First Presbyterian Church Records Show Useful and
 Long History Of Seuices
Founders Have All Passed Away, But Their Children and Later Coworkers Are Carrying Forward Great Constructive Work for Brmingh ham

By CAROLYN II. ELLIOTT

It isn't all imagination. It is quite true that not only every group of peo- pie stand for something definite in the social life of a community. but every building is suggestive of some poten- tial part in the veal or woe of city's development
 never pass the First Presbyterian Church that l do not think of the splendid groups of Christian people wfo have worshiped there through the years that have eome@and gone and of what these people have meant to the character building of a city in. the making.
 First Presbyterian Church was organ izeu, and it's history is interlinked with many steps of the city's progress, homes to this day, that numbers for Birmingham more than 100000 souls.
 Just orty-eight years ago this month our church was organized, with eight members" said Miss Anna Still man, the well-known secretary, who is so thoroughly acquainted with the progress of the various departments of work.

 "Of the eight original members, not one is living today, but two of our present membership, Mrs. J. B. Luckie anc Mr John Going. came in during the first year of our existence.

One of the important questions that Rwii. be presented at the Southern Bap- lust Convention now in session at Washington will be the moving of the |SoutherR Baptist Board of Womens s Missionary Associations from Baiti- more to some other southern city more centrally located.
 l. is considered in Baptist circles that the choice will be Atlanta, Nash Vile or Birmingham.
 A strong committee. headed by Mrs. w. l.. Rosamond, Is attending the con- vention for the purpose of presenting the advantages of Birmingham for headquarters and the Baptists of this city are encouraged by the large fol- lowing who will be influential in bringing the southern board here. Among the Birmingham visitors at tending the convention In the same in- terest are Mrs. T. G. Bush. Mrs. Pey- ton Euban6, Mrs. M. E. Meade, Mrs. J E.. billiard, Mrs. J. D. Glenn and Miss Annie Williams.
 Such was the information given yes- terday by Mrs. B. A. Inglis, superin- teadent of the Woman's Missionary Union of the Birmingham Baptist As sociation, who is widely known and be- loved for her unfailing interest in church activities.
 Mrs Inglis has been a student of the history of the woman's mission arv work of her church and gives an ! ccount of it's development in the in Tteresting sketch thas follows:
 Said Mrs. Inglis:
 One great principle of Baptist churches is their independence of each other. Each church s a separate unit.

 following the gospel of Jesus Christ
 and the democratic government as
 outlined in the New Testament. The pul pose and motive power of the con- vention in Washington (said to be the largest religious gathering in the world) is to form plans to carry out the great commission given by Jesus Christ.
 "Go ye into all the world and preach
 the gospel to every creature"
 ''The first churches were formed
 around a great missionary ideal. One
 writer has said that before there was 9
 church, there was Missionary Society.
 Tt is gratifying to reflect that Carey
 Judson and Rice, all Baptists, with mis-
 sionary societies behind them, brought
 the churches back to their real reasor for existence. And now for over cen
 tury such societies have grown, and wltf
 their growth church have taken on new life and usefulness.
 '"The past year has been one of vast achievement for them, and the meeting ir Washington will be one of victory ant thanksgiving. Great things were at tempted. and great things were accom- plshed.s They had set themselves thu task of raising $75,O0o0O0 for missions t' Abe paid in five years. When the las Icount was taken close to s100,0o0,0O0 wal found to have been subscribed. Tht .AWoman's Missionary Union of the Soutf Twas asked for one-fifth of the amount Needless to say they responded to th' request.

members are the sons and daughters of those who toiled to plant a church in the heart of a new town, and had the vision to buy the site and erect the building in use today. From this mother church all the Pres byterian churches of Birmingham have gone out and the history of it shows it's membership has waxed and waned as each group left to start a new organiza- tion.
 Tt is record of which to be proud Miss Stillman concluded and should be an inspiration to us to go forward to bigger things to prove that the faith of our fathers was not in vain, and that we are worthy of their mantle.
 That the First Presbyterian Church is going forward is proven by the greater accomplishments each years record marks, where every department is alive and responsive to the calls of the com munity and the larger world.
 Each sermon the pastor, pr. John A. MacSporran, preacher, applies to every day living, "commented an enthusiastic member.
 That is one reason his congregations grow from week to week. Those who at tend the services are thoughtful people who come to receive message to help them live during another work-a-day week. and they never go away disap- pointed.

The Nashville morning papers were
being delivered on the streets by z

Promptly on the arrival of the
truck and the working of the mail the
truck to Centreville by way of Will

ed in Centreville by 8 o'clock. The
truck from Lewisburg came by Culleo-
ka and Glendale without mishap.
Not only does this line serve all of
Columbia and it's routes, Glendale and
Culleoka and their routes, but the
mail for Spring Hill and Carter's
Greek is dispatched on the accommo-
dation and arrives in time to go out
over their rural routes. OF course
there will be some disappointment for
a few days as all of the mail for the
county will not be routed so as to
