 proclaim their loyalty openly secretly slip away because they know he is ths | King.
 l Those in distress came to David /, Failures in life. neer-do- wells, dis couraged, disheartened criminals. fug- itives. sought help in David when all else failed. So in the world today, when there is no one else to whom , men can go for succor and help they can find a true and victorious leader in Jesus Christ Those whom gloom, l sorrow, sickness and suffering have broken on the wheel of life find in the
 great Physician one who can bind up | the broken hearted
 Those in debt came. Prison, perse- cution and slavery faced them. They were willing to take a chance with David. Nothing to lose everything to
 gain. In those days a debtor was made slave until a ransom was paid for his release.
 50 Christ paid the ransom for sin on the tree and cancelled the debt If
 all those that, come unto him through faith. When those debtors swore their allegiance to David they were free | men. They had renounced the old leadership. No difference how black the record how big the debt When | those In debt to sin come to Christ they are free men and joint heirs with

Palaces, honor. fame, wealth, stocks, bonds, preferment and social distinction ara no security of contentment. There is MessiAhic thing in the heart of every man which, discon- tented strains at earthly tethers and longs to be with Christ.

United States Holds
 Whip Hand Over England
By Associated Press

London, July 27.-James Henry Thomas, member of Parliament for Derby in an interview following an address before his constituents last s night expressed profound axiety con- corning the unstable domestic situation ; in England. MT. Thomas who recently visited America said that the strong position of the United States could not be. doubted and that he had seen enough while there to satisfy him that it was essential to restore confidence in this country by increasing produc- stion and keeping every industry fully employed
 Throughout America I saw conclu- : sive1y that the greatest preparations were being made to capture our com. mercial supremacy. What people of this country wont realize is that America is in position to hold us up for ran- som. The United, States does not need to import much raw materials and her economic position therefore is unrival- ed today. On the other hand she con- tains all of the raw materials we re- quire for our commercial reconstruc- tton and unless we are prepared to manufacture on something like our --old basis we shall have to pay prices which in the long run can only result in disaster"

Another strong man for the board Will be John R. T. Rives, assistant coroner. He will be backed in all probability by two strong voting clements which his friends have stated are sure to put hr1 across.
 The friends of wiby A. Propst of Ensley is urging him to make the race for Board of Revenue. MT.

Cloe. flour merchant It is extremely probable that
 in the event five members are to De chosen for the board many others not yet mentioned may be in before the finals.
 It is rumored that several probable candidates are awaiting the decision or William J. Waldrop, present clerk of the circuit court, to see what he is going to do before announcing. Statements have been made that certain pending legisla- tion may aid in causing MT. Waldrop to make a decision as to whether he enters the race to succeed himself or probate judge. it being almost certain he will be a candidate for one place.

HEWITT AND VINES TO QUIT

Frank A. Hewitt, a member of the board. Snd who previous to his election to this office was tax assessor of Jeffer- son, and pr. J. B. Vines, who has held the office twice, are said to have an- nounced publicity they would not offer for election at the next primary. Rufus Bivens, another member of the coard, is undecided and his friends say it is probable he may not offer; yet some believe he will ask for reelection. He has a strong following and with his pres- ent record would liven up things in the event he announced.
 With two candidates stating they will not seek another term and 8 third mem ber undecided, it leaves J. W. Gwin, presi- dent of the board and Thomas E. HueJ, a member, who will be in the field from the present board of revenue.
 Mir. Huey entered the board of revenue office last May, being appointed to fill vacancy by the governor and during this short period in office he has made a record which his friends are proudly banking on and which they believe will on the board. It is usually an unwritter custom that when one is placed in office for such a short time that he be given full term.
 MT. Gwinn as president of the board of revenue has been confronted with many problems during the present ad- ministration and his friends state he has handled the work in a satisfactory mar ner hence they are lining up behind him for reelection.

Other candidates are considering this place. but their decisions probably viii be based upon whether or not the present legislature repeals the present act requir- ing the coroner of Jefferson county to be a licensed physician. If this repeal is made. then c. l.. Spain, former coroner of the county, is sure to be in the race with J, M Russell of Inglenook, already can wasting, as his opponent.
 For the board of revenue there doesn't seem to be the scramble as that occurred at the last election. Five candidates are to be elected under the present system and at the last election there were So can Gidates in the field which made it uncer- tain for the election of almost any one man until near election day.
