a meeting of the board, to assist in all lotting budget of more tslan s2,0O0 900 in the interests of the Presbyterian Ch1rch, U. S. A.
 It was Mir. Cosby's class in Sunday school, and the class of W. F. Tyler, who bought the lot ana built a church in Hiroshima, Japan, and who are now contributing to the support of the pas tor of this church, the Rev. J. w. Here ford, Presbyterian missionary to the orient.
 Two other names appreciated by the local church and the Presbyteries are those of Joe c. Hail and o. L. stephen son. Mr. Hail is teacher of the brother hood class of the Sunday school, and was elected recently by the Birmingham Presbytery commissioner ts the gen. eral assembly which meets in Philadel- phia in May.
 CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR
 MT. Stephenson's name in the early days was connected prominently with Christian Endeavor work He is now serving as chairman of membership com mttee of the church and as moderator of the Birmingham Presbytery
 Many other interesting nanxis are found on the roster of the Fifth Avenue Church, none of which is better known than that of pr. Lola Taylor superintendent of the adult department of the Susday school
 This, by the way, is the oldest adult department in the city, the eldest in the state, and maybe the oldest iE the United States The Rev. J S. Bridges was it's organizer more than twenty years ago. T big banquet is being plannsd in honor of this department the first of May, when class F will entertain all the adult mem bers, and the banquet board will be spread for 200 guests.
 SUNDAY SCHOOL The Sunday school during the past year has grown to such proportions that the old manse is being used for classes in beginners and primary departments It the social functions of the church. The Sunday school is supported entirely by the church, the idea being that the church should furnish the tools of liter ature to free the Sunday school for mis- sionary work. In this way every pupil of the school is trained in the missionary spirit.
 The women's societies of She church are careful to cultivaet the same spirit. Only last Monday meeting was neld by the societies, the Pastors Aid, the Guild and the Womans Missionary So- ciety to consider merging the three into one strong band of missionary workers
 Through the days gone by to this good day of the beginning of a new fiscal year. the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church has fulfilled great mission in the re- ligious life of this city, and has mani fested generous spirit of cooperation with other denominations in that has forwarded the looming of the Kingdom.

THE GENERAL CONFERENCE
 AN AUTOCRACY

The trend of the world toward democ- racy has become tidal wave. Autocracy. despotism. tyranny is not confined to gov@ ernments under the control of a single
 ruler or of few men. Any supreme un- controlled authority is anti-republican iS an autocracy. This constitution provides for general conference supreme in it's legislative powers supreme in it's execu- tive powers, and so all-inclusive as to be practically free from judicial control. In addition, once adopted. the annual confer- ences will be without legislative, execu- tive or final judicial voice. They will not need to be consulted. No man famil4 far with our last seven general confer1 ences needs to be told that general con- ference is impatient of control. indeed resents constitutional limitations of any kind. Certainly from 1866 and for years beyond our general conference seems to have had the purpose to solve any doube Of it's power by referring legislation to the annual conferences, yet again and again it acted without authority, as maN
 be seen on pages 4S3 and following of tha journal of 1914 in report of the College of Bishops to that general conference. Ot the many questions referred since ls6s to the annual conferences. the writer res calls but three that have become law. Un- der the proposed constitution there could be no question of the legal warrant on the general conference to take final and DlnulHe dcllOn. 1ne tniIlttiti Spcttittst- ton of powers following the general grant says ito govern any and all othef matters of a connectional character If there be on earth any bodx so su- preme and all-controllng as this proposed general conference the writer is ignorant of it. No state legislature has even an approach to such supreme powers nor has Congress, nor has the House of Come mons It is not too much to say to ap1 one familiar with constitutional law and history that this constitution leads to re olution, or to disaster, or to both. Noth- l ing is easier than to be an alarmist, ex- cept to be blind to manifest danger. Op- position to this plan of unifcation drew from an adherent of it the not very charis 1 table charge of opposition to unificatiol on any terms Men accustomed to cau1 tion. to weighing probabilities. to bring} l ing proposed solutions to the acid test of history to the application of recogs nized maxims and eternal principles. arc seldom understood by those who are sd intent on the accomplishment on a de- 1 sired end that they lose sight of ths means wisely adapted 10 tho attainment of that end. Examination of this const4 ttution gives ample reason for six opposl lfng votes as well as for it's transmissioa ! without a word of recommendation. and
