 Nations Minister Says
 America at Turn Of Road
Applause Interrupts Dr. George Stuart in Sermon Yes terday-Scoffs at What Has Been Said About
 Him Relative to Dancing

Three times during the sermon of Dr. George R. Stuart. pastor of the First Methodist church, Sunday morn- ing, he was interrupted by prolonged applause on the part of the audience.
 The first time, when, prior to tho reading of the scripture lesson, he said, T will take time now to answer all that has been said about me dur Ing the past two weeks in the press and otherwise" As the audience ex- pectantly awaited the promised an- swer. Dr. Stuart whistled, as if in contempt. and declared. T answer wind with wind" As soon as the ap- plause had subsided, he added, DO not let your minds be turned by lit tie mice, l am after elephants and lions and am discussing great inter national problems"
 Dr. Stuart also declared at the out set that in the series of sermons on ''ls Our American Civilization Decay !ng?" he is not discussing local ques tions; that in his previous sermons he merely stated where his position was that he stands where Christians stand and that he also had merely quoted what the authorities of other churches had to say on the questions of public dancing and other moral questions; also that he had not att tempted to express any opinion for laboring men, but had simply read what their organ had to say on these questions. Incidentally, he also re- minded his hearers that he had paid tribute to the laboring men and had called attention to the fact that the great men of the future would come from their ranks.
 "Ye shall therefore keep all My laws and all My statutes. that the land to which I will bring Thee may not spew you out" was the text for the morning sermon.
 God saw how rotten the nations were in the land toward which Israel was headed. If you want to know how rotten they were. just read the 18th and 20th chapters of Leviticus. They regarded neither motherhood or widehood as sacred. and for that req son were doomed to destruction"
 pr. Stuart at this point reviewed the purpose of the Ten Command ments and their necessity for develop ing real character. and pointed out that only by obedience to law can men and nation attain their goal.
 T have studied the history of the nations of the past and have found the same fundamental facts Every nation that has come up so far has come up through certain laws, ana they have gone back by the game laws. They have gone upward by in dustry,i honesty, morality and virtue, and they have gone downward through riches, idleness. pleasure seeking and bestiality.
 Tn this country we are also at the turn of the road. Not so very many years ago. there were only five nh" lionaires in this country. Now we have thousands of them. Henry Ford

SHADES-CAHABA
 CITIZENS DISCUSS WHISKY SELLING
May Form Law and Order League-MaSS Meeting Is Addressed by So-
 IiCitor Tate

At citizens committee meeting of the Shades-Cahaba district, held in the Shades Cahaba High school yes terday afternoon, ways and means of stopping the alleged sale of liquor near the high school, gambling and other law violations which are said to take place In the vicinity of the school, were discussed.
 County Solicitor Joseph Tate dis cussed the petition from 150 citizens of the district which has been pre- sented to Sheriff J. c. Hartsfieid~ De De- titiontng the assigning of a deputy sheriff to the district to stop alleged law violations
 Affirming the stand taken by sher- if Hartsfield that there were no deputies available for such work, Mir Tate explained the local situation, stating the sheriffs hands were tied in the matter duo to lack of funds for any increased operations In the sheriff's office.
 William F. Franke took occasion to deny allegations made which effected the moral department of the Shades CahabR High school students and stated that protection from influences near the school was sought.
 Principal ]. M Ward denied the ex- puIsion of students on the charge of drinking liquor and said that while some suspensions had been made since the school opened in September. 1920. at no time was any girl expelled for alleged drinking.
 Oppose Parking
 EOfnA of tba fhiupa fO which ton was taken was the parking of automobile along the Montgomery highway and nearby roads at night, the presence of certain pernicious re- sorts and the habit of people using the Shades-Cahaba community for certain alleged depredations.
 Yesterdays meeting was the third meeting of the embryo law and order organization. and was attended by 30 residents. most of whom had been original signers to the petition to Sheriff Hartsfleld.
 It was stated that If protection could not be furnished by officers that citizens would seek to be depu- tized or have certain persons desig- mated to be deputized to take a hand in the matter.
 Special objection to alleged viola tions on Sunday afternoon was made, anu It WdH 6AAACu bg EtNtIdl SikHttS of tho following petition that the word Sunday" should have been used instead. of Saturday" as worded in the petition;
 "Whereas. the chief point of distri- button is believed to be located near the Shades-Cahaba High school, to the detriment of the entire student body; and.
 Whereas. tho woods adjacent to the high school have become the aaAA@-a4- samhlins Saturday afternoon, one of which was raided several weeks ago and several of the boys arrested.
 "We. the undersigned citizens of Shades Valley. hereby petition and earnestly pray that you, as sheriff of our county, assign deputy sheriff to our community, or take any other step or steps, as you deem necessary, to rid us of this evil, and we hereby pledge you our undivided moral and material aid and support in the sup pression of this lawlessness."

now has more money than all of the original millionaires together. I have nothing against Ford. In fact, hope he will get Muscle Shoals"
 At this point again applause inter rupted the sermon and pr. Stuart proceeded. T say this because I want to see men put to work. In all my ministry I have never spent such two months as the last two months trying to answer the many appeals of men for chance to make living"
 Dr. Stuart told of a visit he and his family paid to the Chicago World fair. and of some of the doubtful at fractions on the White Way.
 Says Much Immodest
 . There was a time after that when New York restaurant keeper was raided by the police for letting four French girls dance for only five min utes, and today Broadway is full of restaurants where girls dance pro- miscuously and all kind of orgies and disgraceful exhibitions are carried on. and there seems to not be enough public sentiment to call halt. There never was so much immodesty in the history of the United States as there is now, never such a breakdown of morals, followed by murders and sui cides. May God help us to put pub He sentiment behind modesty and make line so broad that everybody will recognize it."
 In constituting his sermon, pr. Stu art called the attention of the capac- ity audience to the fact that he was again merely quoting from records In touching on the East Lake dancing discussion. He called attention to the action taken by the old commits sion; also pointed out that the danc- ing pavilion Is still open to any reputable organization that wants to use it. and merely declared that as cltizens and taxpayers, Christians had right and ought to go on record as opposing all kind of lewd charac- CTS using a city park for public dances. He also called attention to the fact that the old commission had decided not to use the name Per . shing Pier' for this dance hall, but to call 1t merely utility building
 Applause interrupted him when he said with emphasis: we have named the center of our city with Its mon uments in honor of Woodrow Wilson, and we have named our great viaduct after the brave boys of the Rainbow division. Would you disgrace our city by honoring our brave general, who lead the forces of this Christian ma ton in the war to victory, in no bet ter way than to name dance nall after him? It is not Pershing Pier.
 Before concluding his sermon, pr. Stuart called attention to grea stack of resolutions lying on the pull pit which he said were from local colleges, girl schools, missionary so- cieties, seminaries and various edu' cational and religious organizations against permitting the use of Lake for promiscuous public dan'

 To Discuss Next War"

Will Irwin, whose newspaper work during the war won for him the title Ace of Correspondents. is to lec- ture here on the evening of Feb ruary 1. at the Jefferson theatre, on the subject: "The Next War"
 This theme Is uppermost now, es- pecially since the publication of MT. Irwins new book on the same theme "a volume which pr. Frank Crane declared to be the greatest book of the century in a recent article in the Chicago Daily News.
 Anyone who saw Will Irwin in France during the late war will tes- tify that the writer is far from a pacifist, and yet in his book and lecture, he points out the utter fu- tility of another war, and does it in such a logical and thorough manner that there is little room for doubt ing his statement
 We killed by retail In the last war for we killed only about 10.QO0.0O0 people. We'll kill by wholesale in the next war"
 Irwin believes that the world has enough intellectual and moral stam- ina to solve the problems of war, and he wants the world to do it be- fore the next-and final catastrophe oyertakes it. He believes in dsarm- ament particularly the disarmament of Great Britain. Japan and the United States, for if these lead. the others will follow, with proper pres- sureA of course.
