New Sunday School Leader

q am glad to know that J. s. Chad wick, for several years editor of the Alabama Christian Advocate, and late associate editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate, who became pub licity head of the Young Mems Chris tian association in the south, is once
 more back in Birmingham said Rus sell Hunt.
 'T think his selection as Sunday school field secretary for the North Alabama conference was wise one. It shows that at last the Methodist Episcopal church, south, in Alabama is waking up to the fact that if it keeps in the lead in it's Sunday school endeavor it must choose the best leaG- CTS. Dr. Chadwick is a scholar who has the lover of his church.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Remembered by Lipton

While on a trip around the world
 with my wife in 1914" said w. B. Key
 holds of Monteyallo, who was in the city yesterday, i've had the pleasure of meet ing with Sir Thomas Lipton and travelled
 with him for several days in India. In
 January we received beautifully en- graved Christmas card from Sir Thom-
 as,' as he is called, which was highly ap-
 preciated.
 sir Thomas Lipton was poor Irish | boy when he emigrated to America, com ing over in the steerage and working first in Virginia then South Carolina ! and finally landed in New Orleans. He
 then went back to England and began a career in the tea business which made him a multmillionaire and an associate
 and friend of all the crowned heads of 1 Europe. He had great love for the southern people and had pictures of Jeff ferson Davis and Robert E. Lee in the cabin of his boat, The Erin was walk ing with him one day and he stopped suddenly, saying, You can't guess what have in my pocketbook? assured him couldn't and he opened it and showed
 me Confederate s9o bill. He is a bache- Tor, a real sport, and as We all know a yachtsman. He gave The Erin to the
 English government for a hospital ship
 and it was sunk with all on board by a German submarine.

Growing Interest in
 Membership Campaign

Membership Campaign THE Birmingham community sing > / membership campaign, which started few days ago, is making en- couraging progress, and Mrs. W. J. Adams, president of the association, which has kept the Sunday afternoon concerts going with limited means, hopes that one thousand members will be enrolled by the end of the present week.
 The community sing is great edu- cational asset and every citizen who contributes five dollars a year toward it's maintenance is performing dis tinct civic duty.
 With an association revenue of five thousand dollars, in addition to the weekly collections, the concerts can be brought up to an artistic standard that will reflect high credit upon Bir- mingham from a cultural as well as a community spirit point of view. As this membership appeal will be the only organized effort made this season to raise needed funds to insure the permanence of one of Birming- hams most popular institutions the response should be ready and enthu- Isiastic.

more than the family needs than neg lect the home garden.
 The Alabama extension service is ready to supply information and make suggestions free of charge and with the aid of the specialists at Auburn the cultivation of the little back yard plat is made both interesting and profitable.
 The winter is nearly gone. In this latitude the present cold snap will soon give place to spring-like tenn perature and within the next few days the enterprising gardener will be busy planting seed.
 The old weather prophet is fore casting an early spring. He some times misses it, but the goosebone signs are now in his favor. At any rate, the man with a garden should be ready to go ahead with the next warm spell. It will never do to let the spring poet get the start on him.

AIr. Dickinson Hears From Son 'I heard from my son, Alfred, who is an army chaplain" said Dr. A. J. Dickinson, who is now secretary of religious work at Camp Sheridan, and who was passing through on his way from Atlanta where he has been to attend a regional conference of the Young Mems Christian association, 'and he wrote that he had not heard from home for five months.
 He supposed it came from having been moved from hospital to hospital.
 He made 8 trip down to Treves from Ceblenz, where he is now stationed, in order to see if he could get trace of his mail, and upon being assigned to a room two startled men arose from bed, saying, Why, we were just talk ing about you and regretting that you had died from the gas attack, and now you have risen from the dead. It was strange coincidence as they were the stretcher bearers who had picked him up."
