A RULE SHOULD WORK
BOTH WAYS TO BE GOOD
MAINTAINED JUDGE ABB

Preceding the Saturday afternoon
matinee Of the county court of mis-
demeanors, presided over by Judge
II. B. Abernethy, number of law
yers and attaches of the court were
discussing Prof. Emile Coue and his
autosuggestion cures by means Of his
now famous formula, Every day, in
every way, I'm getting better and
better"
Judge Alb stated that he believed
in the influence of the mind over
matter but that it had its limitations
and in this connection related the
following incident:
few weeks ago Judge Alb had
an attack of appendicitis and was
confined to his room. A certain
lawyer whose negro client was in
jail was seeking his release on his
own bond and sent by messenger
to Judge Alb quite an argument why
he should be released. Judge Alb
informed the messenger that he
would have to look up the records of
the prisoner at the court house be-
fore he could release him without
bond, and that he was too sick to
go to his office.
To this the lawyer, who was a
Christian Scientist, made the fol-
lowing reply: You tell Judge Alb
that it is all mistake about his
being sick. He is not sick at all;
he just thinks he is"
This message was duly delivered.
You go back and tell Mister Law
YER said Judge Alb in answer to the
message, that it is all a mistake
about his niger client being in Jail.
He Just thinks he is. He is out"

RELIGION SHOULD
STAND ACID TEST.
SAYS DR.. MORGAN.
Noted Evangelist and Bible
Student Opens the Second
Week of Revival
Services

Preaching complete eradication of
self, and declaring the marks Of a
disciple to be denial, taking up the
cross. and following Christ, DR.. P. c.
Morgan, we'll known Bible student
and evangelist, delivered the first
sermon of a series lasting through
January II, Sunday morning at the
First Methodist church. DIR. Morgan
follows DR.. Henry Ostrum of Green
Castle, Ind, who completed week s
meeting Sunday afternoon with a
sermon to men on Modern Spirit
ISM"
DR.. Morgan followed the morning
sermon with one Sunday night show
ing the necessity of experimental
religion and using the life of Paul
as his example. Capacity congre=
cations filled the church both morn
ing and night.
Day of Challenge.
During the evening services he de-
clared that today is day of chal-
lenge and experiment I'VE are liv-
ing in a curious and inquisitive age"
pie took their religion from the pas
tor and believed things because they
were orthodox and 1.-The thing"
He declared that he believed in
putting everything to the acid test,
including religion. Too much of
Christianity is theoretical with
many, he stated. This is the rea-
son many heretical theories are max
ing great inroads on the churches,
he said.
IF our religion is not big enough
to stand up under the acid test then
we should get rid of it at once"
DIR. Morgan declared. Then using
Paul as an example he questioned
Christianity and proved that per-
sonal experience was required to
make one believe.
Take Up Cross.
Dr. Morgan's text for the morn
ing service was, Then said Jesus
unto His disciples, if any man will
come after Me let him deny himself
and take up his cross and follow
Me-" He spoke during the evening
on the text. Il am not ashamed of
the gospel, for it is the force of God
unto salvation for every one who be-
lieves."
DR.. Morgan is the son of DR.. G.
Campbell Morgan, noted Bible stu
dent of London, and is himself
Bible teacher, preacher, evangelist
and lecturer of wide reputation. He
is a very forceful speaker, combining
gesture with clear enunciation and
coherent thought.
DR.. Morgan is assisted by w. II.
COLLISION. who acts as musical d.

o'clock Sunday night by stabbing
herself in the left breast with ra=
Only slight wound resulted from
the attempt at self-destruction, Bir-
mingham hospital attendants said,
due to the blunt edge of the razor.
A wound about an inch in length and
one -halfinch in depth was caused,

dence.
Mrs. Free told Detectives H. c..
Jones and C. E. McCombs at the hos
pital that she left note at her resi-
dence which, when found by the Of
ficers, was covered with blood and
only the words. Nobody loves me,
not even my husband" and Don't

REDEMPTION OF WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS PUTS.
MONEY IN CIRCULATION

There is a limit to the number of
reaching the limit appears to be in
definite at this time, according to
Postmaster r. B. Smyer, who stated
that each day. brought a continued
rush in presenting the stamps for
redemption.
Really, it seems that the stamps
are being manufactured overnight"
said Mr.. Smyer in TESTING tone, oc-
casioned.. probably, because of the
pardonable pride that so much real,
honest to- goodness cash is being re-
leased in the Birmingham district.
I'VE have had two windows open for
the special purpose of cashing these
stamps since January 1. Many thou
sands of dollars have passed through
these windows each day, and there is
no decrease in the net amount being
redeemed daily. There are fewer ap-
lplicants, but the average amount
held by each applicant is higher as
each day passes. 1t is impossible to
state the total value of the stamps
that have been redeemed so far. APP
pr6&imately 80 per cent of the appli-
cants have converted their holdings
into treasury savings certificates"
Previous to January l, the stamps
were sent directly to the Federal Re-
serve bank for redemption. When
asked as to the approximate amount
of stamps that had been redeemed
prior to January l, William c. Ster-
rett, cashier of the Birmingham
branch of the Federal Reserve bank,
stated that it was a violation. of gov
eminent regulations to give out such
figures. Hence, it will be some time
before the figures can be obtained as
to the total value of the stamps re-
deemed in the Birmingham district.
Various estimates have placed the
figure at between $1,000,o00 and
$4,000, 900.
