Pa triotic Patrol" which were among these numbers, were especially enjoyed. The other band features were Selection fTCrn IannnduSeT, f1unIlDR scene and Simplicity"
 William Nappi, director of the band, rendered. a cornet solo, 'Inflammatus, T" which was a winner.
 Instead of the regular invocation, the Lcrds prayer was repeated in unison at the services yesterday afternoon and after a salute was made to the flag, America" was sung by the audience. The audience also sang Nearer My God to Thee" and My Old Kentucky Home"

 During an intermission Mrs. Solon Ja- cobs made an appeal to the women of Jefferson county to do all in their power to get every woman in the county to register Wednesday in an announcement she made to the effect that all registrars will meet in the ballroom of the Tutwler hotel at Il o'clock this morning to get thorough information on how to register and about the plans of the registration committee. Mrs. Jacobs made 1t clear that the reg istration and the work to be done in Alabama will be entirely voluntary Al though in some of the other states 1t was required that the women register, in Ala bama we are relying solely on the pa triotic motives of the women and we all feel sure that they will respond heartily she said. "Women who regis ter will not have to leave their commu- mites or even their homes unless they are perfectly willing after they register The government wants to learn just now how strongly 1t can depend on its womer I in case of emergency and just how muct | they can do. There is some work that every woman can do no matter where she may be. Therefore, it is the duty oi every woman to register and I trust that there will be none who fail to dc that duty.'
 Many among the great crowds that at. tended the singing pronounced ''Ukulele Day. decided success.

.DR. HARRIS DELIVERS HIS INITIAL SERMON New Pastor of Presbyterian Church Addresses Large
 Congregation

Dr. A. G. Harris preached his first ser
 mon yesterday at the Second Presbyte-
 rian church to a large congregation. A special service was rendered him at the
 morning sermon,s when he was welcomed
 to the city by his new congregation.
 Rev Harris comes to Birmingham from
 Greenville, N. C., where he gained record
 for building a strong church as well as
 making himself known as a power for
 Christianity. He is a graduate of the
 Theological seminary of Richmond, and
 has taken a postgraduate course at
 Princeton. He is one of the youngest
 pastors in the district, and comes with
 all the vigor and enthusiasm of youth
 to his new work.
 At the sermon yesterday morning Rev.
 Harris preached on the topic, God s
 Valuation of a Man. He showed how
 God sets value on all things, but sets
 higher one on man partly because Of
 his marvellous physical body and because
 of his mind that enables him to think, but chiefly because of his immortal soul
 which gives him eternal life He then
 gave illustration of the value of man,
 and showed how the standard has changed during the history of the world.
 The influence of Christianity in placing higher value on the individual and emphasizing the personal relation with God was touched upon and the way in which the world Is beginning to realize more and more fully what this valuation that Jesus Christ taught means. The thought of the sermon was then brought up to the present time, and conclusions from the world war drawn. Rev. Harris declared that the war might be inter- preted as a struggle for the protection of small nations and individual men against the ruthless aggrandizement of a mighty force, and that the outcome of the war would result in more impor- tance being laid on the individual and the laying aside forever the old doctrine that might makes right and that the strong can oppress the weak without humanity arising in arms for the pro- lection of the weak He declared that the soldier of this war should rank with the crusaders of old, and that theiI cause was fully as noble a one.

LECTURES ON GREAT
 REFORMATION ARE
 BROUGHT 10 CLOSE
Dr. Seddon Gives Learned Views on Luther and Alex ander Campbell and
 Points Out Difference

At the North Birmingham Christian church last night pr. Seddon brought to close his series of Sunday night lectures in commemoration of the great reformation 400 years ago. Having al- ready in a previous lecture told the story of Martin Luther. the speaker said he would refer very briefly to Alexander Campbell, preferring to de- vote more time to comparison and a contrast of the works accomplished by these two great men.
 It was now little more than cen- tury, stated Dr. Seddon. since Alex ander Campbell and his father. Thomas Campbell, together with other godly men. such as Barton W. Stone, Waiter Scott, Isaac Brett and others, filled with sorrow and dismay by the sec tarian spirit of the churches and the prevailing infidelity of the great mass of the people. conceived that the best and indeed the only way to restore unity to a divided church and faith to an apostate population was to ad- vocate a return to doctrine and prac- tice of the primitive church as estab lished by Jesus Christ and his apos- tles

HISTORY DE CHURCH

Campbell, Of course, nad the ad vantage of Luther in living 300 years later and having the opportunity of studying the effects of Lutheranism as revealed in the history of the church and of the world
 Campbell had the further advantage of having been well instructed in scripture from his earliest childhood, being nurtured in home where piety reigned. Whereas. Luther never saw q copy of the scriptures until he had reached mature years.
 POINTS OUT DIVERGENCE
 The points of divergence between these two great teachers of men as presented by the lecturer may be sum marked as followsi
 Luther's dominant thought was jus
 tification by faith" Campbelrs was "back to apostolic teaching and prac l. tice."
 Luther's work was largely destruct- i've, pulling down the pretentions of the papaey and sacredotalism; Camp bells work was entirely constructive,
 building on the foundation laid by Christ and his inspired apostles.
 Luther drew up long creed, "The Augsburg Confession,- that opened the way to endless disputes and resulted in the numerous sects or Protestantism Campbell perceived the sufficiency of the simple creed of Peters comics sion, Thou art the Christ, the Sor of the living God"
 HUMAN TRADITIONS Luther. while magnifying the scrip lures as the word of God did not ai- together break loose from human tra- ditions. some of which made void that word. Campbell teaches that the Bible alone has the right to speak with au- thority In all matters pertaining to the Christian religion.
 Luther preached baptism, faith and repentance; Campbell preached faith repentance and baptism and justified that order by referring to the teach ing and practice of the apostles Luther's idea of Christian liberty was to a very large extent freedom from Rome's thraldon; Camphells con- ception of Christian liberty was free dom from the law of sin and death through the operation of the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Luther was ever ready to accept | the help of the state establish the reformed religion which he preached | Campbell knew too well the evil con l sequences of a state established re- ligion to seek state alliances or even I to desire them.
 The lecture concluded by a state
 ment of the wonderful progress that had been made by this "restoration | movement since its inception a little
 more than 100 years ago.
