Men’s Spring Suits
Worsted, flannel, serge and cheviot
have made new places for them
selves this Spring. There is the
direct appeal in them to the good
dresser in a score of different ways.
First, you 11 note that patterns do not
seem a bit “clannish.
Club checked cheviots are good.
The “Scotches are up in favor
and so are the line stripe worsteds.
As for suit models, the soft front
coat is very English, free from canvas
and pad. In the conservative Amer
ican cut, natural shoulders and straight
lines obtain, but with the slightly
stiffened front.
Wed like to show you all the new
styles today in men s suits.

GOOD PROGRAMME
FOR CONVENTION
Everything in Readiness for
Sunday School Conven
tion in Huntsville
Montgomery, March 11.—(Special.)_
Tt Is anounced at the headquarters of
the Alabama Sunday School associa
tion In Montgomery that the pro
gramme for the approaching state
Sunday school convention at Hunts
ville, April 15, 16, 17. has been com
pleted and Includes about 60 of the
strongest Sunday school workers, su
perintendents and pastors of Alabama
and other states.
Several new features of modern Sun
day school work never before dis
cussed at a state convention will be
on the programme this year. On ac
count of the fact that this is the
la rest religious gathering of any sort
in Alabama, the railroads have grant
ed a special reduced rate of about one
half the regular fare. For the con
venience and pleasure of the delegates
traveling to this convention, the state
association has arranged for a special
train over the Louisville and Nashville
railroad to be known as the "Presi
dent’s Special,’’ leaving Mobile early
on the morning of Monday, April H,
stopping in Montgomery for dinner
and for connection witli other lines,
and arriving at Huntsville that even
ing. Tilts train will be in charge of
R. O. Harris of Mobile, president of
the Alabama Sunday School associa
tion, and R. L. Howell, secretary of
the Mobile County association, and
will run through without change of
cars from Mobile to Huntsville. Stops
will be made at all important way sta
tions. Special trains are also being
talked of on other railroads.
The Mobile delegation are coming
to the state convention this year with
the determination of having the next
state convention in Mobile. It Is ru
mored, however, that Gadsden and one
or two other towns may make a pull
for it.
State Secretary Palmer reports that
that the work throughout the state in
general has made substantial prog
ress In the past few months and that
every county In Alabama except
Blount, Clay, Cullman, Marlon, Pick
ens and St. Clair Is up to the banner
standard. Clay, Cullman and Marlon
counties lack only one or two district
conventions of reaching the standard,
and Blount, Pickens and St. Clair need
only a statistical report from the Sun
day schools to bring them up. Inas
much as they lack so little of being up
to the standard it Is believed that be
fore the state convention every coun
ty In AlabtLma will be a banner
county.
- BIBLE*STUBY• O fcl
Abraham’s Faith Tested
Genesis 22:1-18—March 16.
"I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and
' the know ledge of God more than burnt
offerings.”—Hosea 6:6.
Today’s study tells us one reason why
Abraham was styled the Father of the
Faithful. His entire history, as depicted
in the Bible, is one of trust in the Di
vine promises; but the final test, which
wfe study today, was terribly severe, and
marked him very high, according to every
standard—divine and human. Evidently
Abraham’s faith ^grew stronger as the
years of his acquaintance with God mul
tiplied. The faith recorded In our lesson
is so colossal as to amaze us! Only a
person very intimately acquainted with
the Almighty could possibly have en
dured such a test.
Tills test came through the Divine com
mand that Abraham should take his only
son, Isaac, in whom centered the prom
ises, and offer him in sacrifice on Alt.
Moriah. To appreciate the situation, we
must remember that Abraham was now
125 years old, and that Isaac was the
son whom the Dord had indicated to be
the channel for the blessings promised.
We must also recall the long period when
Abraham wandered as a stranger, and
waited for the fulfillment of God’s prom
ise.
Now after half a century of waiting
and trusting, could it be that God wished
him to sacrifice all this to demonstrate
his loyalty, his faith? It was so. He
had positive assurance of the command.
It was no imagination. It was no whis
pering of witches or wizards. It was no
dream.
To one of Abraham’s character, the
Divine command meant prompt obedi
ence. Forthwith he journeyed, accom
panied part of the way by his servants.
Then leaving them, Abraham and Isaac
journeyed to the top of Alt. Moriah,
which was afterward the site of the
temple. The very rock upon which Isaac
is supposed to have been bound, became
the location for the brazen altar.
The grand old man, accompanied by
his son, the heir of the promise, came to
this spot. There the wood was placed.
Then Abraham, with faltering lips, but
determined heart, told his son of the Di
vine command. There he offered his son,
even though the knife did not strike the
fatal blow. The offering was complete
In the sight of heaven; the hand was
stayed and, as the apostle explains:
"Abraham received his son from the dead
in a figure.”—Hebrews 11:19.
The Antitype of All This
These Incidents o£ olden time had their
effect upon the actors: hut to God’s con
secrated people, enlightened by the Holy
Spirit, they have still further meaning.
Abraham serves as a type of the Al
mighty, and Isaac as a type of the Christ
—head and body. In the antitype God
freely offered His Son on our behalf, for
the sins of the world. ”God gave His
only Begotten Son, that whosoever be
lieventh on Him might not perish, but
have everlasting life”—that in Him all
the families of the earth might be
blessed.
God’s great sacrifice of His Son did not
mean His eternal destruction. It meant
merely that Christ should die to all
earthly interests and hopes, but should
be begotten by the Huly Spirit to heav
enly interests and hopes. God left not
His Son in death when He freely offered
Him up, nor did He leave our Lord in
the human condition of sacrifice. The
Father raised Him from the dead, on tlie
third day, to a glory “far above angels,
principalities, powers and every name.”
Here we have the antitype of Abraham's
offering up lsaa*1, his beloved son.
“If We Suffer With Him”
There Is more to the antitype. In God's
providence He arranged that Jesus should
be the lieu.I or the church, which is His
body. Hence the sufferings of Christ,
accomplished by Jesus tile Head, were
onlv a part or the suffering of tile ami
typical Isaac, Here the apostle declares,
"We, brethren, as Isaac was, are the
children of promise.”
The Church of Christ is required to
prove her worthiness of sharing In the
first resurrection, by being made con
formable to Christ’s death. The cup of
suffering and ignominy which tile Father
gave to Jesus was a test ter prove IBs
faithfulness and loyalty. This cais He
passed on to His followers, Haying,
| ' Drink ye all of it,” following My ex
ample in demonstrating your love and
loyalty to God and His cause, even unto
death.

Upon
Anniston. March 11.—(Special.)—At a re
cent meeting of the Boosters' club of
Anniston a campaign for the improvement
of conditions was decided upon. The club
also appointed an executive committee
whose duty it will be to name various
sub-committees.
Walker Reynolds. Maj. W. F. John
son, C. Wells, L. C. Watson and C. E.
Clark were appointed on the executive
committee. They will proceed with the
work in hand at an early date. The work

extraordinary efforts will be made to
induce more traveling salesmen to come

ALAN V. HUTCHENS’
INJURIES FATAL
Young Man Hurt in Auto
Accident Near Hunts
ville Dies
Huntsville, March 11.—(Special.)—Alan
V. Hutchens, eldest son of Postmaster
W. T. Hutchens, died at the city hospital
last night from injuries received in an
automobile accident on the Meridianville
pike Sunday. He was 25 years old and is j
survived by a young widow and child.
Ben Cowley, another victim of the acci- !
dent of Sunday, is in a critical condi
tion and may not survive. Owen Graham, ;
a third member of the party, Is out of
danger.
is distinctly stated by Himself. When He
reproved Saul of Tarsus for troubling the
church, He declared, ‘’Saul, why perse
cutest thou Me? 1 am Jesus, whom thou
persecutest.” Saul never saw .Jesus in
the flesh to persecute Him, but whatso
ever was done to the least of His dis
ciples was done to Jesus. This will con
tinue to be true until the body of Christ,
the elect church, shall have been glori
fied. Meantime, whoever harms one of
the least of the Lord's little ones is
counted as having done it to the Lord of
Glory Himself.—Acts 9:2, 4.
The* Ram in the Thicket
When God through the angel stayed
the hand of Abraham, a ram caught In
a thicket was provided as a sacrifice
instead. Thus a ram in sacrifice became
a symbol of the Seed of Abraham, and
an indication of a part of the process by
which reconciliation of Divine justice
will be made on behalf of all the the
families of the earth.
This same thought was repeated in
God’s subsequent dealings with Israel.
Thus the Passover lamb was slain, and
fts blood sprinkled, typically foretelling
hat there could be no church of the
First Born saved during this gospel age,
except through the slain "Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the world."
Similarly, the sin offerings and the burnt
offerings of Israel spoke of a redemptive
work to be accomplished before any
blessings could come to Israel, or through
them to other nations, peoples, kindreds
and tongues.
Amongst the many lessons which Chris
tians may learn from the testings of
Abraham’s faith are these:
(1.) The necessity for the death of the
One through whom the blessings will
eventually come to all mankind. If Jesus
had not died for our sin.s there would
have been no remission of them. Hence
there would have been no resurrection
from the dead, and in that event death
would have been more than a sleep, it
would have meant extinction.
(2.) T*et us be sure that If .Testis had
not faithfully consummated His part of
the agreement and laid down His life,
neither would He have shared in the
grand consummation and exaltation t<»
the Divine nature. St. Paul declared this,
saying that our Lord was faithful and
obedient unto death, “even the death «»f
the cross, wherefore (on this account'
God also hath highly exalted Him."
Philippian* 2:8,9.
(3.) We are to remember that the same
rule applies to all of the church. It is
not sufficient that we consecrate out
lives. We must show our loyalty and our
faithfulness by laying them down, bv j
taking up the cross, by drinking of Him '
cup. by being immersed into His death. I
Only those will share Messiah's throne or
glory. **f( we suffer, we shall also reign
with Him; If we be dead with Him, we
shall also live with Him."—2 Timothy
2:11, 12; Romans 8:17. i

Nowadays skilled chemists do this bet

drug store for the ready-to-use product
called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy”—you will get a large bottle for
about 50 cents. Some druggists make
their own but it's usually too sticky, so
insist upon getting ‘’Wyeth’s” which can

heat remedy for dandruff, dry, feverish,
itchy scalp and to stop falling hair.
Folks like “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur”

downtown druggist. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush and draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a

by morning the gray hair disappears and
after another application or two is re

more beautiful and glossy than ever.
