Birds That Dive.

Aquatic birds that are ordinarily
able to float high on the water can
also sink at will by expelling the air
that is inclosed within the film of
feathers surrounding their bodies, thus
making them heavier than water.
This mechanical trick on the part
Of diving birds is probably familiar
to all who have watched the king
fisher at close quarters and have noted
the sudden contraction In the birds
apparent size as 1t takes the plunge.
This is much more easily observed in
the case Of the startling, which some
times initiates the kingf1sher by plung-
Ing into the water. The shrinkage Of
the bird is very apparent when, after
lowering above the surface, it turns
downward oRiive.

BRIEF ACCOUNT OF
 SUNDAY Y SERMON

faithfulness and integrity. Job was put to the severest tests and yet maintained his integrity. His troubles were not from God, but from Satan and sinful men. He remained true to God and God, in the end, permitted him to triumph over reverses and troubles.
 Gideon, in the language of the text, asked the question, If Jehovah Is with us, then why has this calamity befallen us?' They were suffering because of sin against God-and vio- lation of His commandments. thus forfeiting His care and protection. They were suffering from t.eir own acts and not from calamities sent upon them from Jehovah. As soon as they repented and got in harmony with His laws, under the leadership of Gideon, the people were restored to favor with God and again were prosperous and happy. Whether they suffered or prospered was deter mined by their own acts and attitude towards Gods laws.
 "Why all this suffering in Russia :? Did God send it upon the people or is it a result of individuel and na- tional sins? Did God send 1t upon them or did they bring it upon them se1ves?"
 i pr. Henry spoke of many disasters that have befallen cities. directly traceable to natural causes and nat ural laws and yet many people be- lieve that the expression of God s wrath or punishment are sent upon the people because of sin and wick edness.
 "The wheat and the tares grow to- gether, the Nseparation will come ac- cording to the plan found in the scriptures" said the speaker. Tn human affairs one man prospers and another fails. Do not charge 1t up to God, look elsewhere for the cause. God would that every man do well and that all be saved and yet men will not have it so, and many, when calamity comes, charge it to Provi- dence.
 "The thing to do Is to be honest with God and men, and then If trouble come, be patient. for God will see to 1t that in the end, like Job, we will triumph over whatever comes that may operate against us. Seem- ing defeat often proves a blessing in disguise. We should meet our obliga- tions to God and man. A saved man will do this as far as possible. No man will love God and defraud his neighhor."

THINK GERMANY
 VICTOR IN WAR
Visit to Naval Bases Would Give German-A Americans
 Different View

Kiel, September 1.-Germsn-A Amer icans who frequent the Hobbies of hotels in Berlin can often be heard remarking that Germany has won the war.
 If they were to visit Kiel and other German naval bases they would probably get a decidedly different Impression. Nothing could be more complete than the desolation which hovers over Kiel harbor, formerly the pet war harbor of the German navy and probably the best haven in all Europe.
 The great shipyards which created most of the craft for the German navy are silent. Rusty sheds mark the scene of former activity. Idle, deserted docks stand as sad remind CTS of days when Kiel was the point to which all German eyes, and in fact ell the eyes of Europe were directed.
 All machinery (which the allied commissions regarded as useful for war purposes has been dismantled. Floating docks, cranes and other ex- rensive equipment have been moved away to recompenes Germany's enemies for the damage done by Ad- mirsl von Tirpitz's submarines.
 In normal times, Kiel had 50,000 naNal OlIlCeTSt SdllOTS anu ciipioy So in the harbor all the time. Now the naval personnel is less than 1000. The city which formerly had a popu- lation of 250,00O has lost all of it's great government payroll and one fifth of its population
 Fort Falkenstein and the other bat teries which covered the Baltic en- trance to the Kaiser William canal have been reduced to piles of crum- bled concrete and twisted steel. Their great guns have been sawed into it's and pitched into scrap heaps.
 The naval academy is closed. An empire without a navy has no use for moro naval officers. The attendance at the university has dwindled. The castle of Prince Henry, overlooking the naval haror, has been taken over by the working men for club, and there are no warships in the magnifi- cent waterway where the former Elm peror William used to review his navy with pomp.
 It was here that the flower of the German navy lay, safe behind tor pedo nets, during most of the war. At present there are only two antique cruisers lying at teh imperial naVai docks. These were so far ous or date that the English and French didn't think it was necessary to scrap them, and hesitated to offer such craft to any of the nations which had helped win the war.
 "a Small commercial shipyards are op- erating and the commercial harpor still has little business.
 The Kiel canal is still quite active. But Kiel derives little benefit from the business passing through the ca nal and cannot revive materially un- til exchange conditions become such that 1t can again buy timber from the Scandinavian countries and re- sume its importance as lumber de- pot for central Europe.

CH|LDREN'SA| AID DAY YDES|GNATED
Society Founded to Care for Dependent Children and
 Find Them Homes

The executive committee of the Alabama Chiidren's Aid society, at their recent meeting here, set Oc- tober 30, which is the fifth Sunday in that month, as "Children's Aid Day" All Sunday schools in the state will be asked to observe tue day and to take a special offering for the work.
 The society is interdenominati tional in character, and is supported entire ly by voluntary donations. Its off cers are: Crawford Johnson, Bir- mingham. president; Robert Jemison, Birmingham, Rev. M. $. Barnwell, Birmingham. Terry H. Greil. Mont gomery, J. J. Mitchell, Florence and Lloyd M Hooper, Selma, vice presi- dents; Lee c. Bradley, Birmingham. secretary; and J. R. Rice. Birming- ham. treasurer. Many of the lead ing church and social workers of the state appear on the board of directors of the society and others are connected with it in its work in the various counties.
 The society was founded in 1917 to care for homeless and dependent children and to place them in family homes. It has the indorsement of the state child welfare department and of all churches and welfare agencies. It is the only agency in the state that has been licensed under the child welfare law to do child placing in Alabama.
 The appeal, which will be ma1he during the week beginning October 30, will be for s30,000, the mini mum amount necessary to carry on the work for the coming year. It is hoped that this amount will be ex- ceeded, for the demands of the so- ciety are increasing and more field workers are needed. also more furGS for the estemporary care of children. '

DR. W. B. KICKS TALKS ON

 pr. W. B. Kicks. one of the sec retsries of the southern mission board, Sunday morning filled the pull pit of the First Methodist church ind in opening his sermon told, of the great work which the church had been able to do as a result of the great centenary movement launched two years ago,
 The centenary movement Is un- doubtedly the most timely and neces- safy movement ever inaugurated not only by the Methodist church, but by the entire Protestant church." said pr. Kicks. Tt has been a tre- mendous success, and wherever a church has outlined it's programme and properly carried on the work iI has started new day, broadened the vision and brought a new spirit which that church never had.
