SPECIAL INTEREST. IN TOPIC SUNDAY.
 BY DR. STUART.
Pastor Has Served Eight
 Years At First '.' ? ,.
 Methodist <. :. ;,

Members. and friends of the First Methodist church are looking forward with special interest to Sunday 5 serv- ices, because, on this Sunday Dr. George Stuart, pastor of the church, will finish his last Sunday in this conference year and in his second quadrennium, which means that he has served the First Methodist church for eight years.
 When Dr. Stuart came to Birming- ham there was every reason to believe that he would only be here four years, but during his first quadrennium the law of the church was changed, mak- ing it possible for a Methodist minis ter, to return to his charge under cer- tain conditions.
 Sunday will, therefore, be. day of reminiscence at both services. In the morning Dr. Stuart will use as his sermon subject: "Reminiscences of Eight Years at First Methodist Church" Sunday night his subject will be "Reminiscences of Twenty Years in Evangelistic Work" At the evening sedvice Dr. Stuart will tell of some of the great revivals he has had the privilege of being in during the last twenty-five years.
 The North Alabama Conference of which Dr. Stuart is a member, will meet at Talladega Wednesday morning, Octo- ber %, with Bishop w. A. Candler presiding. The official members and the membership of the First Methodist church are sincerely hoping that Dr. Stuart will be returned to them for an- other year, but whether he is re-appoint- ed to Birmingham or not depends upon the bishop and his, cabinet. ,..

THE TROPICAL SON
 Tnkn H.11Cd

Ns11. And he said, A certain man had two sons ee+.5: }E.~. ',

And not many days after, the y9ungeT4Qn gathered all together . and tobKhis journey into h far codntryJ and there he wasted his substGhe skith riotous living. $ IA. tARtlx when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
 15. And he went and joined him. self to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fiends to feed swine
 16. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat and no man gave unto him.
 17. But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!
 IS. I will rise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: .ss.
 19. I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
 20. And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
 21. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
 p. But the father said to his ser wants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: ,t.
 23. And bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry: T
 A. For this my son was dead, and is alive again he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

TOday's Bible Talk
By George LelUis Bailes

young man drew rapidly near to the rich city of reveals where he meant to live. At every turning of the road he felt of the money bags which hung at either side of his saddle. He soon arrived at the city of his desire and began his lfensting. It seemed to him that those I thousands of coins would last forvere. He rented fine house, bought five or six slaves, dressed like a prince; and soon had men and women friends who were guests at his table, and who drank his wine till their stomachs could hold no, more. He did not economize, with women and chose the most beautiful the city. contained, those who knew how to dance and sing and dress with magni- ficence, and undress with grace. No presents seemed too fine or too rich to please those bodies which abandoned themselves with such voluptuous soft ness, and which gave him the widest, most torturing pleasure. !. The little provincial lord from the dull country, represented the most sensual period of his life, now vented his voluptuousness, his love of luxury, in this dangerous | life.'' {: :, l~., Burned Out sG i.. <.
 This scheme of things soon crashed to an unhappy ending. A famine came on the country. Naturally enough: his. fair weather friends were soon scattered and lost. With his money gone, he must look for a job. Already placards were being nailed over the doors of offices, factories, and shows upon which were written the freboding word "closed." It seemed as if there was not a job to be had. He had ceased to look for a po- sition. He became so desperate that he finally hired himself to man who fol- lowed the business of hog-raising.
 For Jew nothing could be worse state than this. No Jewish father would think of giving the hand of his daughter to swine-herd no matter what the size of his bank account might be. And no Jew would have married the daughter

Spanish Springs Reservoir
and the Newlands Project
Matter Discussed From Opposite Angle ol
Recent Article; Advocate Farmer
Urges More Facts and figures

Among the facts which they as
sumo and which are directly oppo-
site to what have been led to be-
lieye are the following: That we have
a permanent, continuous power plant
at Lahontan sufficient for the needs
of the project; that there are other
and better reservoir sites on the
Truckee river than that at Spanish
Springs; that the Spanish Springs
reservoir will not conserve the flood
water of the Truckee river; that de-
velopment of the Spanish Springs
reservoir will cut our project in half,
and stop further development here.
| ask that the proof of these facts
be presented to the board at once,
or IL the parties prefer. that it be
published in such a way as to come
to the attention of the board, and !
further ask that they present to the
board or publish a detailed state
ment of their plan for the further
development of this project along
the lines demanded so eloquently in
their signed article. We all want
that development. Show us how to
get it and we will be with you.
We all know that If this project
is to be made a success 1t must be by
our own united efforts We must
settle all differences as to methods
among ourselves and then give loyal
support to the one adopted by the
majority. That is what our district
organization is for. and what our
district board is trying to accomp-
lish. Give them the proofs and lei
them go on with our work. No one
else has authority to do it for us.

electricity ON FARMS URGED
BY RECLAMATION BUREAU

electric service for the farm. 1t is
essentially an economic problem, one
Of finding what are the maximum
uses for this service IN the rural
field. The farmer uses large amount
of power. For just how much of this
work electricity can profitably be
used is not known but there is every
reason why we should find out. There
are two problems connected with
this. The first, here are we going
to get the electric current from,
which involves the relation between
hydro and steam plants and the sec
ond the utilization of this current on
the farm. AS the art of generating
and distributing current is far in ad-
vance of the art of using it ON the
farm the first step may we'll be an
investigation to throw light on utili-
cation Once the economic oppor-
tunities for the use of electricity in
agriculture are established attention
can profitably be paid to the source
from which this service may be OBJ
tanned and how it should be dis
tributed to keep the costs down
I'VE are faced with all the prob
lens of taking a new form of power
to the largest single industry in this
country. We are venturing into a
new field where the possibilities
stimulate the imagination. What the
probabilities are is for the future to
reveal. 1t is field for the original
thinker, the pioneer, the men who
can get a perspective of the entire
problem and at the same time keep
their feet on sound economic and
engineeding ground. To get all the
facts is too big problem for the
individual farmer or group of farm
ers. 1t requires organized investiga-
tion. 1t Is a problem of sufficient
Importance to attract organizations
which have a direct interest in the
future OF American agriculture. In
this connection it is a pleasure to
report that the department of inter
ior is represented or the committee
on the relation of electricity to agri-
culture. 1t is the purpose of this
organization to give purpose and di-
rection to the work; collect, digest,
and distribute pertinent information
stimulate Investigations and see that
reliable facts are made available to
the public.

The following from the Rcclama-
ton Record of February falls into
line with those advocating expansion
Of power over the Newlands project
to the farmers:
what is electricity going to do
for the farmer?. With every indica-
ton that this nation is entering what
is popularity called an electrical age
It is none too soon to give compre-
hensive consideration to the above
question. Great Developments do not
just happen. Back of the scenes
there is always some man or woman
with vision and the ability to make
other people appreciate this vision.
There must be belief before there
is action; planning, experimenting,
searching for the maximum follow
as a natural result. With our great
wealth of natural resources posi-
bilities are limited essentially by our
initiative and vision.
above everything else we are
building a civilization and it is un-
thinkable that we shall ever have
maximum agricultural or national de-
velopment without electric service
on the farm. To date. electrical de-
velopments have been essentially ur-
ban in character. Among other
things this has brought a new stan
dard of living to city dwellers and
has been a dominant factor in light
ening the burden of the city house
wife. The farmer, his wife and fam
lily are entitled to these same con-
yeniences and standard of living
comparable to city families of the
same economic standing. Certainly
we are not going to be satisfied with
a condition which makes 1t possible
for the laboring man in town to have
better convenienees in his home than
the farmer has. Now, the desired goal
can not be reached by lowering the
standards in the city. We must look
for progress in the other direction.
Elevating the standard of living on
the farm is the thing and electric
service will go a long way toward
solving this problem and make pos
sible for the farmers wife labor
saving equipment indoors compar-
able to the modern machinery used
in the fields.
There are no insurmountable en-
gineering difficulties in the path OF
