 Selma ministers are becoming union
 ized, it is feared, following the declara-
 ton of the Rev. E. w. Gamble, rector
 of St. Paurs Episcopal church, Sunday,
 in which he stated that no more Sunday
 night services will be held until dele gaton from his church assures him that at least 50 people will be present. As a
 result of his ultmatum the church was
 dark Sunday night, but it is said steps are being taken by leaders in the church
 to assure a congregation of 50 for next
 Sunday night
 Dr. Gambles action was not hastily taken, as he warned his congregation some sreeks ago that he would carry out this plan unless there was some in- provement in the night congregations,
 Some weeks ago similar occurrence linson, pastor of the Broad Street Pres
 byterian church, refused to hold prayer services unless B persons were present.
 He retired to his study and refused to take charge of the service unless the
 required number of persons were pres
 ent Since that date the attendance on
 the Thursday evening service has been
 appreciaby increased.
