German Chancellor's
 Disingenuous Speech

~ ERMANY yearns for peace, but 0 it wants it on selfish and i'm possible terms.
 While Imperial Chancellor Won Hertling's speech in the Reichstag was less ridiculous than that of Count Roon's, delivered recently in the Prus- sian House of Lords, stating specifi- cally the demands Germany would make as conditions for ending the war, including a forty-five billion dollar indemnity to be paid by the allies, it will not be taken seriously by the world. Like other official ut terances coming from Berlin it was meant chiefly to impress the German peorle. That it was disingenuous goes without saying, for in the present generation insincerity has usually been the mark of German statesmanship. Certain it is that the German govern

We speak commonly of ''the thunder of the guns and the roets have always spread them selves on the terrific cannonade of a thunderstorm.

Birmingham Will Miss Dr. Sholl

M LTHoUGH Dr. E. H. sholl, 6A widely known and beloved physician, who passed away yester- day, had reached the rare age of eighty-six, he retained his faculties to the last and was leading an active life.
 No pioneer citizen or Birmingham was more highly esteemed than Dr. Sholl. A man of culture, he was an ornament to society, and as an office bearer in the Presbyterian church for long years he was recognized by the members of that denomination as one of it's strongest leaders. Religion with him was profoundly real and his devotional spirit served as a fine in spiration to those with whom he came in daily contact.
 Like most men of his full mental equipment and mate goodness Dr. Sholl was distinguished for modest bearing. He was resolute but gentle and sympathetic and no practitioner of medicine was ever kinder to the poor. His familiar figure will be greatly missed, and his family will receive the tender condolence of this entire community.

 Her prayer was an Illuminating and inspiring one. She lifted me out of the commonplace into the heavenlies. Her pleadings with God for victory for our cause thrilled me more than any mere war talk could have done. She was im- portuning the Lord God of Hosts to bel with Us, for we were fighting with clean hands and pure heart for right agains. might. When she ended l felt that Prayer moves the Hand which moves the world"
 And because this is true, let's stop for a few moments at noon each day this week and go above the noise of the traf- ! fic below to the rooms of the Civic as I sociation, where public prayer will be made. It will take only 20 minutes yet in that time one can get in tune with the Infinite.

PUBLIC PRAYERS-By Frank Willis Barnett

I sometimes wonder if people follow public prayers as closely as they do ser- mons. nc you? Ii. ,s..
 I have made it a rule to try and be in a sympathetic mood when any one is called upon to pray at prayer meetins, in church, or, at dinner, or public func- tons of any sort whatever
 Frequently just because man is a called upon to. offer prayer at a public gathering. It is easy enough to respond | in a perfunctory way, but it is hard to get into the prayer mood without prepa- ration.
 r A few years back I attended a college I opening and a prominent layman who was driving me home got to talking to me about how embarrassed he had been short while before when he dropped into his prayer meeting on his way home from his place of business and was called ! upon to pray. He said, 1T just wasn't in  | a praying mood ana couldn't do it.'' 1 I know one of the greatest lawyers al the south who, called upon to pray, did so, and after the meeting was over a number of men and women rushed up to congratulate him on his eloquent prayer" 1t seemed to really wound his ! sensibility in regard to prayer and he
 never again prayed in public. He seemed to think that he had cheapened the
 prayer spirit by having his effort char | acterized as though 1t had been speech. l If you will stop and watch it, you will | find that great deal which goes under the name of public praying is nothing
 but religious stump speaking, and is evil
 dently uttered more to convince the hear CTS than it is to wing its way to the
 mercy seat. It is talking to men in- | stead of talking to God. I haven't the quotation at hand but 1t was one of
 ShakespeaIe's characters who said:
 My words fly up, my mounts remain | below,
 | WVtoS Wilitodt tnOuSHtS never tO ASA " CAA go."
 Prayer is the souls sincere desire, l Uttered or unexpressed,
 i, The motion of hidden fire,
 That trombles in the breast"
 Emerson well says that No man ever
 prayed heartily without learning some thing
 l Dr. Len G. Broughton told me that hs
 made it rule when a man joined q
 him to be ready to pray when called upon at the next prayer meeting. Ht said he told railroad man this, but tht mans distress was so genuine that ht asked him what was the matter. Why I don't know how to pray" 'All right,
 said Broughton, then I will teach you This is what happened: "I taught hin j to say, Oh. Lord, have mercy on me { I sinner He asked if that was praying | Yes said l, if you mean it. He wen home and showed up on Wednesda, night. I saw that he was nervous. ant so to relieve his tension I called on hin
 to pray. He popped down on his knee
 and blurtel out, oh, Lord, have mer :,
 on me, for I am as mean as a dog.' liked to have broken up the meeting, bu
