THE GENERAL JUDGMENT" "
 DR JAMES F. DILLARD

At the evening service of the Southside
 Baptist Church the pastor, Dr. James k. billiard, preached an enlishtening sermon
 on the teaching of Jesus. the Judgement Dr. Dillard said in part:
 The confusion as to the teachings of Jesus concerning the judgement grows out of the fact that when Jesus came. he found the, Jews possessing a great many erroneous ideas concerning the last things.
 Tt was not the policy of Jesus to tell these people that their ideas were all wrong, but rather to take their language and put into it spiritual meaning. Instead of political kingdom. the | Kingdom of God was to be spiritual | Kingdom. It was not to come by obserya- | ton or revolution. but it was a king | dom of righteousness peace and joy. It was at hand when Jesus came. It was still coming as it reached more men and l exercised greater influence over theii lives and it was yet to come in the sense 1 that the social world itself was finally ! to be permeated by the ideals of Christ 1 s.The disciples were expecting the Mes siah to come in great glory. Jesus said | the Messiah had come. and that he would {. continue to come into the lives of the people, and that when two or three sath cred together in His name He would DC | with them. He would be constantly com ing and at leath would bring His 'r ones home He would he coming in ma.

Brief Account Of Sermons
 Preached at Local Churches

He would yet come in final glory
 They were expecting a literal resurec- tion in which dry bones would be colthed with flesh and the breath of life entering again would cause the dead to live upon the earth. Jesus taught that he himself is the resurrection and the life; that men are raised by the power of Christ from a death of trespassng and sin, and that there shall be a final resurrection in which those who are asleep in Jesus shall be clothed with bodies like unto His own glorious body.
 s'In the same way, he put a spiritual meaning into the doctrine of the judge ment. He taught that the judgement IS in one sense passed, Now is the Prince of this world judged?' He taught that as men accept or rejuct the teachings of Christ and yield themselves in obe- dience3 to His will or refuse their ale giauce that they are being judged. He that beIieveth in Him Is not judged, put he that beIieveth not hath been puasea already
 "He taught that the heather who had never heard of Jesus would De Judseu but not as to whether or not they nau accepted Christ but they would pc judged according as they had exemph- fed the spirit and teachings of Jesus. The word used for nations as gwen III the twenty-fifth Matthew is the "oru that is commonly used for heathen ana does not refer either to the Jews or Christians but is evidently intended eo mean those who have not heard ,iIe gospel. The Master taught that the Judse of fhe whole earth does right, and lha. we will he held responsible for the hsht and opportunity which we have had ana not condemned because of what we haN ..' not.

stupid. So l hid them where a man would never find them
 First I put them in the drip pan of that old refrigerator in the cellar and they stayed there for a. month, and then I happened to think that the trash man went in there and the men who put in the coal. and I took them away from there and hid them in the oven in the kitchen while the range was out Of use last summer and we were using the gas range.
 Then when fall came and we be- gan to use the coal range again. hid them in your old p1lama hat, which was in the coat closet in the hall. for l knew that no one would ever steal panama hat in the winter time. and they stayed there till month ago.
 Then l knew that you always were poking fun at me about my not being practical, and all that sort of thing. and l was afraid you might take tn } lat out and find theme there and make fun of me, and I moved them again"
 Yes" laughed Andrew. but you seemed tickled 10 death when l did find them"
 ''Ye-ss" said Gmogene, but don t you think it was q good plan all around Andrew? Don't yoH know that no bur glar would ever find them where l had them hidden|'
 ''Nonsense," said Andrew. NO bur glar would fail to find them in any of the fool places you have put them. Why don't you use your noodle a little and bring the stuff up here in the bed room where we are?"
 Why, Andrew" said Imogene' any burglar with aNy sense would look here the first place for valuables"
 "Why, child" said Andrew. pityingIy. "the merest baby could find that stuff where you were putting it." Well, you didn't anyway" said Tmo- gene proudly.
 But I wasn't Hooking for it." pro- | tested Andrew, "a burglar would have been looking for it. Well I don't care" said Imogene; neither you nor a burglar would ever have found it if you had been lI oking 1 for it'
 How absurd" said Andrew. | Its not absurd. so there said Imo- | gene T know I have been looking | for it for over a month, and I didn't l find it and I hid it there myself That's the reason I as so tickled when yon l brought it up"

THE GOLDEN GOD,"
 SERMON BY DR. MACSPORRAN

At the morning service at the First Presbyterian Church the pastor, Dr. J. A. MacSporran took as his text the 4th verse of the 32d chapter of Exodus And he received it at their hands and fashioned it with graven tool and made it a molten calf; and they said These are thy gods. oh, Israel. which brought thee out of the land of Egypt
 The speaker said his interest in this ancient labor movement, the first in his tory, was founded upon the fact that it finds an almost exact parallel in the movements of our present time. He showed that God had delivered His peo- pie from the lash and tyranny of Egypt because He wanted them to be free. He is doing the same thing today and for the same reason. But the people then, as now, are unfit for their freedom. They need to be brought face to fact with the moral order of the universe. Ihey needed the law that comes down from the mount of God. They needed discip- line. education, experience, leadership but above all they needed. religion. sThe whole movement to be saved. to be lifted above low. material aims and 10 be sriritualized must be brought in line with the deep eternal purposes of the Most High
 We see in this narrative the logical and inevitable results of two kinds of leader ship. Moses required discipline ope- dience. repentance. He ruled by the cl- vIne right Of moral and intellectual au- thcrity.
 Aaron is of another order. He IS the man with popular gifts, the fluent, easy speaker who mngles with men ana knows their ways. He is the politician who believes in giving the people what they want, who follows the crowd Whiie he pretends to lead. He indulged the people when they craved for some Nis- ibIe and tangible object of worship, something they could see and understand for themselves. and set up the golden calf The form of this idalatry was shaped by their former environment. III Egypt they had seen the worship or the sacred bull Apis, with all the stateiy ritual of this ancient cult
 This was the religion of the most ,7,.e. Suc. eessful people they had ever known Ina' was why they initiated it. There IS noun inc in this to surprise us It is the most natural thing in the world It always harpens. Human nature is initiative ana follows it's leaders with the instinct oI [ 4 sheep. Those who occupy posltlohs o1 fortune and privilege set the pace aii0 determine the fashions. up" they say to their Aarons, tllei political and labor leaders, ther orsan- 1 izers make us gods like these Le' e' worship force and gold; these are ene things that win, the forces that trlufh.'li'
 These are the gods of all sensiole, sue | cessfn1 peopIe" Mark this. Everythlns | denends upon the gods one worshlps. we | reed men like Moses, the man ol Nisioii'
 the man of courage, the man who uoes
 not concede and condone and lnouise '.
 but who puts the fear of. God into ene
 hearts of all materialistie idolators wne @ 1 imparts a spirit that rebukes the lgnoole
 ambition for material success ana lssues

For the Good of

 V is said to have existed in China since the beginning of that empire is the belief that the devil near-sighted Nemesis, was. wont to pursue his intended victims along the main highways of the nation. The Chinese cleverly took advantage of his satanic majestys short-sightedness by causing their roads to break at abrupt angles.
 According to this belief, in the desper- ate chase which always ensued when a Chinaman started on journey, the devll wolld run headlong into the buttresses along the highway before he saw the sharp turn in the road. Meanwhile, the keen-eyed Oriental, seeing the curves, would turn the corner and cleverly elude the Evil One before the smoke from the sulphuric language had lifted.
 Tn Alabama this superstition evidently took 2 different angle Here the roads were made comparatively straight, but many of them seemed to be without bot toms, especially in the rainy seasons. The snnnosition is that the enlightened people of Western civilization believed that the Devil chasing them along the highways, would get stuck in the mud while they, more agile and of less avoidupois, could take to the firmer paths through the woods or cross over into the fields and es- cane before their relentless pursuer could : extricate himself from the sticky way which. for lack of a better word had been designated as road.
 At any rate, Alabama roads have been noted for the thickness and the sickness of ftheir mud rather than for any other par ticular characteristic. For more than 100 years the people of Alabama have been making roads in the same old way adopted by the earliest settlers. The roads are worse in the greater part of the state than they were 100 years ago. for the simple reason that they are more trav- eled and are called upon to bear heavier burdens.
 Alabama has chance to improve this condition. Next Monday the electors of the state will be called upon to vote upon a bond issue for the purpose of building hard roads; roads that will stand up under the present day heavy trafflc Twenty-Five hundred miles of such high ways is contemplated.
 At the same time the electors of Jeffer- son county will have the opportunity of deciding whether they will supplement the state road building programme by ad- ding s5,O00,0O0 to their own building fund
 With the exception of few miles the roads in Jefferson county are about on a par with the roads of the balance of the
