William A. (Billy) Sunday, evangelist, accofpanied by Mrs. Sunday arrived in Birmingham late Monday from Nash vile, where Mir. Sunday is conducting revival meeting. They were met at the train by reception committee, which at once took the distinguished visitors for an automobile ride about the city. Doctors Stuart and Broadly dined with MT. and Mrs. Sunday at the Tut wiler. The evangelist granted an in terview to a representative of The Age Herald, in which modern evils were re- ferred to, and many modern ideas severely condemned
 Likes City
 The evangelist stated he had never been in Birmingham before and was most enthusiastic in his praise of the city.
 When Mir. Sunday was told that some ministers were already saying they de- sired him to hold a revival here, the evangelist said: II never go to a place at the call of few people, or from the call of one denomination. When I hold a meeting it is at the request of many churches"
 Asked what he thought about ''church unity" Mir. Sunday said earnestly 1: "There is no such thing" The ndivid- uality of people and their different temperments prevent such possibility. Besides God likes variety He never made two blades of grass alike. He pever made two people of the same mind. He has more than 57 varieties of people. God has the green of the leaves; the black of the coal; the red of the apple i; the yellow of the orange; the golden glow of the sunset and the silver of the moon. No, we do not have church unity, but we have something better Christian unity. That's the kind like. Ask the MethodistS, the Baptists, the Disciples, the Presbyteriaps and the others and all will tell you that salvation IS Of the substitutionary death of Christ. unless it he of some mod erinSts."
 Condemns MOdernistS
 Here the evangelist turned loose q flood of condemniatory language against the modernists, that was surpassed only when he attacked faithless preachers and the evolutionists.
 This modernism" said Mir. Sunday IS all rot so far as the gospel is con cerned. When a man sets himself up agalnst the law, he is a criminal; when man set his judgment up against the Bible, he is sinner. I call these modernists nothing but infidels. They deny the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ. Salvation is of Him. It is not of character, or else we would need nothing but moral philosophy. And if salvation is of the mind we had as we'll burn our churches and build school houses in their place. I blame the col leges for bringing in infidel teaching.

Bear in mind when you buy an

H. B. Leary, Jr., Tells How to
Check Up Condition for
Touring Season
BY WHITNEY LEARY
HI. b. Leary, jr., Inc, Maxwell and
ChrysIer Distributors


ChrysIer Distributors
In a short time the touring sea-
son will open and many car owners
will take long trips over roads
which are strange to them and
under conditions with which they
are not familiar. In order that the
maximum Of pleasure may be de-
rived from a vacation trip, 1t is
essential that the car should be in
the very best condition.
Perhaps one Of the most over
looked parts of the motor car
which detracts from the best per.
Torrance is the braKing equipment.
1t is a factor which. unless ad.
justed carefully, undoubtedly will
cause poor performance.
Car owners and garages do not
take pains enough in adjusting
brakes. All drag must be elini
mated.
CheCk-Up Needed
Many owners and garagemen
think that as long as the brake
drums do not fee3 warm to the
hand after driving that the bands
are not dragging. This is not con.
elusive evidence that brakes are
free. The only way to be certain
that brake bands are not dragging
is to jack up both rear wheels from
the ground and then turn one
wheel in the forward direction.
When this is done, due to differen-
tiaI action, the wheel on the oppo-
site side of the car should turn in
the reverse direction If the bands
are free. While this check is being
made the gearshift lever should be
in the neutral position. Any
"swishing" or rubbing noise at the
brakes while the wheel is being
roated is a suspicious circumstance
that should be eliminated if you
wish ito be free from brake drag.
1t is almost unbelievable to one
that has not had the experience
what very slight amount of brake
drag will do to the performance Of
an automobile. especially on a
grade.
1t Is recommended that the ex.
ternal brakes be first freed up at
all adjustments so that there is alb.
solutely no contact between the
band and drum at any point. Then
when the wheels are rotated it can
readily be observed whether or not
the internal brakes are dragging.
If the internal brakes are perfectly
free then the external brakes should
be adjusted. This should be accom-
plished by first setting the adjust.
ment at the brake support as close
to the drum as apostolic so that
when the wheel Is rotated no con.
tact is made between the brake
drum and brake band.
Should Rotate Freely.
Wheels should be freely rotated
several times while making the ad-
justment. Most brake drums are
more or less out of round and con-
tact should not be made at any
point when the brakes are in the
released position.
After the brake support adjust
ment has been made the bottom
half of the band should be adjusted
in the same way and then the top
half Of the band.
If the brake Innings are worn
and require replacement this should
be done before leaving on a trip.
1t is aggravating to have to fool
with worn out brake bands during
ones vacation period. There are
several excellent kinds of brake
bands but really only one make
which is suitable for the all-round
conditions tourist will meet with.
The recommendation of the motor
cars builder should be followed.

Drain Crank Cases

Wise motorists after driving a
new car about 500 miles, drain
the. oil from the crankcase, give
it a thorough cleaning and refill
with fresh oil. This operation
should be repeated at least every
additional thousand miles during
the life Of the car. It is of great
importance in prolonging the life
of the car in that it keeps the
motor free from particles of grit,
metal, sediment and other foreign
substances which find their way
into the inner workings.
