LOCKWOOD PARK BOOSTER CLUB TO
 BOOST RESORT

Promotion of an Edgewood Park Boos- ter Club by the lille Amusement Enter prises, new owners of the Edgewood property which has been converted into an amusement resort furnishes some- thing new. even though the memberships are for admission to the dance hall and the bathing beach, in the opinion of Hugh w. Hill, president of the company.
 We cali it booster club, just like a commercial organization, or Cham Der of Commerce." said Mir. Hill. 'Of course we have something to sell, but at the price we are charging for just 800 memberships we cannot possibly have any designs on money so far as these memberships are concerned What we want is 800 real boosters and we are willing to give them cut rates to come in with us and help make Edgewood famous We've got the best summer re- sort in Birmingham for bathing and dancing, and, I might add, the only re- sort in Birmingham where dancing is permitted. It may be seen at a glance that in a weeks time one would get one's moneys worth by membership at the price we are charging"
 Mir. Hill was enthusiastic over his club as he discussed it and even went so far as to say he hoped the club would elect officers and hold regular meet ings Work continues to progress at the park and all improvements are expected to be completed on or about June 15, Mir Hill said.

tinue with intent if possible to over come and then surpass the lead which the Standard oil and other independent companies have obtained in the pro- duetion, refining and marketing of oil.
 Sir Auckland stated that a report which he called a wild duck re- port, has prevailed that the British government is negotiating to secure control of the Shell oil Company group. But it IS not the British government. but British capital, now interested in the Shell Company which Is suspected of planning to secure control of the company.
 Sir Auckland's attempt to refute the report that Great Britain's aims to se- cure an oil monopoly was not an un- qualified success. He spoke as one does who is a skillful bargainer not realizing that the oil situation is as we'll understood in the United States as 1t is in Great Britain. Neverthe- less. his speech is regarded as a fore- cast of an attempt greatly to increase friendly relations with the United States and England. Personally, he Is @ man admirably qualified for work of that kind, for it would be difficult to find another with greater charm of manner and a more perfect democracy in which there is no lack of dignity; that is the case with the new ambas- sador from Great Britain to the United StateS

q HURT YOU ON PURPOSE"
 SERMON BY DIR. MACSPORRAN

At the First Presbyterian Church Sunday morning pr. J. A. MacSpor- ran preached from the text, For you were pained as God meant you to be pained and so you got no harm from what I did. The pain God is allowed to guide ends in saving repentance. never to be regretted, whereas the wor Ids pain ends in death.' pr. Mac Sporran said in part
 Tt took great courage to say these daring words to the Greeks in Corinth in the first century, and it requires TO whit less to say them in the twen- tieth. I am inclined to believe it IS because modern congregations don't hear words of this kind more fre- quently that so little genuine progress is made. We go to the churches that entertain and sooth and flatter us. We can withdraw our presence and sup port from the church that dares 10 hurt us by speaking hard truths Peo- pie demand that the sting of the teeth be drawn from the message of Gods truth-passed by the censor-before they will listen.
 Tt is hard, too, to hurt people you live and understand and appreciate Is it any wonder preachers, who are

By Associated Press

Brief Account Of Sermons
 Preached at Local Churches

so human, become indulgent and soft hearted?
 Paul was not that kind of a preach CT. He had written the church of Cor inth letter in white heat, condemning them for condoning a sin among their members. They were hurt and hurt badly, and swore they were done with him. But afterward they became con vineed that he was right and that his action only proved the sincerity of his devotion. And then he says: For you were pained as God meant you to be pained, and so you got no harm from what did.'
 Suffering is not under all circum- stances an evil. Some cry out: If there was good God l would not suf- fer so.' But there would be little ev- idence of the existence of a good God who would let people go on destroy- ing themselves without some sharp re- hinder of the dangers into which they were plunging.
 The day comes when we awak en, through suffering, to human sorrow and need. Then we see the homeless, the maimed and the halt, and hear the cries of the desolate.
 We should never try to forget or explain away our own sins. The way to overcome them is to drag them into the light of day. The acknowledgment of sin is always painful. It should be so. It is right that every sin should be associated with shame and humil- iation.
 We are so thin-skinned, so afraid of being hurt. The desire to sooth and make easy and pleasant is one of our greatest perils. The use of anaes- thetics in surgery is a blessing; in the souls life it is curse
 The mistake of the naturalist who was watching butterfly hurt through it's chrysalis thought he would make ir easy and remove the binding coil But in so doing found the insect could not fly. It needed the struggle to develop the strength to grow it's wings and use it's freedom. We must not make the same mistake in the effort to save others from pain and struggle and effort, for "the pain God is allowed to guide ends in saving repentance, never to be regretted. whereas the worlds pain ends in death.'

DIR. EDMONDS SPEAKS
 ON PERSONAL PURITY

But he spake of the temple of his body" These words from John fur n.shed the leading thought for Dr. Henry M. Edmonds, pastor of the In- dependent Presbyterian Church. in his sermon on The Temple, Sunday morning at Temple Emanu-El Tn the development of his sermon Dr. Ed monds presented plea after plea for personal purity, health, aud for the putting on of immortality now.
 Christ regarded his body as He re- garded the Temple of God. He bore ahout him a body of unimaginable beauty. And all of the glory and beauty that we admire in man and woman today are merely reflections of the glory and beauty of His face
 Hubbard said, Disease is indecent We ought to learn the divine art of eating right. We owe 1t to him to be well You and I ought to be our fair- es. and our best. We ought to make the most of our bodies by giving them the thoughts and words and deeds that will make them glorious and noble.
 We have cathedra1s and temples and yet we invite into them insipient words and deeds far worse than anil mals. We have within us lions and wolves and pigs of greed! And yet we call our temples His templest We take these instruments which God has builded through the centuries and use tEem for things unclean and unworthy.
 Every single aptitude of the soul, every single dream must wing them selves out into the world of men through these bodies. We may trans late PauPs words in this way; This mortal must be putting on immor- tality.' It is as though we were talk ing a kingly robe and placing 1t about our shoulders.
 "I believe some bodies are more spiritual than others, and that bodies grow in spirituality as the soul with In grows like the Master. l have no sympathy with the hatred of body. Christ thought of His Father when He spoke of His body. And so should we.
