GOOD PROGRESS ON
 I'M. |. A. BUILDING

Fine progress is being made in the con struction of the new Young Mems Chris tian association building on Twentieth street and Fifth avenue. The reinforced concrete work is completed, and the lay ing of the outside brick has commenced The outer covering will be tapestry brick with buff terra cotta trimmings, produc- ing a most artistic effect.
 The fireproof division walls of the build ing are in course of construction; in fact the basement is completed and ready for the plasterers.
 The floors of the several stories have been laid, and are of hollow fireproof tiling.
 An interesting test of the strength or the lower floor is being made by placing weight to the amount of 250 pounds to the square foot on one of the sections of the floor. It is understood that the actual weight on the floor will rarely ex- ceed 50 pounds to the square foot so the applied test will fully prove its strength and efficiency.
 C. w. Frekhoeffer, who is the general superintendent of the erection of the building, states that the structure will be completed about February 1.

when the prayers of the Christian women at home saved her from shipwreck
 Miss Daisy Davies, field secretary of the Womans Missionary council of the Meth odst Episcopal church, was assigned the topic, Organization" and with her yer satile powers of expression and knowl- edge of existing conditions in missionary societies she was perhaps the most earnest spt aker of the morning. She laid bare the modern tendency toward negligent mission endeavors and pointed out the results possible from such an organization if it would make every member of a mis- sion band feel that her presence was in- dispensable at every meeting and that she could accomplish as much as those hold ing the official positions. She stated that crowds were the biggest assets to mis- slonary society for one could not Chris tianize the world with empty benches and chairs. She gave as the motto for such societies. Plan your work and work your plan," with strict admonitions not to be careful of the workers. Mrs. Pren- tiss Nichols next spoke upon "Gifts' ana made strong plea for the obligations or the Christians time, money, love and life to the invasion of the Cross in foreign lands.

Miss Miller Speaks

Miss Florence Miller came next and transported the Birmingham jubilators across the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast in her marvellous story of the Jubilee. This is her fifty seventh jubilee and the incidents of the other 56 as she told them were made so vivid and entertaining that the audience almost burst into applause when she ceased. Miss Miller is at ease on the rostrum, possesses enough of the talent of the professional to
 give a bit of dramatic expression to
 her voice and to stamp her person ality upon the memories of the Jubilee congregation. She explained the riee of the money aim of the movement,
 how it sprang into existence with a
 S4OO0 contribution from the churches of
 Portland, Ore, and has grown into
 s900,00O from the congregations of the
 west and north She told of the de- nominational rallies that are to be held
 today that Birmingham might add her share to the $100.000 the south is eh- deavoring to raise that million dol lars may go toward the work to be done in foreign fields next year. Mrs. Lindsey Patton, a returned mis- sionary from Japan, discussed "Wom- ans Part in the Field,' from her own personal experiences and indorsed the movement that is sweeping from city to city as the solution to the problem
 of foreign missions.
 Examples of native converts becom- ing missionaries to their own kinsmen and information regarding the mar riage and other customs of Japan were the sub stance of Mrs. Patton's talk Miss Daisy Davies was the closing speaker, choosing for her subject, "Woman's Part at Home," and limiting her remarks because of the lateness of the hour. Miss Davies said that the woman at home could do her part through contributions of time, money and influence and in her most enthu- siastic tones reminded the gentlemen present that today was the time for the | opening of the pocketbooks and that
 she was going to try to secure a larger
 fund from Birmingham and Atlanta,
 the last scene of her activities in the l financial line.

 With a platform of the ablest speakers of the Jubilee party, brilliant choral mu- sic under the direction of Professor Crambs, and presided over by Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, one of Birmingham most prominent women, the mass meeting at the First Methodist church last even ing was pretentious and we'll attended Fresbyterians, Baptists, Methodists' Christians, Congregationalists, Lutherahs and Episcopalians of both sexes thronged the church to hear the words of united group of nter-denominational missionary workers, whose individual creed identity was lost in their fervent appeals tor the unchrstianzed people across the seas.
 The opening prayer was pronounced py Dr. L. c. Branscomb of the First Metho- dist church, and pr. J. T. Plunket of the South Highlands Presbyterian followed with scripture reading from the Prophe- cy of Isaiah. To Dr. w. E. Evans of the Episcopal Church of the Advent was given the honor of extending the greetings from Birmingham to the Jubilee party and 1t was done with a brief talk of encourage merlt, congratulation and pleasure at hay ing this greatest of women's movements bring an impetus to the spiritual life of this city.

Oldest Worker

Mrs John White of St. Mary's- s-on-the- Highlands was presented by the chairman as one of the oldest Birmingham workers for foreign missions. Mrs. Whites mes sage from across the years, her snowy hair telling of many years spent in con- trihuting her share in the fight against heathenism and her inspiring words as she leaned on Mrs. Hamilton's arm, were heard in almost breathless silence by the audience of women ready to follow in her footsteps.
 The arrival of Mrs. Henry W. Pea body who originated the idea of the Golden Jubilee and has been the dynamo of the 56 celebrations held in the north, west and south, was the signal for the retirement of Mrs. Hamilton and give the presiding office to Miss Florence Miller, field secretary of the Christian Women's Board of Missions. Miss Miller outlined the mission policies formulated for the foreign work and summarized the necessary elements of successful missionary societies among the women of the churches into prayer, enlargement, information, organization and gifts.
 Taking the search for a lost child as an illustration, the child bearing | the relationship to its parents that the heather countries do to the Chris tian, Miss Miller treated each division of the general outline in a forcible and clear manner She placed particu- | lar emphasis upon the need of more in- formation of the work done by mis- sionaries and urged the women to familiarize themselves more with the stations they are supporting and the workers that are in these stations. She scored the present day missionary so- cieties for their lax efforts towards making the atmosphere conclusive to service and referred to the mission
 boards as being long and narrow without any point" Closing with a plea to elevate the Cross above the
 feeling of denominations in spreading the word Miss Miller introduced Mrs.
 H. w. Peabody, chairman of the cen
 tral committee of the United States, as
 the first of those to speak upon each | division.
