Those who sin evidence. This is the mental state of many Christians today They cannot make up their minds about what loyalty to the Lord and his cause de- nands of them in the present hour.
 "'What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' This is too much for us. We wash our hands of the problem and pass it up. How few of us Christians are looking into this new age that is rising before us through the eyes of our Savior! How few of us realize that in our vote our attitudes, our choices. the way we run our business, the way we spend our money, the way we find our recrea- tion Jesus Christ and His claims must first of all be considered. that His fate, as far as our lives and our age are concerned. is in our keeping.

The "11-inch- from the ground skirt ' recently sprung on the public as an innovation from the most exclusive of desi gners, is likely to prove very un popular in 20-degree weather, which has reached Birmingham. as most faithfully promised by the district fore caster of the elements.

MAKING UP ONES MIND,"
 SERMON BY DIR. MACSPORRAN

Dr. J0nn A. MdCCpOTTdn, paStOT ol the First Presbyterian church, preached sunday morning on the topic, Making Up One's Mind" from the text, "Pilate saith unto them. What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christi" Matthew 2T:22.
 He said, in part When we say, T must make up my mind or I have not yet made up my mind. what do we usually mean? What precisely is that mental process we ordinarily per- form when we do this thing that we call making up our mind? Is it any. thing more than coming out of doors and exposing ourselves to the winds of opinion, rumor. gossip. passion and prejudice? Is it more than listening to the din and babel of loud. conflict ing voices, and hearing what. can be said in favor of our desires and per sonal inclinations and private inter ests or do we conscienciously set our- selves to the difficult laborious and searching task of finding out the facts and getting real evidence and facing the truth, prepared fully and unre- servedly to follow the lead where it may?
 CT fear We often deceive ourselves in this matter of making up our minds My own opinion is that our facts are usually composed of the proverbial few grains of wheat in bushel of chaff How could it be otherwise? We feed ourselves almost exclusively upcn the papers. the pictures of the Inovie1 and the rumors of the street and tic. man who forms the habit of making up is mind from these things will soon not have a mind that is worth the making.

Everything that had been promised by the local weather forecaster and few more things not exactly promised by him. but hinted at, strongly came down upon the city early yesterday morning. while the city lay in perfect peace, and the late shopper and tired working man had erawled beneath the covers to enjoy the real nights sleep of the week.
 Toward morning he had crawled a few inches further beneath the warm quilts and covers, and not daring to look from the windows. but still sensing that the weather had taken a decided change. snuggled comfortably in his warm bed, determined to spend the entire day there.
 For the icy north winds had made visit to this city of ours and during the night. in conjunction with a slight rain fall had turned the raindrops into icy par ticles which had spread like a blanket over the tops of the houses and resting there had left the city under a sheet of white.
 Was it cold? We'll, judging from the exclamations of the street car men who were the first to be up in the wee sna' hours, as they strove to scrape the ice cars, theirs were words expressing a much warmer climate than is aloltted at any time to this earth of ours.

THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL
 SERMON BY REV. M'NEILL

The Rev Joseph McNeill filled the pulpit at the South Highland Presbv- terian church both morning and eve hing yesterdav in the absence of the pastor. Dr. John McNeill At the morn ino service he preached from Romans 1:16. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth."
 "The power Of the gospel was tested at it's wea lSest and when the opposi- tion was tho strongest" said Rev. MT McNeill. "The gospel was exemplified in the days when Rome ruled the world, all but the highlands of Scot land Rome conld not conquer the Camphells the Camerors. the McDon- aids. the Mcr.eans. the McNeills-these withstood the power of Rome
 "The Caesars threw the Christians to the lions to draw the crowds in the manner that crowds in this day are drawn to see hull fights and at world series Christians were killed hy the thousands. The faithful believing in God and true to their faith met in caves and holes to worship. It was this small band of the faithful that proved the power of the gospel.'
 Mr. McNeill illustrated his sermon with number of stories which em- phasizcd the power of the gospel. the

"IS GOD LOVE. OR A
 CONSUMING FIRE?"

Before large congregation last night,
 Dr. James E. billiard of the Southside
 Baptist church, preached a sermon of
 unusual interest. Dr. billiard said in part:
 "Jonn says God is love The writer of
 the Book of Hebrews says He is a con-
 suming fire Which is right? Both. Like
 most of the so-called contradictions in the
 Bible, this apparent contradiction is to
 be explained b1 noting the viewpoint of
 the writers. John is speaking of God with
 reference to his grace and love and for
 giving nature. The writer of Hebrews is
 spe 1Niag of God from the standpoint of
 holiness and justice and sovereignty. They
 are both saying the same thing in flif-
 ferent way It depends upon how you ap-
 proach the subject.
 Here in nature, we find weeds and
 vegetables; brars and flowers; medicines
 and loisons, side by side, but each has
 it's place. Our parents are either strict
 or lenient. according to the demands of the occasion The same law that. like
 love, will protect a law-abiding citizen,
 becomes a consuming fire to the man who
 would do wrong. Your conscious is either a hell or a heaven. depending upon what you do. F Christ was sympathetic to Mary and
 Martha, but he denounced the sins and hypocracies of the Pharisees. There are two sides to everything It depends upon
 how yoc approao h them. So God is loving and gracious and kind to all who seek His mercy and 6esire to do His will but He is also a God of justice and will surely visit reIribution upon those who consistently sin against His holy will and the good of thelr fellowmen.
 'It is a good thing that 1t shouli he
 SO O,lr nerves that are the source of pain
 are also the source of pleasure. The law
 that will make the life of president safe. must also take the life of the mur-
 derer God is tine moral governor of the world.
 "Sin always changes love to fire. That is to say. wrong attitude will cause become destructive. Water is a necessity of life, but it may destroy city Air is necessity, but it may become tornado The same suns rays, the same moisture that will make the seed planted in the earth grow. will cause the one that lays Ton the rock to die. The same law that brings life and liberty to those who obey brings oeath and destruction to those who violate it.
 ''The love of mother for her child may be a hell or a heaven to this boy le- pending upon whether or not he recipro- cates end appreciates it. The love of Christ for Judas became a hell to Judas when he realized that he had betravel his Master. So. if we reciprocate the love and yield ourselves in obedience to the will f God He is love to us and to be with Him is heaven. but. if we viclars His laws and tramnle His love under foot al an unho'v thino. He becomes a consnmino fire What vii lvou do with the love of Christi
