SERVICE" SUBJECT OF
DIR. EDMONDS' SERMON

Maintenance of individuality in order to
render to all people the greatest service
of which one is capable was the general
subject of the sermon by DR.. Henry NJ.
Edmonds yesterday morning at II o'clock
at Temple EMANUEL. The church was
crowded to capacity.
The text of the sermon taken from the
book of John 1919, was, "And FOR Their
Sakes I Will Sanctify Myself"
"Sanctify, used as John used it in that
verse means to set apart, to dedicate .
said DIR. Edmonds 1.-THE first step il
leading a life of the greatest benefit to
humanity is to find the true self and
the second is to lose 1t in service to hu-
manity. This merging of the single life
into that of society does not mean sur
rendering the individuality but rather
bringing it to serve all men to the COM
mon good"
when a. man sits In the council of
men and is himself merely an echo of
the thoughts, opinions and beliefs of his
ne;ghbor, then he is absolutely useless
and should be put out of the world for he
does nobody good He encumbers the
earth"
"All over the world the greatest single
characteristic of people is the desire for
freedom, the wish to express themselves.
The greatest enemy to this freedom is
sin and the next greatest is the desire
to be different, which leads many a man
to a self conscious strain at an effect
which is unnatural Such an effort re-
tards the growth of individuality and
renders men unable to give the best of
themselves to humanity"
THE third great enemy to freedom is
the achievement of self by the ruthless
method. OF this the most striking ex-
ample is the recent failure of the Kaiser
of Germany
Through cooperation, team work, los
ing ones self in the best interests of the
community, any of those things and you
can call it what you WILL lies the great

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

day we want to refer especially to the
part that your paper played in bringing
about this success. We consider 1t the
most potent factor outside the pulpit,
for in your continuous reports the people
were constantly informed and in this
way were truly and genuinely interested
in what was being done.
Every Baptist in this district appre-
ciates your cooperation and yesterday
morning at tho Baptist pastors confer
once unanimous vote of thanks was
taken and the writer was asked to con-
vey to you this information. We take
pleasure in doing so.
/ feel that the regeneration of the soul
lies at the heart of all social economic
peace, and feeling this way the work
we are doing is the greatest that can
be done for humanity in time as well as
eternity. SO in aiding in this work we
feel your institution is functioning in
its highest possibility.
You have so willingly co-operated with
Us in this great movement that we are
happy to hail you as a co-worker In the
greatest task ever given to man. We not

GOD AND THE BIBLE"
DISCOURSE BY DIR. CLARK

DR.. c. e. Clark, pastor of the First
UniversaHst church of Birmingham,
preached at The Galax theatre Sunday,
taking for his subject: God and the
Dlple. lie said In part:
Life is what We are living day b.
day. Eternal life is not simply a ques-
ton of duration but of breadth and fui
ness. This quality is the result o.
knowing God We know Him as W.,
know men.
I'VE do not know heaven by readin
Milton, but we know the writer. Gel
tainly we do not come to know hell b.
reading Dante, but we know the grea
poet. We do not know all the grea
laws of God by reading Moses, but W,
do know Moses.
God is the Father of, not simply Z
select number or of those only WHIT
have been regenerated, but of ali men
and so when he speaks there is that i
our nature by which we may recognize
the word of our Father. Nor do w,
know one another until we come t.
know Him. While men worship a Goo
of whom they have simply heard ant.
to him have attributed absurd passions
and dispositions the world must be full.
of wrangling and sorrow. AS long as
men attribute to him anger, wrath and

and blood shed. Until we have a God
who is recognized as our common
Father, there can be no brotherhood OF
the entire race.
1--WE know men by their works, so we
may know Him by his works. An ar
fist is revealed upon the canvas; a
sculptor in his statue; an architect by
the structure he has designed. Yet we
must say mans finest work is imper-
feet We have to admit him incapable
of making perfect things. because he is
imperfect in nature. The smallest
work of God shows perfection, because
he Is perfect being. Some one may
say God made man and he is not per-
feet. How can he be the work of a
perfect being? I answer he is not yet
made. He is in the making. Ali Gods
works are perfect in results where re-
suits have fully come. In the fulness
of time results are to be reckoned. BY
perfect processes he builds systems
shapes worlds, and refines humanity

How the Consumer Pays for What
He Don't Get

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The writer was more than pleased
to read your editorial under above
heading in your issue Of May 10.
But he was saddened to see how you
bark back to the idea that 1T is the
farmers duty to change this condi-
ton Of affairs.
II the consumer would ever get the
idea that he is the chief sufferer un-
der present distribution methods.
something would be doing.
Distribution is not farming prop
osition, but 2 merchandising, trans
portation, governmental proposition.
The railroads lose yearly sums run
ming into millions of dollars by not
having uniform containers; and SO of
express companies, while the con-
sumner pays the freight. There should
be governmental control of ware
housing, Standardization for marketing
by use of containers and packing of
goods as well as of the quality of
goods shipped.
Take cotton, the only crop at all
standardized that is produced in the
south. Millions OF dollars are annual
ly lost by improper baling, by lack of
warehouse regulations and through
shipments in improper condition. And
If this applies to cotton, how much
more does it apply to all kinds of
perishable stuff being sold?
The farmer Is not now breaking
even and it is only question of time
when our urban population will so far
exceed our rural population that we
will see bread riots in cities like Bir-
mingham and much more in cities like
New York. But If this matter of dis
tribution were taken in hand and
handled as a business proposition, and
the farmer taken care of on the one
hand and the consumer on the other,
a marvellous reduction in costs could
be obtained by the consumer. while
the farmer would be paid better
price for his produce.

mestic science class prepared special

termed the finishing polish. Ashley is

Recreation on Sunday
To the EDITOR of The Age Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Heralu'
/ am heartily in sympathy with the
movement to continue the community
sing in this city Birmingham partic-
ularly needs some sort of institution
like the community sing, for the roll
following, among other reasons
L. Because there is very little IL any
thing in the way of amusement or re-
creation facilities in Birmingham on
Sunday, and
2. Because so large percentage of
tho population of Birmingham Is COM
posed of working people and their
families, who because of the fact that
they are unable to own automobiles,
need some other form of amusement
and recreation on Sundays.
feel that the community sing is to-
day the most democratic institution in
the city One has only to attend these
sings to see that they are attended
By every class of society forming the
population of this great city. Birming-
ham cannot afford to lose the commln>
ity sing, and the writer feels that the
matter, if properly presented to tho
people of the city, will receive the sup
port of enough of the public-spirited
citizens of the city to insure its per-
maEency. WALTER BROWER.

Mardi Gras

AS Mr. R. I'll. Eggleston and his friends
were puzzled as to the meaning of Mardi
Gras and after calling on several school
and city officials, who were unable to
aid them, he finally appealed to Mr. A.
Latady, who said it meant Great Tues
day." Now, as Mr.. Latady has not given
the proper meaning, I think it only fair
for the benefit of Mr.. Eggleston and
others that this be corrected.
The true meaning is fat, Tuesday"
coming from the French words Mardi-
Tuesday and gras-fat. 1t is also "Shrove
Tuesday" or the Tuesday before Ash
nesday-Tuesday in Passion week.
Mr.. Latady has apparently become con-
fused as to the French word fros, mean
ing great, much, large, and the word
gras, meaning fat, fleshy, abuse Yours

MADCE KENNEDY AT
 THE PALACE SUNDAY

Madge Kennedy. at the Palace Sunday and Monay, is accepted by press and public alike as one of Americas leading opponents of light comedy, both of screen and stage. The secret of her success lies in personality that is wholesome and unaffected.
 "Dollars and Sense" presents Madge Kennedy with the kind of part she has made famous. To add to the pictures appeal there is a charming touch of pathos in the story of the hungry little chorus girl who learned the lesson of real humanity from the humble baker. The demure Madge was never seen to better advantage, it is said. She mixes chuckles and heart-throbs with exquisite skill, and makes laughter tremble on the brink of tears
