HISTORY OF CHURCH GIVEN ON
ANNIVERSARY WITH BRIEF
RECITAL OF DISAGREEMENT
WITH PARENT CHURCH

Brethren, 1 count not myself appre-
hended, but this one thing 1 do, forget
ting these things which are behind and
reaching forth unto these things which
are before, 1 pass toward the mark for
the prize of the high calling Of God in
Christ Jesus" With these words from
Pauls letter to the Philippians as his
text, DR.. H. NJ. Edmonds preached a
strong sermon yesterday morning at the
Temple Emanuel.
Just one year ago the new church, I'M
terrain church of Birmingham, was
launched with membership of 1S9 and
held it's first service in the Temple
EMANUEL, which confines to be it's tenn
porary home
After So Sundays the membership has
almost reached the GOO mark. DR.. Ed
monds gave short review of the history
of the church UP to date, beginning with
a brief recitation of the disagreements
in the parent church which resulted in
the birth and present being of the indie
pendent church. Going into the subject
in some slight detail as to the differ
ences in belief, DR.. Edmonds stated as
his opinion that the books compiled into
the book of life, the Bible, were written
by men out of their life and experience,
men who inspired by the Holy Spirit
wrote of what they had lived and seen
and learned Of God and life. Touching
upon the subject of the atonement, the
preacher again voiced his firm conviction
that the sacrifice of Jesus was not made
to appease the wrath of the angry though
just God, but rather it was the over
flowing love of God to man that makes
possible the ''atonement" of God and

ASSASSINATION WAS
PURELY POLITICAL
tContinued From Page one)

Seeing that the struggle was hopeless,
DIR. Adler surrendered to the officers
who crowded upon him and gave up his
revolver. Apparently he was the calmest
man in the room. He gave his name
without hesitation and added:
WAS VERY CALM
'If you please. gentlemen. I know per-
fectly we'll what i have done. l shall
not resist arrest
In reply to a question as to the rea-
son for his act, he said at first that Il
shall have to answer in court
1t was an hour later that he admitted
that he had been actuated by political
motives.
Politicians and police and state officials
reached the scene of the shooting within
a few minutes, but found that the pre-
mier was dead. News of the assassina-
ton spread like wildfire and was re-
ceived with Indignation and sorrow.
The assassin, who is 80 years old, is a
son of Dr. Victor Adler, a Reichsrath
deputy and socialist of mild type. By
a strange coincidence the father was
speaking before the Reichsrath in 1911
when Count Stuergkh was shot at six
times by the Dalmatian socialist, Va
kusch. On that occasion the count was
uninjured.

condition of these dead bodies. Death to
Is was instantaneous
LARGE CROWD ON HAND
Since the time of the explosion crowd
of 800 people has been grouped around
the opening of the mines, to await the
reports from the inner passages. Women,
some wives of the dead, sped to the scene
upon the first roar that shook the camp
frenzied with fear and overcome with
grief. But, convinced that all in the
power of membrane men-would be done
to save the lives of the entrapped miners,
they were led away by friends to their
homes to spend their grief.
AT midnight there were 50 men work
ing in the mines and endeavoring to bring
the other victims to the surface. The
largest group of the dead was over 200
feet from the first bodies found.
B. r. Roden, the president of the Ro-
den Coal company, said last night that
he was at loss to explain the cause
of the explosion. The fans flooding the
mines with air had been working contin-
uously, he said, and also that the mines
had been inspected Saturday for gas and
found safe. NJ. A. Lowrey, he was told
by the superintendent, had gone over the
rooms on the ninth left entry Sunday
morning, with the same finding.
REGARDED AS MODEL MINE
The Marvel mine is regarded as a
model. 1t has an output of 1900 tons a
day, and is one of the largest mines in
the Alabama coal fields. The Marvel
mine is in Bib county. on the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad. 1t is superb
ly built, and has been considered a safe
mine" Only one previous explosion, re-
sulting in death, has occurred there and
that was several years ago.
The government rescue truck left Biz
mingham yesterday afternoon shortly
after the report had been received, but
did not arrive at Marvel until after the
first two bodies had been recovered.
The damage to the mine is not re-
garded as heavy. although it will not be
possible to know the extent of the loss
until after dawn.
C. Fl. Nesbit, state inspector of mines,
hurried to the scene of the disaster from
Birmingham and aided in the rescue
work.

The speaker referred to the many pre-
dictions as to the life of the church, cit
ing the various periods of time deemed
necessary for 1t to die natural death
But in spite of the adverse criticism
of us, we have grown nightly this nrst
year of our church life," said DR.. Ed
monds, land God must be in this move
ment or we could not continue to be.
We have made some mistakes, of course,
buta these mistakes are but steps
in our progress, we will profit by ana
build better for them. We are tremen >
dously in earnest and though we be
called heretics, we will remember that
most of the different sects that have
come into being were led by men who
were also called heretics because they
dared to voice the thought that come to
them, in their search to know more of
the infinite. We stand for INDEPENDENCE
of Christian thought and none of these
things, criticism or biased Judgment
need move us.
But 1 urge you most earnestly to live
clean Christian lives, open to the in
spection of those who would judge you"
DR.. Edmonds mentioned the fact that
fellowship with several denominations
had been offered the Independent church
but so far they had preferred to remain
as they are
Eleven new members were received
into membership after the service. 1t
was announced that the weekly prayer
meeting would be dispensed with on
next Wednesday owing to the meeting
of the School Of Methods" in which the
church is greatly interested.
At the evening services at the Lyric
DR.. Edmonds spoke upon the words Of
Christ to the thief, preaching sermon
of rare beauty and power. He pictured
the Lord as the loving, forgiving and
powerful savior of men, holding up the
cause and it's sacrifice to sinful man
and offering pardon and peace to the
uttermost owen Gillespie sang "where
He Leads Me, / Will Follow in the
