NEW CARS TO BEGIN
 ARRIVING WITHIN TWO WEEKS, SAYS PEVEAR

The first of the new cars to be pur- chased by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will arrive within two weeks, according to announce ment made by officials of the company. The cars, which will be 25 in number, are being bought under authority of an order given to Lee C. Bradley, receiver of the company, by Judge w. l. Grubb of the federal court. and will cost approximate ly S5000 each
 In discussing the improvements which, are expected in the service when the new cars arrive, President Pevear made the following statement:
 sThe new car to be used is of the most modern type, known as the safety car, and having a seating capacity of 70.
 These cars will be installed on a basis which will give the public practically the lions share of the saving expected from their operation. In other words the new cars Will replace cars now in service on the basis of three new cars for two cars in use at present. The new cars are very light and comfortable, and are equipped to make higher schedule speeds. The public on the lines where they will be n- stalled will receive at least 5o per cent better service. On the other hand. the company will experience q decrease in operating expenses, and will be in posi- tion to give much better service over the entire system as the result of the addi- tional equipment"

 If they were not moved by love to do this: if they were rebellious, then he moved them by fear to obey. Though fear is not the best, not the highest mo-
 tive, I have no patience with the cant
 of those who say if they are meyer driven by love they cannot be driven by
 fear We are moved by fear every day
 to do things.
 When God fails to move us by love
 He moves us by fear, He is better to us that we believe. Noah was moved by fear to build the ark. If it were not fear Birmingham would be a Bed- lam, a madhouse."
 Referring to the woman sprfnkling the hyssop Dr. McNeill said it was not the hyssop that healed, but the faith of the woman. without faith" he said, there would have been no healing
 though she sprinkled twenty times a day with the hyssop."

 It was announced that investigations conducted by the American fund for Jew ish war sufferers disclosed that there are 5OOO0oe Jews in the war stricken coun- tries. of eastern Europe who will be in a state of total or partial dependency dur ing the year
