"Have You Sold 0ut?" Subject of Sermon
 ByDr. George Stuarl

Have you sold out" was the sub ject of sermon Dr. George R. Stuart. pastor of the First Methodist church. preached to a capacity audience yes- terday morning. He used as his text Matthew, chapter 13, verses <4 and 46. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field; which a man found and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field. Again the kingdom of heaven Is like unto a man that Is merchant seeking goodly pearls; and having found one pearl of great price he went and sold all that he had and bought it."
 Jesus used this parable. couched In simple language, to teach the peo- pie the all important lesson that eternal life is the thing which ia of supreme value to man." said Dr.. Stuart, "and this man spoken of in the parable found e treasure hidden in a field, and so anxious was he to get possession of this treasure that he sold all that he had and bought the field. Likewise the man who found the pearl was willing to give all he had in order to have the pearl In his possession. The treasure hid in the field and the pearl of great price represent the Kingdom of heaven. which a man should strive to possess whatever be the cost"
 Dr. Stuart made mention of very interesting fact concerning the growth of pearls. He told how the hod ftr iolx, i~<h t,e d, of mussel shell, and that each pearl represented a wound which had been inflicted upon the molusk or mussel by an enemy. The remedy which the molusk applies to the wound pro- duces the pearl. Now" said Dr. Stuart. "in order for a person to get that pearl, the molusk inside the shell where the pearl grows must die. How appropriate this illustration ap- plies to Christ. He came to give eternal life to man. In order to do this He must give His own life This He did. and willingly. and as a re- life, can be ours. But, there Is a price we have to pay for this eternal life, viz: all that we have"
 At this point pr. Stuart asked the question if there were those In his audience who were willing to sell all that they had and purchase this eternal life. He called attention to Wesley, who sought diligently for years for this pearl of great price," being willing to give all that he had if he might have it. He closed his sermon by showing how Jesus gave all that He had, His life, that we might have eternal life, and that we should be willing to give up the world in order to possess 1t.
 Before preaching Dr. Stuart con- ducted the installation service of all the officers and teachers of the Sun day school; 1os teachers and officers were installed

PASTOR M'LENNAN, ADVENTIST, TALKS ON
 SIN AND ITS REMEDY

A large and appreciative audience listened to Pastor W. P. McLennan at the Adventist church when he spoke cn the subject. "sin and It's Remedy" He said in part: "In John iii:4 we read: Sin is the transgression of law These seven words (and in the Bible seven de- and pungent definition of sin.
 "As the oak is contained in the acorn, so may eternity with its mighty possibilities be embedded in some word If divine instruction given us by God. Such Is the law of tho Ten Commandments. We may extend the bounds of civilization to the ends of the earth, but we can never out run the unfolding light of that law written by the finger of God. Law, in its truest sense. is a declaration tf rights and of the pen alties consequent upon violation of those rights. The first four were writ ten upon one table of stone, declaring the rights of God. The last six were written upon another table. revealing the rights of man. Those rights of God and man did not pass away with the coming of Jesus. for they are eternal in character.
 "The spiritual value of these ten great commandments whom wrought out by divine grace in the life-experi- ence. may be thus briefly summarized as positive preeepts:
 "1. Worship God exclusively. 2. Worship Him spiritually. 8. Rever- ence His holy day. 4. Reverence Him in your words. 5. Reverence Him in every form of sacred authority. 6. Be kind. '. Be pure. 8. Be honest. 9. Be truthful. 10. Be content.
 John has told us what sin Is. and in Romans we are told that all have sinned.' and that the wages of sin is death.' The question to which we will address ourselves tonight Is: How can the sinner be clearedT It must appear to all that we cannot possibly be cleared unless enc of the following things takes place:
 First. the law be suffered to be trampled upoT with impunity. Then all right. All safeguards would be trampled down and the objects of government entirely defeated.
 Second. the law be abolished or changed. This would be an acknowl- edgment of weakness or error on the part Of the government, rather than evidence of wrong on the part of the transgressor.
 Third. the governor pardon. This is prerogative that may, under proper restrictions and conditions. be safely exercised. Therefore. we must accept this as the only alternative. as the only means whereby the sin ner may escape from the punishment of his sins.
 How then can pardon be granted. and strict justice be administered by voluntary substitution? All the oh- Jects of government-justice, mercy. truth and love-meet in this arrange ment. God remains Just and becomes the Justifier

b|G DEMAND FOR
 UNSK|LLED HELP
Municipal Employment Bu- reau Has Many AppIlca-
 tionS For Help

Unemployment in Birmingham is eral weeks ago. according to George Schweikert manager Of the munici- pal employment bureau. The num- Der of orders for help filed at the employment bureau exceeds the ap- plications for positions. according to MT. Schweikert.
 'Unskilled labor and domestic help are particularly in demand" said the employment manager. We could place 200 laborers this morning. Sat- urday we had call for 50 expert miners, but did not have the men to offer. We have no laborers at all on Q waiting list. As fast as they registed with us, we place them in employment
 First t-olass domestic help Is hard to find In addition to tho demand here in Birmingham for that sort of help, we have inquiries from other states, and particularly from the north. Northern people, especially those who once lived in the south, want colored house help in prefer ence to white servants.
 There Ia one position that we are having a hard time trying to fill. and that is for a young single man as stenographer. A firm here wants q beginner, who will work himself up, to start on $120 month. We have many applications from young women and from older men, but not a single one that will meet this need.
 The situation with reference to skilled labor and clerical work has been rather quiet for some weeks. These are two lines in which we can supply the demand for help fairly satisfactorily"
 Mir. Schweikert's report for the week ending October 14 Is as follows:
 Number of applicants to register. 16s; orders. 421; placements. 227. Laborers, 131; skilled, 47; domestic. 40. clerical g.

CHIEF FRED M'DUFF
 STARTS NEW PLAN OF IDENT|F F|CAT|ON
Prisoners Charged With Felo- niouS 0ffenSes to Be Scru- tinized by Detective
 Department

In order that, the representatives of the law may keep abreast with the modern methods of the criminal. Chief of Police Fred H. McDuff has inaugurated a new plan for the city detective department, which, he con- tends, will greatly aid in the identi- fication of criminals coming under the surveillance of officers.
 This plan is to have each prisoner arrested by either the police or de- teetivs departments. charged with a felonious offense. brought before the entire assembly of detectives at noon. where the prisoners will be carefully scanned and every possible mark of Identification noted by the city sleuths.
 The prisoners win be brought be- fore the detectives in the office of W. L. Brannon, superintendent of the bureau of Identification, and which will in the future be known as the show room." Brannon will read to the detectives the offenses charged against those arraigned, and give their police records.
 Chief McDuff pointed out that | through this plan, the detectives will be able to study at close range the form and facial features of the criminals of the city. which he claims will greatly aid them In their identi- fication work. He stated that in the early future he intends having the detectives wear masks at each of the "prisoner shows" which will conceal the identity of the officers, and at the same time enable the officers to get a good look at the prisoners. This system will be put in effect within
 the next two weeks, Chief McDuff | said.
 Assistant Chief Thomas Christian i is highly pleased with the new plan, | saying that 1t had been successfully 1 used in several of the northern cities i for several years, and predicted a 1 like future for the venture in Bir-
