 faiths of the countries where they are to work and its literature.
 I have set out this much to reach the point made by the Hindu lecturer at the Tutwiler. for he called atten- ton to the fact that the first mission aries came with condemnation alone and there was no point of contact with the educated people among whom they worked. but afterwards there was a greater sympathy of approach The schools in this country are giving more attention to giving missionaries soma knowledge of the language before they are set down on their fields. for 1t has been found out that at best an inter- preter Is poor substitute. and the missionarys door of entrance is through the door. Of native speech.
 But. after all of these things are set tied, and this paragraph comes from the admission of Dhan Gopal Mukerji. who spoke of the worthwhileness of carrying the Christ to India. yet there is a limitation put upon thes religion of Judea as, being the only true one This Is something that cannot be pushed asids and missionary work go on, for if it be admitted that Jesus of Nazareth was just one of the great religious teachers, then the evangelical basis for missions is undermined
 I am not speaking dogmatically, bus merely trying to state some of the problems to be faced and only bring them out because the presence of an moment brings to our minds the racial differences between those who live in the buoyant west and those who sleep in the dreamy east

Backed Him Up

"It certainly was some criticism on the handling of meats In Birmingham and especially the methods used in making sausage for local consump- ton" says William M Lindsay, speak ing of the interview of Dr. Bowling oif the enforcement of the health laws of the city. If the people could know VI hat class of meats are used and the adulterations in the making up of sansages. as well as the use of chem- icals to arrest decay. or change the condition of the meats long enough to get them sold. there would be change in these matters.
 Let us assist the city authorities all we can in correcting these unfair, improper and questionable methods"
 Thick Coating of Mud

I got stalled long before reached the entrance to Mountain Ter race for the downpour sent the mud from the unpaved streets in the new Forest Park addition down on Clair mont avenue in such quantities that for blocks the asphalt carried a thick coat ing of red mud.

 Like Our Ways
 Birmingham is leading other cities in many things said Ira F. Randall, president of the Retail Furniture Deal CTS Association. flor I noticed in the paper few days ago where the city of Chicago had adopted a moving ordi- nance similar to that of Birmingham. Tho retail furniture dealers associa- tion of that city wrote to our organ ization here, asking for a copy of this ordinance. which requires all persons moving to report to the city officials the change of residence.
 Another thing is the fact that Mrs. Mabel Leake. secretary of the local organization. received letter recently from Seattle. Wash, asking for some information as to the work In this city. The letter stated that similar organization was being formed in that city and they had heard much of the Birmingham association. so would like tc have some suggestions from ths Alabama organization"

OUR NEW IMMIGRANTS


 From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 A curious light is thrown on recent immigration influences by, figures just made public for 1919. Both in 1918 and in 1919 the United States received it's largest accretion of immi grants from Mexico. English migrants ran second in each year
 It Is a new source or lmmigra tion. The old streams have been temporarily damned. A new element enters our in dustrial problem which may become important In 1918 the number Of Mex jeans entering was 17.sO2. For last year the number was increased to 2s.- Ss4
 War in Europe Is. of course. re- sponsible for cutting off the old sources of immigration. Disturbed conditions in Mexico plus the growing labor shortage In the United States. doubtless. explain the increasing influx from below the Rio Grande Mexico remains fine country to get out of and the United States fine one to get into.

 It wasn't long before the boards of missions of the various denominations began to talk and write about reach Ing an agreement through their as to religious Spheres of influehce." The plea was, made that the missionary territory was so large that no one de- nomination could possibly hope to cover the world. and therefore it would be both wisdom and common sense to set apart certain provinces in which a certain denomination would have the right of way to enter and develop.
 A number of denominations reached such an agreement and then, having gone this far. it was thought advisable by some of the ecclesiastical statesmen in the Protestant world to work for some plan whereby money to carry on the work on foreign fields might be raised in a great general drive or cam paign without it's being done each year separately by the respective de- nominations through, their churches and organized boards of missions.
 But. more than this. there is a diff ferent attitude manifested in many re- ligious circles in America that the re. llgions and customs of the foreign lands must be studied more sympa- thctically and that the preparation of missionaries must be more thorough, not merely as to religious mattera but that before they are qualified to go |out they must know much about the

We have made the statement that the in
crease in wages from 1 81 to date had been $272-
IOO.OO per annum. and the net revenue had de-
creased $I82 100000 per annum despite the in
crease in fare from 5 to cents :
How large this increase has been to each indi-
vidua eploye is shown by the fact that the train
men working 81 hours per day for 3l9 days per
year is now receiving wage of $2,o7350 per an
mum, while for working the same time at the 29-
cent wage in 1914 he received $854.92, the in
crease being III %, as stated in previous adver-

O1TlHE question of how the summer
 vacation should be spent is of
 = much interest at this time. and the following from The Parish Leaflet" of St, Mary 's-on-the-Highlands is both of interest and is also valuable as food for drought:
 What are you going to get for your vacation? We commonly speak of spending a vacation, and when we spend we usually expect to get some thing in return. The first thing which will suggest itself as the return is pleas ure. Everyone expects to get a good time out of this investment. But after for the investment, either of time or money. It is too much like spending dollars for bubbles. Spend your vaca- ton primarily for pleasure, and at the end you have nothing to show for it, except possibly nervous headache. Pleasure must be a side issue-Someth which is thrown in. just to give our bar gain more zest.
 A vacation should be spent for exer- cise-real muscular exertion. Most of those who read this lead lives of very limited activity.
 Men and women need forms of exercise which will call into play the muscles which are less frequently used. It will tone up the whole system. If the vaca- tion is spent without getting this, it has not been profitably invested.
 A vacation should be spent for men tai exercise. The business man is right in saying, q want to get away from business" But that does not necessi- tate putting the mind into vacuum.

it was most fitting that Judge Shrape
 should receive his legal training in
 such a school and among such sur
 roundings.
 He first began the practice of his
 profession in Morgan county, where he
 soon became register in chancery. In
 a few years we find him representing
 his native county in the Alabama legis-
 lature, soon after this, in 1881, Judge
 Sharpe removed to Birmingham, form
 ing a partnership with James Weath
 erly, Esq, under the firm name of
 Sharpe X Weatherly
 It did not take Judge Sharpe very
 long to forge to the front rank as
 lawyer in this new and growing me
 tropolis, and when the city court of
 Birmingham was created in 1884. we
 find that Judge Sharpe was recog
 nized by the governor and appointed
 judge of that court, and there was
 never a more deserving or fitting ap-
 pointment among the Judiciary of this state of eminent jurists. After serv- ing several years as judge of this court it was but natural that he should receive state wide recognition, and he was elected as associate justice of the supreme court of Alabama.
 Upon the e. 1iration of his term of of flee for six years on the supreme bench Ol HIS Stdle, nS ueCllHeu, tHOuSn UT gently solicited by his friends and ad- mirers to stand for election, and en- tered the practice of law again in Bir- mingham with Hon. Nathan l.. Miller, under the firm name of Sharpe x Mill Ter. Later on, however, we find that the number of judges was increased in our county by the legislature to meet the demands of this growing com munity and Judge Sharpe was called to the local bench again in 1907, where he served continuously until his dea tn on August 10, 1919.
 As judge it was always the aim of Judge Sharpe to find out what was the real merit of every case that was tried before him, and to arrive at jus tice between the parties litigant, and 1 it did not make a particle of difference ! to him whether the parties were high I or low, rich or poor. If there was an 1 intricate point of law involved, he did not hesitate to burn the midnight oil himself delving into the books to find out what the law really was so that there might not be a miscarriage of | justice, and his decisions were seldom reversed on appeal to the supreme court.
 Take him all in all Judge Sharpe | was a most eminent and conspicuous success as lawyer and jurist. No judge

s,r ve,.e. ,o turn the mind into unac- customed but interesting channels. Read ing rash is not mental exercise. If the vacation is spent without reading some good and thought-stimulating book, it is wasted This is especially true in these days, when there are so many serious questions claiming the attention of the average man and woman
 vacation should be spent for spirit ual exercise Worst of all waste is that which impoverishes the soul When a person says, "I am not going to church it is vacation, he is spending his holi- day for that which profiteth nothing. The hours devoted to communion with God are the richest of all those in the vacation season. Get your spiritual ex- ercise by going to church and by read ing devotional books.
