In the spring of 1902 a few devoted
members of the Episcopal church or
ganized a Sunday school in the school
house of Miss Adele Shaw on the cor
ner of Avenue X and Fourteenth street.
with Thomas Forbes as superintendent.
Miss Shaw and several other ladies
gave their services as teachers and
soon the little Sunday school grew
apace. Adult members of the church
began to attend and a mission was
formed with the Rev. r. De OWES, at
that time rector of st. Johns church,
Ensley, in charge. Under his guidance,
the congregation grew until in 1904 it
was sufficiently large to form par
ish, named St. Andrews, and Mr., De
OWES was called as rector.
A lot on the corner of Eleventh ave-
nue., south. and Central street was pur-
chased and an unpretentious frame
building erected thereon. The church
rapidly grew in membership and addi-
rional property was paid for and an
additional lot adjoining the rectory was
acquired on which parish house was
erected. Both these buildings We're
blown down in the storm that swept
Birmingham last spring.
Parish Under Mr.. De OWES
Mr.. De OWES was rector until 1912,
when he resigned to take charge of
ST. Pauls church, Greensboro. During
his ministry from 1904 to 1912, the
congregation grew from 25 communi-
cants to over ESQ. In the early days
of the parish the work was difficult
but Mr.. De OWES worked diligently and
consistently until every department of
the church was in fine working or
der. He was ably assisted by the YES
try and the faithful members who or
ganized the church. His ministry was
much appreciated by the church MEM
bers as well as by many outside of the
parish, and his departure from the
city was sincerely regretted by people
of all denominations.
When Mr.. De OWES resigned the
vestry and congregation met and unan-
imously elected Rev. Willis Gaylord
Clark of st. Stephens church. Eutaw. as
his successor. Mr.. Clark accepted the
call and entered upon his duties jan
uary /. 1912 During his rectory to
date 40 people have been confirmed;
34 have been baptized and 100 added
to the communicant list of the par

Union Members Discharged

The company, as heretofore announced,
discharged several men for joining the
union. Five of these men were those wha
signed a demand upon the president OF the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company for recognition of their union
These men were not received by Presiden.
Ford, who maintains that by operation OF
a contract the men were displaced when
they Joined the union of Mr.. Welch. Sc
when yesterday morning it was ascer-
tanned that 25 or more additional men had
joined the union they also were dis
charged. As fast as the men join the
union they will be released. as the COM
pany prefers to suffer temporary embar-
ra ssment rather than to recognize union
among employees of a public service cor
pora tion such as u street railway line.
The labor people of the district are said
to be in sympathy with the few men who
are striking. Yesterday morning and dur
iEg the afternoon women supposed to be
allied with the union cause were busy
distributing badges to men bearing the
words: Il will walk" A well known man
started an addition to that slogan: Il
will walk when l have to-" which found
repetition from the mouths of hundreds
of men on the streets of Birmingham yes
terday
Little girls were also distributing the
badges, while one ran was noted to have
an entire breast pate made of the GRIM
son paper. The streets yesterday were
filed and there were many men, women
and others who hal pinned to the lapels
of their coats badges distributed by the
union sympathiers.
G. H. Bodeker, chief OF police, was hust-
ling about the city in his new automo-
bile. keeping in touch with all ends of the
situation. He said that he did not intend
to show any favoritism to either side, bur
that order would be maintained here at
any cost. He added about 80 men to the
force temporarily, while the sheriff fur
nished a few men. The police are work.
ing on 10 hour shifts.
The officials of the Birmingham Rail-
way Light and Power company were very
much pleased yesterday with the evi-
dences of loyalty shown by the motormen
and conductors who remained at their
work despite the strike. The officials be-
lieve that the situation is fully in hard
and that no trouble will result nor will
there be any greal delays in the street
car service in the city.
The belief is expressed that the strike
will have spent itself by tomorrow morn
ing. provided the employees heretofore 10y
al remain at their tasks during today.
Yesterday 36 new men were added to
the police force by Chief Bodeker. Owing
to the fact that the policemen are now
working IL hours, it was announced at
the city hall that the midday and mid
night meals of the officers would be paid
by the city.
81 do not believe that there will be any
trouble, said Chief Bodeker last night.

strike will be quieter than the strike of
