FIRST CHRISTIAN
 CHURCH HAS ANNEX
It's Growing Sunday School Makes More Room Now a
 Vital Necessity

The First Christian Church annex is located at 421 N. Twenty-first street in the rear of the church. It is being given a new coat of paint. It will soon be ready to receive the overflow of the Sunday school that is growing too big for the accommodation the present church building affords.
 When the red, white and blue com test is over. which the school is en- gagged In during October. for the regis tration of 300 members, the little house around the corner will be fuil too.
 Last Sunday was fathers and sons' day in the Bible school, and of course all the fathers who were not members or the Bible school were invited to join with their sons and the sons were in- vited to join with their fathers. Tn consequence, the red white and blue thermometer at the side of the pul- pit registered considerably higher at that time and today, which is mothers and daughters day, it will be going up."
 The superintendent of the school 1nr. E. b. remington, and the organizer MT. knopf announce unique features Tor the service today. The service ola .s will be in line with great attendance While the Loyal Women" and "BibIe Class will work for a unanimous at tendance.
 But don't let the women outnumber the men. you brotherhood fellows warns MT. Knopf Rally around the flag. boys.'
 Next Sunday will be the day wher all members of the church will be in- vited to become members of the Bible school.

 policy might invite local absorption, we
 have never yet had any such difficulty
 ''The president of the international

 will preside over the session." Dr. Simp-
 son informed.
 'The programme is attractive" he con-
 tiued. Dr. A. E. Corey, one of the in-
 ternational figures who was field director

 Among those outstanding figures IS Dr. A. l.. Shelton. who has probably had the most romantic experience in the his tory of modern missions.
 ''It will be recalled that Dr. Shelton was a pioneer medical missionary in the difficult field of Thibet, where he was captured by bandits, who had such con- fidence in his integrity and so little in that of each other, they attempted to make him treasurer of their loot. INTERESTING STORY "The story is most interesting" as- sured Dr. Simpson, that tells how this good man. instead of becoming their ac- complce finally won the friendship of the outlaws, as he won them over to honest living and to Christianity. After a long period of suffering. during which other Christian missionaries were martyred, Dr. Shelton came back to America l bi oken in health.

MISS WYNN JOINS !. INDEPENDENT WORK  Former Missionary to Japan to Be Affiliated With Presby-
 terian Efforts

Social service has been one of tho outstanding characteristics of the Inde- pendent Presbyterian church since it's organization; and it's recent requirement. of Miss Leila M. Winn. who will work out of the Lyric theatre services, will add greatly to the efficiency and scope of the church programme, say the church officers.
 i, Miss Winn returned recently from Japan. where she had served as a miss sionary for over thirty years. She be. gan her work Sunday with the Indepen- dent church.
 Miss Vim has been sacrificing and serving long, faithfully and unselfishly. In speaking of her work in Japan, she said:
 IN JAPAN
 At the age of twenty-one I was ac- cepted as missionary to Yokohama. These days no mission board will ac. cept one that young. I marvel now that I was allowed to go, so young and inexperienced with So much to learn and to unlearn. remember the shock af- tre shock I had when I came into cnol tact with sin, idolatry and immortality in a heather country like Japan. For almost eight years I taught fn .
  Seminary, under the Reformed Church of America Often I took little trips to country places and when I saw the tenn ples, shrines, and idols everywhere I longed to go into the interior and teach the women and children.
 "On my return from my first furiough the mission and board granted my ear- nest request to allow me to do direct evangelstic work So for over A years this has been my line of work. I have had three stations-Mishima, near Yoko- hama, where the climate is like Ala bama; at Marioka and at Aomari in the Tohokin (north easD. The Tohokin iS very cold. The winds from Siberia would sweep down on us and often in winter we were quite buried up in snow and blizzards.
 EVANGELICAL WORK
 Evangelical work there is trying td get the gospel to the people in any shape or form. This tried to do by means of neighborf1ood Sunday schools, schools fos the street children, all very simple and primitive; night schools for young men: classes for the women. I visited the fac- tories and hospitals, prisons, and jails also.
 Now in the providence of God I am called to the home land. I could never be content not to be engaged in some work for the master trust that He has work for me for a year or twd here until He opens the way for my re- turn to the foreign field. To be a CO., worker with God for the saving of souls whether here or there-is the greatest thing in the world"

 Church and Community Music Ln Birmingham This Winter

bers which may be used acapella,. e effective in the Greek Church.
 MAKING PLANS
 Although the plans are not fully ma tured, I am sure congregational singing will have large part in our pro gramme," assured the director q think. the audience will be interested in de- veioping into fine singing body where every one has part.
 ''At every service" he said, 'T believe we shall have popular audience slnos ing.
 While the choir of the First Baptist Church will not be large, it will be com posed of twenty-five or thirty weli-se- lected voices with a careful choice of solo voices.
 T believe in starting with the chis4 dren.' he said Tn beginning at the be- ginning. with the children in Sunday school. If I were asked would sug- gest an orchestra in every Sunday school. They are procurable for small amount and mean much to the life of the school.
 COMMUNITY MUSIC
 For the community music' the d. rector commented. ''my ambition is te see it succeed here in every phase of it's meaning from the symphony orches- tra to the popular songs of the people or the songs of group of children on- a u1dy STOuHu-
 ''The programme for Birmingham. as I have talked it oyer<with the committee, is one that is worthy of larger city. Now that we are to have a big audi torium the people will be interested n coming together and developing the mu- sical talent of the community Tt isn't that Brmire eham hasn't had anything or that if hasn't plenty of ,nu- sical possibilities" commented MT. Erickson. but the thing iss the people haven't found themselves n1usically. There is a great deal of unused talent here and many people have never entered fully into the community spirit because they haven't considered much about ths advantages 1t offers a city On the other hand. many have thought that because Birminsham doesn't have metropolitan opera that there Is no hope of develop ing fine musical standards. MUSIC STANDARDS "But. really. the musical standards of a city are not set by metropolitan plays. Tt is what BiYmin gham does with her own talent that counts.
 'Whatever the musical standards the people wish to make for .he city will bs made through their own unseinsh co. operative efyorts''

'The international convention of the .'Disciples of Christi that will be held in the coliseum at St. Louis. october IS to 25. promises to be one of the largest in the history of our church." comment ed Dr. Robert N Simpson, pastor of the First Christian Church.
 There will be about 50oo people in ate tendance from every state in the union, he said.
 ''As this is the first convention of our united missionary societies. and as the meeting is to be held in the city which is. headquarters of our activities. it will be of unusual interest. Heretofore the meetings Of our foreign and home boards have been separate. but now our mis- sionary and benevolent agencies are un- ited under one executive board"
