Israel, Gods chosen and most IA
yored nation, the nation to whom He
came nearest and gave most in order
that It might pass on His goodness to
the other nations Of the world, was
given most strategic position in the
earth. Palestine was adapted as no
other country for Gods great purpose
OF preparing pure religion and send
ing it to all the world. To this end
single nation was selected, trained
and placed In the center of the world,
so that when the time came to publish
the true religion all lands could be
reached. Palestine was central and
isolated, vet accessible, for when the
time came for the apostles to 20 from
Palestine by the Mediterranean sea to
the lands round about it, and from
there to other lands, their way was
OPEN"
1. Their Leader tJosh. ~. Joshua
was Moses assistant He led the IS
raelites to victory over the Amalekites
soon after their escape from Egypt.
He was with Moses In the Mount when
the law was given. He was one of the
spies sent into the land of Canaan
When Moses knew that his time of de-
parture was nigh he appointed Joshua
his successor.
2. Condition of the Possession of the
Land ". 3D. The land was theirs by
Gods promise, but it became theirs
only as their feet advanced to take
possession of it. Because Of their lack
OF faith, courage and obedience they
never enjoyed the full possession of
it. Christians today lack the riches
Of the Heavenly Fathers blessings be-
cause Of their want Of faith and cour-
age.
g. Its Boundaries ". Az. On the
north it was bounded by the rugged
mountains Of Lebanon; on the east
by the Euphrates river; on the south
by the great and terrible desert, a
barren region through which the chill
dren Of Israel had wandered for forty
years; and on the west by the Medi-
terraneaD sea. 1t included all OF
MesopOtamia. Israel's lack Of faith
prevented them from possessing fully
this land.

WOME N FACTOR |N| .SKYsCRAP PER PLAN
Managers Find Project Must Have Good Will Of Women
 To Be Successful

CHICAGO, Dec. 17-(By Associated Press. )-The increasing influence of women in public and political affairs has become a factor in the planning of skyscrapers. report of the building planning service of the Ma tional Association of Building Own CTS and Managers discloses that women must be accorded as much consideration as that given the sink ing of caissons.
 Building managers have found, ac- cording to the report, that if the pro- ject is to be successful it must have the good will of women, who may be either employees or visitors. This consideration is reflected chiefly in planning for adequate and attractive rest rooms which, the report says, no longer can be classed as luXuries in office buildings.
 The report covers variety of human frailties," including the hab- it's of messenger boys penciling cor riders and jumping down the stairs. The pencil habit has given rise to the term pencil line" for the height of marble wainscotting in corridors, which is raised to such level that the penciling may be easily cleaned from the walls. Landing places at the turn of stairs, the managers re- port, have become landing places in fact for messenger boys, whose duties have compelled the installation of specially constructed slabs to withstand the impact of their jumps.
 Awning fires are being prevented through the dipping of the fabric in a fireproofing substance, another item shows, while theft of brass fire hose nozzles has been stopped through the use of cast iron nozzles.

HOLIDAY PARTY BROCK
By FLORENCE CLARK

Now is the time of year when those of us with big ideas and small purses have to do a lot of planning. We figure on the backs of envelopes or wave our index fingers in the air making queer little sums in addition and subtraction-so much for this and so much for that. And, in spite of doubts in our minds or figures that are, supposed to be so fearfully truthful, it always turns out to be the .ost wonderful Christmas ever.
 Among the other items that have to be considered, there is the young daughters party dress. AS she will tell you herself. this is Terribly" inn portant. Enthusiastic as she may be about plans that have to do with other details of the Christmas pro- gram, this questionsis sure to occupy a big part of her thoughts. For her it is a delightful topic of conversa- tion.
 The shops are gay with adorable little frocks for the holiday dance. Fluffy lace taffeta and georgette terials from which these pretty dresses are fashioned. As to style, the bouffant type seems to be most popular of all. A buyer at one of the big shops declares that the young girl will ahave no other silhouette. And since it is exceedingly becoming to her slim. girlish figure, there is nothing to complain of in her choice. The puffy, billowy frock will be smart for some time to come.
 But as mothers know, the question of the dance frocS isn't always solved by simply having a. selection of made-up dresses from which to choose. The array of lovely things Is bit bewildcrinG at times. And

 Teams working for the $1oo,0oo new Sunday school building of the Highlands Methodist church will wind up their drive at o'clock Tuesday night in the basement of the church.
 It is not known Monday how much the different teams have gathered, but their success seems assured, 1t is stated.
 Jay Smith, general chairman of the campaign, spoke quite confi- dently of the work, although he would venture no exact information at this time. All teams have been bitterly engaged in this friendly ri valry and at an early date their re- suits will be made known.
 "The work is going on splendidly," time to tell how much money we have pledged, but it is certain that the S10o,0OO will be raised at this meeting. We will clean up"
 In anticipat tion of success the women of thes church are giving jubilee meeting Tuesday evening in the church. There will be no admls- sion charge and good dinner awaits the members of the church.
 The women's team under the cap- tainship of Mrs. W. D. Smith is beat ing the men, according to MT. Smith. Flint-hearted is the man or woman who escapes them.
 Jay Smith is the general chairman of the campaign, His assistants are M. P. Northington and M. Paul Phil lips Thomas Benners Is at the head. of the central campaign committee.
 There is no lack of assurance, the workers say, that the Highlands Methodists will have its $10o,0o0 Sun day school building.

MUSIC LOVERS AWAIT WEDNESDAY CONCRETE
Birmingham Soprano And We'll Known Harpist In Joint Recital

Angelo Cortese, internationally known harpist, and Mrs. Elizabeth Jordan Brewer, coloratura soprano of Birmingham, are expected to be greeted by a capacity house when they appear in concert at s:15 o'clock Wednesday night at the Phillips High school auditorium, according to prediction Monday by members of the American Legion, under whose aus pices they are to appear.
 Birmingham music lovers arc showing a decided interest in the concert, according to Hedley Jordan. tickets, not only because of the en- viable record of MT. Cortese, but be- cause of BirminG nam's interest in Mrs. Brewer, one of her own artists.
 One critic writing of MT. Cortese says, He makes of the harp piano, a flute, a clarinet, as dominant in- struments with. fullf orchestral ef- fleets. He makes it resound as trufnpets and then again it is as tender as violin"
 Mrs. Brewers voice has been heard in Birmingham before on several. oc- casions and has been the source of many favorable comments.
 Members of Birmingham Post Mon day were congratulating Arthur Greenwood upon his reelection as post commander at a lively meeting of the chapter last week. Other of ficers elected were: Harry E. Smith, first vice commander; R. H. Bethea, second vice commander; Aubrey c. Cooper, finance officer; oscar De- Wolf Randolph, chaplain Mrs. George Lewis BaiIes, historian; James B. Strickland, sergeant-at- arms; R. F. Walthour, adiutant.

 In Years
ENSLEY BUREAUl THE AGE-uERALD ! EnsleY. Ala. Dec. II


 The Ensley post office received au- thority from Washington Monday to en. ploy three additional carriers which Is expected to materially as sist in extricating the office from the mountain of mail during Christ mas. With obvious qualifications Postmaster R. s. Hickman announced that the long expected authority had been received that would save the local situation. It appears that four carriers were asked for but the de- partment only allowed three, one of whom will be assigned to the parcel post delivery service and the other two to the regular letter service. This additional help, coming just as the holiday rush is beginning to show up in a large volume, caused the deepest satisfaction at the post of flee Monday and was the occasion for wide spread qualification in business circles.
 During the past week during which nosword could be secured from Wash ington, after repeated efforts, then thought was entertained that either the department had declined to act in the matter or had other plans under way for this office.
 MT. Hickman said Monday that the holiday business as 1t is developing would unquestionably double that of 1922. Mir. Hickman said the clerical organization is in good shape now to take care of the increase and with other carriers, nearly two complete deliveries per day would be secured. He announced that the office would be closed at noon Christmas day and that instructions from Washington were that all employees be given the opportunity of having Christmas din ner with their families. It was stated that all mail undelivered at noon Tuesday would not be handled until the following day. This it the first time in the history of the de- partment that such an order has been iSsped

Post office receipts at Bessemer have already gone considerably ahead of those of last year, thereby gaining a first-class classification for this office Total receipts for the year ending December q are expected to reach $5O,OOo. which will be $5,000 more than any previous year.
 The Bessemer office has been in need of larger force and more space, according to officials here and the fact that the office has now en- tered the first-class division is eX- pected to materially increase the al lowances made by the department. The Christmas business this year is already considerably above that of any previous year.
