SERVICES AT ST. PAuL's CHURCH,
Mrs. sInnlge surpasses Herself In So
los-Pentecost and Trinity.

At high mass at st. Pauls church yes
terday the Rev. Father o'Donnell was the
celebrant and preacher. He gave dis
course on Mary, the mother of Christ, and
quoted scripture to show the reasonable
ness of the devotion which the church
paid her. The sermon is said to have been
singularly edifying.
The choir sang Emersons brilliant mass
with Mrs. Sinnige as solo soprano. 1t was
well rendered throughout and Mrs. Sin
nge fairly surpassed herself. Never was
this singer in clearer voice and never did
it seem richer or more dramatic. She sang
the Psalms for an offertory piece.
At the close of mass the Rev. Father
O'Reilly reminded the congregation that
next Sunday would be the Pentecost and
the Sunday following Trinity Sunday.
The annual collection for the Pope,
known as Peters pence, will be taken up
on Trinity Sunday.
Father OReilly announced a novena in
honor of the Holy Ghost as especially APP
proprlate to the approach of Penteeost.
During the novena the litany of the Holy
Ghost will be said after last mass.

MEETING HELD At
TEMPLE EMANUEL
RESOLUTION PASSED CALLING
rc6 REMOVAL OF Count cas-.
slNl AND $500 Is RAISED roa
hi RELIEF OF JEWS.

The annual meeting of Temple Emanuel
was held yesterday afternoon. and the re
ports Of the officers for the past year
were made and received The reports
show the church to be in better condition
than ever before, ana were considered the
most encoure ging reports ever male by
the congregation.
The annual election of officers was not
held yesterday, as it is the custom to elect
them two weeks after the annual meeting.
The election will be held in a week from
next Sunday.
The resolution in regard to the massacre
of the Jews in Russia and the inter' 'ow
reported by the Russian ambassador was
passed. 1t sets forth that Count Cassini
has made statements which are not in ac-
cord with the facts, and the conditions
which now exist in Russia, and recon-
mendlng that the government request hat
ne be recalled as he has forfeited the
right to represent his country. The rosn-
luton further asks the government 10
take hand, as far as possible, N pre-
venting massacres and ill-treatmont of
the Jews in Russia for humanitys sake.
The resolution was reported by the spc-
clal committee which was appointed s)r1,-
time ago. 1t Is in accord with simllnr res
rlutions vhich have been introduced irtc
various Jewish meetings in the country.
The reports of the officers showed that
there are now about 165 members If the
Temple Emanuel and that there are near
ly 200 members to the Sunday school The
church is out of debt and the finances are
in as good shape as could be desired.
The reports included that of President
Simon Klotz, Secretary E. Gusheld and
Treasurer Ben M. Jacobs. The other Off
Gals of the church are M. V. Joseph. vice.
president; and the board of trustees, e.
Lesser, G. Rotholz, S. Spro. Joseph Belt
man, II. M. Beck and A. B. Loveman.
The Temple Emanuel has ra sed some
thing over $500 for the relief of the Jews
in Russia, and it is expected that more
will be received. Rabbi Newfield stated
that yesterday he received a contribution
from the Rev. Dr. Brown, a Baptist min
lister of North Birmingham, and that 1t
was certainly appreciated, not alone for
the contribution, but for the sentiment IL
expressed. He stated that he hoped the
example of this minister might be fol-
lowed by others.
An effort Is on foot to have a mass
meeting of the citizens of Birmingham to
take some action In regard to the treat
meat of the Jews In Russia. This is be-
ing pushed by outsiders and not by the
Jews themselves. although they are heart
lily in accord with any movement to that
effect.
Should a meeting be decided on 1t will
probably be largely attended, as there
have been good many expressions from
citizens Of Birmingham In regard to the
actions of the Russians.

HOME IS NOW OPEN
Mayor Drennen Has Returned
from Trip to Bedford City
The DEDICATION EXERCISES
over 5000 People Enjoyed Historic
Event In Order of Elks-PIcnie
Dinner on the Grounds.
Rules Adopted.
The DEDICATION EXERCISES

Mayor w. NJ. Drennen has returned
from a trip to Bedford City, Va, where
on last Thursday he was present at the
dedication of the national home of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
The occasion was one of the most i'm
portant events in the history of the order
and the ceremonies were witnessed by
over 5000 Blks and their friends, who went
from all parts of the country to Bedford
City.
At the dedication were the grand exalted
ruler, George B. Cronk, members of the
board of grand trustees, members of the
national home committee, of which Mayor
Drennen was one; United States Senator
John w. Daniel, Governor Montague of
Virginia, NJ. d. Detwiler and Frederick
Warde, the actor. Addresses were made
by the grand exalted ruler, Mr.. Detwiler,
Governor Montague and Senator Daniel.
Many Prominent Elks.
Many of the Elks who occupy high po-
sitions in the order were present The
lodges at Richmond. Lynchburg and near
by cities attended in a body. Excursions
were run to Bedford City and hundreds
of people who were not members of the
order were also on hand.
Thursday at noon a picnic barbecue
dinner was served on the grounds recent
ly acquired by the Elks.
After the ceremonies and dinner the
grand trustrees and members of the ma
tional home committee held a joint meet
ing and adopted temporary rules to gov
ern the new home.
Among the most important was one
providing for the appointment of the
grand exaltered ruler. chairman of the
board of trustees and chairman of the
home committee as special committee to
pass upon all applications for admission
to the home.
These applications must come through
the lodge of which the applicant is a
member, and he must have been in good
standing for a continuous period of five
years. If an applicant seeks admission
on account of old age he must be 55
years old and his expenses TO the home
must be paid by his lodge. In the event
he returns or dies, his expenses of travel
must be borne by his lodge, and in case
Of death, burial expenses must be paid
by the lodge that sent him TO the home.
No Diseased Man Admitted.
Another rule is that no man who is
suffering from chronic disease shall be
admitted to the home.
The joint committee will recommend
to the grand lodge that a per capita tax
of % cents a year be levied and that
this be given to fund FOR keeping up
the home.
When the ceremonies had closed the
work of the committees had been fin
ished, the large grounds, with the beau
tiful building in the center, were left
alone with the superintendent and his
wife, and this meant that seventy-two
large and well-furnished rooms were left
behind to be occupied in future days by
aged and INDECENT Elks who might seek
a restful place when misfortune or ILL
ness has overtaken them.
