THE REAL REVIVAL"
 SERMON BY DR. MACSPORRAN

pr. John A. MacSporran preach ed Sunday morning at the First Presby- terian church on "The Real Revival" {" Taking Be Thou Watchful and Estab- fish the Things that Remain Which Were Ready to Die" (Rev. iii, 9 for his text, he spoke of the first signs of death in anything being dropping and with ering in the outermost parts; of how decay does not manifest itself first at the center bu the extremities By the same token it is of no use to try to re- place the dead farthest leaf of a dying tree; that is but artificial, unreal, with out hope of success. The trouble must be looked for deeper, down in the~roots and heart.
 Dr. MacSpornan said that in the churches no man or woman dropped and lessened their activities voluntarily. They might think they did, but in real lty they looSened their hold because e they could not help themselves. The vitality was not in them, because spiritual vitality was not reaching them. The failure to hold came first to those most loosely attached to the church. And the remedy must be some thing more than merely local.
 He likened the church to the human body with the blood pressure low or high. With low pressure it meant the Spiritual heart was weak, unable to pump life to the more distant members, and they shriveled because they were not nourished. Where high pressure was the case the heart might be all right, but the circulatory system-the church members-was hard, inelastic,
 
 again spiritual efficiency was impaired.
 So the real revival is one that begins within, strengthening first those things that remain, building up a strong vital center from which new sound branches can go out and be maintained perma- nently. This growth may be slower than dealing in the mass, progressing by leaps and bounds, but it has the saving grace that it will stand For back of it can continually be strength ened and deepened the living church of Christ

MOTORISTS CHARGED WITH VIOLATION OF
 TRAFFIC ORDINANCE

Approximately a hundred motorists or Birmingham yesterday were arrested on charges of violating the section of the traffic ordinance relating to automobile lights recently passed by the board of city commissioners.
 Last night Ellis, Vaughan, Cartwright and Hendrix, motor scouts, were sta- toned in the center of the Twenty-first street viaduct and in about an hours time arrested 40 auto drivers for run ming with bright lights. The others were arrested in other parts of the city.
 Many of the automobile drivers, when arrested. stated they did not know that such an ordinance was in effect. The ordinance has been in effect several weeks and requires the glass in front of the electric globe in the headlight to be painted white or else the globe itself has to be colored in order to take the glare out of it.
 This is not required, police authorities say, when patented lense is used be- cause such a lense softens the light The frosted glass on automobiles is required in addition to dinners.

BRIEF ACCOUNT OF
 SUINDA Y SERMONS

the church, are His followers, Dr. Ed monds continued in substance:
 Jesus might have sent angels to her aid His gospel instead of halting men and women, xut He always chose the method of using personality to feed the hungry crowd.
 If people are to be fed, you and 1 have to go out with the preachers mes sage, get behind it in prayer, be a part of it as a church.
 soThere are vast crowds in the Br- mingham district" stated Dr. Edmonds. within a radius of 50 miles there are 6O0,OOO people touching no large town with the exception of Bessener. Think of the need fof 60O000 people, many or whom are hungry for the gospel Think of the foreigners who have followed the little light that beckoned them to Amer ica and to the industries of this district. Think of the need around her mining csmpsl
 "One fact which has struck me for cibly." said Dr. Edmonds, lis that the crowds around Birmingham are made LID largely of men-unattached young men hving in boarding houses and apart rents. and entrenched behind the walls or our office buildings. Birmingham also has an unprecedented crowd of young people, recently married, just establish ing the family life.
 ''This crowd around our city needs most of all a Christian philosophy, Christian way of thinking.
 Divorce dissipation, greed rise out Of a wrong philosophy that life means pIeasure or the amassing of wealth.
 ''The philosophy of life is to serve, declared pr. Edmonds, "and the crowd IS hungrv for the Christian philosophy or service.
 ''The crowds around Birmingham, com posed of great and small, need teach ing to combat their ignorance, gospei to cure their vice. They need somebody to tell them of a power that is plgger than sin, of a power to overcome sln They need all things that we have who name the name Of Jesus Christ.

TRUCKERS PLAN WAR
 ON BEAN BEETLE

At meeting of the farmers and truckers of the county held at the chamber of commerce arrangements were perfected for the cooperative purchase of baskets and crates for the season.
 Dr. Thomas, of the Auburn experiment tai station, made a talk on the bean beetle, which proved so destructive to the bean crop last year. What 1t will do this season cannot be fore casted because few beans are up and the beetles have not matured. Ex- periments are being made at the ex- perimental farm at Ketona in methods of destroying the pest, but no definite results have been announced. The farmers and truckers also dis cussed the premiums to be awarded for best exhibits at the state fair.

DIR. EDMONDS SPEAKS
 ON "FEEDING THE CROWD"

Feeding the Crowd" was the subject of Dr. Henry M. Edmonds' sermon de- livered yesterday morning to a represen- tative congregation of the Independent Presbyterian church.
 From Matthew 16-18 the minister se- lected his text, calling attention through out his discourse not so much to the miracle of multiplying the loaves and fishes to feed a hungry crowd. but em- phasizing the pronouns 'ye " and them in the command of Jesus to His disciples: "Give ye them to eat"
 We have habit of looking upon the crowd as the off-scouring of the earth. . Dr. Edmonds said but Jesus always looked upon the crowd with compassion. as sheep without a shepherd"

SYRIAN PRINCESS TELLS OF BEAUTIES OF THE HOLY LAND
Princess Haider Draws Vivid Picture of Native Land at the
 Southside Church :. Will
 Present Drama Tonight

Inspired with the longing for her native land and fired with the hope that some day it's ancient glories may be revived, the Princess Rahme Haider, in an eloquent and forceful address last night delighted an audi ence that taxed the spacious audi torium- of the Southside Baptist church.
 Princess Rahme is a descendant of a long line of Semitic royalty; her features and accent tell plainly her native race. She appeared last evening in native cos- tune of the Syrian of upper rank and her message was clothed in the language Of the highly cultured and educated American woman.
 UNDER SYRIAN STARS
 Choosing as her subject, "Under Syrian Stars, the princess vividly pictured the land of her girlhood. She told of ancient Baalbak, her birthplace, and of her edu- 'cation there and at Biernt and later at the universities in this country.
 My motive in appearing here tonight" she said lis to give the people clearer Knowledge of Syria and it's people. Jt Is SlitiSt oO lCW peODle seem to IedllLc that Syria and Palestine are the same. It is hard to imagine what tiny coun- try Syria really is. Yet there is no sec ton of the globe it's size which has made more glorious history or left more profound impression upon the hearts and minds of all people than Palestine. It was the birthplace of our Lord and the scenes of His ministry
 PICTURE OF HOLY LAND
 Princess Rahme drew an interesting word picture of the Holy Land, dwelling upon the scenery, climate, productive ness ahd people. She corrected numerous false impressions that are current con cerning the Syria of today. Tn part, the princess said, the false impressions of Syria have been created by the tour ists who have visited the country. These have generally made only hurried trip through the land and seldom come into contact with the better classes, and con- sequently returned with a misconceived idea of Palestine and her people,
 The beauty and grandeur of Mt. Leb- anon, from whose top the entire land of Palestine may be seen, was told of at length by Princess Haider.
 PLAYED IMPORTANT PART
 It seems almost incredible, was the opinion expressed by the princess, that so small a country has played an inn portant part in the fortune and affairs of the human race No other country. save Egypt has given as much to civ.' ilization as Syria, but it's decay, she at tributed, to the long Turkish occupa- ton. However, the princess, throughout her lecture, by both her speech and man. ner, evinced the hope that her land would some day regain it's former posi- tion and power among the nations of the world.
 GIVES DRAMA TONIGHT Tonight at 8 o'clock at the Southside Baptist church Princess Rahme will make her last appearance in Birmingham, presenting her powerful drama, "Naa- man the Leper' It will be given in scenes and vividly gives the story as it was enacted in those early days. She will be assisted by her companion Miss Lucille Burgess who will present the oriental music and Miss Leah Steed violinist, of Chicago.
