Capt. j. M. Elliott.

Capt J. M. Elliott of Gadsden, chair man of the board of directors of the Southern Car and Foundry company was in Birmingham yesterday. In speaking of Gadsden he said new era of pros perity had dawned on that city and in this connection spoke of the close af- fnty existing between Gadsden and the Birmingham district. He is of the opn- ion that in securing large new industries Gadsden will help Birmingham very ma terially.
 Asked if the Southern Car and Found- ny company would commence work on the projected car works at Ensley this year Captain Elliott said that no decision had been reached .l the matter, but that if the local conditions continued favorable the plant might some day be erected.
 The Archbishop of Canterbury.
 "Dr. Randall Davidson. bishop of Win chester, who has just been translated to the Anglican prlmacy, In succession to the late Archbishop Frederick Temple, be- longs to the high church party" remark ed a well informed layman
 while the Protestant Episcopal church of the United States has no official con- nection with it's English mother, it belongs to the Anglican communion and the bond between the two bodies is naturally most cordial Whatever, therefore, emanates from the Archbishop of Canterbury is of especial interest to Episcopalians in this country.
 "One of the secular papers referred to Bishop Davidson as Broad High Churchman. That term is confusing and leads an old Anglican clergyman now residing in New York city to eluci- date the differentiation of church parties Writing in the New York Sun this clergy man points out that there are now, as for many years past, four distinct parties in the English church-Low Church, High | Church. Ritualstic and Broad Church.
 LOW Churchmen, he says, prefer to be designated 'Evangelicals.' So far from | being dead and gone as a party they are | at the present time definitely represented | by these bishops: Moule of Durham, Bardsley of Carlisle, Chevasse of Liver pool. Boyd Carpenter of Ripon, Carr Glyn of Peterborough, Kyle of Exeter, Elicott of Gloucester and Bishop Biekersteth, the author of the popular hymn, Peace Per feet Peace There has always been a Low | Church party since the days of the Re- formation when Hooper refused to wear the Episcopal robes, and when number of clergy preferred the doctrines and ritual of Geneva to those of Lambeth.
 "The High Churchmen, as party date from the days of the Savoy conference, In 1861, when they resisted the attempt to eliminate from the Church of England | the chief features of church ritual. They became aggressive in the publication of The Tracts for the Times which ap- peared In the year 1884 They believe in the unbroken apostoical succession as necessary for a valid ministry; that the work of the spirit in the heart of man begins with baptism, and that tradition, co-ordinately and conjointly with holy | scripture is the rule of faith. They are at the present time represented in the | Church of England by Archbishop Mac 1agan of York and these bishops: Words worth of Salisbury. Ingram of London, Talbot of Gloucester and Gore of Worces-

 "The Ritualists are party which came | into existence about fifty years ago when the clergy of St Margaret's and St. All bans in London revived some of the forms of the Roman church in the cele- bration of the eucharist such as the eu- charistic vestments, saying the altar service facing the altar, mixing the wa ter with the wine and the use of incense. The extreme Rituaiists are represented by Bishop King,
 N "The Broad church party took its rise in the days of Maurice, Kingsley and | Robertson, and it Is at the present day represented by Dr. Perciyal, Bishop of | Hereford, who in the recent division on the education bill in the house of peers stood alone among the bishops in voting against it. Robertson of Brighton always maintained that he belonged to the Evan | gelical party. The great influence of this party, which has a strong representa- tive in Dean Farrar, has been in a modi- fcation of the views of members of the Church of England regarding hell and never-ending punishment They also drew attention to the fact tnar while the Church of England regards the bible as '.he Book of God, 1t mas never enun
