Before a large and interested audi ence at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon. Benjamin H. Boyd of New York City. travelling representative of the International Bible Students asso- citation. lectured on the subject, Mil lions Who Are Now Alive Will Never Die
 The gist of his argument was based on the Scriptures, and many quotations were made from the Bible. MT. Boyd says that the end of the world is not yet to come, but that 1t Is here He points out that the end of the world is not meant in the sense of literal fire neither does it mean the end of the kosmc world, but the end of the era and the beginning of new one.
 Mr. Boyd referred to Daniel 12:1-4 where it is prophesied that the end of the world will come with much ..un- ming to and fro, great increase of knowledge and time of trouble. He stated that that time has already come He contended that the Bible, when it predicts the end of the world, does not state the end of time. but that it means the time of the end.

WHAT THEY THINK
By BILL HAYES

The question was; Do you think soda tax and such should be lifted?
 Where asked: Twentieth street be- tween First and Second avenues The answers were:
 Harry Price, linotype operator, Six teenth street, north: That tax should have been lifted long ago The war over and we've enough burdens"
 Louis Wyland, civil engineer, 1854 Thir- teenth avenue, south: Luxury tax ought to be lifted Prices have dropped on al- most every commodity. and there ism any reson for this tax to keep up'
 Anna Jamison. switchboard operator, Fifth avenue: They ought to take tax off soda pretty soon. We girls are stuck with that and lots of us make soda or sundeas our lunch at noon.''
 Fred w. Adler, Morris hotel: Tt won t be long now before they do take it off. It is pretty much of load on the people now."s
 L. c. Houston, farmer, near Birming- ham: That tax is doing what the old liquor tax did, and 1 don't think they'll ever raise it. If they do, I don't know what the treasury is going to ao make up the losses on liquor taxation"

SCHUMANN-HEINk
 IN RECITAL TONIGHT
 AT THE JEFFERSON

Unusual interest attaches to the recital Of Madame Schumann-Heink. which takes place tonight at the Jefferson the atre. It is deemed by all lovers of mu- sic a privilege to hear the most beloved and sympathetic contralto in the world today.
 Though the noted prima donna has not been here for long while, critics from other places where she has ap- peared say that she has in no wise al- tered in her appeal, either personally or artistically. It Is the same Schumann- Heink, they say, with the same compel lingly magnificent contralto voice.
 Madame Schumann-H Heink is en route from New York to series of rectals in the Orient. She is scheduled to sing in China, Japan and Judea during the lengthy Oriental tour She will only be in this city one day

was said that Birmingham had never heard anything like it.
 "Stlle Yacht Heilige Yacht" the song for which the contralto is known l to the remotest corners of the earth closed her first number. The organ blending the beautiful tones of the artist. filled the theatre with some thing which smacked faintly of the spirit of the yule. Eyes, tear-filled with a soulful emotion marked the au- dience. and ringing applause such as no artist could have conceived swept
 the assembly. Mrs. Sidney Yam. the local organ
 ist of the Bijou, then gave an organ solo, which was splendidly received
 Mrs. vann displayed ability. and tal- ent, and her work in accompanying Madame Schumann- Heink can be termed more than commendable. George Morgan, who was billed to
 aid in the recital, could not fulfill his
 part of the programme because of missing train connection to Bir- ming
 Deep River" (Burleigh), led the sec ond part of Madame Schumann- Heink s programme. The coloring given this
 number gave 1t a new atmosphere and
 brought out the subtle qualities of its real beauty.
 Carrie Jacobs Bonds Lullaby then followed. and to say that it was beau tiful does not do it justice. The singer , toned the great composers master
 piece to a degree of perfection only at
 tainable by a deep understanding of artist by artist, and the result was a
 rendition of the "Lullably'' such as
 may never be heard in local musical
 circles again.
 'Danza,r by Chadwick, and Lieur-
 ances Indian Love Song" were equal ly well received. the organ playing a vital part in these two selections. Ar
 ditis "Boiero" followed the applause
 The recital came to beautiful close with Angus Dei" by Bizet. Into this number the artist blended all the feeling that it seemed possible to possess, and long after the last note of her voice had died away the thun- derous applause of the pleased assem-
 bly cried for more of that beauteous expression of muses.
 Miss Catherine Hoffman, at the piano, assisted Mrs. Yam and Madame Schumann- -Heink.
 The recital, financially was a tremen'
 dous success. The official figures giver
 out last night showed s4,020.5o realized from the performance which was at
 tended by nearly 2,00o people. The con-
 tralto donated her services to the cause
 of the starving tots of Europe and ex-
 pressed regret that he was not able to
 do much more She will appear at the Jefferson tonight.

A spiritual import was given the re- cital by the introductory talk of Dr Middleton S. Barnwell pastor of the Church of the Advent.
 The great contralto was at her best. Her rendition of the various numbers and her little pointed talks to her audience thrilled the hearts of the people.
 When she came upon the stage a great basket of roses was presented to her by admirers. She stood beside the offering and her lips moved to tremoring speech.
 "Oh, these roses.- she said,
 @these beautiful roses. What
 wonderful spirit is that great
 American spirit of giving! But I
 cannot accept them. I am only
 here to give my little hit, and not
 to receive such beautiful gifts as
 these."
 The contralto desired to auction the gift away but it was insisted that she keep the flowers, as they were a tok en of the admiration and esteem of her patrons in recognition of the beauti- ful work she was doing for the starv- ing children of the old continent.
 God will bless everyone of you who came to this theatre this afternoon to help these starving children" the singer said in voice filled with emo tion. This thing we are doing, this helping those poor, helpless little ones, is the grandest, most noble duty that we as Americans could perform
 Madame Schumanp-Heink re-
 quested the audience to join in
 with her as she sang "1hc Star
 SpanEled Banner.o and the effect
 was worthy of note. The voices of
 the crowd echoed the national an-
 them until it seemed that the
 walls of the building could not re-
 thin the gladsOme sound.
 The organ, first soft and low, grad iually broke into the vivid prolouge colorings of the recitative and aria from "St. Paul. by Mendelsohn and Bartholdy. Then the voice of the great contralto tremored upon the hushed atmosphere until it seemed that thc auditorium itself was far removed from the turmoil of life.
 That was the beginning. From that moment on the audience was held spell bound Ethelbert Nevin's "Ro- sary" followed, and when the last faint note of the rendition died away into the stiffness, the applause broke over the crowd as thunder.
 Following this came the "Niegen- possessed the tremor and thrill that only the voice of Madame Schumann- Heink could give it, and afterwards it
