LAUNCHING OUR SHIP"
 SERMON BY DIR. MACSPORRAN


 At the First Presbyterian Church Sun day morning Dr. J., A. MacSporran preached from the text And when He had left speaking He said unto Simon, launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a draft p
 In his introduction Dr. MacSparran spoke of the pride of the citizens of Bir- mingham in the launching in Mobile of the great ocean-going ship that will bear the name we love to the ends of the earth-"The City of Birmingham" He spoke of how ship on the high seas stirs our blood and thrills our imagina- tion, how 1t connects us with other lands and widens our horizon.
 He then compared a ship in the deep to the church of the living God, and urged his hearers to '1eave the shore and the shadows behind and sail out Into the far, deep waters of life''
 "I call not those whose motto is safety first" who do not want to forego the comforts and share the risks and pay the price of a long. hard adventurous voyage. Your ship for the high seas is not measured by what appears on the surface. but by what is hidden below the water line How great is her displace- ment? That is the question to ask of every ship and of every church Does our love for the Lord Jesus Christ so grip and move us that it Is powerful enough to crowd out competing interests? What proportion of our time. our money and our energy will we devote to this su- preme enterprise. You know your life is already crowded. You have a place for every cent of your money, for every hour of your time. Christ can only get in as you make place for Him. No Christian can ever launch out into the deep with Jesus who does not clear the way and give Him the first call and the first claim on his life.
 '1he trouble with the modern church is that so many of her people are frittering away their lives. The things they are giv- ing their lives to are not evil or eross Indeed most of them are quite harmless. They are having good time in a decent respectable way. The trouble is they al- low these things to crowd ont better and higher things. The measure of an evil is the amount Of good it aisplacne To it. lustrate there is certainly no harm to sit in an easy chair In your own home for an hour. But if you choose the hour for ease and comfort the time when God ex- poets you to meet with Him in His house, you displace the higher interest. We are fishing along the shores of 8 great opportunity. when we might be doing business in great waters. If we would only launch out and risk some thing, if we would cut loose and sail for great high seas. Then the world would have what it needs above everything else just now, not talking church. but a doing church, people whose deeds come near being a commensurate with their profession.
 Let us come to know our Captain and we will then gladly say. At Thy word, Q Lord, we will launch out Thy chart and compass and the Morning Star will be our guides, the gospel of salvation will be our cargo. and we will carry 1t to the ends of the earth and we will count 1t the highest privilege and honor to have any humble place in thy cause.

Brief Account Of Sermons
 Preached AtLocaZ Churches

1 selves have passed upon the matters in question: their findings are passed on to this committee. (See page 39 con- ference text book.) The very genius of the Baptist churches make it impos- sible for us to organically unite with any such movement.
 Again, we object to the general plan and procedure of those who seem to be in authority. While we are told that it is not directed toward the or- ganic union of denominations, we note that in their literature and in their public addresses, there is a constant belittling of denominational efforts and constant reference to the in- expedieney and needless extravaganza of demoninational overlapping. We are told that there ought to be and will be a council composed of official representatives of the various denomi- nations to pass upon unevangelized and unchurched neighborhoods. Bap- lists will never stand for this They believes in union of effort and of spirit and they also wish that there might be an organic union of all Christian forces but they want 1t upon Scriptua1 grounds and not upon grounds of ex- pediency and economy. They are as much opposed to commercialized re- ligion as they are to commerciaIized vice.
 We would not have it thought that we question the good motives and the high ideals of the brethren who con ceived this movement, but frankly, the plan does not commend itself to South ern Baptists and does not fit in with their general plan of doing things and their programme which has been worked out in much detail.
 We would pray the blessings of God upon our brethren of all faiths and bid them God speed in their efforts to advance the kingdom"

 Five large storage bins now nearly completed are of poured concrete, lined throughout with sheet iron, and have a capacity of 1900 tons of coal. When filled they will be hermetically sealed from the air, which will prevent slack ing and deterioration. These bins will be filled and held for emergency to adequately care for the local trade in case Of strikes. car shortage or other reason that might delay transporta- tion and which so often have arisen, leaving Phoenix without adequate coal supply for days at a time.

Clothing makers strikes and the high costs of cloth, the tailors say, will keep the funny doodads and gingerbread of yore from coats.
 In some cities there will be widen ing of trousers pockets, to conform with the tendency toward ''every pants it's own cellar" In other sections, more arid, the pockets may entirely disap- pear. There's be room in the sleeves for the handkerchief.
 But jammed in the skillful language and the gushing grammar of the trade journals there is deadly propaganda.
 They aim low, lads. at the cuff of our pants.
 There will be a gradual narrowing of the cuffs this season and by the summer of 1921 we may look for the abolishment of the cuff, says one mag aZine.

LANDMARKS IF EARLY PHOENIX DAYS MAKE
 WAY FOR WAREHOUSE

Old landmarks of Phoenix are giving way to a modern two-story warehouse in the block between First and Center streets on Jackson street. H. P. De- Mund, president of the Citizens State bank. is having the new building erected at an approximate cost of S125,O00.
 Several old buildings were torn down to make way for the new structure, in- cluding the Star lodging house, once renowned as the finest hotel in the city, later winning notoriety as a fast re- sort and finally. relapsing into a cheap lodging house. The old home of Judge John H. Campbell of Tucson and resi- dences of other early Arizona states men also occupied the place where ex- cavating for the new building is now progressing.
 Only steel and concrete will be used in the construction of the new build ing. making it absolutely fireproof. There will be three floors, two above the ground and basement. When completed there will be more than 90, 900 square feet of floor space, large part of which will be occupied by the Arizona Hardware Supply company. The building will measure 120x250 feet. It will be modern throughout, the equipment including three elctric ele- vatorS and several carriers.
 About two- -fifths of the building which will not be occupied by the Ari- zona Hardware Supply company will be rented later. Mir. DeMund expects to have the building completed by Oc- tober. A. w. Gregg has charge of the work.
