4 Great Musical Work

'"The oratorio, Paradist Lost which a large chorus under Mir. RiOzi Thomas is now rehearsing, with a view of giy- ing it at a musical festival in May, is an exceptionally beautiful work" said a member of the Arion society.
 "There are many dramatic solo num- bers and the chorus numbers are grand indeed. The orchestration is strictly modern, and is simply gorgeous. The St. Louis Symphony orchestra, which will be engaged for the occasion, provided the necessary guarantee fund is raised will bring the vocal soloists. The baritone, Marion Green, is among them, and Mr. Thomas says he is one of the best ora torio singers in this country"

Activit. in tn. Industrial Field

While great many new houses have been built at Fairfield within the past l. months, the demand is far greater than the supply, as evidenced by the fact that 40 applicants for dwellings are now on the waiting list said John c. Lusk, vice president of the Jemison Real Estate and Insurance company.
 Ever since the American Steel and Wire company began to install machinery in it's wire mill at Fairfield that section of the Birmingham district has presented animated scenes, and now that the wire mill is in operation the activities in the model industrial city have naturally in creased. Many new residences are in course of construction, and many more are being planned. All the stores n Fairfield are occupied and new ones are being built.
 T understand that there are practically no vacant houses in Ensley, and this fact coupled with the camor for houses at Fairfield certainly indicates great thrift in the industrial field. Business will im- prove right along through the spring, and l believe that Birmingham and the Bir- mingham district will have a very high degree of prosperity throughout the year"

BAPTIST MEETING CLOSES.

The protracted meeting OF the
Baptist church closed Sunday, the
preacher devoting the morning ser
mon TO a vigorous attack upon all
who claimed TO be Christians with
out joining his denomination. The
good brother has preached much
gospel truth, and done real good.
and this parting shot hardly repre-
SCENTS his heart and the hearts OF
our Baptist neighbors. IL is believed
that many Baptists do secretly think
that there may be some good in 9TH
or churches.
He was particularly bitter in de-
nOuncing the old Union Church. Yet
its standard does show something Of
the spirit Of Jesus.
The Church Of Christ, of Berea-
Union-founded 1853, receives all
followers of Christ, and works with
all who work with Him, respecting
each mans conscience. working by
love, endeavoring to keep the unity
Of the Spirit in the bond of peace"
