Dr. Harris Compares Leadership of Wilson
 With That of Gideon
Strong Sermon at Second Presby- terian Church Yesterday Full
 of Patriotism

A striking sermon was preached by Rev. A. Grady Harris at the Second Presbyterian church yesterday, using the story of Gidion as an example of the power of small body of deter mine men when under the leadership of strong man.
 In an effort crowded with patriotic applications, pr. Harris compared the present conditions of our country with other striking changes in the worlds s history. and the strong leadership of President Wilson with that of Crom- well and Washington. Reminding his opportunity he made the point that the hand of God was in the choosing of Wilson, who is a churchman and a man of strong religious convictions to lead the nation at this time of their extremity
 "'Every one must do his bit is a phrase much used at this time, and it was well illustrated in the we'll known story of Gideon and his band, and is true in very practical way at this time, and if the people of today are to accomplish anything for good they must practice this slogan as never be fore" said pr Harris.
 'The man that gets things done in this world is the man that sticks to his purpose with grim determination, and nation that has the leadership of strong men who believe in the righteousness of their cause. and will stick ever lastingly at it will see their cause tri- umph in the end.'
 Dr. Harris emphasized the fact that there is much to be thankful for in the matter of leadership of our coun- try at this time. and called on his con gregation to attend a union Thanks giving service that will be held in the Second Presbyterian church on Wednesday evening at s o'clock which will be joined in by the congregation of the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church and all the people of that sec ton of the city.

 sons occupied seats in the balcony. The concluding number, the Star Spangled Banner" was sung at 5:30, which was schedule time The ar engagements were carried out without the least hitch or confusion. Mir. Lsw- renee said he felt sure that both au- diences next Sunday would be meas
 ured by the capacity of the build : ing.
 The programme was especially at. tractive. The Philharmonic orchestra, under the baton of Philip Memoli was at it's best. The "Intermezza Pittor- esque" by Kocian was presented here for the first time. It is not only very beautiful composition but it reveals fine musicianship. It was played with finish and convincing interpretation. Mrs. T. l.. Bissell, soprano, had an

The Christmas membership drive VIII be nationwide" according to Robert Jemlson, Jr. who returned to Birming- ham yesterday from meeting of the committee held in the gulf division headquarters in the federal building in New Orleans. At this meeting the slo- gan adopted was Make it a Red Cross Christmas" and judged by the enthu- siasm displayed by the committeeman and the patriotic manner in which the state representa- tives have undertaken the work, Alabama, Louisiana and Mis- sissippi will meet the allotted number made by the national headquarters of the war council through the gulf di- vision.
 CHRISTMAS MEMBERSHIPS
 Everyone taking out membership in the Red Cross during the drive period will be known as a Christmas mem Der, said MT. Jenison to a represen- tative of The Age Herald. when he re- turned to Birmingham from the New Orleans conference. "Tne effort practi- cally will be limited to securing annual memb CTS, paying annual dues of Sl or s2 in the case Of subscribing or maga- zine members.
 "The war council of the American Red Cross has conceived that a great na- tional purpose will be served by having membership in the Red Cross almost as universal as citizenship" continued MT. Jemison. Although pledged as a na- tion to the national purpose during this great crisis, it will not be granted to a large percentage of us to play part in the fighting branches of our country S service. All of us. however. can be
 identified with the Red Cross, which in these times, when whole nations are organized for warfare, is big enough and strong enough to carry some of the bur dens for our soldiers, our sailors and our allies
 We want a Red Cross of 15.000,9 900 menb bers. We want the strength and support that will grow from this army of members. The war council of the Red Cross has set Christmas time to attain this goal, because we believe that the Red Cross and Christmas spring from the same spirit and we wish to bring to- gether these two great symbols of mercy, sacrifice and cheer. On this, the first Christmas in the war, we want the Red Cross symbol to add not spirit of de- lection. but the thought of serious pur- pose and sacrifice which through &C., complishment it represents. We hope that from this Christmas campaign of 1917 will grow permanent custom which will increase the significance of both Christmas and the Red Cross

Another ore shoot, even richer
than that opened last week, was
struck Wednesday night at the Wen
den Copper cOmpany's property just
north of Cunningham pass.
The new shoot, like the one which
startled the district a few days ago,
was opened at a depth of 125 feet.
1t is a streak of solid glance from
eighteen to twenty-five inches wide
and averages close to fifty per cent
copper It's gold content can only
be estimated.
Assays of samples from the first
strike, a shoot of glance four feet
wide, averaged $22.70 ton gold and
thirty-six per cent copper.
Twenty per cent copper ore has
been struck at a depth of between
500 and 800 feet at the property OF
the Jerome Wenden Copper com
pany, south of Wenden in the Har-
cuvars. This is the group formerly
known as the Nuevo Mundo.
The face of the crosscut tunnel
which has been driven 400 feet into
the side of the mountain is all in ore
1t is to be continued across the
formation, and it is quite possible
that a big body will be opened.
