BRAZILIAN ORE VIA
 WARRIOR RIVER
Sidetrack to Port of Cor. dOva Being Laid-Frisco
 Situation Discussed

Manager Henry T DeBardeleben of the Warrior transportation service, says the first load of Brazinian manga nese ore to come up the river will leave Mobile today for Port of Birmingham, where it will be transferred to cars carrying it to the steel mills of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company at Ensley and Fairfield.
 There are 5000 tons of this ore in the present shipment but the river will undertake to handle only half of the The river expects to handle the entire 100000 tons per annum, some times more.
 The much talked about sidetrack to the derrick at Port of Cordova is being laid. This is an offshoot of the tracks al the port now connecting with the coal tipple there. Manager DeBardele- ben, speaking of the situation at Cor dova said:
 We are not asking the Frisco to do anything that is not being done now. It delivers cars on the. port tracks. The cars drop by gravity to the coal tipple. They will likewise drop by gravity to the derrick when the sidetrack is com pleted. All we have asked the Frisco to do in addition to placing the cars on the port tracks is to come and get the empties. That 1t has done. Why not continue to do so? The only diff ference, in case of cars dropped to the derrick and loaded or unloaded there will be a matter of 600 feet further over the same track to get them."

| Holy Spirit, which discussion was brought forward from the day before.
 Last night there was a large congrega- tion, the service being inti oduced by the customary service of song for fifteen minutes.
 The subject lof the evening was coupled on to that of the night before, Reasons for Belief in the Divine Inspiration of the Bible"
 Because of the influence of the Bible on human life, the minister argued for it's inspiration. The book which can lift man up to God must have come down from God Illustrations of the power herein alluded to was illustrated by a man who from a position of eminence as a professional life a life of finest social standing. of wealth, affluenc- ana honor, an agnostic, fell U the loss of all he had and went to the bottom of degra- dalton, was by and by brought to throw away his agnosticism, to find faith in the Bible and it's divine author and was saved from his lost life 70 one of honor far and wide in his country.
 He cited the case of the failure and fall of Germany from her imperial posi- tion in the community of nations as the result of throwing overheard her faith in the Bible, to be led by the nationalism of German philosophy.

 The inexhaustible depth of the book bespeaks the Bibles inspiration. What man has produced, man can exhaust. Through all the centuries the Bible has been studied as thoroughly as men could do; yet it is still the exhaustless store The human mind has progressed through eighteen centuries. other books have been outgrown; but the Bible abides. up to date and ahead of date Who but God could put into so small compass such exhaustless volume of truth as is the Bible. If it were mans book, it would have been fathomed years ago and laid aside as happened to other man-made books.
 The Bible is attested as divinely in spired by the fact that as men grow in knowledge and character. in wisdom and holiness, they grow toward the Bible. Two lines always converging as they draw near to given point must meet when they reach that point.
