were the dynamite squad that
threw back the fire demon at Van

When the burning city seemed
doomed. Admiral McCslla sent a
trio OF his most trusted men from

the con6agration at any cost of
lifesor property. With them they

The thunderoos detonatiOns to
which the terrible city listened all
that dreadful night meant the sal.
walton of 800 600 lives. A million
dollars worth of property, noble
residences and worthless ehacks
alike were blown to drifting dust,
but that destruction broke the fire.
NOT A POUND WASTED
Captain McBride's dynamite
squad realized that "a stand was
hopeless except on Van Ness aven-
, ue. They could have forced Their
explosives further in the burning
section, but not a pound of gun
cotton could be or was WASTED.

Judge Joseph Carthel. General Secretary of the State Asso- ciation: Armstead Brown, President of the State Association and c. O. Miles Chairman of the Executive Committee of the State Association, composed the lection. They decided, that as the two active salaried workers of the Associa- tion represent the Presbyterian church and the Methodist church. that the new field worker should be selected from the Baptist denomination.
 Judge Carthel the General Secretary is a member of the First Presbyterian church of Montgomery, Miss Minnie Kennedy. the Primary State Secretary is a member of the Methodist church of Opelika, and in the selection of MT.

He is a member of the Ministers Union of Montgomery and in avery movement for the betterment of conditions of the city, morally and so- cIallv-he is always active. His pas torate at the West End church has been especially blessed and the church has grown and pIospered under his counsel and teaching.
