Birmingham's superiority has again been proven, this time in her architects. Time and time again local architects have invaded foreign territory, competed with people from all over the country and then walked away with the prize. w E. Shink recently ran over to Oxford, Miss, and in the face of heavy compe- tition secured the contract for the new buildings to be erected at the Mississippi university.
 The first building to be erected will be the addition to the dormitory and dining hall, costing about $75,0OO and cut of which is shown above. Mississippi is to spend $6Oo,OOO on her university and when the buildings have been com pleted the campus at Oxford will pre- sent one of the handsomest group of college buildings in the country.

It is one of the noblest institutions of our country and deserves the help, encour- agement and support of Christian peo- pie of every name and connection.
 This institution is unique from the fact that it has no guaranteed support from any board, or other financial backing, and is only supported by the free-will offerings of Gods people who feel i'm pressed to contribute to this noble work. It is a living witness to the fact that an institution for orphan and destitute children can be built and sustained who'll ly upon the promises of God, and with no guaranteed human support or back ing.
 For four years this institution which has had for the inscription on it's cor nerstone, Pounded upon and sustained alone by the unfailng promises of God. No child or young person, however poor, ever denied admission if of good character and willing to help himself The Bible taught every day to every child" has fulfilled this idea in the most minute way.
 One of the most beautiful and touch ing incidents connected with the exercises was when President Morgan, beckoning 10 his almost invalid wife to stand by him he paid a most glowing and beautiful tribute to her as his sustainer and ever faithful helper during the past years of building and organization. It was one of the klost touching and beautiful n- cjdents ever witnessed in this section. Many eyes were filled with tears as he recounted the great help a devoted Chris tian wife could be, and his in particular had been.

Reed delivered a most telling and forceful address on "Citizenship." and especially what it means locally.
 Rev. William T. Morgan, the president and founder of the institution, spoke of Gods leadings and dealings in the found- ing and sustaining of the institution.

Years ago it was owned by company that proposed to preserve it as a park, but with the passage Of time the tract of original forest passed into the hands of Pennsylvania people, who bought 1t as an investment The town has been talking for years about converting it into public park This talk might have gone on forever without any definite action, had it not been for the women of the city.

They according launched a movement to raise the required sum, which will be from SIP, ,0D0 to $15,000.
