Tom Burke
 Pm mighty glad to zee Tom Burke move up peg in the world" said Harry B. New yesterday. but I hate to lose him.
 Tom has gone to Macon. Georgia" {" MT. New continued, "to take over the management of the Dinkler hotel of that city. He has been associated with me in the hotel business in Birmingham for nine years. and has been my right hand man in the management of the Motion hotel.

Half Million 5 Per Cent
 Bonds Bring Above Par.

7T7HE City of Birmingham nas
 4 right to be- proud of it's good credit Of the $775,000 bonds sold this week the proceeds Of $500,000 will be used for building the long projected auditorium. These bonds sold at a premium, and $275,000, to be used for improving the fire de- partment, brought par.
 Before the world war half million dollars would have paid for mag nificent edifice, but with the excess sive cost of material and the high scale of wages much larger fund will be needed and it is proposed to raise, the additional sum by private subscription in campaign organized in the Chamber of Commerce and led by Morris w.

But let's have three-quarters of a million dollar building and let's raise the supplemental fund as speedily as pos sible.
 An architect will begin promptly to draw the plans, and before the draftsmen will advance with ,he arichtect's plans it should be known just how much money will be avail fable. The selection of site will be an important matter. An advisory com mittee has been created to assist the City Commission in carrying out the auditorium enterprise. If the city could donate a site in one of the parks, so much the better. That would be equal to raising $100,0OO CT more in money for construction. If ground is broken for the audi torium within the next five or six months the building could be com plete by the fall of 1921--in time to open it with great music festival for which rehearsals are presently to begin.

T sincerely trust that the Church of the Advent will use it's best endea- vors to retain Dr. Middleton S. Barn. well as it's rector" said Arthur Crow der. Tt may not be becoming in one who is a member of another com rfunion to say this. but somehow I feel that the parson, as he is lovingly called by his friends, is doing service which is wider than that of his con gregation,. and this is not meant to minimize his great influence in the re- ligious life of the community; but some how Dr. Barnwell has been so active in every civic move that his removal to another city would be a distinct loss to the whole of Birmingham"

FEAST DAY IN RUSSIAN VILLAGE.

FEAST DAY IN RUSSIAN VILLAGE. Albert Rhys Williams, in the April Yale
 Review.
 from all the countryside around came the poor, the crippled. and the aged. Again and again we heard the tapping of a cane and plaintive voice asking aims radi Christa. for the Christ's sake Yanishev and l dropped a few kopecks into the bags they thrust before them The wom- en followed with large pieces cut from the big black loaves, while Ivan in each sack solemnly deposited a great green cucumber. This year cucumbers were scarce, so it was from Ivan true gift of love. But whether we gave cucumber came the plaintive sing-song blessing of the beggar. Even the toughest, poorest Russian peasant is moved to profound pity by the spectacle of human misery
 His own life teaches him the meaning of pain and prvation. But they do not dull ~his sympathy. They make him more sem sitive to the sufferings of others.
 Now from the farther end of the vil- lage came the strains of music There was a chorus of young voices accom- panied by the drumming of the bala- laika,. the changing of cymbals and the tl,robbing of the bouben kind of tam bourine. Clearer and clearer came the music until suddenly around the corner of the church emerged the procession of players and singers. The girls were in the gay rich costumes of the peasants. and the boys wore smocks of green and orange and brightest blue, belted by cords with tasselled ends. The instru- ments were in the hands of the boys. The girls sang in response to the pre- centor. He was a clean-looking, tousle- haired lad of r, one of the last to be drafted to the front In clear lusty voice with an abandon of emotion he sank an old folk song. adding new verses e his own as he trode along.
 Three times they circles the village green, and then gathering on the grass before the church. they sang and danced till morning The rush and joyous fling of the dancers. the flaming. colored cos tunes in the light of the pine torches. the laughter and snatches of song rising out of the dark, the young lovers with their caresses frank and unashamed, the church bell at intervals crashing like great temple gong, an dthe startled birds wheeling overhead made an impression of primitive energy and beauty. I wIs carried back across the centuries to She days when the race was young anS men 1rew life and inspiration directly from the soil.

uoWntoWn meetings on Saturuay night. This gives the singers, as well as the evangelist an opportunity to reach many people who do not attend
 church. The Home Board treasures
 among it's archives a series of pictures
 made here some years back taken on the street corners, which show the
 crowds and the interest in the serv- ices. There are men in Birmingham to-
 day who date their conversion from the
 cpen-air meetings.
 Personally l think the idea of simul- taneous meetings a good one. but in- stead of being limited to one denom-
 nation wish that all the Protest
 ant churches would arrange for a great campaign during the Lenten season I am aware that some of them take but little stock in special days or seasons, and rather shy at anything which tends to magnify them as looking to- wards Rome, and yet I fear they are missing great opportunity to lift up the Christ by magnifying his last days on earth. Another reason I wish it comes from the fact that the Catholic church uses the days from Ash Wednesday through
 Easter Sunday for special services in
 which there is special call to holy
 living. If Protestants and Catholics
 both used the Lenten period for the
 purpose of drawing men and women
 closer to the Savior it would give each
 community an opportunity to stress the
 importance of the teachings of the
 Master in all of its churches. and each
 individual chance to worship in the
 church of his choice. This may not
 rIease either Protestant or Catholic
 vet I make the suggestion because
 love every man who loves my Lord and
 am willing to leave to him the church in which he win serve Him.
