Dr. T. T. Martin Suggests Prayers for Guidance of
 President

Dr. T. T. Martin preached at the tent at Twenty street and Fourth ave- hue. last night to a large congregation on the text, God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whomsoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life from John 3:1s
 It was not only a masterly sermon in it's thought but powerful and compelling in it's delivery. The great congregation lis- tened with rapt attention until the very last word.
 The meetings are growing in interest and power with each service and pr, Martin suggested that soon a larger lot might have to be secured to accommo- date the crowds. In making the an rouncements Dr. Potts stated that they were working on a plan for great peace meeting for Sunday afternoon at which some of the prominent citizens of Bir- mingham would be requested to take part. He stated that the object of the meeting would be to pray for world peace, and especially that God would guide our President and his advisers in such way that America might be kept at peace with all the world.
 Services at the tent every day at lO a. m. and s D. m. and special service for women and girls at D. m.,t con- ducted by MT. Raborn. The music is quite a feature of the meetings, as there are plenty of new books and some very attractive songs.

CONCERT TO HELP
 DIETARY EXPENSES
Affair at Tutwiler Friday Night Is Under Auspices of the Music
 Study Club

The National Federation of Music clubs, which holds it's ninth biennial festival and convention in Los Angeles in June,
 is making every effort to foster American music. It is for this purpose that the federation apportioned the United States
 into four districts in order that the most promising musicians might have every opportunity of obtaining a national renog- milton. Had the preliminary hearing been in some one central place 1t might have meant too many difficulties for most of the contestants to enter. By a simple elimination process those qualifying in the several states met at some central point in their district and contesten un- der the same elimination process. There was no sectional significance in any of the contests, the rules being that tie contestant must have received his or her education in the United States only, must be under 30 years of age and must be a5ie to give recital from the standard works of the great composers.
 Thus it came about that Miss Nef, who has only lately come to Birmingham, quail flied from this section and won the honor of representing the south as piano ,ir- tuoso at the convention in which Amer
 ca's foremost talent will participate as artists composers and conductors and as a climax the premier performance of the $10,000 opera, 'Fairyland," will be given.
 As soon as Miss Neff was declared the winner the Birmingham Music Study club took up the matter of her expenses to Los Angeles It was real ized that these would be heavy and as the club feels that it is an unusual honor to have Alabama represented by local talent they most generously guaranteed Miss Neff a stated sum for her general expenses. committee e. composed of Mrs. Laurens Block, chair man; Mrs. Laura Jackson Davids, Mrs Charles Sharpe, Mrs. Houston Davis
 Mrs. Edward Rice, Mrs. w. M. Mays Mrs. Max Fies and Mrs Philip Ostcr was appointed. It was decided to give a concert in which Miss Neff. pianist Robert Dolejsi, violnist, and the Treble Clef club were asked to take part The committee with the usual capable and enthusiastic way the Music Study club alw avs manages their ventures, then made the arrangements for the concert.
 W ich will be given Friday evening at S:15 in the ballroom of the Tutwilcr hotel, a public concert being decided uLor as it was felt that Birmingham's s public spirited citizens would not miss this opportunity of showing their ap- preciation of Miss Neffs abilities. That the committee was right in it's surmise is shown by the demand for tickets. It might be well to state here that any amount made from the concert will go into the treasury of the Music Study club.
 An artistic event of unusual interest is assured the public. The seat safe Is now on at the Cable Shelby Burton Piano company on Second avenue or may be obtained from Mrs. Laura Jack son Davids, treasurer of the commit tee.
