FIX ENVIRONMENT ON RELIGIOUS BASIS
 URGED BY PASTOR

Warning against the danger Of raising family in a wrong environ ment and of endangerin.g the home by considering the social aspect and money rather than religion and the altar of God in fixing the environ ment, Dr. George R. Stuart, pastor of the First Methodist church Sun day morning preached sermon from the text found in Genesis xiii:12: Lot dwelleth in the cities of the plains and pitched his tent towards Sodom."
 "lt is wonderfully significant thing to say that Lot pitched his tent toward Sodom." said Dr. Stuart in part. The history of many na- tions is wrapped up in that sentence and the destiny of millions was thus fixed. Abraham, uncle of Lot, had grown rich in Egypt, but the time came when Abraham returned to Canaan and erected an altar to God. But there is no record that Lot came to any altar. And when the herds men of Abraham and Lot began to quarrel Abraham proposed that Lot choose any land rather than quarrel, and Lot chose the cities of the plains, the largest of which was Sodom. Even after being captured by enc mics and rescued by Abraham, he again returned to Sodom with his family and remained there until Sodom got so rotten that 1t was wiped out.
 Either by electricity or some other way that whole valley of Bitumen caught on fire, and all the length of 75 miles and more than 50 miles wide was destroyed and in its place was left a hole so deep that the bot tom has never been found and today there is in it's place the Dead sea, without ship crossing it, and with out living thing in it.
 "On one hand was the way of Abra- ham with family altar, and on the other the way of what seemed pros perity, luxury and ultimate destruc- tion. And Lot chose the latter. wha, made Lot decide? The fertility of the land, the rich cities. the good time his family could have. Whenever you decide such a question on the basis of. money alone, you and your family are headed for destruction. repeat-when any family chooses the pathway on the basis of the dollar they are headed to ruin.
 When a family moves around on a social basis instead of religion you may look for a crash. Lots dauEh- ters married mon of Sodom. Whom did Abraham's sons marry? His parents took an old servant who had been with them for many years and sent him to the land of their peo- pie. And he selected wife of the same people, the same religion and the same customs and Isaac married a girl. thus selected and approved by his father and mother.
 History is the same through all the ages. Environment makes des- tiny. You cannot put young people in certain environment without with certain folks without getting certain ideas fixed in your head. Of all the pitiful folks those who run part of the time with the church and part of the time with the world are to be pitied. If you are bound to go with the world. go to the end of the road until you blow your brains out and end 1t all."

 Mrs. Spangler is a very wonderful woman. If you knew her, you'd ad- init that first of all. She is consid- crate to everybody: is one of the best club workers in the city. and never refuses to do any thoughtful service when called upon. The way she man ages is this-whieh is a mighty good rule for anybody:
 Life Principles
 "I never say I can't do anything. l just try. treat everybody right, and just exactly like I would have them treat me I speak plainly the way l feel about things-for I think this is also right. There is another thing, too, I always say; Dear, kind fate, never let me be namby. pambY."
 While Mrs Spangler was busy en- rolling members one exhibit day (she found this out afterwards), man, who was a very good friend of her self and her husband, slipped around to a woman friends who had just en- tered the show:
 See that woman over there?" he asked her. pointing out Mrs. Spang- Ter. III you can get Dy ner, even III all this crush. without her soliciting your membership. l will give you s5'
 Got Her Anyway
 Mrs. Spangler tells the balance of the story:

 "Of course she was just as amused as I was over the outcome But the best part of the result was she plank ed down her s1 to help support the league which in my estimation IS one of the finest institutions in the United States of territories

16CENTURY BOOK X IS WORK OF ART

Prof. Edward Goodrich. head of the department of history at Birmi n gham Southern college, has in his possession what Is probably the oldest book in Alabama and one of the oldest in the United States. The book was pub lished in Italy in 1914, and Is entitled, "Transiations of Greek Into Latin"
 The book is well preserved, showing the worth of the writing materials at that time. It Is hand made, which can be told by the varying sizes and : shapes oe> the ielte4-s. It has moro lsthan 1000 pages.
 The first part of the book Is devoted to tragedy. the second part deals wholly with comedy. The book was probably the first complete transla- ton of Greek into Latin, and over 30 of the leading Latin scholars of the sixteenth century were engaged in producing the work. The book in it's binding and print is really a work of art.
 Capt. c. Tarverna of Marion insti- ute brought the book to the United States from Italy. and it was through him that 1t came into the possession of Professor Goodrich.

like the old man of the sea, which will continue to hamper your efforts

like the old man of the sea, which will continue to hamper your efforts and prevent your success. We may be selfish, but we believe that the acceptance of Henry Ford's offer would bring millions of capital to the south. that industries would spring up as If by magic, that there would be an enormous influx of popula- tion, that the magic city of which you speak in such sneering terms would spring up along the banks of the Tennessee and that MT. Ford would carry into full effect the greatest program of industrial de- velopment ever proposed or under taken in the United States.
 Believing all this, the people of Alabama had rather give Muscle Shoals to Ford on his own terms than sell 1t to your corporation for the most munificent price.
 "Let me say in conclusion you woe fully mistake my character if you think you can lessen my support of Ford by personal attacks or by the use of any weapons forged in the foul arsenal of slHnder and misrep- resentation, or prevent me from raising Nmy voice In exposing and denouncing wrongdoing from what ever source il may come.
