Roll Call of the Baptist Church.


The roll call of the Baptist church was
held Saturday, Feb. 2, the morning SER
vice beginning at II O'CLOCK. The
appropriate hymn, which is old yet over
new, "Blest be the Tie that Binds" was
sung. A scripture reading from John, II,
and a short talk by the pastor, Rev. w.
| W. Gushec. were given. In this II was
brought out that the church is sent in
to the world having the authority OF
Christ behind it. The best equipment
for the work Is love Immediately after
this talk Rev ~ Thomas Hafer, state
evangelist, who had just begun a series
of special services at the church in
Jamaica, was introduced. He gave n
very interesting talk. MIR. Hafer Is a rapid
thinker and speaker and holds the close
attention of all throughout His address
from Philippians, 2-5, was full Of
deep thought, expressive of strong
faith helpful suggestions. and fitted so
well to the spirit of the day IL could not
fail of being an inspiration to those who
were fortunate in being present. The
dinner was served at the noon hour i'm
the vestry many enjoying the sociabiity
which the occasion afforded. About 80
O'CLOCK the roll call was in order, 109
names being called. Comparatively few
were present on account Of sickness which
has been so prevalent during the past
few weeks. About $50 was contributed
by absent members. one very pleasant
feature Of this occasion were the letters
received by Rev w. w Gushee from
former pastors Extracts from these
are given herewith. Rev. r. S. Mitchell,
Melrose, Mass, SAYS, II shall think Of the
members when the roll call is held. /

read at this time, was given Sunday morn
ing This was fun Of expressions Of regard
and esteem for the Townshend church.

ton, Mass, came this letter Of greeting:
THE roll calls were some Of the pleasant
est experiences during my pastorate in
Townshend. I pray that Gods choicest
blessing may rest upon you and your peo-
pie in the year that is before you. and
trust it may be one Of the best To all
our many friends we send best wishes
and greetings for the new year and
would like to mention all by name"

more dear AS the years go by and I re-
call each cherished name and wish

abundant harvest He closed by quoting

 Governor Braxton Bragg Conner is having his way with the railroad com panies whose misfortune 1t is to have built, bought or extended lines into Alabama with a view to developing the resources of that State and nak- ing ultimate gain thereby, True, rep resentatives of the hated objects of the Governors wrath have had what are described as respectful hearings ac- corded to them by committees of the Legislature, which is doing Governor Comer's bidding with respect to the prostrate common carriers These hearings have however ~nly added zest to the occasion which caused the Alabama lawmakers to be called into special session at this time, the neces- sity of continuing the good work of making the railroads of Alabama the that Conner wanted thus affording a striking illustration of the truth of the observation which President MeIlen of the New Haven Railroad made before the National Grange at Hartford on Wednesday: Business could go to the dogs. Political necessity needs no ob- ligation, but to succeed.

expect aid from the various political parties, inasmuch as the leaders hold as widely varying views as at the time the census was ordered.
 There is no disgusting the fact that the census taking was used as means of legitimately delaying the time when the United States again must surren- der the reins of government to the Cu- bans. It was hoped that with this de- lay an agreement could be reached by tha nolttIcal leaders as to the time of the elections. It had been hoped, too. that time would have healed much of the soreness engendered by the revolution against the Palma Government, and that all parties would become imbued with a desire to hold peaceable and fai reflection. These hopes have not been fulfilled. but the United States now occupies a more favorable posi- tion than 1t did year ago.

The statement may be made without hesitation or fear of contradiction that not in this country is there an organ izationr--otvic or military--that is en- wrapped with such historic interest as the name of the Montgomery Greys. Among the roster ot the company are the names of men who have taken a tconspicuous part in the affairs of the State of Alabama and the nation. Such raen as the Hon. Hilary A. Herbert who was for great many years one of AIabama's representatives in Con- gress and later Secretary of the Navy in MT. Cleveland's cabinet: Col. Thom- as c. Jones. for many years colonel of the End Alabama Regiment, later Governor If the Stata of Alabama and now a United States judge. and other prominent names too numerous to mention. The company has served through two wars-the Civil War and the more recent Spanish American War, and always that same devotion to duty and thorough loyalty has dis tiuguished 1t among all others.

Old Military 0rganiza- ton Holds Its Initial
 Annual Meeting.
Officers for Past Year Reelected Calling of the Roll Was Most impressive. as Many of the Old Comrades Had Passed Into the Great Beyond.

The first annual meeting of the Mont : gomery Greys' Retired Corps was held last night at the. office of the Mont romery Light and Water Power Com pany on Dexter Avenue.
 This organization was formed on the night of the 27th of December, 1906. by a few veterans of the famous old mili- tary company that has made not only Montgomery but Alabama and the South famous all over the unitea States. The organization was perfect ed by the election of the following, or ficers: M H. Amerine. President; ;. r. Saffold, First yice-President; Charies P. Jones, Second yice-President; Paul Sanguinetti. Custodian: John B. Hast ings, Secretary Treasurer.
 After the organization was made known to the public. former members of the company in every part or the Union rallied to It's support and today 1t is one of the strongest organizations of the kind in existence.
 The meeting was called to order last night by President Amerine, the hrst business being the roll call, which proved to be impressive and sad. As name after name of men, we'll known and we'll loved by their comrades, was called and the answer dead was made in response. there was silence so eloquent that 1t could not be broken for some time. Then Secretary Hast ings read the minutes of the meeting when the corps was organized last De- cember, after which came the election of toficers CN
 The officers elected last December were unanimously reelected, w. J. Cameron of Birmingham. being elected Second vice-President to succeed Col- onel Charles P. Jones, whose sad death occurred a few weeks ago.
