WINDS TAKE HEAVY TOLL IN ALABAMA

MANY KILLED AND INJURED; TOWNS BADLY DAMAGED RY CYCLONES OTHER STATES ALSO STRUCK Chilton County, Alabama, Apparently Hardest Hit By Storm, Relief Workers Find

CLANTON, Ala., March 22, (UP)— Gipantic storms that whirled through the southland late Monday <=\vept 7S to 100 persons to their death, injured 295 or more, and crumbled homes in at least seven nearby towns, relief workers reported today. Twisting eddies from the main storm killed and injure 1 others in sections as widely separated as points in Kentucky, Tennessee .eastern Mississippi an i isolated communities in Alabama. Casualty reports were increasing hourly. Sheiiff W. K. Gillespie of Chilton county declared: “The death toll in my county will reach 75, with 500 injured when final reports are in." He based his estimate on the fact that each new area penetrated today by relief workers revealed increased loss of life and property damage. Northport, just across the Black Warrior river from Tuscaloosa, home of the tate university, and this com munity, 60 miles southeast of Nnrti port, were hardest hit. Relief workers, new spapermen, public officials and others who trekked through the splintered debris that marked the path of the death dealing winds, reported that the best estimates of the dead and injured, were as follows: Deal Injur* *1 Northport 35 133 Ganton 20 100 Columbiana 13 20 Fairview .12 20 Cullman ... 11 14 Marion 4 10 Faunsdale • ■ 1 0 Marry injured, caught in falling homes or buildings, nr swept from their feet and huriei into twisted masses of wreckage as reorted in some communities, were reported dy- | ing. Their experiences were similar to' those related today by Okie Willis, ,* farmer living near Collins Chapel, and brought into this community with the maimed bndy of his mother, who va killed, his dying wife, and his father, who was critically injured. “My wife and I were in the house when the storm struck. It came up suddenly, darkening the house like a big black cloud shutting out the sun. “There w’as no time to be afraid. I heard a rra-Ji. Then I must have been knocked out. 1 came to lying flat on my back outside the house in the yard. “Part of the front door was lying on my chest. The house was wrecked. I moved the planks and door that were on me, and crawled over to my wife.

"Sm was lying in a ditch ai oss tin yard. I 0 knew sl)£ would drown in the water in that ditch if I didn’t get to

her quickly.

“The clouds ' ere all about, and it seemed that balls of fire were shooting all around us. “Finally I got my wife out of the ditch. Then I leaned over her to protect he: 1Y* in ’.Ye rain and lightning. She was unc ;.soious I stayed there nearly two hours, until neighbors came to help us. “The do tor toll me she was dying ift r t ey operated on her early this .nor. in,'. M mother, who was killed, in I \ father, badly hint, lived in a ouse n< . us.* “M\ , i- and 1 were brought here in a neighbor’ ,r and she was taken to the di ug Moie where emergency ots were put up for the badly hurt.” One sliange story was that of the nine children !• ft ,t home hy the Latham family a* Plantersville, 18 miles from In ip. Six of them were killed outiighl in th.- -torm which leveled their home. I „■ smallest baby was blo.vn away. It had not been found at daylicht to lay. Two others were in critical condition. At Columbiana, north of Clanton, Mr. and Mu 1 lamias A. Walton, an eldeily couple, were killed. Waltmi' b dy \va- foim 1 in the wreekage o,* the house. M Walton had been borne by tY \vi .d out into the fiont yard. Their damrhter, F.lla, 38, died, in an ambulance enronte to a Birmingham hospital Mi's F.thel Walton, the only -nrvivor, is in a critical con dition in Birmincrliam MARCH STORM HITS MIDWF T (rntinued J iom Page One) portion* struck near Harrisburg in southern Illinois.

ing and death Jesus offered the re demptive power which can make men over into fit citizens for- the kingdom of God. The goal of all living for Jesus was that men should become perfect even a? their Father in heaven was perfect. He did not ignore the idfa of heaven, hut he never made heaven the goal of life. Heaven was only a by-product of a perfected human life here and now. The church must return to Jesus’ idea of redemp-

tion.”

“The goal of the redemptive mes sage of the church has too often been that of getting people to heaven when they die. That is the trouble wit!’ the modern church. It i* made up of peo pie who joined to keep from gnir.g to hell when they die. The gospel which has been preached from h rndred.- ot | pulpits has been a selfish gospel. No wonder the church is full of selfish ness and greed. No wonder the ap peals for the needs of the world are dismissed hy the average Christian eongregation with little response. No wonder the demands of the Sermon on j the Mount for Christian living are en tirely ignored by hundreds of people who call themselves members of the church. AVhen the church substitutes the goal of J* su .that of perfected human life, for the goal of getting into heaven at death, in its gospel mes sage, it may have fewer members on its rolls, but it will have more power in the world. There i- no redemption aside from the saving power of Jesus Girist, but that redemption is for living in the kingdom of God and not just for an entrance into heaven at death. Dealb had no power over Jesus Christ because he hail lived so close to CJod that it could not touch him. He promised this for all who would follow him.” The service 'lue-day ewiiing will he held in the Christian church at 7:30 p, m. Rev. VV. J.
