JOHNNY L / ]
 SHOWaEs
Great Amusement Feature of State Fair to Arrive
 on Special Train

Johnny J. Jones' special train has arrived with the biggest, show on earth"
 The last line may sound extrava- gant," says Ed R. Salter. the pub licity promoter for Johnny J. Jones. but when We arrive in any city and start to unload 32 70-foot flat cars, there is nobody present to dispute my statement; and what reception awaits Johnny J. Jones in every city he visits! His career has certainly had tendency to make one believe the fairy, story of 'Aladdin's Lamp was in truth s reality.
 Just imagine, only a few short years ago this diminutive Welshman was newsboy on the streets of Du- bois, Pa~.sthen coal miner, next we see him as news agent on the rail- road trpns, then presto. He exhibits for our edification the largest out door amusement entertainment in all North America.
 Johnny J. Jones' exposition was thought by many to have reached the zenith of it's career with the remask- able list of attractions and the phe- nomenal route extended to it last seat son, but for. the coming year a much better route has been contract ed for. and visit this week and a view of the Joy Plaza will convince any spectator that Johnny ! Jones' exposition of 1921 discounts last sea- son by 100 per cent in every depart meEt.
 ''Tne most noticeable feature is the flet that almost all of the attractions e..hilsted this season will be new and while the Joy Plaza is distinctively ' conceived and constructed for amuse mcnt purposes, however there is ex- hlhited vast amount of entertain menS that is instructive educational- iy and most interesting from an his- l torical standpoint"

DEMAND INCREASES. FORRES|DENCE LOTS.

Demand for high-class vacant res idence lots in Birmingham is very strong and this demand, coupled with the limited supply. is causing sharp stiffening of prices. according to Jemison & GO. and H. Key Milner of the Milner Land company.
 Moderate priced homes of the bet ter class, ranging in value from $6.0o0 to $S,5Oo, are also in great demand.
 Vacant lot sales during last week reported by Jemison & Co. include. Dr. w. G. Harrison to Mrs. k. D. Morrow, a 50-foot lot on Hairston street, near Eighth court, south, in the Country club district; Glenwood Realty company to George H. Ran dall, a 75-foot lot on Cliff road in the Mountain Terrace district.

"MOVING OF THE SOULv
 SERMON-DR. MACSPORRAN

There was much of the sense of the journeying, the pilgrimage of life, in Dr. J. A. MacSporran's morn ing sermon before the congregation of the First Presbyterian church Sunday He spoke of life as q travel from a beginning to an end. He said, in part:
 Tn this spiritual journey, this moving of. the soul toward it's goal, there is contrast between the staiic people, those whose movements are in a circle, an eddy, ending where they began, and those more robust individuals to whom the road of life was d call and d challenge.
 ''The latter, having aim, purpose, vision, direction. are not travelling from old things to old things again, but are going on to something diff ferent, beating their way forward, seeing and being inspired by their goals
 Chief among the fine spirits we meet upon the road, is the divine teacher and traveller. And since in- evitably we meet Him, our reaction to the meeting is that which meas ures us and determines what our lives shall be.
 "He shows us the road, shows us what it holds and invites us to fol- low Him. No matter where you want success, all things worth while can be done in two ways: Christ's or the other way. But only Christ's way can succeed permanently. Tt seems that there can be no evasion after we hear that follow | Me Either we do, or we but quib hle and deceive ourselves if we make any attempt to equivocate." Dr. MacSporran illustrated the I three groups into which men on this road of life fell as they met Christ | there.
 There was the eager volunteer. easily enthused, easily discouraged, who undertook all things too lightly and dropped them too quickly. Such as he showed the danger of
 too great emotionalism in religion. It was not in such soil that enduring souls grew.
 :, Secondly came the reserved and
 absorbed souls, strong men and po- tential leaders that the Kingdom of God needs and must lay hold on. Such men do not rush in. They must | be drafted into service. But, once in, they are the strong pillars that 1 never fail

"sAvIOR's sUFFERINGs,v
 SERMON-DR. HENDRIX

From the text, And with his
 stripes we are healed" pr. W. R.
 Hendrix. pastor of the Highlands
 Methodist church, spoke to his con- gregation yesterday morning on The Sufferings of the Savior as Related 1 to Our Salvation.' He said in part: The sins of mankind cast their | dark shadow over the whole uni
 verse, from which even God himself
 cannot escape. The kinship of a good father on earth to an unworthy son is fact which no amount of sin on
 the part of the son can obliterate
 nor destroy. While the prodigal child pursues his downward course, he may
 not drag his father into his degre-
 dation, but he does bring his gray
 hairs in sorrow to the grave
 All human history has gone to
 show us how fundamental and in- escapable are the divinely estab- lished relations existing between
 fathers and their children, and how l frequently the sins of the children
 pierce the hearts of their fathers
 with an anguish more bitter than Is felt in the heart of the shining child. l The better the father, the moDe poig- nant is his grief and sorrow over the 1 sins of his children. Because God is 1 the Good Father of all Of us, our i sins on earth fill his compassionate heart with sorrow and anxiety for
 us. Nowhere are mems sins so felt
 as up in heaven
 There may be dark and unfathom-
 able mystery gathering about the problem of the innocent and guilty l suffering together, but at least one thing is clear and that is that, in the suffering of the good for the sins Of the wicked, there Is a glorious reme- dial power. It was this discovery l which filled the wondering soul of Isaiah with joy as he declared, with
 his stripes we are healed
 "We may not enter into those dark regions where the theologian would lead us in his doctrine of 'substitu- tion.' But even our dim vision may see something of the redemptiye power which is operating to save the /, wicked, in the suffering of good men
 and women in this world. Many profligate has been filled with re- 1 morse when he has seen the sorrow of his heart-broken loved ones over his own sins.
 Indeed, it is fact of our shining experience that we never see our own evil deeds in their true nature, until we see the suffering of those 1 loved ones who have not shared in the evil, but who must share in the
 suffering for the deeds for which we alone are responsible.
 | In evil company men often roll sin under their tongues as a sweet morsel,' but when their sins nave Lbeen brought home and set up in the 1family circle, causing father to hang his head in shame, and filling moth- er's heart with unutterable anguish the evil deed takes on another aspect to the evildoer. Who can tell what
 sins are prevented by the knowledge that innocent loved ones must suffer on account of our wrong deeds. What a multitude of reformed and regenerated men have been moved | to take their first steps toward better life by the sufferings which they had brought on innocent people, | When a man sees his own sins as those innocent loved ones see them,
 he is well on the way toward . changed life"

"NATURE OF MEN"
 sERMON-DR. HENRY

Dr. W. G. Henry, pastor of the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church, took as his subject at the morning service yesterday, "The Effect of Environment and Association Upon the Mental, Physical and Spiritual Nature of Men" Dr. Henry said in part:
 Tn the early days men usually ex- pressed themselves in figurative language, often using the allegorical to portray their thoughts. while later they became intensely literal. At this time they consequently believ- ed that it would be pleasing to their Creator to put low estimate on the body and often lacerated, afflicted and starved 1t, thus bringing 1t under subjection with the idea that the spiritual nature would thus be edi- fled.
 This idea we know to be errone- ous, for while we believe that the body should be kept under control yet it should not be abused but nourished, cherished and developed if the mental and spiritual natures are to function to the highest and best advantage.
 Millions live on low plains think ing of nothing but selfish graitfica- ton and indulgence of the body, giv- ing little attention to the mental and spiritual side of life. Those who thus live will reap reward of sin. sorrow and death for such living must inevitably lead to destruction according to the scriptures.
 Tt is important that person live in wholesome environment in order that right impressions may be made. The brain, an instrument of the mind, is impressionable and as im- presSions are largely indelible. then it is tremendously important that correct ideas and habits be formed in early life. The company kept, the literature read, and the instruc- ftion given will determine largely the kind of person one Is to be.
 "We should so train in early life that correct habits of speech, of conduct, of attitude toward right liv- ing become automatic and reflective.
 "Often the question of what to do with the dance is asked. In the light of psychology and of the scriptures the modern dance Is extremely harm ful as well as are many other diver sions being engaged in by multi

RUPTURE EXPERT
 IN BIRMINGHAM
Demonstrates the Famous Rice Method Free to
 Callers at Hotel

If you are ruptured, your big op- portunity has now arrived. If you would like to be free from the slav- cry of gouging, pinching. channg trusses that make life a burden, then HERE and NOW Is the time to act.

 MT. Gilligan is here to personal ly demonstrate to all ruptured peo- pie what the Rice Rupture Method can accomplish. You have, no doubt heard and read much about this fa- nous method and the cures which thousands have reported from it.. Now, you have the chance to find out all about it--to have it demon strated to you and see what it can do in YOUR OWN case. Just call at the hotel and MT Gilligan will give you his personal attention, hls best advice, and complete demonstration. absolutely without charge.
 Are you tired of that binding, hampering, uncomfortable truss? Would you like to be free of it for ever? Then investigate this Rice Method and find out the possibilities 1t holds out. Surely a method that could cause so many thousands of former rupture sufferers to report cures must be worthy of your full and complete investigation.
 The Rice Method is different from anything else. It is modern, up-to- the minute, abreast of the latest sci- entific developments. It is the one method that you are not asked to take on faith alone--the one method that is positively demonstrated to you, right on your own person, with out any charge whatever. You do not spend a penny unless. after hav- ing a full and complete demonstra- method for you. And you-you alone are the sole judge of that.
 In justice to yourself come in and see MT. Gilligan. Remember, he will be here only three days. then your opportunity will be gone. Grasp it NOW. It may prove to be the wis est thing you ever did, and anyway, it costs you nothing to find out.
