from oromi; enl clerical, medical
* 4 / %
and lay authorities were issued to
day in the form of a- bulletin by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tubercu'osis.
Among these, who have endorsed
• , /
the movem£nt-~a*e - His Etniuence,
Cardinal Gibbons and several Ro
man Catholic bishops, many prcm
inent bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, several denom
inational and interdenominational
societies, Doctors S. Adolphus
Kucpf and Lawrence fv Flick,
Hon. Champ Claik, many promi
nent clergymen and other*.
Champ Clark in a letter to the
National Association, says: "I am
in deep sympathy with the move
ment which your Association is
doing so much to forward We
cannot learn too miJbh about the
dread scourge, for we cannot in
telligently fight that wnich we'do
not thoroughly understand. Know
ledge is power."
Rev. Dr. S Parkes Cadman of
Brooklyn, sajs: "I sincerely trust
that your war ou tuberculosis yvill
prosper: It is a real war and should
have the support' of every right
mindel citizen and of ail our
churches of every kind. We re
member with great pleasure and
equal profit the tuberculosis day of
..*1910'."
Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf ol New
York, the well known authority on
tuberculosis, in a statement issued
for the occasion says: "I iveuture
to say that rot in a few instances,
as a result of tuberculosis sermons
having been preached by pasters,
priests, rabbis, or even only physi
cians, much good has resulted, not
only because of the education of
congregations in the preventive
measures, but because -of the in
terest aroused for the consumptive
poor I know that many an unfor
tunate sufferer is indebted for the
amelioration of bis conditioner for
his cure to a sermon preached on
tuberculosis."
Dr. Lawrence F. Flick of Phila
delphia, the widely known Phila
delphia expert on tuberculosis, says:
"The,work of stamping out tuber
culosis is in such perfect harmony
with the spirit of religion that it is
but natural to ask the ministers of
religion to co operate by giving the
use of their church organizations
for the educational, part of the
campaign. Net until all the people
have gotten a clear conception of
what tuberculosis means and of
what is necessary for its exteimi
nit ion" will it be possible to inaug
urate all the measures for preven
tion which Science has dcinonstra
ted as practicable sud feasible*
Knowledge In net come before action
is possible and there is no agency;
on er.rtl) through which knowledge,
cas be so quickly and so efficiently
extended to aH»- the people as
throligh the churches.

x V-
Rev. M. F-. Betbea, the Rector
serving the Episcopal churches in
Opelika nnd Auburn, announced to
his congregation at Emanuel church
in this city la«-t night that he had
accepted a call to the at
Williatns.tqji, N. C. aud would leave
for his niw field of labor May ir,t.
This was extremely uflwelcome
news to the church members here
who have become greatly attached
to this able aud efficient Rector dur
ing his four years service in this
parish. During his service as
Rector in Opelika the church has
prospered, its condition both >piir
ually and financially constantly
improving Ttie work of Rector
Bethea at Auburn has been matked
by unusual success, the attendance
at the services having qiiadrup'ed
under his administration.
Rev, Bethea began studying for
the ministry when 34 years old aud
or. his examination for admission
to the priesthood fairly astonished
the examining committee by his
proficiency.
Re\\Betbea is an elegueut aud
able pieacher, an industrious work
er an affable gentleman who will
be soiely missed in this field for
which his four years labor has done
so much.
The going hence .of Mr. Bethea
and his gracious wife and lovely
children will leave a void in tire
rfeligious and social circles of our
community. While grieved to lose
them the hest wishes of hundreds
of warm friends will follow them
to their new home, and remain with
them always.—Opelika Daily News

on every band, and every evidence
that life ou the farm has come to
be again surely deligvttul.

at the pleasant home of Elder
Janus A. T. the words were
spoke which uft:ted in marriage
Mr. Justus Everett, of Palmyra,

who is a daughter of the late Mr.
George W. Atkinson, who was so
greatly esteemed in all this sectiori
of the State. Eider S : mpkirs took
from Raleigh as bis"* gue-ts the
groom and a few friends,, aud these
weie delightfully entertained at
dinner at ' Edenwood," the hoiye
of the bride, who very gracefully
presided and made every one ft el
at home,
Leaving "FMenwood,a place
attractive iu every way, the wed
ding party, there made complete,
went to ibe home of Elder «Jone-i,
and in the pretty parlor the vows
were taken and troths plighted

seetlrcd to make the Commence
ment address at Robersohville,
April 2Sth. Both teachers and
pupils are busily engaged in pre

that occasion. These exercises,
together with an address by tbe>'.„.
State's Chief Executive, will no
doubt serve as a splendid climax to
the present school year which has
beSti# most successful one. The
Governor's presence here, as well
as his speech, will doubtless bring
out a large crowd, for his ability as
a public speaker is well known.
