CHAPTER u.
The olri From Droohsda.

The 0lri From Oro0heda.
Gordon Elliot was too much Of q
night owl to be an early riser, but next
morning he was awakened by the
tramp Of hurried feet along the deck
ders, together with frequent angry
puiiing and snorting Of the boat.
From the culver Of the walls he
guessed that the Hannah was stuck on
a sandbar. The mates language gave
backing to his surmise.
Elliot tried to settle back to sleep,
but after two or three Intellectual ef-
forts gave it up. He rose and did one
or two setting-up exercises to timber
his joints. The frst Of these flashed
the signal to his brain that he was stin
and sore. This brought to mind the
fight on the hurricane deck, and he
smiled. 1t hurt every time he twiched
a muscle.
The young man stepped to the look
ing glass. Both eyes were blacked, his
lip had been cut, and there was a
purple veal well up on his left cheek.
He stopped himself from grinning only
just in time to save another twinge Of
pain.
"Some party while 1t lasted. I never
saw more willing mixers. Everybody
seemed anxious to sit in except Mr..
Wally Selfridge." he explained to his
reflection. "But Macdonald 10 the

Millions Of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath?" you say. Well, it is guaranteed to perform miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who. immediately upon arising in the. morning, drink a glass of real ho+ water with a reaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is a very excel lent health measure. It is intended to flush the stomach, liver, kidneys and the 30 feet of intestines Of the previous days waste, sour bile and indieestible material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day. become food for the millions of bacteria which in .-fest the bowels, the quick result is pois- ons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attacks foul breath, bad taste, colds stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep 4 lessness impure blood and all sorts of ailments.

 lectual qualities alone; it is not the result of moral qualities alone for the moralist often succeeds in making men see how awful goodness is;" it will seem, in a word, to be the emanation not of precise qualities, however ad- mirable, but of something inca1culable and esoteric-a combination of the in- tellectual races, spiritualstic fervor and sort of reaf human sympathy.
 However elusive the quality may be its presence is always ndisputable and in meeting for the first time pr. John A. .MacSporran, the new pastor of the First Presbyterian church, the casual / ob- server is impressed with his agreeable And at once insistent quality of personal 'distinction.
 To some extent he owes this to very unusual personal advantages; in appear ance he is youthful-almost boyish, with a certain cordiality and genuneness that would assure him of success in any sphere of action; there is about him irr%a sense a schivalry suggestive of other days and a culture at once "old school in it's thoroughness and modern in it's progres- siveness; 1.-the of figure, straight as an arrow, his glance clear and searching a lit enigmatic, while his smile gives a hint of whimsicalness which sets one at ease and makes for q speedy friend ship-there you have miniature of the -nsFall

caused me to determine to find out for myself valid reason for religion. This was during my college course.
 "To cut long story short" MT. Mac Sporran continued, during a summer vacation I went out into the great Can adian northwest as a sort of sky pilot you might say, among the miners. My experiences with those men; my close personal contact with them, and realiz- ing their needs and necessities and what religion meant to them. decide my course in life. I fully made up my mind to become a minister, so you see it was not as if I chs3e my calling by sudden accident, but by close personal process of my own reasoning that de- cided me
 That experience on my vacation that summer, said pr. MacSpcrran, was invaluable to me in later years, for 1t gave me the ability to help others-to realize largely the tremendous power that religion has over men,

Dr. MacSporran is a Scotch Canadian have been a naturalized citizen of the United states for so long that l scarcely think of any other habitation as home.
 pr. McSporran is what might be called a modernist tolerant in his views, broad in his ideas. he is the most accessible and cordial of men and talks with ap9l parent candor--a candor which has to do with his aims. his ambitions and his hopes for a great. and profitable min isterial work in his new charge-Bir- mingham.
 Dr. McSporran. as l suggested before. is 8 modernist; you'll find if you'll an- alyze this word that it is new, but the thing itself is not new; modernism has existed in not one church, but all churches. from time immemorial-for every soul that is alive is a modernist else how could it be alive? For the spirit that is vital. cannot be imprisoned by the letter which is dead-the spiritual facts are eternal, but the interpretations are human, temporary and changing.
 Dr. McSporran believes in a lighting relgion-and in giving the world bat tie cries and ''banners never ''opiates" nor s'anodynes;' nor yet dull creeds nor dogmas nor nninteresting theological theories.
 The governing impression when one has talked with Dr. MacSporran is that here is man who wi1T draw peo- pie to him by his tolerance, his progres- siveness and his deep spiritualty-for the lofty vision of human life enshrined in his heart. and a pure and simple faith which envelopes his nature.
 It may not be amss to say just here that Dr. MacSporran expresses himself as being tremendously impressed with Birmingham's colossal opportunities and the superb spirit exhibited by Bir-. mingham people.
 He feels that there is a great future for Birmingham spiritually as well as along other lines for which this city is already far famed. Beautifully educated, taking his degree at Queens university, Kingston, and theology at Auburn. N. T.. and studying 1 abroad for several years at the great universities worldwide in their fame Dr. MacSporran comes to his new charge vibrant with a desire to take advantage of the many opportunities presented by this young, growing, wide-awake city. "One of the main reasons for accepting the pastorate of tSe First Presbyterian church here" said Dr. MacSporran, is the fact that there is a vast and ever grow ing chance for the church to reap wonderful harvest in this palpitating progressive town. l not believer in magic, far as religion is concerned or anything else. for that matter. but I am impressed with the term Magic City as applied to Birmingham; there is something very convincing about it and something which appeals tremen- dousy to me

 The Scotch and English min isters fairly reek with culture.
