The Kiwanis club will lunch tomorrow with the allied armies in the Red Cross drive at the Tutwiler hotel. all members being urged to attend this luncheon, in- stead of their regular weekly luncheon at the Southern club.
 All clubs of the city, including the Kiwanis, Rotary. Civitan. Community and the Real Estate exchange will meet with the Red CroeS workers this week on the day of their luncheon, instead of at their regular place Of meeting, and par ticipate in the Red Cross luncheons, This action was taken by the organizations in view of the fact that most of the mem bers of all organizations are working with the allied armies in the drive and would be in attendance upon the Red Cross luncheons anyhow, and then, too, it is the intention of the clubs to give every possible assistance to the Red Cross campaign.

TRUE GREATNESS" SUBJECT OF SERMON AT FIRST METHODIST
Dr. Gregory Breaches Splen- did Sermon, Making Serv- ice the Standard of
 True Greatness

Tn the absence of pr. George R. Stuart, who is attending the general confer ence of the Methodist church. now in session in Atlanta, Rev. Carl c. Greg ory preached last night at the First Methodist church his subject being True Greatness.
 The history of the world, according to Carlyle, is but the biographies of great men, for the great man is really and truly the maker and creator of the age in which he lives" said Dr. Greg ory. Great men are profitable company. You cannot associate with a great man without being a better man yourself You cannot look at a. great man without getting the enthusiasm of his greatness.
 There was a time when the physical man was thought to be great: in the age when physical strength was exalted and worshiped. Physical strength is great ness, but do not make the mistake that time has come when the physical giant has stepped back and the man of brains has taken his place.
 "A man may have mental power, though, and yet be a weakling. In the midst of this material age We think in terms of dollars. Property is ability and power, and wealth is a form of great ness, but it is not true greatness. The Savior has said He that will be great among you. let him serve you
 ,"And today the world has a new stand ard-it is service Christ says to men in the road, You are seeking greatness. but you are on the wrong road You must serve the poor and the sick and the normal man in this work if you would be truly great. And that stand ard will take every ounce of manhood in you if you live up to it.
 'The world admires Woodrow Wilson, not on account of his wealth, his mas ter mind or his great physique, but be cause he serves. because he believes in service in doing things. He puts his shoulder to the wheel and is doing some thing all the time
 The one reason why Jesus Christ stands out today is because He came here to serve, not to be king or an au- tocrat, but a slave. As result Of this service He is adored today as the Lord of lords A man may be wealthy and strong physically and mentally, and yet not worth a shinplaster unless he has served The truly great man is the man who lives for others, who tries to make this world better to live in
 Turn the general course of life into the right direction-to that of service Ask yourself this question, How can help someone to be better man?
 Dr.. Gregory announced that pr. Stuart would be in his pulpit next Sunday night and that the commencement sermon of college would be preached at the First Methodist church Sunday

According to another version, the 81

it was meant as protest against the
action of the stakeholder, who, in calling
the Legislature together, announced that
no utterance would be tolerated regard
ing the independence of Alsace-L Lorraine
or its attachment to another federal
state of Germany. According to the

You Have to Pay Dearly
to Get Married

OVEN the German marriage ceremony
IL has been struck by the rush of war
prices. Couples, indeed, who are con-
tent to be tied up by wholesale at the
regulation hour set aside for the cere
mony inside the church, will continue to
be married free; but those who make
greater pretensions and call for a spe-
clal ceremony of their own will paw so
per cent more than hitherto. If inside
the church they will pay 18 marks, in
place of II. But that is the fee for
simple marriages only, with no great
display; if, however, there is Especial
ornamentation," the charge will be $50
marks, instead of rs. A similar in
crease has been made in the baptismal
fee in cases where the ceremony is bv
special appointment.
