SPIRITUAL LAW
 ENFORCEMENT IS
 THEME OF PASTOR

The determination to see law en- forcement in Birmingham furnished the occasion for pr. John A. Mac Sporran's sermon at the First Pres- byterian church yesterday morning on Spiritual Law Enforcement" pr. MaeSporran said Tn part:
 We worship fetishes of our own contrivance. Despite their steady fall- ures, we expect them to work magic. For example, we believe in the un- limited and infallible power of leg
 slation. We pass laws regulating everything. There are, l understand. 100 times more laws in the United States than in any other civilized nation in the world Making laws IS our national patent medicine; our sovereign Peruna' We are always demanding laws. And the inference is that with such a passion for legal control there would be a correspond ing reverence for law. But the very opposite Is true. It is doubtful If any other civilized country in the world has so much anarchy. so much unpunished crime, such Contempt for courts, so general a disposition 70 fiout and evade the law. In our own city emergency measures are being taken to meet the crime situation. We are in a near panic because at last the seriousness of the situation has been realized.
 What are we to do? Pass more laws? Law enforcement Is all right, but where are you going to get the force? Not in a democracy. People have freedom, rights, have been taught to think. You cannot control such by force in democracy. De- mocracy based on fear and force falls. Increase the police force and you mitigate the worst evils but you have not touched the real heart of the matter. It was proven 2.000 years ago 'on green hill outside city wall that salvation by law is impos- sible. That method is out of date. All the power of Rome could not crush that little handful of people who saw a new light and believed In a new way. They marked the final passing of the rule of force.
 .gfhe question is. Have we any real power available to enforce the most elemental laws of life and liberty? There is, and it is a spiritual law. The church of Christ is founded on the faith that men and all sorts of men are salvable. capable of being made over new, of receiving a spirit that will make them loyal servants of the Ideal"

Men of Vision Need Of Age and Nation,
 pr. Stuart Declares

Declaring the need of this age and nation to be men with great vision, who will carry this vision to God. carry 1t out, and save the world from disaster, Dr. George R. Stuart. pastor of the First Methodist church, in his Sunday morning sermon pointed to the story of Nehemiah as an inspira- ytion for men to do great things for God and humanity.
 Pointing out the various stages of great mems lives and presenting them as an inspiration, Dr. Stuart said: T am sorry for the man or woman who never came in contact with great men, think on great things. and try to hold some great ideal before them.
 From Nehemiah to Christ, or period of 400 years. the Bible Is silent, but we have the wonderful history from Moses to Nehemiah, cov- ering a period of 1000 years, and teii- ing the wonderful story of people and its leaders. Nehemiah served Tn the household of the great king Of Persia, who had conquered practical ly the whole known world, had cap tured Palestine and it's people, ana this Nehemiah had become his cup bearer, a confidential position, and enc of high honor. To this Nehemiah came his brother and a small com pany of men and. told him, Tie graves of your fathers are in ruins. the gates of the city are broken down and the walls of the city are destroyed And this Nehemiah, sec ing a vision and taking it to God. bid farewell to the luxury of the Persian kings palace and gardens and entered the work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem and the tenn pie, so that on> his shoulders rests the credit and .:Ts responsibility for all that followed a the hundreds Of years which followed, even the set ting of the scene for the activities of Christ.
 "This man had vision. He took the vision to God. He carried it out" |"
 pr. Stuart also pictured the life of Columbus and of George Washington as that of men who had vision. took the vision to God and carried it out, and also referred to Abraham Lin coins trip down the Mississippi, where he saw how the negroes were abused, and then determined that If ever the opportunity presented It. self he would put an end to this.

sengers are carried on each trip. The average number of stops is 13,000.
 Mondays and days following all holidays are usually the heaviest days of the week, with the rest of the days averaging about the same num- Der of passengers hauled. In care- full perusal of the figures it was found that equally as many passen- gers are hauled in the summer months as during the winter months.
 As each person steps into one of the elevators the man in charge oper- ates a register on his right which keeps a total check on each person entering the elevator. These figures are compiled daily. Every trip and stop Of each elevator Is automatically registered on l meter which is placed above each dynamo in the penthouse. An electric light switchboard In the managers office tells the exact loca- ton of each elevator at all times, ssnd the operator can be signalled from
