DR. GALLOWAY PREACHED

Three great meetings were held yes- terday in Montgomery Methodist Churches under the auspices of the Wo- mans Board of Home Missions and for the first time Montgomerians saw the service of conservation of women as deaconesses of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
 Before a congregation which packed the vast auditorium of the Court Street Methodist Church and its gal lery, Mrs. Mary Newman Carr of Bir- mingham and Miss Mabel Kennedy of St. Louis, Mo, were declared deaconesses of the Church of God by Bishop Gal loway of Jackson, Miss. who had pre- viously preached an eloquent sermon appropriate to the occasion.
 Hardly a smaller congregation yes- terday afternoon, heard Dr. Julius Mo- Gath of Atlanta, missionary to the American Jews. of the Methodist Church. plead for an organized effort to bring those of his race to recognize the teachings of Christ.
 At the night service at the Dexter avenue MeInOQlSC CnurCN, MISS DSilS H. Bennett, president of the Woman's s Home Mission Board. told a great con gregation what the organization of 4O.- 900 women. which she leads, Is doing in the cause of Christ and civilization.
 $500 Raised for DeacOnesses.
 At the close of her address an elo- quent appeal was made by Bishop Gal loway for the raising of fund to send a young woman to the Scarritt Tro nj School City. to receive training to be conse- crated as a deaconess. Over $500 was subscribed. an amount sufficient to send two young women through the school and in less than two years. Montgom- erians will have the satisfaction of knowing they were instrumental in se- curing two aditional workers in the noble band of deaconesses.
 The service of conservation of dea- conesses is novel and impressive. It is practically an innovation in Meth odism. The first deaconess to be con- firmed were confirmed four years ago in Atlanta Ga. Since that time. the ranks have expanded and now about score of women are regularly enlisted in the army of Methodism.
 Three women were qualified to he ordained as deaconesses by the Board but Mrs. Marian Ivey. of Franklin, Tex. had not quite completed her course of training at the Scaritt Bible and Training School and was unable to reach Montgomery. She will be conse- crated in a few weeks in Kansas City
 The service of consecration was at tended not only by members of the Methodist Churches of Montgomery but members of other local congregations joined the Methodists in paying tribute to the self sacrificing women.
 Bishop Galloways sermon was 2 centre of interest. Bishop Galloway i' well known in Montgomery and he i; known as one of the South's most emil nent men and one of the Christian re- ligion's strongest advocates. His ser mont of yesterday morning dealt witt the all-important doctrine of the broth erhood of man and his remarks were listened to with rapt attention.
 Bishop GallOway's Sermon.
 Bishop Galloway read as the first lesson a part of the first chapter oi Jeremiah and as the second lesson part of the 10th chapter of Mark, beginning with the 32nd verse.
 His text taken from Matthew 20 26 and 27. He said that the patience of the Lord must have been often sore ly tried on account of the slow spir itual discernment of the apostles. Il was the habit of the apostles to ofter give a worldly meaning to His word: and works. Gross material seems tC have been the condition of the entire nation. On his way to Jerusalem tC be offered up, the Savior made no at tempt to conceal from his disciples tho trial and ordeal which He knew await ed Him in Jerusalem. Two of the di ciples, the sons of Zebedee, presented Him a petition to be allowed to sit or his right hand.
 Bishop Galloway said that he wat
