MRS. GREFENKAMP ISIIMPRESSIVE SERVICE CH|CKASAW HISTORIAN AT THE FIRST BAPTIST
Dr. Hobbs Breaches On Great Sacri-
 flee Of Jesus Christ

Ut is not Gods estimate of us, but our estimate of ourselves that counts in the end" said Dr. J. IL. Hobbs in his Easter sermon at Il o'clock Sunday at the First Baptist church. He took his text from the fifth chapter of Matthew, which told of Christs work in casting out the devils which reads. My name is legion. for we are many.
 pr. Hobbs touched on the physical nature of man and showed how small he was in comparison to the size of the earth which he inhabits, and followed by touching the high lights of the old Egyptian empire and the wonderful relics of their civilization they left behind them, then the work of modern man. This was to show the achievements of man and the real standards by which he is judged today. As We judge man by the ruins" Dr. Hobbs said If these are the ruins or man what would the perfect man have done|
 From this he turned to the estimate that God put on man. and the sacri- flee that it would take to clear him from sin, and decided that Christ's sacrifice to the world would be the
 
 tate to make the sacrifice. but all agreed that it was the only course possible" he told his congregation. and asked, How can salvation be easy when God places such an esti= mate upon your soulg
 Man must recognize the sacrifice that Christ made and the opportuni ties and place the worth there" pr Hobbs said, and then place youl own worth on your own soul, for that Is really what counts, for the sacrifice of Christ is worth nothing to man unless he accepts it as such
 The pulpit of the church was dec orated with lilies, ferns and other Easter flowers for the services, and the choir under the direction of ]. Fred Scholfield, director of music and assistant pastor, Was particularly good. The hymn. All Hail the Pow CT of Jesus Name" vas sung right after the scripture reading.
 Mr. Scholfield sang solo. When I Look Into My Savidr's Face, Hard ships Will Seem Nothing"

SIGNS FOR PLANTS BESIDE RAILROADS
Birmingham Factories Will Let Travellers Know About
 Products

Birmingham industrial plants are figuring on electrical display signs 10 advertise ther' selves and Birming- ham. following the suggestion made several weeks ago by O.I Bum. sec retary manager of the Chamber of Commerce. that factories located upon railroad lines make use of their location to tell travelling outsiders what they manufacture.
 Mir. Bum has been getting out let tcrs to all plants so situated. urging them to put up electrical or painted featuring company, the articles man ufactured, and the name of Birmlns- ham.
 into or out of Birmingham on a pas senger train,, wrote MT. Bunn "2eS will find that very few. if any, of the manufacturing plants have signs on the buildings. We believe that these plants are losing splendid oppor- tunty to advertise themselves, ano feel sure that Birmingham also is the loser for the reason that 8 passenger does not know what city he is in un- til he asks someone at the station. In travelling through the east. one observes that almost every manufac- turing plant has such a sign, and it certainly adds to the attractiveness of the plant and keeps the traveller informed"
 These letters are still going out to manufacturers, and MT. Bum is pleased with the results secured so far, six or eight plant managers having notified Mir Bum of their in- tention to erect such signs. M

COP. HARMONY IN CONGRESS IS AIM
Representatives Graham And Longworth In Race For
 Floor Leader

WASHINGTON. Nov 19. The movement among republicans of the next House of Representatives to avoid a contest over the election of their floor leaders assumed the hope that the situation might be ironed out without development of an open contest at the reorganization conferenceI December l.
 Among the conferences held today was one tonight of friends of Repre- sentative Graham of Illinois, who has been urged to make the race against Representative Longworth of Ohio, son-in-law of former President Roosevelt. Representative Graham and his advisors met to consider whether his name should be placed formally in nomination for the lead ership, made vacant by the retirement of former Representative Mondell of Wyoming, when he made his unsuc- cessful race for the Senate.
 Representative Graham is said to have been urged strongly to become a candidate for the leadership. It has been known. however, that party unity has been regarded by MT Graham as paramount and that he does not desire to take a fight on the floor against Mir. Longworth at the risk of party harmony.
 Representative Longworth also IS reputed to have the backing for the leadership of a large group of re- publicans
