COMPILED BY WALTER HARPER

The journey of the society from Bir- mingham to Montgomery on limited train between the hours of and in the morning was almost discouraging.
 There was but little of real interest and the members of the Personal Research society, being Clancy and myself, had to content ourselves with watching a squal- ling infant in the arms of it's tired mother travelling from Pulaski to May Minette to spend a iew weeks with its grand father. Never having enjoyed the ac- quaintance of the said grandfather we were unable to account fully for the strenuous objection the boy was raising to the duty his mother had imposed upon him. The kid evidently knew his busi- ness. He certainly could not have ob- jected to his temporary transfer from Tennessee to Alabama. So far he had certainly ndulged nothing stronger than matted milk, paragoric and Castoria.
 Clancy became very indignant with shoe drummer from Louisville who had

The evangelistic committee of the Pas tors union has made an arrangement, by the courtesy of Mayor Exum, to use the armory in the city hall for daily prayer meeting from 12 to 12:S0 for the union of all the churches in one purpose.
 Back of this announcement is the con- viction of the pastors that the time is ripe for great union movement for the effective evangelization of the city. Amid the urgont claims of business and the universal desire to upbuild Birmingham. they point out that nothing comes so close to the root of things as the relig- ious life. of which prayer is the supremely essential element. and in which all the churches have their equal share. It Is this that creates Christian character and zeal. 1- a.
