THE SEMI-ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF
 CATHOLIC CLERGY

The semi-annual conference of tho senior Catholic clergy of northern Ala
 bsma was held yesterday afternoon at l St. Paurs rectory. Many informing pa pers were read. After prayer by Father Coyle an exceptionally interesting paper was read by Father OKelly of Our Lady of Sorrows church on the prophecies of Jeremas Before treating of the prophe- l cies directly, Father O'Kely gave a
 brief sketch of the life of the prophet.
 He then gave the argument of the proph- l ecies, and established by clear argumen- tation the authenticity of the works
 commonly attributed to Jeremias. A brief note on the text and the various yer | sions of the prohecies closed the paper. l Father Reichmeyer of Our Lady Im- | maculate church submitted an article on the relation between church and state. | Father Reichmeyer clearly defined the | different spheres of the two societies, the state that has for aim and object man s | temporal good. and the church, that has | for sole aim and object mans super natural good, heaven and the means | whereby heaven is won" He then 1 showed the various relations that may arise, firstly, in a purely Catholic state | secondly, in q non-Catholc Christian | state; thirdly, in a non-religious or indf- | ferent state, and fourthly, in a pagan state. The paper, though lengthy, as | the importance of the subject demanded I was followed with the closest attention by all, and Father Reichmeyer was com pimented on his lucid paper by those present.
 Father Lugowslly presented a Latin es- say on the sacrament of Baptism. He treated interestingly the baptism of in- fants. meeting the objections of those who hold the same to be not Scriptural. The baptism of adults and of persons concerning whose baptism there is doubt, was also considered
 Father McQuillen took his subject
 some of the legislation of the new canon
 law. He defined the duties and the
 rights of the various clergy who at diff
 ferent times take charge of parishes.
 Afterwards an informal discussion re-
 garding various matters of interest in
 north Alabama took place, and Fathers
 kitrick, Bratton and Carroll gave ami
 mating talks.
 After prayer the conference adjourned
 to meet six months from date.

the work of examinations in other cities similar to the one to be formed here, and offered suggestions of what can be done and how it may be accomplished.
 PLANS OUTLINED
 Every train will be met by a commit tee, which will search out any service man, whether he stop here or is passing through. welcome him. see that he gets meals and a place of lodging. get his name and find out what kind of job he can fill. The welcoming committee may be furnished one day every month by every particular organization. Hot cof- fee and lunch might be sent to some nearby station for men who will arrive without proper meals on the train.
 A large welcome sign is to greet the men at the railway stations. Automo- piles are to be there in which to bring the men to town. Cards of welcome should be kept in prominent places, such as in show windows. The various clubs in the city should keep the rooms open. or at least one room, in which the clubs would welcome the soldiers back and which would be for the use of the men in writing, etc.
 There should be some music for their benefit" said MT. Slyde ''The name and record of each man should be gotten from him and should go on the war rec ord of the city. The communities in which the returned men formerly lived should give entertainments in their homes or on the lawns for them, and everybody Tn the city should give a cordial greet ing to the returned men they see''
 Rabbi Morris Newfield stated that the programme that has been outlined is not too ambitious for Birmingham. He sug- gested that large United States flags be put up at the railway stations.
 NEWSPAPERS WILL HELP
 MT. E. W. Barrett suggested that every soldier, after being met at the station by the committee, be brought tc the city hall where he register, giving his record and the kind of work he wishes to en- ter.
 There should be room for whites and one for blacks" said Mir. Barrett. The newspapers will gladly carry the ist of jobs that are wanted l believe that every one of the returning men would get a position in this way. At the present time l know of about a thou sand jobs that are open in this district. This plan would reach many who will not put their names in an employment agency"
 Mrs. Solon Jacobs suggested that the committee that will be formed include all civic and war organization in this district, and that it coordinate the work of the various organizations.
 The local Elks club, the Retail Grocers and Butchers association, the employees of the postoffice and others sent, an- nounced through representatives that they stand willing and ready to do their part and anything else they can do.
