 fair. Much commendation was eX- tended the Glee club everywhere and especial praise mas been gwen Nne variety of the program. All of the numbers are fresh and lively and the 1e21-22 team sings with enthusiasm and an ample supply of excellent voice. The volume of the choruses is exceptional and the spirited manner of the singing is most attractive.
 Several of these former Glee club stars are important and substantial Birmingham citizens, which puts to rest the old idea that & musical man is not & success Tn business. Of the 15 business managers the club has had, six have come from Birming- ham. They are Jelksi H.

 AFTER GAMING OF BANKS

Memphis, April 23.-Many pianta- tions back of Reelfoot levee, south 'f Hickman, Ky. are deserted tonight following additional caving of the river bank outside the levee, at a point about 100 feet north of the first 'eave-in last week. The levee is still intact, but the sloughing off of the bank, throwing the current against the levee, caused many to move. taking their live stock and household goods with them At all other threatened points north CT vicksburg, engineers report the situ- ation well in hand
 Practically the entire population of Hickman and surrounding terri tory worked all day on the levee, which protects 7S,000 acres of rich farming land. A call had been issued for workers to strengthen the point W here caving occurred last week. but the appearance of sloughing at the new point caused all efforts to be concentrated in that sector The United States engineers office here tonight sent engineers, 1aborers and a quarter boat to the threatened dis trict and a carload of sand bags will be on the ground in the morning. An entirely new levee is being built back of the caving area and work on it will be continued until it is declared safe by the engineers.

brotherhood, brotherhood for the Chinese, Japanese, Germans, the suf- fering little children of the near east and all humanity.
 Do you know what Christ's phi- losophy is doing? It Is tugging at rational animosities; it Is tugging at class prejudice it is tugging and beginning to. tear down race preiu- dice The day Is coming when this philosophy of Christ will tear down all of these prejudices and hatreds, and when swords will be turned into plowshares. The day Is coming when all nations and peoples will unite and fight their common enc mics, which are sin, disease, ignor- ance and involuntary poverty. in- steady of fighting each other.'
 An earnest plea in behalf of a strong combine of the auadruple all lies, the home. church, school and state. against the common enemies named, and illustrations of the effect of Christ's philosophy on the status of the child of women and liberty of men, closed the sermon.

BE HUMAN, TODAY'S
 CRY, SAYS PASTOR
Greatest Commandment Is to Emphasize Human
 Side of Life

Serving Refreshments" was pr. John A. MacSporran's subject yester- day morning at the First Presby- terian church. He said in his intro duction: "The average man cannot become interested in distractions. He needs the garb of a pleasing per- sonality about them Christ always painted pictures and told stories 10 convey His truths. We need more of that today, and less of the language of the study.
 There. is 8 human side to every question, and that is the important side. Not platitudes, but striking, colorful illustration are necessary to get over any idea. Today's great commandment is Be humanr We see now that the great evils of our in dustrialism can best be cured by a new spirit. When we emphasize the human side we solve these problems Tolstoi says there are no circum- stances wherein you can deal with human beings without love. There s the secret of Jesus Christ
 How can we do that, overcome the evils of our grim industrialism, bring about the fraternalism of Christ? A doctrine won't do. It has failed. Here is an illustration of love in action that serves far better, A man of long ago, no bigger and bet ter than you did this thing,
 "The Apostle Paul you think. of as a spiritual Titan, god intoxi- cated, mystic and superman. And rightly. still the picture is cold, un- interesting. But here is the human, dependent. sensitive. affectionate man beneath. Tell him shortly be- fore his death-old, broken. a pris- oner in the death cell. His influence has waned. the procession has gone on. His faith has remained And in his memory march the multitudes that he once knew and led
 Then, an old friend comes to the jail to see him. who has never for gotten. How Paul warns to this, writes of it to Timothy The old friend who oft refreshed me. wao was not ashamed of my chains
 "Pauls gratitude was great that the old friend sought him diligently untll all ulttlculteS were oVercome c and he found the apostle. How few Of us will dc this, Tn our cities we SD easily forget our old friends-es- pecially if rumor has reached us tha. they are in some trouble.' But the Christian is a seeker, a hound of heaven when he hears that an old friend is in difficulties

CHRIST IN WORLD,
 STUART'S SUBJECT
Pastor Takes Text From Mat thew, Dealing With Christ'S
 Command

| Showing the influence Of Christ in i the world, and predicting that it will
 continue to grow until all hatred, prejudice and strife among nations will disappear along with the com mon enemies of mankind, pr. George
 R. stuart, pastor of the First Metho- Idist church Sunday morning preached
 a strong sermon on the subject, | Christ in the World"
 The sermon was based on the text ! found in the last chapter of the gospel of Matthew, verses 19 and 20: | "Go ye therefore and teach all ma
 tions, baptizing them in the maine I of the Father and the Son and the | Holy Ghost, teaching them to ob- i serve all things I have commanded you, and To. l am with you a1way,
 even unto the end of the world" After referring to the story of Eas- ] ter and what the resurrection meant | to the cause of Christianity. followed by this admonition in view of the
 open grave, pr. Stuart reviewed the
 various stages of Chrsts life until ! His ascension. and followed this with a review of what has happened Tn
 the 1900 years since"
 Every nation has beard the gos- pei" said Dr. Stuart "The three
 great leading denominations In the
 last few years in this country alone
 have raised more money for spread | ing the gospel than was ever be- l lieved possible in the history of the church, and the time is not far dis
 tant when the word of God shall
 cover the earth like the waters cover 1 the sea.
 But what about the effect of 1 Christs philosophy on this earth?
 What is the theory and philosophy ! of Darwin? It is that only the fitte<t
 shall live and that the weak and af- | flicted must so. What is the phi losophy of Almathus? It is that cf
 the forest that overcrowdng must ! be relieved by plague and disease
 and storms in order that those re-
 maining may thrive the better. What is the philosophy of Christ? That suffering and affliction are but opportunities for service to human ! itv. Darwnism teaches that the blind shall he trampled down by | those who can see. that the sick shall 1 be allowed to perish to make more room for tho healthy. But christs philosophy Is for those who can see ; 10 help the blind. for those who are
 well to aid in making the sick we'll | for those who are strong to lend of
 their Strength 10 the weak
 "The one philosophy culminates In ! imperialism, the crushing out of the
 weaker the principle of might against right. while the other leads | to greater and nobler service. In
 teaching sympathy towards those
 who are afflicted, in lifting the fal-
 len. and in teaching the principles ! of real humanity and brotherhood. christs philosophy is humanity

 The main complaint was regarding sold too wet to be worked or the effects of overflows; some section claimed that temperatures were too low and that farmers were afraid to go ahead with their planting because they did not want to risk their seed which, for planting purposes, is scarce and high this season. The market got steady support from crops news the week through.
 One of the strongest periods of the week developed toward the end fol- lowing messages from Fall River estimating sales or print cloth in that market at 25O,0 pieces for the week and claiming that mills could have sold at least 100000 pieces more had they been willing to promise deliveries before July. On top of this were rumors from Liverpool anl Manchester that the Lancashire mill owners have come to an agreement on wages with their operatives that would be in effect for 12 months.
