 are being taught to sew, knit and
 make dressings for the soldiers and
 clothing for refugees as well as the
 families of our allies. The chapters of | the american Red Cross and are CO., operating with the activities of the
 Julnor Red Cross auxiliaries and the results are splendid. The manual train ing departments are cooperating in the making of furniture for the Red Cross houses and more than the quota of the gulf division has already been subscribed.
 The members of the Junior auxiliar- lies have various ways of raising funds
 for the work of the organization, many of the boys of the city schools have carried coal, taken care of home lawns and flowers, washed windows, done salvage work and various kinds of work.
 The girls of the city schools spend
 their time making clothing for retu- gees as well as knitting and a large
 number spend their Saturdays at headquarters making bandages and
 dressings. There are at present 4io Junior Red Cross auxiliaries in Ala
 bama and reports from each show that splendid work is being done by them.

Park, who was the first pastor of the Ensley Presbyterian church. and of a number of prominent Presbyteria n churches in the south. Mr. Park re- ceived his early university training at the University of Kansas, afterwards go- ing to Princeton for four years, at which place he studied international law un- der Woodrow Wilson. From Princeton he went to McCormacks Theological seminary in Chicago from which place he was graduated in 1899 with the bache- Tor of divinity degree The same year he married Miss Daisly Booth of Corinth Miss, and together they went as mis- sionaries to Siam, where they remained for eight years. Rev and Mrs. Park hold the distinctive place as the two youngest missionaries ever sent out by the Southern Presbyterian church. On returning to the states MT. Park took up
 lis pastoral duties at Midland, Mich, where he remained for two and one-half | years He then went back to McCor- macks seminary and took a post-grad uate course
 Supported by an ancestry of teachers and ministers, as well as an unusually
 broad scope of learning and experience MT. Park seems exceedingly well quail fled to direct the work to which he has been called.
