THE PRODIGAL SON THEME OF SERMON
 BY DR. GEO. STUART
Christ's Attitude Toward Sinners Graphically Told in Story of the
 Prodigal Son

Despite he sultry risht. Dr. George R. Stuart preached a fine sermon to a well sjlled house last night at the First Methodist church. taking for his subject. '"rhe Prodiy5l Sen"
 An unusually long text was selected, covering q whole chapter in which J-srs was shown talking and eating wish the Publicans. the graftsrs of old Rome, of their conversion. and of the manner in which the Scribes and Pharisees looked upon his actions
 Jesus did all of his teaching on earth by the use of stories-pictures ,' said Dr. Stuart in the course of his talk When he made answer to their jeers for talking and eating with these political cancers. he did not try to argue with them. You can't argue with fellow of that kind He simply took a little time and told them a little story-of the shepherd who had a flock of a hundred sheep; of the one that wandered off into the mountains; how he left the 99 and went in search of the lost one, bringing it home on his shoulders when found, not scoldine or beating it for it's actions
 HUMOROUS REMARK
 'He told them of the prodigal son, who wandered away from his fathers home into strange land to spend the money that his father had given him; where he lived in debauchery and when he had spent all of his money a famine came over the land' Do you know l think that that is the most humorous remark that Jesus ever made,P continued pr. Stuart @Why. human nature hasn't changed a bit since Adam first stepped into the Gar den of Eden I will explain that state ment later. But anyhow. this boy got so far down that he had to feed hogs for living, and he subsided on the husks that he fed to the hogs. Oh, he was in awfully hard luck. Spent all that he had-broke-away from homo in strange Iand-all his fair weather friends gone. But finally he decided to go home and beg his fathers forgiveness and hire out to him as a laborer
 When this boy arrived home what did his father say? Get out of here. You dirty young scoundrel. you have disgraced me and your mother and the family. What are you coming back around here for again?' No, he didn't say that or anything like that. He saw the boy coming from a distance and ran out to meet him and had a servant to bring robes in which to elothe him ring for his hand and had the fatted calf killed in honor of his return

Billy Sunday is coming to Birmingham sometime during the latter part of Feb ruary and will remain here throughout March, according to letter received yes- terday by W, s. Stallings. secretary of the '. M. c. A., one of the members of the committee who have been seeking the services of the noted evangelist for a revival campaign in Birmingham.
 We will hold meeting at the r. NJ. C. A. Monday afternoon at o'clock for the purpose of definitely determining the date of opening the campaign in Bir- mingham," stated MT. Stallings last night.
 It will be remembered that Billy Sun day closed most successful revival in Atlanta some months ago, and that he was sought for Birmingham immediately following his meeting In Atlanta. but he had previous enga gements that engaged his entire time throughout 1918. but agreed to come to Birmingham early in 1919
 The Rev. Sunday will very likely hold meeting in Chattanooga just prior to coming to Birmingham. IL is the con sensus of opinion of the committee that he will begin his Birmingham campaign on February 10, this date being sug-

Many Sites Offered Over the State, But Were Found Unsatisfactory - Clark
 Property Best Offer
PROPERTY ACQUIRED
 REASONABLE TERMS:
 WILL BE IMPROVED
Generosity of Gen. Clark Praised-Property to Be Improved as Soon as
 Funds Are Available

Forney Johnston. chairman of the local committee to raise funds for the State Training School for Girls at East Lake. makes q statement in reference to the plans which have been adopted by the board of governors of the school and which have been approved by the govern or. He states these plans had been adopted before the recent report of the grand jury, but had not been made pub lic as the titles had not been approved and the transaction actually closed He states the report of the grand jury in reference to present conditions was ac- curate
 He states negotiations have been com pieted for the purchase of the homestead offered by General Clark, consisting of oi5 acres, and Improvements on the Chaikville road beyond East Lake. and lying equidistant between Trussville and Pinson. The terms and conditions of the sale and other details are given by Mir. Johnston in the following state ment:
 PRESENT PLANS
 wish to state briefly the present plans which have been adopted by the board of managers and approved by Governor Henderson for the. State Training School for Girls, said MT. Johnston
 The grand jury was not Informed of these plans at the time of it's recent ac- curate report concerning the overcrowded and intolerable situation at East Lake. The board of managers had made no publication of these plans, as it was thought best to await until titles were approved and the transaction actually closed.
 It was not practicable or desirable to expend the money contributed recently by the Birmingham public in attempting improvements of the East Lake buildings. ana the board of managers has pro- ceeded with all possible expedition in de tsrmining the matter of a permanent site and plant
 THE SITE SELECTED
 Sites for the school have been inspect ga m number of counties in the state. Sometime ago a site was offered in Mont gomery county in exchange for the East Lake property. It was carefully inspect ed and found unsatisfactory. A similar proposition was made by public spirited men in Birmingham on the same terms Tor site on the Pinson road
 On account of the necessities of the school and it's limited funds, it was found impracticable to acquire an unimproved site and sustain the delay and expense incident to the construction of the neces- sary building, After careful considera- ton of every prospect, the Clark home stead on the Chalkville road. beyond East Lake and lying eauidistant between Trussviile and Pinson proved to be un- occasionally the best.

CHEVROLET WINS
 AUTOMOBILE DERBY
Favorites Make Poor Show ing-DePalma Makes
 Lap Record

Chicago, June @.-Driving the 100 miles without . stop or accident at the rate of 10S miles an hour, Louis Chevrolet, the Friench driver. won the automobile derby handicap valued at s3o.Ooo at the speed way course today. His time was 55 :25. Ralph Mulford thundered into second place minute and 42 seconds behind him and Ira Vail finished third. His time was 5S:15.
 Tine performance of the favorites. Dario Resta, Ralph DePalma and Arthur leave from the French army, were dis appointing. Resta gave up the race in the fortieth mile after being driven into the pits three times by a balky en- zine He was 42 miles behind the leaders when he wheeled off the tarck. DePalma lost eight miles as a result of motor trouble and finished eighth. Duray was so far in the rear that the crowd didn't wait to see him finish
 More than 45000 persons, the largest crowd that ever witnessed a motor race in Chicago, packed the huge stands to watch the thrilling tests of speed. The crowd was given thrill when DePalma, in an exhibition before the 10o-inile grind, made the fastest lap in the history Of the course. He drove his car around the oval in 1:02:41. an average of 1l5.s miles an hour This broke the record of 1132 miles an hour established by Resta four years ago.
 Resta made a good show In the Chicago handicap, 10-nile dash, preceding tho big race. by driving his car into first place in the final heat, Resta started at scratch with Chevrolet, and nosed the veteran Frenchman out by two car lengths in a stirring finish. Barney Old field who started at 10 seconds, was third The time was 5:33.
 There were IA starters in the 1o0-mlle event. Denny Hickey finished fourth, Oldield fifth, Tom Alley sixth and Tom Milton seventh.

THE SITE SELECTED
OFFSETS AND ADVANTAGES


 The only objectionable feature is the matter or distance from the railroad, be- ing about three miles and half from Trussville, and approximately the same distance from Pinson, and about three quarters of an hours run by automobile from Birmingham Tt is hoped that the beard of revenue will be willing to con struct the road already surveyed be- tween Pinson and the site, which re- drces the distance to little more than two miles, with no appreciable grades Existing roads from Pinson and Truss ville are fairly passable and the insti- tuition will endeavor to secure light truck. With the roads put in fair con dition that distance from the railroad is not an undesirable feature for the school There is an excellent road to East Lake. Aside from the disadvantage stated, there is no doubt of the fact that General Ciarks generous offer presented an op- portunity which the board~of managers could not afford to decline.
 MATSUYAMA FARM
 The tract consists of approximately 575 acres, of which 125 acres are cleared and in an excellent state of cultivation, plant cd down in orchard and pecan grove with good bottom land. The spring upon the place is one of the finest in the state. The unimproved ground cost Gem eral Clark over s15,00o when purchased by him several years ago. The general has expended over sl40.000 on the place The buildings are of such character that Fl. B. Wheelock, who has been kind enough to make a careful study of the situation. advised the governor in con- ference we had with Governor Henderson a few days ago, that an expenditure of approximately $10,0o0 would render the present buildings upon the place capable of accommodating over 100 girls The knoll on which the main buildings are now located will accommodate a number of additional cottage units designed accord ing to the modern practice in the con duct of such institutions At the present price each unit will cost, completed and furnished. about $22.000; and will accom- nlodate 90 girls. As General Clarks place
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-06-23

as II now stands, with an additional BIO Ooo, will accommodate 100 girls. it will be seen that the value of the present offer to the institution is so overwhelm- ingly in excess of the amount which the state will have to pay that it could not be rejected.
 GEN. CLARK'S LIBERALITY
 It is difficult to estimate the amount of the donation on the part of General Clark which this sale involves. As a matter of fact it should not be regarded as sale, for the reason that the own CT has. under present conditions. re- ceived offers equivalent to several times exceeding the amount to be paid by the school-$25,o0o It is a handsome and public spirited action.
 PRESENT REQUIREMENTS
 Governor Henderson has always taken the position that $50,00o, the amount of the state appropriation, was and is in- adequate to secure site and construct an adequate plant He has been un- willing to get out of the East Lake situa- ton only to encounter a worse one, with several hundred girls involved. He has relaxed his well founded conclusions in this respect on condition that the board of managers will secure the donation to the original cost. in cash or it's equiva- lent. before calling upon him for the re- lease of additional funds for plant ex- tension. This will require the friends of the institution to secure contributions in funds or equipment amounting to from s5000 to $7000 before proceeding with the construction of additional cottage units.
 In the meantime the purchase of the site and it's improvements will proceed.
 IMMEDIATE NEEDS
 At the present prices it will require about $22o0 for domestic equipment for the present buildings. An automobile truck is indispensable. All substantial contributions of this character will be credited on that part of the purchase price to be advanced by the state which must be repaid before the school can secure the release of additional funds for cottage extensions. There are at require the care of this institution, and the liberaiity Of the Birsningham public must be again imposed upo,. ssefors the institution can be put squarely upon its feet. Further campaigns for contribu-' tions are undesirable, and it is hoped that with this definite knowledge of the re- quirements the friends of the defenseless girls of the state will respond to the sit uation.
 THE FEDERAL SITUATION
 The board of managers has been de- sirous of being of some assistance in the situation arising out of the location of training camps in the state. They could not expect to meet adequately the grave questions falling peculiarly within the camp follower problem. Put So far as consistent with the statutory and social policy of the institution, its services have been offered to the camp welfare agencies of the government. To this end. the East Lake house will be ofsere,. a the war apartment and Mrs. E'alconers com mittee has been requested to construct a cottage upon the Clark site for the training and custody of the youthful giels menaced by camp conditions. whose training in the institution will af- ford prospects of their reclamation.
