S0LO|STS FEATURE TALE OF OLD JAPAN
Cantata by Choral Societies Well Received at Services
 at the Lyric

Under the direction of Gordon Erickson, the community service committee presented the beautiful cantata, "A Tale of Old Japan" at tho Lyric theatre last night, with the combined choral societies of West End, East Lake and Ensley Fairfield and the community sing orchestra augmented to 20 pieces. The cantata followed immediately after the usual Sunday evening services of the In dependent Presbyterian church, at which Dr. George Lang of the Uni- versity of Alabama preached.
 Soloists in the cantata were Mrs. J. A. Mitchell, soprano; Miss Rebecca Basemore, contralto; Sam Thomas. tenor. and T. E. Durham, baritone. The solos of each were received with appreciation by the large audience.
 A special feature of the rendition of the cantata was the splendid har- mony in the large chorus, which was composed of more than 50 voices F ach voice blended perfectly. and the effect was beautiful. The com munity sing orchestra, which had been augmented to a5 pieces, fur nished the background for the chor- uses and solos.
 This is the first time this Coler- idge- Taylor cantata has been pre- scnted in Birmingham. and the Lyric was crowded for the occasion. Much credit was given Mir. Erickson for his work in training the three choral societies and in token of their ap- preciation of his efforts the East Lake Choral society presented him with a suitable gift immediately after the cantata had been rendered.

BRIEF ACCOUNT OF
 SUNDAY Y SERMONS

And from such leaders and leader ship, the minister declared, the rivers of public opinion spring and go down, moulding the thought and character of nations
 For this very reason it is impor- tant, he said. is.utterly essential that the leaders on the churches side, who are equally wise, equally intelligent. do their fullest duty in building up finer ideals and stronger moral fibre in the world
 1t is in this way that such ma Lerislism as Germany produced can be avoided or beaten down For otherwise there can be only apathy and dull hopelessness and dwindling faith.
 Then bringing the lesson home. Dr. MacSporran dwelt on the essential ness of action rather than mere pas sive acquescence. He made a stir ring call to the church to arouse and work. to put aside ease and to sacrifice for it's beliefs
 Drawing a parallel between the task confronting the Jews when they set about 10 rebuild their walls and their temple upon their return to Jerusalem, and that faced by his own church, he held out to them g clear vision of what they could do. what they should do, and what if they kept their faith. they must do in working out the plans of God for them and for their city.

CHINA FAMINE FUND.
 CAMPAIGN CLOSED.
Chairman Hail Issues State ment in Appreciation of
 Work Done

Joe c, Hall, state chairman, and Harry T. McBroom, state secretary of the Alabama committee for China famine fund, gave out the following statement Saturday when the office of the committee, located in the Young Mems Christian association building, was closed: I've deeply ap- preciate the splendid cooperation given us by all in carrying on the re- lief work for the starving Chinese. Especially are we grateful for the help given us by the committee ap- pointed by the Birmingham Federa- the sale of life saving stamps among their members, of which committee Mrs. M. Yerby Hudson was chairman. Mrs. Hudsons committee worked faithfully for success. and their eff forts were not in vain.
 Special mention should be made of the work of Mss Stella Gee, mem Der of the committee, whose sales totaled nea"ly $2oo. Miss Gee was the representative of St. Marys-on the-Ei ghland Episcopal church. Other good workers on the committee re- porting to the state office were Mrs. NJ. Yerby Hudson. Mrs. c. T. Randall, Mrs. J. o. Hassell and Mrs, W. D. Moody.
 Many faithful workers throughout the state were busily engaged in the work when the telegram was re- ceived from New York announcing abundant rainfalls and unexpectedly large gifts on the part of the Chinese made further collections unnecessary. However, great amount of rehabilitation work will have to be done, and many thousands of orphaned children temporarily cared for by the American committee, so every dollar contributed will be needed, and we therefore urge all who are holding funds for this cause to send them in immediately to Will liam H. Manly, treasurer, Birming- ham Trust and Savings company"

isR. MACsPORKAN SPEARS
 ON 1.-THE LAST DEFENSE'

Calling the churches the last de- fcnse of civilization pr. J. A. Mac Sporran preached brief and forcefui sermon Sunday morning at the First Presbyterian church on the subject of undermining and strengthening the pattlenents and Qualifications of the church.
 He brought out how it was sheer waste of money and effort to build any other way than through sacrl- Aces. For only with sacrifice goes the spiritual deepening that is the vital thing of the church.
 The need of such rebuilding and strengthening is apparent all about us he pointed out. For example, the discussion that is taking place m England over the recent contention Of leaders in sr,ence and sociology that human nature is unchange geabie. that man has always been a fighting animal and always will be.
 This cuts off, he said. all hope of permanent peace or even of really mitigating the horrors of warfare

 Rev. H. c. Walton preached to a large congregation at the First Cum berland Presbyterian church, Nor wood, using as subject, The Sur rendered Life..' Text, For whoso- ever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoeyer shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel shall rave it. Mark, S.35.
 Dr. Walton said in part; "He who attempts to save himself is certain to come to destruction and ruin. He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting. He who would cast all at the Ssvior's feet and peni- tently and trustingiy surrender him. self asa living sacrifice. shall be re- ceived and blessed by Him, who said T am come that they might have life, and that they have it more abund- antly.
 Many are the happy results ot a definite surrender to God, Give your life to God and He will fill it with ioy and peace. Only consecrated lives can be useful in the vineyard of our Christ The need of the world today is more leaders. business men, preachers. who are pledged to Chris tianity. true representatives of Christ and who daily lose themselves in Ia bors of love for Him and the Gospel sake.
 He that winneth souls is wise. And they that turn many to right eousness shall shine as the stars for ever and ever. He that goeth forth and weeretA. bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again with re' ioicins, bringing his sheaves with him."

 In discussing the storm of yester' day, MT. Horton said that no damage was done to trees and fruits by the rain.
 Many people were alarmed by tho brisk winds which blew over Birr mingham for about half an hour this afternoon, preceding the rain. The wind, at it's highest point, attained velocity Of 95 miles an hour. It takes a wind blowing at A rate of at least 50 miles an hour to do any SC : rious damage. Trees and fruit were not damaged by this wind.
 People along the coast almost daily experience winds of S5 and 10 miles an hour. For an inland city like Birmng gbam, about 20 miles an hour is about the highest velocity the wind attains under ordinary condi- tions."
