 ! Mrs. A. J.

She spoke most beautifully of our President and of his great leadership. comparing him most forcefully with the great leaders of the past, Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and others. She well comed Miss Wilson as our guest, not alone for her fathers sake, but for her own, saying women who is so nobly do- ing her "bit" by lending her voice to her country for so great a cause
 Miss Wilson responded splendidly in a few words, thanking all of Birmingham for her most cordial reception and enter tainment. Dr. Barnwell, rector of the Church of the Advent spoke on, What An Individual Could Do in This Terrible Crisis,' in the most eloquent manner. Mrs. Mathis told in the simplest and the most telling way what the south and Ala bama could do to feed themselves and what great help this would be in this time of strife.
