Annual Sermon
E. p. GABRIEL ADDRESSES CLASS
OF 1924 AT SUNDAY EVE
SERVICE, ~-"F

One of the final events in the his
tory of the Class of 1924 of the Red
wood Falls High School occurred
Sunday evening when the baccalaure-
ate service was held at the Christian
Church of Redwood Falls. This is
one of the two chief ceremonies which
mark the closing of high school
career. Nearly all of the fifty mem
bers of the class attended the service
in body and the church was filled
to capacity by the many parents and
others who have the interest of the
young men and women at heart. The
service was impressive and uplifting.
Rev. E. P. Gabriel, pastor of the
Church of Christ, delivering.
At 500 p. m. the members of the
class of "a took their places in the
front pews and the following program
was carried out:

Serman----R Rev. E. P. Gabriel

Hymn mn--- Congregation
Benediction Rev. C.. F. Martin
Rev. Gabriel talked on the subject
Goods Masterpiece" answering the
questions Where do we come from"
and "What is our purpose in life".
His answer to the first question was
simply that God made man, while for
upon second question he went into
greater detail. He illustrated that
there is a Divine purpose for every
being in this world and that this pur-
pose to prove the individuals oneness
with God.
One point upon which the speaker
dwelt at some length is the answering
of the question 'what to do when
school is over? To this he gave but
one answer, "Give to the world the
best that is in YOU. He showed the
great need of reformers at the pre-
sent time. Reform to clean up poll
tics, athletics, and in fact almost ev-
cry phase of life, is greatly needed
at the present day. By reformer Is
meant, not the cheap, bally-ho artist
who sees only the weak points in ev-
cry thing, but the level-headed man
with deep, keen insight into ways
and means, who realizes that reform
is vital and necessary feature of ad-
and that the only true re-
form is that based on true religion.
The keynote of the sermon was SIN
dustry," an exposition of the fact that
there is no place in this world for
loafers and that the Industrious man
has the world at his feet if he COM
bine common sense with industry.
Rev. Gabriel concluded his sermon
with poem from Edgar Guest en-
titled "Don't be a drifter" He also
paid a very touching and impressive
tribute to the Bible as guide book
Of human endeay0r.

 FOR SCHOOL FUND
Paris Gideon Seeks Sub
 scriptions For Mountain Institution

Paris Gideon, business man of Chavies, DeKalb county, is in Birming- ham in the interest of $100,000 en- dowment fund drive started in March for the Master school, an institution for -underprivileged children, by Col. Mil ford W. Howard and Mrs. Stella Vivian Harper.
 The Master school is on the crest of Lookout mountain, eight miles northeast of Fort Payne, Ala. Its purpose is to teach children whose parents have no means to give them education how to live and how to earn living. The school is similar in character to the set clement schools of the eastern Tennessee and Kentucky mountains, which have had marked success in the few years they have been established. There is no tuition charged, the pupils earning their way by their oYn work.

 STREET PAVING

 Row Is Over

Paving projects costing S600,000 or more will be sought by the city com mission as soon as the First avenue controversy is definitely ended, Presi- dent D. E. McLendon announced Mon- day.
 Here is a summary of the program ::
 1. Extend Avenue E through Wood lawn and East Lake to Roebuck. Two strips along this route already are paved.
 t2. Pave Fifth avenue from the un- derpass near the Terminal station through Avondale and Woodlawn to Fffty-sixth street.
 3. Pave Tenth avenue from Norwood through East Birmingham to the in tsrsection of First avenue in Wood lawn.
 ,Abutting property owners and the Birmingham Electric company would have to pay the bulk of the cost of these projects. The utility would have to e&pend an unusually heavy sum on the proposed Tenth avenue project. owners and officials of the company could be brought to terms without diff ficulty. He pointed out that there has been a pressing need for these improve ments for years.
 y"I feel," he said, "that these are the most urgent projects after First avenue, and am going to call for action as soon as the latter project is started"

SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
lState Capital Bureaul

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 9.-A visitor today to the north wing of the state capitol, first floor, might with some reason have believed at first sight that baby show or baby clinic was in progress somewhere in the vicinity. Mothers walked the corridors with their infants in their arms; in the governors ante room, other mothers waited, hold ing their babies, or with their young ones playing about on the floor. One of the youngsters appeared to have an appetite up; another rolled an empty snuff can across the floor; older chill dren sat seriously and solemnly by, like their parents. There was few men on hand, clad in overalls or other work clothes, waiting like the rest; but mothers and children were in the ma jority.
 Their presence excited no surprise among persons familiar with capitol scenes for although larger than an average days crowd, it was a scene which never ends at the governors of flee. They were cases where those on the outside were trying to get relatives

DEFER BOND ISSUE
Board Of Revenue Awaits Return Of
 President Ball

Members of the board of revenue and the county board of education probably will not reach a definite decision re- garding the proposed bond issue for county schools at their meeting Tues day, according to information at the court house Monday.
 President D. c. Ball of the revenue board is in Kansas City attending a Shrine convention and will not return until Tuesday night and members of the board have expressed an unwilling ness to decide such an important mat ter without a full membership.
 Both the amount of the bond issue and the date it is to be submitted to a vote of the people must be determined. Dr. N. R. Baker, county superintendent of schools, has suggested that the peo- pie vote on a $1,O0O,O00 issue on July 15, but this amount and date have not been approved by the board of revenue. Several members of the board have ex- pressed themselves in favor of limiting the issue to $500,000.
