ROLLING MILL PLANNED

Bnsley September Especial. There
Is a great work being done In the mines
around our town, Ia which all our cti-
zens are Interested. 1t is that of the Rev.
J. j. D. HALL. He takes with him a large
delegation of Ensley workers every Sun
day evening and conducts services in tho
barracks of the Pratt mines. The follow
Ing is an extract from the Episcopal
Church Record, which will give good
idea of what has been accomplished,
"One portion of our mission work will
be felt by the whole diocese. The church
does not support It, save as she surren-
ders one of her most devoted clergymen
for Its welfare, ] speak of the cause OF
Christ In the penitentiary-the work done
among n thousand convicts In Pratt city
and Flat Top prisons by the Rev. J. ]. ID,
Hall. The messages of self-denial among
prisoners makes the heart glow with
It's own capacity, and the head hung down
with shame at our failures. These con-
vlcts are supporting from overtime labor
two missionaries In Africa. To get the
cash their overtime checks are cashed
at % cents on the dollar, They have Il
band of prisoners, who united among
themselves for overtime work that they
might give a sick fellow prisoner a week
of rest. At the risk of whipping for
slate found in their cars they did his daily
task. ], w. CANTEY JOHNSON,
Dean"
