DR. LAzENbY JOINS
 PUBLICITY STAFF
 OF THE ADVOCATE
Long Connected With North Alabama Conference-WiII Assist in Directing ReIigi-
 ouS Literature
BY CAROLYN E. ELLIOTT

Probably no city in the south has gath-l cred stronger body of ministers of all denominations than has Birmingham Al distinct acquisition to this body of men, to Methodism in Alabama and to the reli-, gious life of Birmingham is Rev. E. NJ, Lazenby, who arrived last week from Demopolis to assume his duties as asso- ciate editor of the Alabama Christian Advocate.
 At the session of the North Alabama conference the editor of the Advocate. Dr. l.. c. Branscomb, accepted appoint ment as conference secretary of educa- tion, thereby assuming responsibilities that will require much of his time away from the editorial office. In the ab- sence of the senior editor, the interests of this publication will be- fostered and developed by pr. Lazenby, who is ac- quainted with religious literature through his publicity work in the Ala bama conference and through his exper- ence as editor in chief of the magazine review and bulletin of Southern univer- sity.
 A graduate of this university in 19O7,, pr. Lazenby is still a young man, with an optimistic regard for the opportuni- ties presented the church through uss of the religious and secular press. Hsl believes the columns of the papers should be utilized to forward the great busi-' ness of the church as these are used to forward the business of merchant or a manufacturer.
 Since college days Dr. Lazenbys ex- perience in the ministry has included service as a missionary in Cuba, asl chaplain during the war period at Camp Sheridan, and as pastor of residential churches in the Alabama conference.
 Although he regrets leaving the work of the regular pastorate, Dr. Lazenbyi answers this third call to the religious publications desk with enthusiasm. In forwarding the interests of the church. through publicity, he will render large service to 30,000 subscribers and to ths two conferences of Alabama

The appearance of the group of solo singers with Miss Betty Gilmore, harp ist, and MT. Klenk, violinist, will be a treat for the audience. and will mark the first appearance of this semi chorus.
 The combination of the voices with harp, violin and organ, as the instru- mental background is most gratifying and the numbers selected afford splen- did opportunity for tonal effects and color.
 MONTHLY PROGRAMMES
 It was October that Mrs. Rice gave the first of the recitals that have been so largely attended on Sunday even- ings of each month at the First Pres byterian church. In addition to the regular monthly programmes, the di rector has planned special numbers that have always proved attractive at every Sunday evening service.
 That both the monthly programmes and the special numbers will be con- tinued throughout the new year is just another evidence of Mrs. Rice's enthusiasm in helping to make Br- mingham city of music loving peo pie. She is among those whose unsel- fish service established the worth while musical standards that are being developed in this city today. From HcI SluucHl udyS III INeW IOIk, Suc came home in 1909 with ideals for Bir- mingham that are beginning to be realized now.
 EVENING SERVICE
 In speaking of the services this evening Mrs. Rice said: 'I have met with a hearty response from all the musical people whom I have asked to assist the quartet in making our music varied and interesting. So when I ap- preached the chairman of the Treble Clef, Mrs. T. D. Randle, in reference to the semi-chorus. she was very en- thusiastic and willingly agreed to have them sing.
 T have always loved the Treble Clef chorus as a whole" continued Mrs. Rice, "and this small chorus chosen from the big club will appear from

Kettles bright--say. who can pass
 A kind, clear-eyed Salvation lass?
 They appeared on the streets yes terday-the Salvation Army lassies-' with their joy bells to ring out the glad news that the Christmas kettles were waiting to be filled with Christ mas happiness for somebody. Perhaps that somebody is one who is forsaken. and poor; perhaps he is somebody who is sick or fin mighty hard luck; per haps somebody who would be forgot ten if these Christmas offerings were not dropped into the kettles by those who pass the corners of the business sections dozens of times q day. Dur ing the next two weeks each one who passes will be given opportunity to drop in a Christmas offering, and in his heart of hearts each one will hope that these little kettles will be boiling over with dollars and dimes that will buy dinners for all the some ebodies who need such Christmas cheer. Warm clothes, too--shoes for little bare feet and coats for little cold backs
 This is what becomes of the kettle money" Every penny of it is ex- pended by the Salvation Army for re- lief of the poor.
 The superintendent of relief, Mrs. SimonSon, moves into her otflce at the Lyric building tomorrow morning, and from her headquarters will be sent out the gifts from the public who respond to the call of the Christmas bells.
 Rows and rows of baskets filled with "eats" and Christmas dinners will be distributed by Mrs. Simonson and her corps of workers among the poor families of the city. After thorough canvass, this distribution will be made on Christmas eve. The day following, Santa Claus will come to the boys and girls who attend the Salvation Army Christmas tree. A real Christmas day it will be, too, when the tree will be ablaze with the brightest of candles and great star will be glowing in re- membrance of the one that guided wise men to a stable and the cradle of the Christ child.
 Tinkle, tinkle little bell
 Joyous Christmas tidngs tell,
 Ring your song-just once each year
 Sing somebody's Christmas cheer.

Unique Hospital
9th Av. Structure To Be Only
One of Kind in World:
Offices for Doctors to
Receive Own Patients

~ hospital. which will be the only
one of its Kind in the world, is being
ouats In this city on Fifth Avenue be-
tween 105th and 106th streets facing
SenSral Park. 1t will be known as
sne Slfht Avenue Hospital and will be
ene' successor to the Hahnemann Hos
pital and the Laura Franklin Free
Hospital for Children both of which
nave outgrown their present head
quarters.
The new Fifth Avenue Hospital
which will be ready for occupancy
July l, 1921, will be nine stories and
have 300 rooms. Because of the X
shaped plan of structure all will be
outside rooms. The entire elimination
OF the old time ward system is one of
the innovations of the hospital One
nall of the bed capacity will be for
the free or partially free use of the
public.
Back of the new project is the cul-
mination of the ideal that man or
woman of average income, heretofore
unable to afford the privacy and COM
Tort of a private room because of its
prohlbltive expense, may be able to
come to place where, for a nominal
outlay, or no outlay at all, he or she
Will receive treatment apart from all
other patients.
The adoption of this plan is due to
DR.. Wiley E. Woodbury.. whose exper-
iience in hospital work includes admin
istration Of the U. S. Government hos
pital at Manila, the Mayo Brothers
Hospital at Rochester, Mimi, and the
Base Hospital at Camp Upton during
the war He is the present director Of
the Hahnemann Hospital.
The new hospital will contain COM
plete nurses home and each nurse will
have furnished room. For them there
will be library and reception parlors
whore weekly dances will be held

floor will relieve the nurses of much
unnecessary work
The entire first floor of the hospital
will be devoted to Offices for physicians
Each office will have a private en-
trance and private patients thus will
avoid any hospital atmosphere and the
physician will be able to continue his
practice while remaining at the insti-
tuition ready for any emergency call.
The officers of the new hospital are:
