McGrath Talks

The secretary states that the prob lem of the proper treatment of the homeless man is far from a satisfac- tory solution. He advises that street beggars and peddlers should be discour- aged wherever found.
 The committee on housing reform, General Louis V. Clark chairman, has been doing a great work" he states. "and has accomplished great deal and the need for the establishment of various institutions, not only in Bir- mingham. but in the entire state, is be- ing considered by the local and state institution committee.
 Committees on social service and in- fant mortality have been organized, To- cal physicians giving their services free to the latter committee. A day nursery has been established in Avondale under

Heavy Year

The past year has been a very heavy one for the Associated Charities, it is claimed. More cases have come to their attention than ever before, it is stated and the resources have been rapidly depleted by the heavy call. However there must be money to carry on the work and Chairman Turner states that 1t is urgent for the citizens to respond to the call during the next ten days.
 General Secretary William McGrath has completed his report for the past year. The fiscal year of the organiza- ton has been changed and now begins on November 1 and ends on October 31, owing to the fact that 1t was believed the i, when there was exceptionally nes work, was a better time to in- stte ! campaign for funds. A num- Der of new committees and branches have been organized during the year The "case' committees meet at least cnce week and procure help for in- dividual eases.
 They have succeeded in cutting down the expenses of maintaining the Char ties and have proved a great asset, 1t is claimed. The advisory committee of which J. W. Mcqueen is chairman, con s.ders the case problems and the more difficult matters that come to the at- tention of the Charities

Many Women Interested.

An organization which means
much for the growth and efficiency
of the Bible School of the Christian
Church in this city has recently
been effected. The woman's class,
for several years taught by B. w.
Trimble, was organized on Sunday,
June 80, by the election of officers
Recommended by a nominating
committee) rs follows: President,
Miss Bette Roberts; Vice-Presi-
dent, Mrs. John Boardman; Treas
urer. Mrs. Jas. Groves; Secretary,
Mrs. Wayne Satterwhite. The
latter. owing to many pressing du-
ties, could not accept, and her sue
cessor will be chosen. The class
name selected by the, class is
"Trimble's Loyal Women" and
the motto for the class is Every
Woman in the Church a Member
of the Bible School," The class of
SO members has been divided into
the following committees: Devo-
tional, Membership, Sick, Absen-
tee, Reception and Social, each with
a chairman. The first session of
the class under new order was held
on Sunday morning, July Z, when
two new members were enrolled.
The completion of the new Bible
School addition enables this class
to have the entire auditorium of
the church.
The outlook is encouraging, as
the class has entered heartily into
the work.
In addition to the above So men,
bers there is Home Department
of SO women who are pledged to
the study of the same lesson with
the class every week. Attendance
at class session is optional, yet all
are cordially invited to be present
at any session., Their offerings for
the expense of the school are vol
untary, and can be sent in at the
end of each quarter. The Super
intendent of this Home Depart
ment is the teacher of the class.
During the past week he called at
the homes of II of the members,
distributing the literature for next
quarter and encouraging the mem
bers. Some not living in the city
were written to. This Home De-
partment has been at work since
January LIST, as prior to that time
there was no Home Department.
Upon this foundation of 40 wo-
men will be erected a building of
symmetry and beauty, fulfilling the
motto Every Woman in the
Church a Member of the Bible
School. While this is being ac-
complished, a blessing will. we
hope. come to many who are not
enlisted in the service of the Christ.
