JUDGMENT" IS THEME 0F LECTURE
Evangelist Martin Makes
 Stirring Address at the Jefferson

Just as certain as we are that the sun will break over the horizon in the morning and swing in his glory into midheaven, Just so surely may we look forward to the time when the records of heaven will be opened and we stand face to faceswith every act and thought of our life" said Irwin NJ. Martin last night in his lecture at the Jefferson theatre. His subject was. 'The Judg- ment."
 In the midst of the lecture G. H Curtis of Nashville sang solo, which was illustrated with scenes from the life of Christ which were thrown upon the screen. Next Sunday night Mir Martin will speak on the subject: "Heaven-What Is Itg Where Is It? The Events that Usher It In" Last night he said in part:
 "In this study of the judgment to- night, said MT. Martin. q wish to prove from the Bible three things. First that only those who accept salvation have a chanceI for heaven; second, the investigative Judgment takes place in heaven prior to the return of Jesus; third, that the Bible clearly marks the time when this judgment begins. the prophecies showing definitely that this work has been going on In heaven for over three quarters of a century.
 IS tniS lHNccIBaIiSc Jdo6Ho that is announced to the world by the angels message of Rev, xiv:6. ', which states that the "hour of his judgment is come This work is fulfillmeni of those verses in Daniel viii and ix where it speaks of the cleansing oi the sanctuary at the end of the 2300- day period. careful study of this prophecy. applying the Bible rule of s day for year, will show that thi; prophetic period ended in 1844.
 "The Bible makes 1t plain that thi. investigation of cases would begin with the first representatives of the humar race and would extend through to the end of time. Soon it will pass from the dead to the living and the awful verdict will be handed down from that court from which there shall be grant ed no appeal. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still, and he that Is holy let him be holy still and behold come quickly and my reward Is with me tc give to every man according as hii work shall be-Rev. 22:11:12.'

Brief Account Of Sermons Preached m LocalChurches

sending the gospel to the unevangeliz- ed It is possible to share the bur dens of the ignorant by helping them get an education; of the unfortunate by assisting them with our means;f or the 'sorrowful by extending them our sympathy. This is the Christlike thing to do. He went about doing good. This
 is the law of Christ Christianity re- duced to its simplest terms Is the spirit of brotherly kindness and mutual help fulness. Theoretically a Christian is one who believes in Christ. But prac- tically 1t is one who reminds other people of Jesus. "Whoso hath this worlds goods and seeth his brother have need and shutteth Rp his bowels of compassion from him, how dwell eth the love of God in him?'
 BURDENS GOD BEARS
 There are many worthy institutions in our city seeking to minister to the needs of the poor. the sick and the un- fortunate. The call of the far-away lands is ringing in our ears. The needs of our denominational schools in Ala bama are insistent The man who can but will not help In these worthy causes is lacking In the spirit of Christ What will you do when Jesus says: Inasmuch as vt did it not unto one of the least of these, ye dld 1t not unto me?
 There are some burdens that only our compassionate God can bear for us. What shall we do with our sins? Tho burden of guilt Is heavy. You cannot bear 1t. You cannot forget your sins or escape their direful effect. Your mothers prayers can't take them away All the soap In. the world, all tho water in the ocean, all the chemicals known to man. all the tears of angels eff an gels shed tears) can't wash away one guilty stain. Only God can forgive sin. regenerate the heart and blot out the past.
 Properly understood. there is a sublime truth in the old hymn, What can wash away my sins? Nothing but | the blood of Jesus.' Thank God, He Is able to bear our burden. Cast your burden of sorrow on the Lord He careth for you. Like a father pitieth l his children so the Lord pitieth us.
 I have seen child fall down with its
 burden in It's arms. then I have seen the father take up the child with its 1 burden and carry them both. As one whom his mother comforteth so will I comfort you My grace Is sufficient | for you.'
 | And so we have these three bur- dens, one we must bear ourselves, one we must share with others and one we must cast on the Lord. Your burdens will prove blessing to you if you | know what to do with them"

INCOME AND EXCESS PROFIT TAXES MUST .bE PA|DbY MARCH b
Commissioner Roper Issues Statement to Public on Time Limit of Tax
 Payments

In a bulletin issued February g. Dan iel c. Roper. commissioner of internal
 revenue, states that there will be nc extension of time beyond March 15 for the filing of returns and payments ot income and excess profits taxes due up
 to that date.
 Tt Is necessary to get the initial tax
 payments In by March 15," says Com missioner Roper No other course is
 possible. Some months ago, the treas ury issued certificates of indebtedness to an amount approximating $S0O 900, 900
 maturing March 15. The first payment
 of the income and excess profit taxes for
 1918 was planned for thta date, to meet this huge obligation.
 "The internal revenue bureau must car " out the programme prescribed ir the new law, which requires the frs Quaterly payment or the entire paymen , to be made on or before that date. Every taxpayer who can possibly d, so is urged to make full payment O his income on or before March 15. The quarterly payment method is intended fol taxpayers whose financing of the ta'
 at one time would tend to upset loca financial conditions.
 The bureau has arranged to send ar
 advisory force of several thousands O deputiC@ and agents to assist taxpayers
 Thest 'ficers will be stationed at con ven,snl joints where they may be con sulth4 '. ithout charge. Taxpayers should take the initiative and get in touci with these revenue men for any needed advice and assistance in preparing re- turns. "The forms for the tax returns ar' being printed and all forms will be in tht hands of collectors between Februar, IS and March l."

Tribute to Roosevelt
 by Dr. H. M. EdmOnds

The late Theodore Roosevelt was the inspiration for an address by Dr. Fl. M. Edmonds, pastor of the Independent Pres, byterian church, at the Lyric last night, when he spoke to a large congregation. Seeing the dead statesman through un- biased eyes. he was held up by the speaker as something of modern coun- terpart of John the Baptist having many characteristics in common.
 Theodore Roosevelt was typical American" said Dr. Edmonds. 'He was eternally young, always having a bully time and remained at heart a boy un- til he died. He was reckless with that same sort of recklessness that resulted in the heavy percentage of casualties in our American army during the war.
 His democracy was evident in the fact that his children attended the pub lie schools: his theory being, that in or der to know and to serve your fellows, you have to live and rub elbows with them. As a historian. a writer, stu dent of men and affairs. one knew him.
 He stood firm for his convictions, not
 nasty in judgment, but when, after due study and deliberation, his mind was made up. he stood firm.
 His life was traced from a weakly
 boyhood. whose drawbacks and handi caps were overcome through his earn est efforts to his entrance as a young man into the legislative halls, where his enthusiasm and zeal for righteousness caused the dismay of older and more astute politicians.
 His winning out was due to his con centration to a purpose. An aggressive Christian, unafraid when he knew his cause was just, friend to the under privileged. a friend to the laborers as well as the capitalists, friend to man. however he might find him Fighting corruption and graft, he had the vision, the conviction and the daring and the 1 fearless strength to- stand by them" tContinued on Page EighD

"Our Burdens," Dr. billiard
 at Southside Baptist

Dr James E. billiard. pastor of the
 Southside Baptist chu1ch, yesterday
 mornine preached from the subject.
 Our Burdens and What to Do Wilh
 Them" taking his text from Gal 6:b;
 "cyery man shall bear his own bur
 d.n." and Psalms, 55:22: Cast thy
 hurdens on the Lord" He preachei to a capacity ,house and his sermon was full of gospel meaning from start to finish.
 "rhess three apparently contradic- tory scriptures are really complimeni tary." said Dr. Dillard. They are like tuneful voices in a trio, parallel and Harmonious.
 ..rhere are some burdens we must bear alone No one can relieve you of your personal responsibility. You can't shift your duty. You try to dodge your obligations to your family. your community, your church. your God; but God and all right thinking men will hold you responsible, To receive blessings without assuming ob- ligations is akin to dishonesty. Tho ! man who turns the training of his children over to his wife. the man who dodges his taxes. the man who falls to discharge his church obligations and | the man who never renders thanks and service to his God are in the same class Each man must live for him. self and die for himself; no man can repent for you or accept Christ Tor you. Your destiny Is in your own hands. Each one of us must give an | account for himself unto God Each one must bear his own burden.
 BURDENS TO BE SHARED There are some burdens that may be shared. Members of society share in the financial burdens incident to
 the welfare of the community. Mem,

 MT. J. C.

Up to a late hour last night the body of young Collins had not been recovered.

"Y'.' Field Forces Busy
 With Reconstruction Problems
Poverty and Unemployment Are Two Features of Work That Field Workers Are Stirring Up Sentiment
 On in Several Counties Over State

said State Secretary W. s. Stallings yesterday, our purpose is to help the communities lift themselves to the standards of democracy learned and practiced by the returning soldiers in stead of allowing the soldiers to lit back only into the old standards of community life. This will involve, of course, the placement of the soldiers in employment This Is esential, and our agents are already concentrating on this paramount need"
 But the Y M c. A. will carry out it's programme only by stimulating the existing social and religious agencies. There will be an inter- church cam paign in every community. The churches must be brought closer to- gether and made to realize that in the new life created by the war all for integral parts of one Nnole work for social rather than individual saliva tion.'
 Rural life, in one phase of the work, is to be made attractive so that when the soldier returning to his country home will not become restless. This problem, of course. Is directly inter woven with good roads. Rapid transit for the farmers Is esentiaI and there fore one of the cardinal features of the ''Y" programme win pc the constant agitation for durable highways. Rec reational facilities and mask athletics, clean motion pictures for city and rural gatherings, community sings in all re- ligious organizations. will be urged and taught until they become fixed factors in the culture and democracy of, every city and village.
 Dr. w. R. HolmeS, whose eloquent narratives of trench life on the western front stirred the people of Alabama in the last war work campaign, will be the industrial captain of the civilian "Y' programme. He will lleave for the school at Blue Ridge, N. C., shortly.

communication

Telephonic communication with Gorgas was cut off yes terday when the wire to that point went down, and informa- tion regarding the eight men drowned in the Warrior river two miles northwest of Gorgas Saturday afternoon could not be gotten directly from the su- perintendent's office. Infor- nation from Jasper was to the effect that all of the bodies had been recovered, and that they were being prepared for ship ment to the former homes of the victims.
 Several parties went out from Bir- mingham yesterday morning early, and two automobiles went out Satur- day night, but they had not returned to Birmingham at an early hour this morning, so first-hand information could not be secured. However, it was known Sunday that the river was be- ing dragged for the bodies of the eight dead men, and every indication pointed to their recovery by nightfall.
 YOUNG WOMEN SAVED | Several people called at The Age-Heraid office and stated that they were to have met people coming to Birmingham on | the evening train who did not arrive, and that they feared they were on the | "Pollyana' when she capsized. This proved correct, as two young ladies, Miss Eyrie Hatten of Birmingham, and Miss Rita Moreland of Gorgas were saved from drowning by N. W. Fancher, owner | of the boat, and George Grove of Bes- stn:er, respectively. The young women were rescued just as they became ex- he usted, and were going down for the last time. Both Grove and Fancher are e1 eeptional swimmers
 l The rescue parties worked all night Saturday night dragging the river, using graphing hooks, but only one body was recovered. as officially reported by the superintendent,s office at Gorgas Sat
 urday night and that was the body of
 Smith, the white cook.
 The ..'Pollyana" was built in Birming-
 ham by MT. Deal as a pleasure boat,
 and was small launch, which would accommodate comfortably about a dozen people. She had a cargo of 9 human
 beings when she pulled out of Gorgas
 for Benoit. where the passengers were going to take train for Birmingham. | MT. Gaines of Jasper went aboard the
 beat and was to take passage. but he
 decided the load was too heavy and dis

 but changed his mind again, going back
 ashore, where he remained.

 happen and I could not make up my mind to take passage on the boat.
 knew it was too much of load for her Of course it is useless for me to say tha; l am glad did not stay on the boat. The drowning of the eight people was described as one of the most distressing scenes that could be imagined Halber:
