ASSISTANT PASTOR
Of ENSLEY CHURCH
DESCRIBES TRIAL
Christ's Attainment Before
Plate Ably Presented By
College Student
ENSLEY BUREAU |
THE AGE-HERALD


Rev. Jack Benton. assistant pastor
of the First Methodist church at Ems
ley, delivered the morning sermon
Sunday to a packed house. In the
absence of Rev. w. II. Mansfield, who
was delivering commencement ser
mon at Blocton, the younger man was
given an opportunity of speaking to
the congregation. Mr.. Benton selected
his text from st. Johns gospel, where
the first trial of Christ before the
Roman authorities is described.
Speaking Of vacillating character
he described some of the reasons why
PLATE was unable to emphatically ac-
quit the Carpenter of Gallilee of the
charge brought against him by the
Jews. The young minister drew a
very striking picture of the weak
man whose decisions against the
Jews uprooted all known rules of
politics and suaveness, and left PLATE
not only in possession of rather ar
tificial authority, but made of him a
weak tool of the Jewish church au-
thorities.
Speaking of the characters that
men developed Mr.. Benton pointed
out some of the obvious lessons to be
learned from the trial of the Savior,
the injustice melted out to Him, His
vast self mastery and His absolute
possession of all the better parts of
the arguments hurled against Him.
Mr.. Benton, who is student at
the Birmingham Southern college,
was able to throw out some new
points of view upon the most inter-
esting trial that has ever taken place
in recorded history. His audience was
deeply interested and plimented
him with rapt attention.

With silver loving cup presented
him by the Alabama Bankers asso-
citation, Samuel C. King, chairman of
Group of the association up to Sat-
urday, returned home Sunday morn
ing. The silver cup was given him
as a token of the interest bankers
found in the unprecedented increase
in membership for his group since his
elevation to the Craftsmanship. His
group, it was announced, indicated an
increase of over lis per cent, winning
out over all the groups that go to
make up the Alabama Bankers asso-
citation. Mr.. King said Sunday that
the meeting was by far the most in
teresting and most widely attended
that had been held by the bankers
since he had been member of the
organization. The next meeting, as
announced, will be held in Birming-
ham. Mrs. King was also a guest of
the association in Montgomery.

The Calamity Howler'
Cheats His Home Town
Newspaper Points Out How Misinfor-
nation Given Strangers Handi-
caps Any Community

A prominent and well-to-do farmer
of Iowa was in town last week visit
ing with his people here in the coun-
try who are. also farmers, says the
Monticello Times.
He was hosing around trying to
get the lay of the land and to find
out just what the people of the vii
lage thought of things. One place he
went into and said, "Fine country
you have about here. Mighty good
roads, too. Fine"
The businessman answers in rather
a dolefm way, eyes, but mighty hard
on the farmer who has to pay the tax
es for them" This was coupled with
other doleful matter which would
drive away from the place the man of
ordinary intelligence, if he was in
tending to settle here.
He also went into another place
just above the first store and met the
same kind of lingo. Then he opened
up.
"Well, I own farm property in
this county and l don't pay any tax
for these paved roads only such as
my license on my car calls for, and
l save that every trip I make-so
does every farmer"
The point Of this story, continues
The Times, is how easy it is to cater
to the prejudice of the farmer. Now
this particular farmer was simply
disguised with this kind of bunk COM
ing from businessman of village
like Monticello whose prosperity very
much depends upon the good roads
it has around and in it, and he didn't
hesitate to let The Times reporter
know what he thought of such Gala

The danger zone in Minnesota
comprises triangle extending from
Warroad east along the Canadian
border to point north of Two Har-
bors and from Warroad southeast to
Brainerd and then northeast to Two
Harbors. Hundreds of fires, most of
them under control, but some still
unsubdued, were burning within this
area yesterday as the result of Tues

The ranger in charge of the Hib.
bling district reported yesterday af-

been discovered during the day but
that cooperation of the people of
that section was LOG per cent and
SO far there had been no loss of
buildings. The worst fire in this
district was near Marble but large
crew had that nearly under control.
A bad fire was burning near Glow

not endangered, the flames were out
