''What I See and What l
 Hear;" Dr. Stuart

As a special feature at all services or Methodist churches over the land three minute speeches are being made prior to each service by some specially se- lected speaker in the interst of the cen tenary movement launched by the Methodist church to raise s35. 900, 900 for this movement. Last night at the First Methodist church George McCleery was the speaker, and following his talk, Dr. Stuart, the pastor. humorously stated that he had about reached the conclusion that he would offer to share time with his stewards for he believed that they could beat him preaching
 Dr. Stuart spoke last nighr& on "What See and What Hear." this being one of series of sermons on tho things that make character.
 "The Lord don't like proud folks, he don't like this turkey gobbler strutfing. But you know there are some people who would smother themselves to death over a bargain counter to get something ID cents cheaper.
 solomon was one of the greatest men on earth God gave him great reign. He prayed and devoted himself to the Lord He started in to make the best kingdom on earth, and one of his nrst acts was to try to marry wife rom every tribe in his kingdom This was a pretty big job, but he did 1t. and then he let them have their churches and worship as they saw fit. and said: What I hear won't hurt me and any man who says that is a fool No man ever heard a bad thing that it did not make him worse; nor did he ever hear a good thing that it did not make him better man. You can't ride in the dust without get ting grit in your mouth.
 SAVE YOUR SOUL You can't hear vulgar story with 1 out being vulgar yourself. When fellow brings out bucket of slop and starts 1 to- throw it on yov, you will stop him so if you can /save your little old
 clothes from slop why can't you save your soul. You cannot hear profanity without losing your reverence for God. The man who uses profanity is not as reverent to his mother as the man who does not You had just about as well
 spit on a man of God as to 'cuSs' before
 him.
 l Any fool can cuss-dont cuss. Steal something, get something out Of your
 devilment if you are going to advertise Iit-don't work for the devil and board yourself-dont work for nothing, a smart man won't do that-but a fool will. You l can listen to profanity until it degrades vou in spite of yourself. You can always get up and go away, just like you do when a drunken rascal comes up and slobbers in your ear. for you have to do it then.
 You would not let man profane your mother or even your father with out knocking him down, yet you will let
 him profane your Heavenly Father and | never say word.
 1 Don't listen to skeptics-you cannot
 afford to lose your little faith by standing and hearing some big, powerful fellow reason and argue aginst it-you can't afford to lose it. The sweetest thing I
 ever heard Sam Jones say was: I am standing on a crutch, don't knock it
 out from under me unless you have

CHITRCH BODY OF CHRIST

"The body of the Lord must be Tn the world of today in something more than the symbolism of a church ordi- nance. It must be found in a virlle church that honors Him and reveals Him to it's generation. The church as the sbodv of Christ was one of Pauls fa- vorite metaphors, and Christ as the heao of the body was his consistent simile. The figure suggests a relationship so Vitai that the church can easily blunder to US detriment and disgrace.

''The Body of Our Lord
 Dr. Simpsons Topic

At fine First Christian church yester- day morning pr. Robert N. Simpson used as his sermon topic, ''The Body Of our Lord" He introduced the subject with description of an invention called the pneumagraph, which he called "one or the most uncanny inventions of modern times, in whose possible utility there might Se a revival of interest, now that science and inventive genius were freed from being the vassals of grim war. ''The hour may come" said Dr. simpson. .when men will speak of breathing the truth as commonly as we talk about telling the truth.

There's the speech of the countenance that often IS the testimony of reliable character wit ness.

 TRIBUTE ID JUDGE JOHN H. MILLER
Congregation of First Pres byterian Church Passes Resolutions on Death of
 Jurist and Elder

The First Presbyterian church congre- gation at their yesterday morning service adopted resolutions and tribute to the late Judge John H. Miller. who was for 30 years a member of that church, and one of it's leading members.
 Judge Miller was at the time of his death ruling elder of the church. He had served the church as deacon and teacher, and had been ruling elder for 20 years. Last November he was com missioner to the synod of Alabama from the First Presbyterian church.
 The tribute and memorial resolutions were presented to the congregation by J. H. Phillips and H. L. Morrow. as follows:
 TRIBUTE
 The officers and congregation of the First Presbyterian church of Birming- ham feel very keenly the great loss they have sustained in the death of Judge John Hearst Miller, which occurred on Thursday morning, January 2, 1919. Judge Miller was recognized throughout the state as a man of deep scholarship and broad culture. By his professional col leagues he was regarded as an able jurist, whose mind had been trained by diligent study to weigh with accurate Judgment the essential facts before him, and to act with promptness and deci- sion. In his business relations he had earned by his integrity and uprightness the esteem and confidence of all who knew him. He was man of deep con- victions and resolute courage, and those convictions always found expression in calm, dispassionate yet forceful utter ance. His generous sympathies and charitable disposition prompted him to contribute literally to religious causes and philanthropic institutions. Because of his affable disposition and genial hu- nor he had friends in every walk of | life, who sincerely mourn his death. Be- meath the practical and judicial aspects of his character, those admitted to the l inner sanctuary of his heart were ever l conscious of a deep vein of sentiment, | family affection, tender and beauti- | full, and loyalty to old friends, con- l stant and true.
 | In no sphere of his active career, how | ever, did the nobility of his character | find more conspicuous expression than | in the service of this church of which | he had been a devoted member for more than 30 years, and which he had served 1 fo1 many years as deacon and teacher in the Sunday school, and for the past 2t years as ruling elder. His last official service for the church was as commits sioner to the synod of Alabama last No | vember.
 l While a firm believer in the tenets o1 the Presbyterian communion, Judge Mil | Ter was invariably open-minded and tol erant towards those of other beliefs His mature Christian character was th' I ripe fruitage of profound faith in th'
 realities of the unseen world, and of hi
 absolute reliance upon Christ as his Lort | and Master.
