BRIEF ACCOUNT OF
 SUNDAY Y SERMONS

his theme Cause and Cure of Dis rupted Friendship
 Dr. Henry said in part: "A certain tribe which had been on a military en- terprise and had driven out the danger ous enemy returned to the border land of similar tribe, friendly tribe, and in order to establish the fact that peo- pie of all time would krow that they were the same blood, the same customs and the same religion, built an altar to perpetuate these facts, and yet notwith- standing all of this trouble and all of these tokens of friendship, the busy bodies reported to the border tribe that the altar was really menace, and even an unfriendly act.
 When this was reported by those who meant to disrupt the friendship of these friendly tribes, an army was raised and pitched in front of the so reported enc mics.
 Immediately a chosen company Of princes and warriors were sent to de- mand why this altar had been erected on their border, and instead of reply of defiance, were assured that 1t was their sole intention to do a friendly act and establish beyond a doubt that they were people of the same blood, of GUS toms and religions as other tribes that were demanding why the altar had been erected and when it was found that a busy body had caused the misunder- standing all departed to their homes in peace"
 pr. Henry then spoke feelingly of the sacredness of friendship and how neces- sary it is to have real friends to sym pathize with us and to help us when struggling to get on our feet and how impossible it is to do anything worth while without friends.
 He spoke of President Wilson as man who is a victim of the World war, and a. man who has given his best efforts, his health and almost his life to be friend in need to the whole world, and vet busy bodies have tried to make him misunderstood and to fail in his great undertaking.
 There are none so miserable as those who lack true friends, and yet it is easy for misunderstanding to arise between the best of friends as it did between these tribes, when the busy body gets in his dangerous work. What would De an emblem of friendship in one country would be the emblem of enmity in other countries The very fact that we nave iails and wars shows that there nave been disrupted friendships Acts of kind ness as in the case of President Wilson is a distinctive case in point as alreauy mentioned"
 Dr. Henry then spoke of the proper re- ,ationship between man and man and said that this must be, if there is to be The proper relationship between man ana God. That there must be friendship, for- eiveness and love to the exclusion or bickering. misunderstanding, enmity, and to that of the busy body, and cioscd with a strong plea for the proper appre- citation and love of friendship that can not be disrupted.

San Diego, Cal, March 6.-Part of the story. of the collision which re- suited in the sinking of the United States destroyer Woolsey near Coiba island, off the coast of Panama, a week ago last Saturday, was given to- day by officers of the destroyer Stod- dart. which has arrived from southern waters with the advance guard of the returning Pacific fleet.
 Fifteen of the 16 men reported miss ing were drowned, officers said. This group, all biuejackets,, was asleep in the after compartment of the vessel.
 Several bluejackets sleeping on deck were washed overboard and were res- cued by the destroyers nearby, saerch- lights being used to locate the men.
 The collision occurred at about m. Officers of the Stoddert said the night was clear and the visibility good. The big freighter bore down from the north east, and when about 1000 yards away, veercd to the left to pass the Aaron Ward. Then, according to officers from the Stoddert the Steel Inventor took a course to the right, instead of steering through the double column of warships. A few seconds later the freighter and destroyer were in collision, the freighter hitting the destroyer on the starboard quarter and smashing in her side. cut ting her in two
 When the Steel Inventor backed clear the Woolseys bow shot skyward. Hel stern was awash as far forward as the after smokestack and she was reeline idrunkenly in the heavy swells when the searchlights of the other destroyers were turned on the scene. By the time boats had been lowered to give aid te the men in the water, the after end oi the Woolsey had sunk. The forward bulkhead kept the Woolsey afloat unti about 6 a. m.

P|G IRON TONNAGE
 DOWN IN FEBRUARY
Merchant Foundry Production at Low Ebb-TenneSsee Co.
 Converting Own Product

Production of pig iron in Alabama dur ing February was 124,51s tons, compared with 1S5,2S tons in the same month Of 1920
 January production was 143,9e7 tons, compared with 202,2S6 tons in the same lncnta of 1920
 Production of merchant foundry iron, the iron which is sold in the market to stove and pipe makers and all kinds Of foundries is at the lowest ebb in many years.
 On the other hand, the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company, which converts it's own pig iron into steel, is operating at fully as great capacity as at any time in the flush period of 1s2O.
 During the past week the Woodward Iron company blew out the only stack which it had on the active list, and this was followed by the Gulf States Steel company, which shut down steel works as we'll as blast furnace. State of trade accounted for action taken by both con- cerns.~-
 new low ebb in the buying move ment in steel and iron products manifest ed itself around the inauguration period.
 Stacks in Alabama now in operation are the following: One each of the Sioss- Sheffield, Alabama company and Repup- lie Iron and Steel company on merchant foundry; one of the T. C. I. on foundry one on manganese, one on ingot mold iron and six on basic. The product or eight of the stacks is for the steel works. and that of only one is for the general trade.
 Iron operators are inclined to believe the bottom having been apparently reached, the rebound should be forth coming all the sooner.
 The T. c. l. is regularly shipping large quantities of steel products to Europe and the Orient, and recently shipped steel plates and billets to California by vessel out of Mobile,

FIGHT ID BE MADE
 UPON BEAN BEETLE
Auburn Authorities Issue Bul- Ietin Outlining Steps to
 Combat Insect

| Farmers and truckers of Jefferson county may get ahead of the Mexican bean beetle that did so much harm last year and is believed to be in readiness to work as much again if special care is not exercised, the auburn and federal authorities have issued a circular of in- structions
 Early planting is especially advocated This, it is held will enable crop be- fore the warm months when the beetles become active and breed fast.
 ] One Italian market gardener lost s1,S0C through ravages of the beetle last year The official circular reads:
 PLAN OF OPERATION
 Early winter blowing under all bean crop areas, including home and truck gardens, corn field bean fields, COW pea l fields and soy bean fields. is needed to bury all hibernating insects and to save the vegetable matter for the enrichm en. of the soil. Practice deeper blowing than usual, especially where the surface Is fairly level and winter washing will not be serious.
 Clean up, remove or burn over trash piles. sprout patches, ditchbanks and un- cultivated terraces, etc, to destroy the shelter most favorable to keeping the beetles alive through the winter. Re move stumps and stone piles from cul- tivated areas. They interfere seriously with the best use of the land and always favor insect damage. Feed out pea vine hay grown where the insects occurred before April ], as many insects are likely to hibernate in the hay and escape to the fields after it becomes warm in the spring. Corn forage from stalks where corn field beans were grown should be dis posed of as recommended for pea vine | hay, and for the same reasons.
 PLANTING PROGRAMME
 For garden beans, plant only for ar early crop. Use bush or bunch varieties during April.
 1 Field crops of cow peas and soy beans may be planted as uslal until further experience shows what changes may be necessary with these crops.
 l Avoid the use of cornfield beans and late planting of snap beans, as the loss with these crops is likely to be com plete, especially where the beetles oc- cured the previous season.
 | Avoid planting climbing beans along permanent board fences. or against out l Du1iC1nRS where the removal OI eACSSo- ingly favorable conditions for the insects is impossible. Avoid planting in close 1 proxiimty to rock piles, etc. | If desired to grow beans for home can ming, or for the market, depend hence forth only upon the earliest crops. Dc not expect to produce late crop, al 1 least until methods of controlling the bean beetle have been worked out better | than they are at present. | Destroy all remnants of these early crops as soon as the usable portions have | been removed. Flow under vines com pletely and replant the ground to some other than a bean COW pen or any other | drop that would furnish a food supply for this pest during the fall season. l Cooperate, as a good citizen in youl community in this entire programme and thus help to reduce the loss from this pest to yourself and to your neighbors

 SERMON-DR. MacSPORRAN

 'Who was Caesar? He was Nero, the tyrant, the foul, treacherous monster He was Nero, the incarnation of all that was infamous, whose house was a gilded palace of sin What a strange place to find saints! And yet among those slaves of Caesars household were shining saints of God, who served their Saviour in their souls and kept themselves unspotted oy contaminations of that den of iniquity When you excuse yourselves for disioy- alty to your Lord because of temptations that beset you, think of the saints in Caesars household, and you will hang your heads in shame

Christian to keep his hands clean and his heart pure The saints in Caesars house. hold in Nero's day, and in our own sa- lute us with this triumphant testimony.
 These saints lived in two worlds. They had duties to perform in that society corrupt as it was. They had to aSso- ciate with the sordid low and mean. But there was another world open. They were not only in Caesars household, they were in Christ's He was their real Mas ter and gave them the power to do justly, love mercy and walk humoiy with God even in this place where satan seat was.
 "we are all in Caesars household. We are called to render upto Caesar tn~ things that are Caesars and to God the things that are Gods We are not free. We cannot control the things that shook us but we can be saints in Caesar household.
 There are saints in society. people or culture and character, who do not sur render their royalties.

HEROIC FAILURES"
 SERMON BY DIR. EDMONDS

..Nhat aspired to be, and was not, comforts me- Such was Browning g thought in Rabbi Ben Ezra that seemed to one who listened attentlVeiy yesterday morning, also the keynote O. Dr. Henry M Edmond's s profound mes sage that measured the successes of life by it's heroic failures.
 Lord, how long, was the subject of the sermon, and a portion of the text, Qsaiah 6-11), upon which were based the conclusions that no attainment no re- suit, is adequate fulfillment of the dream-that every attainment, every re- suit in history has failed the consumma- ton of the ideal; but that the glory of '. life is in following the gleam-in follow ] ing the star that led wise men to the feet of the worlds spiritual king.
 Through the ages which have recorde1 l the ideals of Constantines day the ideals of the Crusades; the ideals of Luther, and Calvin. and Knox and Crom- well; the ideals of the reformation, anl the American Revolution, and the recent World war, Dr. Edmonds pointed to in cisputable failure, and to disappointed hopes. In a beautiful tribute to Ex- President Wilson, the minister was re- minded of the unrealiZed ideals toward which this great man spent his time and strength. And in appreciation of the laymen's missionary movement, the
 
 world movement. the pastor spoke of their splendid hopes that are yet de- ferred.
 "Christianity is a failure" said Dr. Edmonds. What about this that Christian nation? No nation is yet truly Christian. But for 1000 years we have been reaching out to the achievement of these certain ideals. In years agone you and I began the Christian life, and many times we have failed in the long slow grind of the dag"
 "The real reason for failure,' Dr. Ed mond said. lis that humanity is at war against incarnate evil, and will be to the end.
 A second reason, he stated, was that men pursue flying goal.
 But the glory of Christianity is that it is so unattainable," said pr. Ed monds, "and our glory is that we pur- sue flying goal.
 Paul and Nero lived in the same age, Paul said, I am the chief of sinners 2
 If you hear man say he is succeed ing in the Christian life, you had better sew buttons on your pockets, warned the speaker.
 I've are children of failure, citizens of a city called disappointment, and over the temple of every human effort is written the word tragedy he continued
 "As lond as Jacob s ladder leans against the sky failure will be the tribute we render over attempt to scale it's height.
 There will be failure everywhere as long as the goal is at the right hand of God.
 "Our glory is to expect much, and much to try. You and l are part of the golden sweeping train following in the footsteps of the Master.
 In the year that King Uzzah died, I saw the Lord D quoted Dr. Edmonds.
 When great movements fail. he con tinued. i've go back to silent communion and to the temple, to get glimpse of God.
 " The tumult and the shouting die,
 Captains and kings depart.
 Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
 A broken and a contrite heart.
