LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

a city to give his trunk or suit case a home. he is there long enough to find his church and Sunday school.
 After class exercises there is an Is- scmbly of the whole Sunday school for more singing, for readings, quartets or double quartets, and for some Orison Swett Warden talk, full of pep and en- thusiasm, from the forccful superintend- ent, Mir. B. II. Hartsfield. In the super intendents talk one is usually able to Slean vivid and lasting impression. For example, in illustrating last Sunday $ lesson, which, by the way, had to do with some of the mightiest and most eloquent language of the Savior, he pointed to a strong and vivid light above him with the exclamation: There would be nothing there but glass and metal were it not for the electric current. So in you and me there would be no help. no light for our brother men or sister women were it not for divine inspiration that comes from the life and eloquence of Christ"
 There is good singing, too, in this large assembly room, with, however, another leader. He is a chap by the name of Ed Lee who would strike Bill Thornton about his lower rib, but he has extraordi- narily well developed and carefully trained vocal chords. He might have to follow the example of ZacchaeuS of old to make himself seen, but not to make himself heard. He has way of mak- ing other folk sing, especially the ladies. A handsome chap with engaging ways IS this Ed Lee.
 pr. James b. Dillard, the pastor of this church, is one of the most logica;, profound and impressive pulpit orators that 1t has ever been my good fortune to hear. He is such an enthusiastic oe- liever in the Sunday school that rarely q Sunday passes that he doesn't have q brief valuable message for the Sunday school assembly. Last week at the De- catur Baptist convention he delivered d stirring address on the Sunday school as great factor in evangelism. Dr. billiard adapts his messages to everyday life, making them practical and within reach, showing that he is a close student of human nature and of tho tendencies of the times.
 It is desired to strongly urge all old and young, men and women, to throw off the old Sunday morning indifference and come next Sunday to the great Southside Sunday school and church, or to some other. l am persuaded there will be no regret. My transgression on your time and space has already been too much to permit me paying tribute to MT. O. Gordon Erickson and his or crestra who, with classic music, most exceIlently rendered, intersperse the com munity singing of the good old folk lore songs. Respectfully,
 ROSS c. SPEIR.

 was being made to have officers In the northern part of the state intercept her before she gets outside the boundaries of Oklahoma. Hamon was wounded Sunday night while in a room in a local hotel. A statement issued today by Frank L.

 Following the alleged accident at the hotel, Hamon is said to have walked to hospital, where he underwent an op- eration.
 A statement issued tonight by attend 1 ing physicians said lannon's condition was improved.

Something About Sunday

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Some weeks ago a certain Mir. O'Con- nor of Chicago addressed a communica- ton to you, in which he took occasien to criticise Birmingham as a city in caustic and lashin gternns. There were many responses. some of them on the de- fensive, some aggressive, and not a few were inclined to agree with the critic and add their own objections as we'll.
 It has occurred to the undersigned that should the stranger within our gates who gathers an unfavorabie impression on week days remain over on Sunday and visit one of our progressive and in testing Sunday schools and in the afternoon of the same day drop around at the Lyric theatre to watch o. Gordon
 Erickson and his orchestra, the star performers at our community sings, he couldn't possibly feel grouchy and pes- sirnistic. This is a good tonic for our own men and women. too many of whom
 miss this very interesting and quite help full Sunday programme.
 There are splendid Sunday schools at the First Baptist, First Presbyterian and First Methodist churches, near the ho- tels and business center. And out ae Five Points arc two other great churches. Should the stranger desire to make perfect day of 1t, the preaching services at Il o'clock would bring to him deep and scholarly discourse at any of these churches.
 The Sunday. school and church with which am best. acquainted, however, and that am happy to commend to all, is known as Southside Baptist church. It is a wonderful structure, and provides a great welcome every Sunday morning to the TO or SO primary, intermediate and adult scholars who throng there. What pessimistic, grouchy mood could have held it's melancholic sway last Sunday as it witnessed the hundreds of
 smiling, skipping, rollicking youngsters coming in with bags of fruit-oranges. apples, grapes, bananas nuts. candy and even an enormous purnplSin-their Thanksgiving offering 10 the children of Mercy Home? It was an inspiring sight for adults-this early medication of the spirit of righteous giving in children.
 For the men there is a great Bible class in which the singing alone is worth your trip. There is great, handsome, double-jointed chap, known as Bill Thornton who leads, and indeed does the most of this singing. If there De any man who can sit unmoved beneath Bill Thornton's singing of The Little Brown Church in the Wildwood How Firm Foundation" T Am Here on Business for My King" and score of indeed a sad case. Your troubles fade away, and the burdens and cares of the week are forgotten. You feel better to- ward your fellow men.
 The president of the class has an en- raging and agreeable way of handling the business of the class and presenting the names of new members or visitors. He is a constant exponent of the theory that if a person tarries long enough in

ROOM SCARCE IN PARIS
Divorced Persons Have Trouble Get

Bx Associatcd Press

Paris, November 2.-The great diff culty of finding lodgings in Paris has been the cause of many unusual incl dents recently.
 Divorced persons seeking separate apartments are having such difficulty in finding them that, in one case at least, they composed their temperamental diff ferences in order to keep their old apart ment.
 painter and his wife. who had been divorced by mutual agreement, were both looking for apartments. Frequently their paths crossed in their search for quarters. The first time they met they bowed gravely but politely. Their mu- tual smile gradually broadened as the hunt for flats narrowed down to few novels in the siuaa section.
 Lets kiss and make up and go back to our flat the wife finally said; {; and they did.
