Of rebellion over the appointment Of
the new usher. He is an excellent
young man, no doubt" they said, but
he hasn't belonged to the church very
long, and, besides, it doesn't seem
likely that a young man who was a
street car conductor until six months
ago can be up on church etiquette"
But that was the very point that the
trustees urged in vindication of their
judgment. 1--WE voted him in because
he had been a conductor they said.
I'VE need a man Of that kind to deal
with the end-seat hog. He is a great
er nuisance in the church than in the
cars. Early in the service he plants
himself at the aisle end of a free pew
and later corners who are Ushered into
that pew fall all over him in taking
their places. It takes a man with grit
to make him move along. This for

PASTORS UNION HAS
SPLIT ON PROPOSAL
FOR GREAT REVIVAL
Opposition Develops to Plan
to Bring Gypsy Smith
Here This Fall
ANOTHER MEETING
FOR NEXT MONDAY
Some of the Pastors Vigorously
Against Revivals With What They
Termed "Star Performers
Auditorium Discussion

Strong opposition to the proposed
Gypsy Smith revival meeting devel-
oped at the monthly meeting of the
Pastors union held yesterday at the
First Methodist church, and unless
some one can throw oil on the trou-
bled waters the indications are that
the proposed meeting will fall through
Gypsy Smith and Billy Sunday We're
denounced as professional evangel-
lists" and it was asserted that their
circus methods of conducting a revival
resulted in more harm than good to
the cause of religion. The proposition
of Rev. Bob" Jones, the young Ala
bama evangelist, for Birmingham to
raise $4,000 to bring Gypsy Smith here
as regarded with much disfavor and
fthe question as TO the disposition of
the money brought about a heated dis
cussion.
The discussion was started by DR.. A.
J. Dickinson, pastor of the First Bap-
tist church. who stated he was ex-
tremely tired of revivals with star
performers" and that he believed the
members of his church and the peo-
pie of Birmingham generally were of
the same opinion.
When it developed that the larger
part of the money raised to bring
Smith to the city went to a church
committee in Wales, the evangelist be-
ing on a salary of $4,000 year. Rev
J. c. Persinger of West End stated he
would like to buy stock in the COM
mttee at $3.50 on the dollar, a state
ment that brought a rebul1e from DIR.
George Eaves who characterized the
remark as being unworthy of a Chris
tian gentleman.
DR.. EaVes also paid his respects to
Rev. Bob" Jones, denouncing him and
his methods as being "a curse to Chris
tianity,' a statement that was resented
by DR. Johnson of the First Methodist
church and the other Methodist clergy
men present. DR.. Johnson explained
the purposes of the proposed revival
and the methods employed by the Gypsy
evangelist
