Birmingham never does anything else by half. Why this?
 Dr. Atkins, the beloved pastor of the First Christian church. was kind enough to give me his views regarding the "go- to-church Sunday plan when l called on him few days ago.
 Dr. Atkins is one of Birmingham's s most popular ministers, combining as he does with a masterful intellect and deeply re- ligious nature, that surpassing quality that reaches every heart and hand-the
 human touch, the note of sympathetic kindness, that makes for the best and brings out the best in every individual who comes under it's sway.
 During his short pastorate here, pr. Atkins has made many friends outside of his own brotherhood we'll as within, and his church has grown and matured under his leadership, the outcome of his
 efforts to bring about just the results
 that the united efforts Of the pastors of this district are hoping for in the "go- to-church-S Sunday campaign
 In talking with Dr. Atkins about the movement I asked him where 1t orig- mated, to which he replied:
 Chicago Milwaukee, Brooklyn and
 Boston seem to have been the first cities to have inaugurated the idea, and in each of these places the results have been most gratifying. Through my religious papers 1 have become greatly interested in the plan and have been in communication with those interested in the matter away from here and have learned that in most instances the plan has originated with the pastors, in some instances the busi- ness men have been back of the move | ment, but in all cases it has had the hearty support of the churches" "In the Pastors union here," Dr. At kins continued, "when the subject was in- troduced month ago, at the February meeting, in fact. it was unanimously adopted. In fact, there was not a dis senting voice.
 f"Is the idea to be along the lines of Mothers Day-a certain day set apart in the year to be called Go-to-Church- Sunday?" I asked.
 'I should dislike very much to think "and personally I should never advocate
 plan to make one Sunday out of the year the day for people to go to church. The Mothers Day plan is beautiful, and its celebration once a year is one of the most ideal things ever conceived, but there are too many folk now of the va- riety who would like to ease their con- science by attending church just one Sab bath out of the year. No I hope every Sunday will be a. go-to-chnrch Sunday, with next Sunday merely as the initial day. I hope it will not assume the posi- tion of day that we are working to, but day we are working from. We want | to make it just an every day day: a nor | nal day: no fanfare of trumpets or ex- l tras thrown in, but a service conducted

THE PRESS CLUB
 AT LUNCHEON YESTERDAY

One of the cherriest and most at
 tractive places in Birmingham was the
 roof garden cafe of the Birmingham
 Press club yesterday at the luncheon
 hour. The dismal day outside made
 this bright spot seem all the brighter by contrast. The music was playing, the canary birds singing and the
 guests ehattering as if there were not a care in the wide world. It seems easy even for the business men to for
 get business cares up there in the sky and every day there are numbers of them from offices and stores who for
 Q brief time in the middle of the day seem to lay aside all but the pleas ure of the surroundings. There were a number of luncheon parties and every table was full of guests. Among those lunching there yesterday were MT. and Mrs. A. B. Tanner, who had their moth CT Mrs. Tanner, from Pittsburg, who is visiting them. MT. and Mrs. Frank Crockard, MT. and Mrs. Barrett and a

If you think the recipe correct, will you please tell me what is the fault? Publish the answer soon, please, as I am anxious to try again.

 "A BEGINNER"
 Within a year we must have published at least 10 recipes for mock angel food. Some were sent in voluntarily. Most of them were contributed in response to queries. It is not easy for me to guess for which Mrs. c. D. is responsible Will she kindly reply to the questions of her young disciple who has come to grief in attempting to obey orders? l am sure the fault was not so much in the recipe as in our novices failure to grasp he meaning of certain clauses, perhaps with regard to the scalded milk.

just as it is the other 51 Sundays in the
 year"
 What effect will it have in the matter of attendance?" I questioned. "A cam
 paign advocating such a measure ought to prove very successful"
 "I hope that it will double the average
 attendance" was the reply. Not only
 next Sunday, but throughout the year. Still. often we see the result of such enthusiasm resolving itself into quiescence
 and lack of purpose, as is sometimes the
 case following revival I suggested
 If l thought that it would end that
 way Dr. Atkins said earnestly, "I would
 hope that it would never take place, but
 l don't believe 1t will: I sincerely believe
 that 1t will mean larger and more en- thusiastfc attendance in the churches of Birmingham than we've ever had before ? What in your opinion is the reason why people do not attend church more? ? We have magnificent edifices, fine music and learned ministers so there seems no
 excuse I ventured
 I'd rather be quoted, as accounting 2 Tor why they do go to church." Dr. At kins replied. Pm not quite persuaded that there is such a tremendous non-at- tendance, although. of course, it might be
 far better, but I'm quite optimistic" But the men, so few men go to church [?
 They leave it all to the women and chil- dren of-which most congregations are made up if you'll notice,' remarked T am more encouraged over the situa- t1on of men and their church work than l can say?" Dr. Atkins answered. "Men are taking hold of the problems of the church, they have never done before, and while the women and children are doing their parts splendidly the men are not entirely lax. In my own brotherhood I can speak authoritatively on this score. When a campaign is inaugurated as has been done. for the raising of s6000OOO fund for educational and missionary work. and when one man alone. MT. R. A. Long of Kansas City, has generously given S, 100000 it doesn't look as If men are lulSewarm toward the church, does it?
 Ten years ago, if it had been suggested that $20o,0O0 be raised for such a pur- pose, men would have stood aghast. I qualify this, you understand, by saving that men do not attend church as they different light. and the tide is undoubtedly turning"
 And what is the cause of the tide turn ing?' I asked
 'rhe tide is turning because a task
 worth while has been presented" Dr, Atkins answered. "A man isn't inter-
 ested in throwing a dollar at a million heather, but when he sees the birth of a nation, a republic. as the result of mis- slonary activity, he comes forward ans asks to be allowed to make his own in- vestment and put his own representative in the foreign field. That's the right spirit. and we want this spirit magnified and stimulated by the go-to-church-S Sun day plan, and Birmingham. I believe will respond to our efforts in this behalf"

German Pancakes

l intimated last week that We would soon have additional evidence of the i'm proved health of beloved fellow worker. The following is written with her olden grace and strength. The chirography is characteristic and fair to view:
 Something new and the recipe is a secret, it seems: German Pancakes. To one cup of sweet milk, one-quarter tea spoon of salt, the yoke of one egg, beaten light; flour enough to make batter, and lastly, the white of the egg; also beaten light A teaspoon of sugar added at last browns the cake, for this is one cake baked in the bottom of a skillet. All de- bends upon quick, light beating, for you see there is neither baking powder nor soda. Now grease your pancake griddle but once,. unless the cakes begin to stick, and then little. AVIS GRAY"

Her Cake Was a Failure

''I made a cake, or rather tried to, and used the mock angel food recipe with the signature of Mrs. G. R. D. I did every thing the way she wrote it, down to the scalded milk.

.HGHI. IN OPERA HOUSE.
Harvey Struder and Officer Kern
Mixed Up When Sergeant II
Wilkinson Arrives
sniaon.! lot.

~ siiiabh-i ut;
Considerable excitement was caused
at the Opera House last. night by a
difficulty between Officer Kern and
Harvey struder, during which Stru:
del. was struck on the head with
blackjack by Sergeant Wilkinson who
came to the rescue of Kern. The
doorkeeper of the Opera House had
considerable difficulty in preventing a
stampede from the building, in which
event disastrous consequences would
have followed.
The two men were separated and
Struder was taken to the station
house, but later released for his APP
pearance this morning.
The origin of the difficulty was as
follows: Last Saturday a man,
whom Officers Roland and Kern said
vas Strudcr, was seen TO enter Henry
Baader's Sons warehouse bearing 3

he man they took to be Struder sold
, quantity of brass for which he re-
.eivcd over four dollars. Al! dealers

o make reports of purchases to the
station house by eleven O'Clock every
morning. When the report was re-
.eived it stated that the man who
disposed of the junk gave his name
is Harvey Struder
Struder, upon hearing of the occur
nee. repaired to the station house
with a foreman at the Potomac rail
.oad yards who asserted that Stru.
Her was innocent and suggested that
some man had impersonated him. He
mentioned other employees who coulo
estify that Struder worked ali day
Saturday at the yards. The alb.
ras further strengthened when Chas
Rauch. employed at Baader's ap
,eared and stated that Struder was
lot the man who sold the brass.
It was thought the matter hat
>een settled, but when Officer Kerr
and Struder met at the Opera House
asst night thy fight followed.
Strudcr was brought before the
Police Court this morning. Officer
Kern in his statement alleged thai
Struder had struck him, when hi
yrapplcd with his antagonist Iii
alleged that the assault was unpro
led.
Sergeant Wilkinson testified thai
he was in The Opera House and be
ng told fight was in progress a
he door. rushed out to find Strude'
m top Of Kern choking him. He at.
empted to pull him off. but rot sue
.ecGing he struck Struder on hi:
icad with a blackjack. The latte
hen submitted to arrest. The Serg
cant further stated that Strudcr wa.
iisordcrly on the way to the station
house and that Officer Kern STRUCK
lin on the shoulder with his black
Jack.
After ether witnesses had been eX.
,mincd Stludcr stated that Officer

after was attempting to get some

he had been placed under arrest Of
cer Kern struck him on the neck
with blackjack. and he charged
Sergeant Wilkinson with applying
