ALABAMA'S PART
DR. HOBBS STATEMENT

Tt fas been wonderful campaign" the Rev. J. k. Hobbs, one of the prime leaders in the movement, last night de- clared. Our most optimistic hopes appar- entlv have been surpassed by great out pouring og Baptisl generosity.
 "Continued indictment weather had af- fected the attendance and activities of probably 15,oO0 churches in the south. This was combined with the unsettled indus trial situation, roor crops in many sec tions and the undetermined status of ths peace pact legislation But with all these handicaps, toniglts reports indicate that we have won a magnificent victory on the first day Of the real opening of the campsien throughout the south.
 'Of course. we had received for the gen eraI s75. .C0d.0O0 campaign several millions or dollars in gifts in advance These ranged from slo,c00 to S iOoo. 900. But the co-opera- tion through the southern states has been splendid and spontaneous There have been few slackers in the ranks and as the returns continue to come in I am led to believe ia reality there were no SlackerS v

MAGNIFICENT ACHIEVEMENT

Bulletins received here up to midnight last night at the Birmingham association headouarters indicated that the campaign had been a magnificent achievement, tremendous success throughout the south and the probability was apparent that s1O0, ,0Oo,0O0 would be subscribed for the conclusion of the drive.
 Birmingham holds third place in the south, Atlanta coming first and Rich- mond second.
 There are $500 Baptists in the Birming- ham association. Of these, 1000 are members of churches in the city proper
 Perhaps in no section of the south was the fervor of the campaign more exciting than in Birmingham churches. at both the morning and evening services Sun day.
 Every church was crowded practically to capacity, and while huge amounts were subscribed at the morning service. the Baptists rallied again with renewed eff fort and many doubled their quotas at the night service.
 It was the most successful campaign ever waged by the Baptist church in the south and with the greatest objective in it's history.

If the time-worn saying, "Love

true. This is plainly shown in David

which is to be displayed at the Prin-
cess and Liberty theatres next Thurs
day.
This remarkable picture was filmed
largely in the homes and on the coun-

WHAT BECOMES OF THE pAYsa

where do the days come from,
mother?" asked Robert Carr one
morning as he was looking over some
books.
1.-THE days come from God" an
swered his mother quietly. A new
day comes to us each morning. 1t
is Gods gift to US. Each day comes
new and clean and fresh; so that we
may fill it full of golden deeds, hap
py thoughts, and kind words. No
body's days are alike; your day is
different from mine, and mine is not
the same as yours. / can't fill your
day for you. ! can help you, and
father can help you; but that is all
we can do. Youf day is your very
own-God's gift to you-and you
must fill it yourself in your own
way
Robert was quiet for a few minu-
tes, and then he asked: "Where do
the days go, mother?
"They go back to Cod" answered
his mother. "They go back to him
just as we have filled them. Each
morning comes to us like a clean,
white sheet of paper; and at night it
goes back to God filled with the pic
lures and stories that we have lived
into it"
Robert stood and looked out of the
window for a long time before he
spoke again. His mother saw that
he was thinking, and she did not in
terrupt him. At length he turned
with a sigh and looked up at his
mother and smiled.
Il was just thinking" answered
Robert gravely, "tha ! wish l could
get back some Of the days / have

thing that ] ever put into any Of my
days that went back to God. ] didn't

Mother understood just how he

as mother does, only more, because
He understands better. / am sure
It viii help us all, though, to stop and

for Him to see how we have spent
His day."

THE CLAIMS OF
LITTLE NATIONS.


1t is time for the American
Indian to be heard at the peace
table.
This gentleman has been a
little neglected. The demands
of the various races that claim
the right to develop as indie
pendent nationalities have
nearly all found expression.
But how about the Injun?
1t may be urged that he has
fused with the American ma
ton. True, but after subjuga-
ton. He accepted national
extinction to escape physical
extinction. His was the bitter
choice of alternatives that fol-
lows conquest.
Well, then. 1t is so long
since his subjugation that it is
impractical to dig up his
claims. They We're buried with
his Ratchet. He is part of us,
and to hand him back his indie
pendence-and the American
continent, which is his by
squatter's right-would be too
violent a resolution into origi-
nal elements.
Is it so long since he was
vanquished? II this lapse of
time kills his claim, then Ire
lands is not only dead by pet
rifed. The red man had his
independence long after Ire
land merged with Great Bri-
tain.
But Indians are savages.
Are they? Our boosted civili-
cation is not worth bean if it
left him where il found him.
But it did not. Among the ranks
of lawyers, physicians and
other men of culture the red
man holds his own with the
pale-face. There are parts of
Ireland where the inhabitants
fight against education with
the same persistency that the
Indian shows in embracing it.
This is no TRADE against Ire
land-the birthplace of poets,
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1919-04-03

orators, jurists-of generals
who time and again have led
British armies to victory. Ii is
merely a plea for cool heads
and clarified theorizing.
To dissolve nations into their
original components is not the
irresponsible ioy-ride that
some Missionaries imagine. If
the bundle of fagots is broken
too completely there will be
nothing left but sawdust. Ii is
harder to mend than to break.
In parts of England the Dan
ish element predominates over
the Saxon, the Norman and the
Celt. In parts of America the
A african predominates. Try
this program of disruption if
you want to, but its problems
are not without a certain COM
pleXity, and the more consist
emily we theorize the more
complex they become.
