PREACH THE TRUTH,
 SAFE OR NOT SAFE,
 IS EDM0NDS' PLAN
Causes Leading to Organi- zation of the Independent Church Outlined in Sec
 Ond Sermon

Yesterday being the second anniver- sary of the organization of the lnde- pendent Presbyterian church, Dr. H. M. Edmonds, pastor, spoke at length upon the subject of the two years history or the church.
 Going back to its beginning, when . mass meeting at the Chamber of Com merce resulted in the formation of the Independent Presbyterian church, with a membership of 1S9, Dr. Ednonds told of disagreements upon technical points of theology between the Presbyterians and himself, then pastor of the South Highland Presbyterian church.
 In reviewing at some length the req son for the separation that called the present church into being, Dr.. Edmonds to, preach what to his thinking, is true, not whether it is safe from the stand point of the school of theology.
 Life, not dogmas. expressions of self, religious freedom, are some of the things we stand for as a church. said the speaker, in part:
 We do not expect every man and woman to think on all points exactly as we do, we grant to all freedom of thought, lettlng each sovereign soul make it's own deliverances regarding those things that is seeks in all honesty to learn. Preceding us in all the things for which we stand as an institution. are great thinkers of all denomina tions, freedom of thought and expression. Prussanism in state and also in church must be put down.
 Each soul must have the right to go to the Cross and come back and tell all men what he has seen, not what some, one else as human as himself tells him he has seen, or should have seen, but what he himself sees
 Judging from the past two years steady growth with a loyal. determined membership numbering almost TOO. the future looks promising. church lot has been purchased and plans for future house of worship, suitable in every de- tail to it's various activities are formu- lating and the congregation looks hope fully forward"
 Owen Gillespy sang solo. the words of the Canadian war song, God Save Our Mem to the tune of My Country. Iris of Thee.''

DRESS MODESTLY, IS DR. STUART'S ADVICE Pastor Delivers Another of His Series of Sermons to
 Young Women

..Improper dress is the first slip Of woman said Dr. Stuart yesterday morning in his pulpit at the First Methodist church, in the continuation of his series of sermons to young wom- en, "and while I do not disapprove or the short skirts worn by women, be- lieve that women can follow conven- fence without getting vulgar, and 1T I am any judge, every time l go out on the streets I see some things that make me believe this has been carried too far. Women only act sensible when they wear skirts short enossn to keep out of the dirt and to save them from wearing out.
 woman is the best thing that God ever created, and I know when I say that, they are going to say. why don't you let us ride in front, and not keep us behind but I say they should con- more good pulling the reins than they can by getting up in front, for wom- ans reign after all is one of love.
 ''woman is on a high pedestal, and when she falls the crash is so great that it is heard everywhere, and no one but God can pick up the pieces and put them back together again. Woman is the conservatrix of God in the home. God has made her more re- ligious and has given her more love Woman is the resource of all pow er Riches produce idleness and then woman has nothing to do. then she does nothing, and that is the curse of the young woman of this day. They have nothing to do-they spend their time gadding about
 .'Idle hands and feet are the devils tools. They cause one to do things that they would otherwise not do. and they are taken to places where they should not go."
 In the beginning of his sermon Dr. Stuart spoke few minutes for liberty bonds. making the burden of his re marks a mans duty to his country. After all," said pr. Stuart, money is going to end this gigantic struggle"
 During the service solo was rem dered of a very patriotic nature, the title of the song being Keep the Home Fires Burning" This was a decided in- novation in church worship in Bir- mingham
 through the audience soliciting sub scriptions for the Anti-Saloon league. and in making a statement for this cause he said that 1t was the battle of sobriety. and 1t was the biggest bat tie America has today outside Of the gigantic struggle she Is engaged in with Germany. He said that he would be fighting for it long as he had any nsts. then he would use his feet. and when they were gone he would bite un- til his teeth were gone. Then he would gum" 1t the rest of his natural life.

Local Association Plans Entertain ment for Players of Auburn
 Mississippi Game

The Auburn Alumni association is go- ing to pull some stunts in Birmingham this week, before and after the game with Mississippi A. and M., and their organization has already shown mucf, activity in promoting the football games that will be played in Birmingham this year where Auburn is interested.
 Dan Martin, president of the Jeffer- son County Auburn Alumni association, is behind the boys and they are going to give Mississippi A. and M the big gest crowd this year that they have ever had, in view of the fact that Mississippi says she is going to take back the long wanted angora of Mike Donahue's men.

DRY LEADERS SEEK
 RESTRAINTS NAMES
Possible Candidates for Gov ernor Given Until TOmor-
 row to Decide

At the last meeting of the prohibi- ton leaders in Birmingham the in structions were that any man desiring prohibition organization support must announce his candidacy by Tuesday
 Fred M. Jackson and Borden Burr were made members of a committee to ascertain whether any prohibitionist desired to throw his hat in the ring
 While this committee was named specifically to inquire of A. H. Carmi- chael of Tuscumbia as to his political aspirations, 1t is understood that they will hear L. s. Musgrove of Jasper, if Mir. Musgroye desires to be heard.
 There will be no meeting to hear the report of the committee. It is under stood that it's information will be de- livered direct to the Rev. Brooks Law renee, superintendent of the Anti-sa- loon leagu
 Tn consensus of opinion seems to be that neither Mir. Carmichael nor MT. Musgrove will enter the lists. How. ever, these and other controverted points will be settled permanently.

CHURCH SETS FINE EXAMPLE IN WORK
 FOR LIBERTY LOAN

Religion doesn't mix with politics but it does mix with patriotism. That the latter, at least, is true, was proved yesterday morning in the Walker Me- morial Methodist church at West End.
 The church, incidentally, is not com pleted, and money for it's completion and equipment is badly needed.
 The pastor, pr. A. M. Freeman, spoke to the Brotherhood class before the morning sermon exclusively on war patriotism and liberty bonds. He was so enthused in the cause that he in . duced the church, despite it's need of money, to buy bonds in the sum of $2oo.
 The Brotherhood class, without leav- ing it's seat, subscribed in cash $50 to- wards the liquidation of the churchs subscription.
 'It is such patriotic stories as this one," said W. c. Adams, manager of the liberty bond camapign, which makes the work pleasure, and what is of far greater importance proves that the people are behind their gov ernment and guarantees that Prussian- ism will be obliterated from the earth"
