How the Familiar old Hymn Came to
 He Written by Poor Minister.

How the Familiar old Hymn Came to
 He Written by Poor Minister.
 Not one in a thousand of those who sing the old hymn. "Blest Be the Tie That Binds," knows the history of its homely origin.
 According to The Church Eclectic, 1t was written by the Rev. John Fawcett, who. in the latter part of the eigh- teenth century, was the pastor of a poor little church in Lockshire, Eng land. His family and responsibilities were large, his salary was less than $4 a week.
 In 1772 he felt himself obliged to accept a call to a London church. His farewell sermon had been preached, six wagons loaded with furniture and books stood by the door His congre- gation. men. women and children, were in an agony of tears.
 Mir. Eawcett and his wife sat down on a packing case and cried with the others. Looking up, Mrs. Fawcett said:
 "Oh John, John I cannot bear this! know not where to go."
 "Nor either" said he, nor will we go Unload the wagons and put every thing back in It's old place.
 His letter of acceptance to the London church was recalled and he wrote this hymn to commemorate the episode.

 g. A. COwan.

The regular monthly meeting of the City Baptist Young Peoples Union held at the Clayton Street Baptist Church Thursday evening proved to be one of the best and most interesting meetings in the history of the Union.
 After the devotional services, con. dueted by B. F. Davidson, the Union was called to order by J. L. Griffin, First President, who made a re- port of meeting of the Executive Committee in regard to what the at- tltude of the City B. Y. P. U. should be toward the local Unions of Southeast Alabama. This report was discussed briefly by D. r. Bird. R. M. Hendley, B. H. Barnett and George W. Ellis.
 After some informal remarks by the acting President in regard to the elec- ton of a President at the last meeting who had not yet accepted, the Presi- dent-elect was asked to give an answer to his election. After some practical remarks. Mir. Hendley accepted the presidency and taking charge of the meeting, disposed of some business matters and introduced Rev Samuel A. Cowan, tho new pastor of the South side Baptist Church, who made an in terestlng address on The Needs of the Tnion.'
 Alter the address by MT. CoWAn, the following resolutions were adopted:
 "Whereas, The Baptist Young Peo- ple's Union of America has always by its teachings and practice been out spoken on the question of temperance; and,
 "Whereas. The City of Montgomery is a part of the Baptist Young Peoples Union of America; and,
 Whereas, The time seems to be ripe to take a vigorous stand for temper ance in our city and county, and also the entire State, therefore, be 1t
 Resolved, first, That the City Rap tist Young Peoples Union of Montgom- cry does hereby express its hearty ap- proval of the prohibition movement that is now being agitated in various counties in the State of Alabama.
 Second. That We ask all young peo- ples societies of the various denomi- nations in the city. and all ministers and every one else who may be in fa- vor of prohibition, to strike hand with us in a vigorous fight for prohibition in the city and county of Montgomery"

"BOB" JONES COMING
wELL-KN0wN EVANGELIST HERE
 IN TWO WEEKS.
He VIII Conduct Revival services for Nine Days Under Auspices of !. Methodist Pastors--To Be
 N0n-Secfarian.

Rev. Bob" Jones is coming. The announcement has spread that he will be in Montgomery two weeks from to- day; that he will begin the revival services for which he is noted, and from which he secured his reputation.
 The Methodist pastors of the city tave been taking an active interest 1n tho matter of securing the we'll known evangelist for this city. For several weeks plans for the reception which Montgomery will accord him have been going on. A revival spirit has been in the religious atmosphere around Montgomery for the past four good will come from the preachers visit to this city.
 Mir. Jones will begin his services in the Auditorium on Sunday, September 2s, preaching beth morning and night. After this, for nine days, the services will continue, morning services being from II o'clock to 12:30 o'clock. and the evening services beginning at 8 o'clock.
 The evangelist will be accompanied in his visit to Montgomery by the we'll known singer, Mir. Gilreath, who ac- companied the late Sam Jones on his tours of the United States. Both are expected in Montgomery, and the preachers of the city will do every thing in their power to see to it that the~ city is as we'll prepared for the evangelist as possible.
 It is thought that many of the churches will suspend services during the visit of MT. Jones to Montgomery. While the revival is to be conducted under the aupices of the Methodist pastors, the services are to be non- sectarian and free to all.
 The well-known prohibition leader will find the city. also. in an excellent receptive mind, in view of the fact that preliminary services to the re- vival have been going on in many churches. .~

END OF THE CAMP
FRESH AIR GUESTS RETURN HOME
 TONIGHT.
Salvation Army Camp Has Been Rum aing for Eight Weeks, and 150 Women and Chlaren Have
 Endowed It

The fresh air camp, which has been conducted for the last two month5 at Pickett Springs by the Salvation Army. will close tonight.
 The tents will be taken down this week and stored away for safe keep ing until next summer, when they will be again used for the same purpose.
 During the eight weeks that the camp has been running, about 150 wo. men and children have been given a vacation. Many needy and deserving persons have been benefited, and many pathetic cases have been helped. But perhaps the most remarkable feature or the whole encampment was the fact that some fifteen or twenty of the oldest people of the city have enjoyed the camp all to themselves during the past week. The party was composed or some old veterans and their wives, mothers and grandm others. Some of them were blind, some crippled and others paralyzed or afflicted in vari. ous other ways.
 The ages of these people ranged from 70 years to 100. There was not party during the eacampment that appreciated its week of rest and fresh ar any more than these old reople seemed to appreciate 1t.
 Captain Odom says there are quite a few more women and children in the city who have not had an opportunitv or spending a week in the camp vel who really ought to have rest, but ne does not feel in a position to carry the work any farther this season, as the nights are getting cool and fall rains are beginning to come, which life.
