DR. BOWLING SAYS THAT EPIDEMIC HAS
 REACHED ITS CREST

Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer,
 stated last night that while in his opinion the influenza epidemic had reached it's crest. he still strongly urged the general use of the face mask and other precautionary measures by the public in order that the most serious stage of the epidemic may be safely passed.
 Although the health department of flee was kept open all day yesterday for the purpose of answering any calls for help from those stricken with the disease and to guard the conditions of the epidemic in general, no calls were received, very few cases were reported Nine burial permits were issued for deaths of influenza or pneumonia.
 The Detail Merchants association met Saturday morning for the purpose of taking steps towards the universal wearing of masks among employees and it is understood that the first steps taken was to purchase masks that every employe might have one. Accord ing. to Dr. Dowling's statement now is tffe time to avoid contact with the disease, exposure, and to take all pre- cautionary measures urged by the health department through the press and individually, thereby aiding in get ting the malady under control while it Is on a decline.

SERGT. ROTHERMEL TELLS EXPERIENCES
 IN ARMY SERVICE

Sergeant w. L. Rothermel, recently re- turned from Camp Pike. where he was mustered out of service, tells some in terestng things about camp life and about his experiences while in service He was called to the colors late in June. being among the last in the first draft to be called. During the short time that he was in the service he rose from a private to the rank of sergeant. Sergeant Rothermel is an old newspaper man, having served on the reportorial staff of the Mobile Register and the Houston Post. He has also written general short stories which have been published in sev eral leading magazines.
 A striking example of the efficiency and the spirit of 'carry on'' of the sol diers at Camp Pike was the construction by them of park with a capacity for 5000 spectators in 1872 hours. This was done to meet an emergency Camp, Pike and Camp Funston football teams Wanted to have a game one Saturday and the owner of the park which had been used for such purposes wanted to charge an exorbitant price for the use of it. The men refused to pay it and, after brief consultation of officers, it was decided that they would build one of their own. Soon the changing of hammers and the rUHDling or wagons WAb HodIu dHa lHc above result was accomplished.
 On November the officers and men at Camp Pike began the publication of "The Camp Pike Carry On," weekly periods cal of F or II pages devoted to Camp Pike. interests. On it's pages are found snort topics, camp humor and real news concerning the status of the men still in camp and their future prospects ir private life.

AMERICA CRUC|B[E
 FOR WORLD FAITHS Dr. Simpson Speaks on American Conception of
 Christian Liberty
fl Birmingham, As. Statement November l, 1D1S
 vEnIrnENE2

Mot that we would exercise lordship over your faith, but be helpers of your joy"
 "This,'' said Dr. Robert N. Simpson of the First Christian church in his morn ing sermon yesterday. Ifs the word of a man who suffered from misconstruc- tion of his real heart purpose. Unfair decisions in the judgment of human mo- tive are handed down from the bar of human opinion every passing moment The living nor the dead escape the tri- bunal in our judgment of the purposes of the heart; the bond nor the free, the clean nor the unclean.
 "The motives of Jesus were more often adjudged false than true. Hf was moved with compassion, but the verdict on the lips of his defamers was that he wanted to outrank Caesar in popular esteem Paul in defending the pure purposes deeply rooted in his own honests heart used thes words of the text. He did not want to write any mans creed for him, but was Jealous for ..the lordship of Jesus in every life.
 The text fits into the American con- SAA~A . the resistance of adamant to force in the matter of faith. We resent dicta- tion as to where we shall work and whdr.a we shall employ; and we want no man telling us in the speech of a religious overlord where we shall wor- ship or what we shall believe. Immi- grants from communities cursed with a state religion imbibe this American spirit, and while our land is melting pot for old world natonalities, 1t is also a crucible for old world faiths
 Freedom is circumscribed, whether it is religious or otherwise. free man is not at liberty to run amuck; and a free American cannot be a law unto him. self like a pagan chief. Christian liber- ty is bondage of the will to Jesus. Not a maker of creda1 yokes, but 8 sharer of human burdens was Pauls ministry. Not lordship over their faith, but fell lowship in their sufferings and worthy enterprises was Pauls desire. He want ed to be helper of his peoples joy. and that is the real heart purpose of every true minister.
 What does this church of ours stand for in this community? Just what we make it represent. What is it's message to the world? Just what we make it. As men and women, age and youth, pass by this corner, does this church repre- sent to them lordship over their faith that we want to exercise, or a fellow. ship in their sufferfngs and in their struggles that we want to, o,ehare? Do our church doors represent to them trap doors through which we want to decoy them into certain communion. or por- tals through which we wish to bring them into a fellowship that will increasa thoir reaJ 1ov?"

"Oee Sf the things the people of Bir- mingham should insist upon atfthe hands of the coming legislature is a complete overhauling sf the health machinery, {: said J. R. Hornady, commissioner of healte and, education. Every crisis that has arisen In the past has served to em- phasize the great need of fundamental changes, and this need is again denion- strated in the faceSof the epidemic of influenza
 AS matter stand. the supreme author ity in health matters is vested In the Jef- ferson County Medical society, composed Of over 200 physicians continued Mir Hornady. Meetings are held once a week, attended one~sweek by fairly representative crowd, and another week by a small minority of the whole It IS thisihuge body that attempts to handle health matters from week to week, de- pending during the interval upon small committee, called the committee ot health, to look after things.
 HAS ITS FACTIONS
 It is no secret that the board of health, which is another name for the medical society, has it's factions, nor will 1t be any news to the members of the society to say that the action of the majority faction usually finds criticism at the hands. some of the minority. Thus We had some stirring scenes a year or two ago when the then majority faction elected Dr. F. R. Harringtom to the posi- ton of health officer The public will recall the. fearful and wonderful row tha, followed, and will also remember that 1 called public attention then to the weak ness of the existing method of adminis- tering health matters

|DR. EDMONDS ON . FOUR GREAT SINS
of Evening Sermon Suggested by Congregation
 of Independent Church

Dr. II, M Edmonds of the Independ- ent Presbyterian church has inaugur- ated novel method of choosing sub jects for his Sunday night services at the Lyric. A week ago last night at the service cards were distributed to the congregation with the request that each person write what he considered the four greatest sins. Dr.. Edmonds stating he would select the four sins that had the greatest Rumber of votes and use the for his sermon topic.
 Hypocrisy, immortality. drunkenness and selfishness were the sins counted greatest and on these topics Dr. Ed- monds preached a most forceful and interesting sermon last night,
 That hypocrisy is the most univer- sally hated of all sins Is apparent said Dr. Edmonds in part. "How-we all detest the hypocrite, whether his hy- porcisy takes the form of seeing some thing we know he did not, or possess ing knowledge he has not. or pretend ing ~to possessions of a kind we know to be different. These are--detestable. bl e i. small deceits, a cringing, crunching set of sins. There are others larger and graver but equally detestab ble.
 A JOY FOREVER
 Occasionally we meet an absolutely honest persona who pretends nothing. and what joy forever such one is. whether thing of beauty or not The trouble with the person who professes to be something he is not. is that he has failed to make connection with his profession. Emotion must speak to will and in turn to hands and feet Action must concide with profession or else it has no connection with life. That men are striving to get away from hprocisy is apparent. In our church. for instance, many men refuse position of honor and responsibility be- cause they fear someone will imagine they wish to pose as an example; fear ing to gbe thought hypocritical--it is a good sign, "prunkenness is of the oldest origin f has sN~rd more deaths, dssolated fsHeF brrN hearts and general mis- err thatt anA other thing in the world.

 Judging from reports received bP the committee from allI over the coun- try, the nation will go lover the top in raiisng this amount, and Judging from Birmingham's past record, she will go over the top in raising s$S5,0C0 as her part of it.
