William James
Lawrence Gilman, in the North American
 Review

Lawrence Gilman, in the North American
 Review.
 'Ardently adventurous and humane;'' that is the singularly happy phrase which the son of William James has hit upon to characterize the genius of his incompar- able father. It would be difficult to give in four words 8 more accurate and com prehensive estimate of that irresistible personality. For 35 years the mind of William James irradiated the intellectual life of such Americans as were exposed to it's contagion between the last of the seventies and the tenth year of the new century, when his swift and luminous spirit set forth to explore those environs Of the actual in whose reality he believed more strongly as he grew older, because Gas he said a few years before his death) he twas just getting fit to live"
 He died at 6S. in the abundance of his uncommuted youth-for it is inconceiv- able that William James would ever have exhibited any spiritual feebleness or in- duration. He lived with an amazing full ness, pliancy, sensibility. That blend of honesty and flexibility which was so dis- tinguishingly his is an uncommon ap- partition on the intellectual stage of America. His Scotch-Irish ancestry gave him something of his fusion of integ- rity and plasticity, his rich awareness of beauty, his boundless capacity for hu- man response, the untameable sense ot comedy which gleams and bubbles through the exuberant torrent of his dis course. He will abide among the greatest of his countrymen-with Thoreau anc Lincoln and Whitman and Franklin and Emerson. For an encouraged few, he

In that way we would not get over our depth and we could, if the plan failed to work out as we think, stop at any given time, It occurs to me also we should be certain that whatever is done at Mobile will not increase the total burden which our traffic has to bear to such an extent to put us out of line with our competitors. In other words, our rates, wharfage railway. should not put us at a disadvantage with New Orleans and other comnetitive ports.
 EFFECT OF RIVER TRAFFIC
 This whole subject has assumed new importance because we heretofore viewed it largely in the light of ocean tonnage, but now must look at it in all it's bear ings and particularly as the situation may bear upon the river-borne traffic, which should be fostered in every req SOnaDIe ana loSltlnaIe way pOSS1Dle.
 There can be no doubt that proper ter minal facilities with modern equipment and handling devices are great need in the proper development of the commerce of our ports, and economical operation of ports is of prime importance in mak- ing a success of our merchant marine.
 "I think there is a great future for Mo- bile and we should not permit conditions to exist which in any measure hamper or handicap her growth. With the joint rail and water rate through the Warrior river for Birmingham and many large in land centers Mobile should become one of the great ports of the nation.
 ''Section 8 of the merchant marine act is one of the features of that legislation that prompted my support of 1t. This section authorizes the shipping board to cooperate with the secretary of war acting under his authority outlined in Sec tion 800 of the transportation act to make charges, etc, with a view of prompting, encouraging and developing ports and transportation facilities in connection with water-borne commerce.
 'I understand the interstate commerce commission has begun or will soon begin an investigation following the sugges- tions laid before them by the secretary of war and the shipping board. It Is to be hoped that such reforms will be initiated as will result in the flowing of commerce through our ports with the greatest possible speed and at the least expense to both the shipper and the ship owner"

"ABRAHAM'S PRAYER"
 SERMON-DR. MACSPORRAN

Abrahams great prayer for Sodom was the basis of pr. J. A. MacSporran's sermon yesterday morning at the First Presbyterian church. How Abraham brought God down by tens as he plead for the turning aside of wrath against that city, until the promise was given that if even ten righteous could be found In all that great community it would be spared Abraham knew Sod- om, knew it's utter wickedness and worthlessnes, yet such was his love for his fellow men that he fought for its salvation with all his might
 Dr. MacSporran brought out how diff ferent was Abraham's attitude to that of so many church people of today to- ward the great mass of humanity. How they treat their own salvation as per sonal and private possession, and how utterly lacking they are in any appar- ent and burning desire to go out and share it freely with all men.
 The minister pointed out how true it is that God never destroys anything until 1t is utterly hopeless. And what is true is forever true. There Is no de- viation, no change in eternal principles. And since even a small minority has this power of saving, the subject of the sermon became clear as minority rule.
 When we stop to think, said Dr. Mac Sporran. we realize that all rule Is rni- nority rule. A crowd, a great gather ing can never accomplish with definite ness. There is too much confusion of though and aim. It is only when a small group meet that business is real ly transacted, a programme laid down that is given to the mass to follow.
 But while minority can and does rule, it only rules when it is right. The small group must have God. righteous ness back of 1t, or 1t has no power.
 Dr. MacSporran also told of the ad- vantage that would have come to Abra- ham had he already his ten men se- lected organized in advance instead of having to go afterward and search them out.
 This was at the bottom of his plea for more organization in the church. With individuals, no matter how many, the responsibility was of necessity di- luted. Organization first is wonder full thing. Then, whatever is under taken is undertaken under right con- ditions and with success assured from. the start.

 For the past 12 years have had stomach trouble; I had indigestion so bad that I could not keep any solid food in my stomach as 1t would fer ment and cause gas to form; I felt so weak and miserable that I was practi- cally down and out. I could not sleep; was very nervous and bloated with gas. which pressed under my heart and I would have terrible palpitation, was short of breath and was so weak that could not raise my hand to take a cup of tea. I could not walk four weeks ago. was so bad and had to quit my job; I was so badly consti- pated and had tried ever so many diff fcrent medicines without any benefit. Finally, thought I would try bottle of Plant Juice and this bottle gave me so much relief that continued to take it until now I am able to eat all kinds of food, sleep well and am not consti- pated any more. Plant Juice has put me on my feet again and I am able to go back to my work. I cannot say too much in praise of this medicine"
