NEED OF MIDDLEMAN
 SERMON--DH. MACSPORRKN


 NEED OF MIpDLEMAN
 SERMON--DR. MACSPORRAN
 What Birmingham needs is a man, Christian man, protestant big enough to be an interpreter be- tween Protestant and Catholic" stated pr. A. MacSporran in his morning sermon to the congregation of the First Presbyterian church Sunday. Tt needs, too, a business man big enough for a middle man between capital and labor here"
 These remarks were a portion of his talk upon the functions and ne- cessity for ss-called middle man Interpreters" in our life.
 He pointed out that in>. any time of general upheaval and disturbance such as we are now passing through there is always vociferous search for unnecessary things that are caus- ing the trouble and should be cut out.
 One group claims that all our ills are due to one thing, another to an- other" said the speaker, "and the chances are very great that none of the conflicting forces has in them man of sufficient vision and in- formation to see all the elements in all their proper rations and values.
 
 man just now in the world is in the matter of spiritual affairs In the earlier simpler stages religious mat ters are more of the emotions, mat ters of many words, off speaking with tongues &s They were grown out of awe and reverence of the forces of nature. But to such there was no clear in- terpretation. From such conditions would come another Babel, words without meaning. But out from all this welter of words and dim seen forces came up the artists and poets and prophets--building up toward God; installing meaning and teach- ing religious relations and truth"
 Dr. MacSporran declared that the whole teaching of knowledge has been the interpreting done by middle men.
 Coming on to the worlds great spiritual and moral poverty as re- vealed today. the minister sounded again the call for men big enough in mind and spirit to serve as iIter- prefers, as middle men. They should be able to lead the contending forces, up out of the low grounds of preju- dice and class consciousness and blindness to the higher ground where such matters can be settled in justice.

Webb. one of the two convicts who ernoon.
 Word was received by the Jeffer- son county officials last night that Webb, who was serving the last few months of a 1o-year sentence for highway robbery from Etowah coun- ty, had been caught near Littleton by some of the prison authorities.

 Webb was returned last night to the flat Top prison, where IL IS saiu that information was gained from him as to the movements of Reeves. He is alleged to have stated that Reeves had proceeded to Dora, where he expected to catch Frisco freight train toward Birmingham, and thence to go in the general direction of Att lanta.

"HIDDEN MAN OF THE
 HEAHT"-DR. BRANSCONB

"The Hidden Man of the Heart" was the subject of the sermon of pr. l.. c. Branscomb, editor of the Ala bama Christian Advocate, who filled the pulpit of the First Methodist church Sunday morning, the subject being based on the text as found in Peter 1894.
 St. Peter contracts the outward appearance with the hidden man of the heart, or the real selft. In every day language we call this inner man character said Dr. Brans- comb.
 Remember the distinction between character and reputation. Reputa- tion is what man says we are. Character is what God knows us to be. Sometimes these agree. Often there Is a wide difference between them. We are not to despise the good opinion of others. A worthy reputa- tion IS most glorious possession. had rather have the confidence Of those who know me than the weai--I of a Croesus without that confidence. l had rather the foul hand of an assassin would take my life than that the fouler tongue of slanderer should slay what reputation l may nave Tor integrity. But While a repu- tation Is to be most earnestly de- sired, a good character is far better In fact, it is the grandest possession In the universe of God.
 "Whatever mans character Is, sooner or later 1t will be known. You may clothe holy life in peas ants garb and cover 1t with the dust of toll and travel, but some day 1t will be transfigured so that even the raiment will be as white as light Your sins will find you out. Your righteousness will shine like the noon day.
 "A good character Is not built in day. It takes time for an acorn to become an oak. The coral workers do not construct their strongholds over night. The time element must enter into the building of a noble soul.
 Character alone endures. All other possessions fail. Reputation may be lost But the vile tongue Of the villifier can no more touch your character than the bullet of the mur- derer can harm your soul. Let us then build not for time but for eter- nity; not for each. but for heaven' not for self. but for God. Lift up your heads, lift up your hearts, look to the hills, behold the stars.

 While no woman is entirely free from periodic suffering it does not seem to be the plan of nature that woman should suffer so severely and when pain exists something is wrong which should be set right. Every girl who suffers from monthly cramps should give Lydia E. Pinkham's vege- table Compound fair trial.
