To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In The Age-Herald of last Monday I read synopsis of forceful sermon preached by pr. Barnwell rector of the Church of the Advent. The sermon, of course, was on the scripture text for the day and as far as 1t exppunded Gods inspired word, will in all humility ac- cept it as Gods own message to me. But when minister, an ordained servant of the Word. steps outside of his province and dilates on politics and current topics giving us not Gods wisdom but his own

 The reverent doctor says in the course of his sermon that the sin of Germany today is her individualism. Well, 1t is a strange thing that Germany has been more often accused of the opposite fault that of exalting the state to the detrI- ment of the individual and there is some 1 req son for this blame. But let that pass Dr. Barnwell has the right of his owr
 opinion. but when he says that the pa

Huntsville Veterans Will
 Attend Annual Reunion

Huntsville, May 5.--(Special.) )-Eg- bert Jones camp of Confederate veter- ans is making preparations to send the reunion in Washington next month If possible, all of them will be in uni form. and those who are unable to pay for their own will be assisted by the Daughters of the Confectionery. W. M Jordan, J. A. Steger and Daniel H. Tur- ner were elected as delegates to repre- sent the camp at the reunion.
 Memorial Day exercises which werG postponed from the regular date of April 26 because of the lack of flowers in this latitude, will be held tomorrow by the Confederate Veterans and Daughters of the Confederacy. The vet erans will assemble at the Central Presbyterian church at the morning hour of church services and hear a special sermon delivered by Rev. r. L, Wear. In the afternoon they will gath CT at Maple Hill cemetery and hear an address by M. U. Griffin and then the veterans and daughters will decorate the graves of all Confederate soldiers buried there. It Is estimated that there are now about 500 Confederate graves In this large cemetery.
 Two of the leading bankers of Hunts, vile, both presidents of banks, are do- Ing their part for their country, accord ing to a Huntsville daily paper. One of them has sent three sons and a nephew to the army, while the other is doing his work in overal1s, nine- tenths of his daylight hours now being spent in having food crops planted in every corner of his several farms.
 
 The negro farmers of Madison coun- ty pledged their support to the greater food crops movement today when they held mass meeting in the county courthouse under the auspices of the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce. The negro farmers are thoroughly inter- ested and they expect to break all local records in the production of grains and

est loan ever authorized by any coun- try even in these unprecedented war times Win the financial position of our government be strained by this increase of from $1, 900, 100000 to sS,000, GOO 009 bonded debt? As pointed out this week in Wall street. there are just four channels through which the pending government bonds can reach the in vesting public hoarded cash through checks drawn against bank balances; through cash raised by the sale of bonds and stocks already owned, or by loans made through banks. How will the credit of the nation, general trade, and the stock and bond markets be influenced by the forthcoming gigantic war loan?
 An increase in outstanding indebted ness of from $1,000, 100000 to $S,0O0,- 900 O00 in one plunge when taken by itself is staggering, it must be admit ted. But that is only because the in- crease works out TOO per cent The facts are that, compared with other countries. we do not know anything about national debt On April l, 1917 the bonded debt of these United States was exactly s1,023 357, 250, of which bare 25 per cent was in the hands of the investing public; today Englands debt is s10.000.000.
 That is just one way of showing that a bonded debt of SS,000, 100000 for the United States Is a relatively small amount Another way is to point out that England's present national debt amounts to $433 per capita, against SIT at the outbreak of the European war, August 1. 1914 With our bonded debt at sS,000. .000,0 the load on each back would be only $S0 against England's present load of $433 On April 1, 1917. the per capita debt Of the United States was only s10

i It is spring, "the boyhood of the year,
 as Tennyson called 1t, and there are but few of us who have not heard the soft Nature, shaded by the fresh green of the trees, is clothed in a robe of varie-
 gated flowers; the chirping songs of birds is her orchestra, and her canopy, the azure sky.
 The Pied Piper" of spring pipes gaily and coaxes us over hills where the won derful handiwork of God is revealed. Everything is putting on new life. The air is redolent with the fragrance of wild flowers, sweet-scented mountain laurel, violets, vining roses, and a galaxy of others, ranging in color from velvet purple to dainty pastel shades. On the rustic fences honeysuckle has entwined itself and in some shady spots has made bower for the tired traveller. The green hills and meadows are sprinkled with buttercups and primroses, and ever flit- ting about them are butterflies, in their spring costumes of yellow and brown and red.
 The apple orchards are a mass of pink and snowy white blossoms The birds have already built their nests in the twisted branches of these trees-and how gaily they sing! First it Is the many changing notes of tbe robin, as he peals forth soft love song, and then changes it to an appealing call for his mate who flutters to the branch where he so saucily sits. Higher up Is the more care fully woven cradle of the oriole and flying from branch to branch Is the ever joyous bluebird, singing his song of happiness.
 The open country has been converted into endless stretches of upturned soil, into which man has sown both seed and hope.
 Deep in the woods, the naples have begun to bud, and around them the air is made drowsy by the droning of bees. The willows are putting out their green sprouts: the poplars and beeches have

Don't Buy Anything For Rupture Without Privilege of Thorough Test

There's only one reason in the world why you or any one else ever gets sad dled up with good-for-nothing make shifts
 It's simply because you trust to a mere try-on or nasty examination in stead of first making thorough test truss or so-cal1ed "appliance" may seem all right when you first try 1t on and afterward prove utterly worthless. The only way you can ever make sure of exactly what you are getting Is by sixty-days trisl--a thorough day-after- day test.
 And there's only one thing of any kind whatever for rupture that you can get on such a long trial
 Only one thing good enough to stand such long and thorough test
 That's our guaranteed rupture holder.
 Only Thing Good Enough
 To Stand 60-Day Test
 We'll make you guaranteed rupture holder-make it to your measure-and let you give 1t thorough 60-day test.
 If it cannot be made to keep your rupture from coming out or from both ering you in any way, no matter how hard you work or strain--if it doesn't t prove every claim we make--then it won't cost you single penny.
 See What It Does
