A PLEA FOR UNITY
WAS KEY TO SUCCESS OF EARLY
CHURCH.
Christians stood Tog sther ms One and
Were Not Split Iufo Useless
Divisions a. We
aYe Now.

Another strong plea for Christian
unity was made yesterday at the noon
day services In the Majestic Theatre
by Rev. r. L. McCready OF 81. Marks
Church, Louisville.
"The kew to the success OF the early
church." he said. was their unity.
They stood together as one. II we
were not split up into useless divisions
We would be far more effective.
God has given the Episcopal Church
which Is largely the cause for the d.
visions. the great privilege OF bringing
back all factions and divisions to one
union. How many things that we do
now antedate the divisions that we
now observe. The very Lenten seasons
that we are now In goes back beyond
the present division of Christianity.
I'm no scheme for union can we leave
the Catholics outside. II we did. II
would not be a Christian union. All
the churches on both sides are to join
hands. The Episcopacy Is to be the
mediating body, Joining the protestants
with the Catholics.
LAS . have intfmated. the Episcopal
Church Is largely responsible for the
rupture. Take the great Methodist
break. It would never have happened
had our church been charitable. ]
will never leave the Church of Eng
land until / see differently than I do
now said John Wesley. just before
his death. But his followers were
driven out of the church because the
church did not appreciate their zeal
and enthusiasm.
Rev. McCready read from the Official
paper of the Rt. Rev. Percyheld. Lord
Bishop of Hereford. In which the cier-
gyman emphasized the new attitude of
the Episcopaey-nameiy, a determine
tion to work toward church unity,
steadily and persistently.
in Australia" Rev. McCreadv con-
tinued, there are already advances to-
ward corporate union. Some OF tho
churches are beginning to unite witt
ours.
"Trhe way that we can further this
unity is by Kindness. tolerance and
charity for others opinions. Essenti-
ally we all believe the same"

SESSION WILL BE EvENrFUL
Believed Prohibition Decision Viii
Come.
That Extra Session Depends on Liquor
Litigation Outcome II Rumer-
Cs.aias Matter Up-other
Csses Of importance.

Preparatory to the call Of the docket
OF the First Division on next Monday,
April 5, all OF, the JuStices Of the Su-
prerne Court. with th6 exception Of
Judge N. d. benson. assembled fnfor-
mally yesterday at the Capitol. And
probably never before has a session
Of the diEnifed tribunal been awaited
with such eagerness Of interest and
anticipation.
For the decision OF the prohibition
statute is forthcoming during tho term
for one thing. as 1t 10 now assured.
And the probability Is that this par
ticular decision will be the first to be
rendered.
And IL II Is adverse to the constitu-
tionality Of the liquor law-well. the
rumor says that the extra session win
be settled for good and all by the Gov
ernor's, call for an assembly of the Leg
islature in May.
There 10 q general belief that some
definite determination as to the bill
has been reached by the Supreme Court.
How far this IL based on authority h
indeterminate, but however baseless
the superstition, still there II un!ver-
sal feeling that q. decision in regard
TO the validity or invalidity OF the
liquor law Will be out during the first
Of next week.
The extra Session prospect has as
.
but there are some who endeavor to
solve the mystery by telling that an
extra session Is surely coming II the
decision OF the Supreme Court Is ad
verse to the validity Of the liquor law.
Besides the prohibition decisions. the
matter OF the Impeachment proceedings
against Sheriff Frank Cazaias is pres.
emit to lend an absorbing interest to
the coming Supreme Court session. A
hearing of the Mobile official IN forth
coming, inevitably, as II IL known that
Attorney General CARRIER In pursuance
of his duties Is busted in the compila-
ton Of the public charges.
Friendly fntercession In behalf Of
Sheriff CaZalas has been o. no avail
for in spite Of the twelve petitions,
bearing several thousand names, which
have been sent to Montgomery, request
ing the State officials to withdraw the
proceedings, the charge will be filed
with the Supreme Court probably dur
ing the week or. at the latest Monday
preme Court Is for'sally opened.
The constitutionaHty Of the Juvenile
Court and the coz tract labor acts of
the Alabama Code will both be up be-
fore the Supreme Court during the
session which begins Monday for
though the cases testing the two acts
arose in the Montgomery City Court,
which Is of the Third Division, special
arrangements have been made for i'm
mediate disposal of the two. inasmuch
as the litigation In both arise OF a
mutual desire or the part of the State
and complainants to settle All once the
Issue of constitutionality.
Tho Jurists began the reading Of the
law yesterday and will probably be en-
gagged in similar preliminaries TO &C.
tual work during the remainder Of the
week
Justice benson, who Is detained at
his Lafayette home by illness. which
