OLD CHINATOWN
 AT ELKS BAZAAR Plan Many Unique Features for Elk Charity Fund
 BaZar

Chinatown as San Francisco knew 1t in the balmy days, now long departed, will be brought right before the very eyes of Birmingham when the Ellss Lodge No. 179 opens it's charity bazar at ths Eillls home. Eighth avenue and Eight eenth street, February A. The bazar is to be given for raising money for Elk's charities. and will continue through a week.
 The Chinatown feature which will be staged in the basement of the home, will be one of the many attractions which the Elks have planned, and it will be a miniature reproduction of the famous San Francisco underworld, showing the hashish eater, and the opium smoker In the glory of his olden days.
 A contest is to be held amongst the young ladies who are to sell bazar tickets, five prizes to be awarded to those selling the most. All the schemes conceivable for regular old time bazar will be in evidence, and the Elks say they will have few surprises to hand out to the visitors, including the giving away of a Premocar automobile.
 "All for the glory of Birmingham, is what w. H. Dewey. chairman of the committee on arrangements, says, when speaking of the elaborate plans the com mittee is forming.
 Those serving on the committee with MT. Dewey are Dr. B. A. Fox, Robert Hernandez, A. s. Winch and w. $. Car penter.

"CONSOLIDATIONS OF
 GQD"-DR. J. E. DILLARD

Before large congregation yesterday morning Dr. James D. billiard, pastor of the Southside Baptist church, preached an interesting sermon on -The Consola- tions of God Taking as his text Are the cancellations of God to small for Thee?' Job 15-11, Dr. billiard said in part:
 "One of the most glorious things that can be said for our religion is that it offers us cancellations that enable us to bear our burdens and disappointments. the consolation of God too small for though the cancellations of philosophy of science, of fatalism and of friends fail.
 q am not angry with the man who has no religion and l do not care to argue with him, but I do pity him be- cause of what he misses. Sorrows many and dire come to us all, but the Chris tianf man has found a place of peace amid the storm. If he is overtaken in a and restoration. If he is too weak to bear his burdens, there is the promise of strength. If he is cast upon the bed of affliction an unseen friend is present to speak word of cheer. If he wades through waters of sorrow, there is one by his side, whose help never failed. If the reaper whose name is Death takes flower from his home, he is assured it is transplanted by the Fathers care and that he shall see it again. When the hour of death approaches, he has the promise of the one who said I will come again and receive you unto myself
 T am not angry with the man who has no religion and l do not care to ar que with him, but I pity him. Eartf has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. 7

AFTERNOON SERVICE AT FIRST PREBYTERIAN

Declaring that Christ was the worlds first and greatest aristocrat, Dr. John A. MacSporran preached It the Sunday afternoon service in the First Presbyterian church on the theme of "Flattering Unction." By this, Dr. MacSporran explained, he meant that the great kfoundation stones of aristocracy are high standards. Christ Himself was of royal lineage of the house of David. and he stood always for the highest and best.
 Dr. MacSporran pointed out that the hatred and opposition to Christ in high places in the modern world is no long CT of religious origin and tone; it is social, political, economic. And this is due to the erroneous idea that He stood for class consciousness, a democracy that meant low standards and a gen. eral leveling. On the contrary, he said, Jesus call always was for men to go on to the heights-not to lie nor falter. For turn back.
 That will do," with it's implication that something less than the best was passable, pr. MacSporran declared to have done more harm than any other sentence in the English language. He closed with a plea for dissatisfac- ton with mere "village applause" the appreciation of friends and neighbors of ones own level. Rather become Christian aristocrats true companions of the shining immortals."

s'THE PROPHETS MANTLE"
 SERMON-DR EnM0NnC


 The permanent bequests of life and the shrinkage of material values as re- vealed at some high moment, after tests of patience and fidelity, pr. Henry M. Edmonds presented yesterday morning in his sermon on ''The Prophets Mantle" The congregation of the Independent Presbyterian church gave thoughtful hearing to the message of the second chapter of second Kings from the ninth verse of which was selected Elisha's re- ply to Elijah's proffered bequest as the text: "I pray thee let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me-"
 We are struck by the shrinkage of values under certain circumstances" said Dr. Edmonds. When the Titanic was struck by an iceberg, one man rushed to his stateroom for little box of money and jewels valued at SS00,WO. 1Ie returned with three oranges in his hand which he gave to the children who were being hurried into the lifeboats While traversing the distance from deck to stateroom there had dawned upon his consciousness a shrinkage of values
 We cannot judge a man until we see him die, or know how he met death, reminded the minister, continuing his message in part:
 When one man has followed another as Elisha had followed Elijah, through tests of fidelity and patience, from Gilgal to Bethel. from Bethel to Jericho, from Jericho over Jordan, ne witnesses lho power of the whirlwind and knows the value of kingly going.
 After such tests Elisha didn't ask for the heritage of a good name, but for a double portion of the spirit that had been the strength of the older prophet.
 Tt is fine thing to inherit the be- quest of an honest father. But at best this is material, cold, mere letter of credit
 "You have followed masters, teach CTS, parents, know that what you want from them is not merely letter of credit, but the living, vital vivid thing that makes conquest more certain and virtue more simple"
 Your children will far outstrip you if they have half a chance pr. Ed monds said. The cultivation of the right spirit is the only way to keep abreast of the times. Often it takes a young man who thinks the world should tip over on the side he walks, quite a while to find anything in his father that might be of use to him. But even if your children from new schools of thought should not need your archaic Knowledge of science, your financial acumen, your organizing ability, when that time comes will they gather around you and say: I do not care about his money or the business he has built so much as l long to pos- cess his spirit
 How many others will that spirit hold winch compels men and women to come to us seeking what they haven't got?

LOCAL OUTLOOK OF
 HOTEL BUSINESS
President United Hotel Com pany Tells of Condition
 Throughout Country

Hotel conditions in the east, middle
 west and south. which were recently hit
 by the slack period, are regaining their
 president of the United Hotel company,
 which operates the Hotel Tutwiler of tnis
 city.
 MT. Dudley, who has been in Birming-
 ham on a tour of the company's chain, depressed satisfaction over the local out
 look, both in the hotel business and the
 industrial lines.
 "I have had a chance to observe very
 closely hotel conditions in general" Mir.
 Dudley said, "and there is no denying
 that we were taken back a little on the recent business depression, but the last
 twoS weeks show that we are gaining our stride, and we are hopeful that normal conditions will soon be destored. "The middle western states were es- pecially hard hit in the slump because they had been going at full force in all lines, and it seems no provision had been made for any depression whatever When the depression did come, there was nat
 urally more i'll effects than would have been the case had they taken precau- tions.
 1T think Birmingham has been especial ly fortunate in all lines, judging by what have seen in other quarters. There are less unemployed here than anywhere in place the size of this city, I ven ture, and this is encouraging and denotes the fact that the many industrial con cerns here are in operation. | Mr. Dudley said that he was pleased with the showing of the Tutwiler, and expressed his approval of the changes made in the lobby space. l He left yesterday in company with Mrs. Dudley and a party Of local friends on l a fishing trip through southern Ala bama.

CHRIST'S ESTIMATE OF
 A PREACHER-DR HENRY

.Christs Estimate of a Preacher" was the theme of a timely and force full sermon preached yesterday by pr. w. G. Henry, pastor of the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church.
 Taking as his text, If they hear not Moses and the prohpets. neither would they hear one, even though he were risen from the dead" Dr. Henry said in part:
 because of great crowds that preachers used to draw in the good old days that the preachers in those days were greater and stronger than those of to- day, but such was not the case, for there are today as strong preachers as them but that conditions and prob lems of the preachers of today are dif- ferent and are more complex than in other days. and because of this differ ence, therefore, it is harder to build up congregations and hold them than in the days when most of the, popula- ton was rural instead of urban as row.
 at that time there were not so many attractions and distractions to claim the attention of the people, the church was practically the only place they had to go, but now there are scores of entertainments and activities which get the attention of large per centage of the people,"
 Dr. Henry said that the church has done everything possible in the way of building fine churches, employing trained choirs and supporting iearnc9 and eloquent preachers and that this is well, but this alone will not save the people, The people must attend church not only to be entertained, but must come from principle; must come because they want to come to Gods house for the purpose of worship and to hear the gospel as proclaimed by the preacher called or assigned to the work of the Master.
 The pastor told of three riva churches which undertook to excel by

 Dr. J. R. Hobbs of the First Baptist church spoke on the importance of music to the individual and to the community. and was responsible for an unusually gratifying collection.
 As usual the audience sang with fine enthusiasm. The Ballet Petit Japonais' by Goublier, closed an excellent pro- gramme.

demanding of their church authorities real pulpit orators, and after trying out this plan and seeing that oratory and eloquence alone would not satisfy the spiritual nature of the people, they next asked for men of solid piety and who were close to God, as the primary consideration.
 Dr. Henry stressed the point that the preacher and the people should attend upon the services of the church be- cause the church is Gods institution and through the preaching of the gos- pei men must be saved from their sins, and if thus saved, they will be happy, for the spiritual man cannot be satisfied with mere entertainment found in human institutions and activi-
