 Information Service
tContinued from Page FIve)

Oscar Wells, president of the First Ma tional bank and I heartily approved of the establishment of the service for, both soldier and civilian. l believe if wil, prove to be of great value to the com munity.
 "Ankbody in Birmingham knows wha t hotei 10 go to. said Fred Shireman. manager of the Tutwiler hotel but if ahynody deliberately makes up his mind to leave Birmingham, he ought to know where he is going to stop before he starts. and he had better wire ahead for a reservation I will contribute hotel directory to the new Red Circle Informa- ton service, and wish that service the success that it deserves"
 WHAT MINISTER'S THINK
 A man told me today that he had wanted to locate the exact language of some Bible reference a dozen times in the last few weeks" said Dr J. E. Dill lard. pastor of tine Southside Baptist church: and l am very glad to contribute Cruden's Concordance of the Bible to help round out the reference library for the new information bureau It is my hope that this service will be taken up by the Birminehamb citizens and made permanency.'
 pr. George R. Stuart pastor of the , First Methodist church. maintains tha. people ought to go to church. and real , izing that sometimes people do not go to church when they are away from home he is contributing copy of Who's Who in the Pulpit "'The information serv- ice is going to prove of gerat benefit to the entire community said Dr. Stuart My study has become kind of infor- nation bureau, as it iS in the downtown district. and l look for the Red Circle Information bureau to become a very practical convenience for every one in Birmingham
 There is one book that stands above all others in it's practical relation to hfe,' said Dr. John A. MacSporran, pas tor of the First Presbyterian church, and I want to place that book in the Red Circle Information bureau. I will bring copy of the Bible down today if you are read dsrfor it. l am led to believe that the Bible will now be- found oftener in the hands of thinking people than it was before August. 1914. It is my hope that the information service will be con tiEued after the soldier and the job have met, and we will all serve together, work ing with community of purpose for the fiji mer establishment of peace with man and God.
 q have had occasion to observe the war camp community service said w g. Stallings secretary of the Young Mems Christian association. Gin most of the camp cities of the south, and one of the most useful departments of this organi- za ton is the information bureau, located in the heart of these cities. The Young Mems Christian association welcomes such a bureau in the city of Birmingham, and it will prove of large service to the soldiers as they return, to those who visit our city. and to all people who may come to the city from time to tmea Young men visiting the large cities of tile nation will find the Young Mems Christian associa- tion ready to give the welcome, and in- formation of valuable character. and we donate copy of the year book of the association where will be found the ad- dress of the association in all large cities
