VICAR RETURNS TO

London, February 1.-(Reciprocal News Service 1.-The village of Rusper shame facedly attended the evensong service in their little parish church following the scquittal of their vicar, the Rev. Edward Synnott, at the consitory court
 The vicar had been accused by scrup woman of various immoral offenses, and the accusation, made in 1917. became a source of neighhorhood poison. The Vii- lage not only split into factions, but sup factions. Scandal festered on every tongue, and the vicar was by no means the only person touched by these erup- tions.

BIBLE TEACHER ID SPEAK ID WOMEN
Miss Taylor to Deliver Se- ries of Lectures at High
 lands Methodist Church

The well known Bible teacher Miss
 Angfe Manning Taylor, will speak Tuesday morning at II o'clock in the auditorium of Highlands Methodist Church to the women of Birmingham. This will be the first of a series of Bible lessons that Miss Taylor will con duet at the same hour and place each day for 10 days on Gods Plan for the Ages" Each lesson grows out of, and is built upon the one preceding, so that the complete course is desirable; yet each lesson is separate, and bears its own distinct message to those who cannot attend every day, for one hour.
 Many people in Birmingham remem- Der the spiritual insight concerning the deep truths of the Bible that were brought to them by Miss Taylor in her visits ten and four years ago to this city, when she came under the auspices of the Moody Bible Institute. Her first lessons were studied from the book of John; the second from various books of the Bible bearing on her sub ject. The Fundamentals. During this series her talks will be based on teach ing of the Bible from Genesis to Re- velation that reveal Gods Plan for the Ages"
 The short opening devotionals that will precede Miss Taylor's talks this week will be lead by Mrs. R. F. Hol- lingshed, Mrs. George Stuart, Miss An nit Williams, and Mrs. James Bowron. Mrs. Loren Jones, who, with her hus- band has been leading the music of the Bob Jones' revival will remain in Birmingham a few days for the pur- pose of attending Miss Taylor's classes, and will probably have charge of one of the devotional services.
 Miss Taylor comes to Birmingham in the interest of no one denomination, but in response to the urgent request of the Christian women of this city.
 No charges are made for the privi- leges of the messages that will be brought by this consecrated teacher, and a cordial invitation is extended all who wish to attend

Drop one Bon~Opto tablt in a fourth of a glass of water and allow to dissolve. With this liquid bathe the eyes two or four times daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflam- nation will quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering you, even little. take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved fl they had cared for their eyes in time
 NOTE: Another prominent Physician to whom the above article submitted saids "Bon-Opto is a very remarkable remedy Its cons stituent ingredients are well known to eminent eye specialists and widely prescribed by them The manufacturers guarantee It to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent in one week s time in many instances or refund the money. It can be obtained from any good druggist and IS one of the very few preparations l feel should be kept on hand for regular use in almost every family" It is sold in this city by all good druggists.

Since we have secured the money, which is the means to carry on our work, it would be a rebuke to us if we slack ened our efforts in this greatest of all purposes-the winning of souls into the kingdom.
 If Methodism will meet the conditions necessary for a revival, concluded Rev 1 Mr Hunter, earnestly, i've shall have such sweeping one as the world has 1 seldom seen, for we do not limit the power of the gospel to one church or one | community.

 ORGANIZATION OF WORK FRS

''The second essential for an organiza- tion of personal workers will mean that these facts will be utilized by them and that every person in the community will be given opportunity to lead the Christian life, whether he affiliates with the workers will be divided under leadership of captains, into bands, for various serv- ices in connection with the revival Some will undertake the fellowship work in the shops and homes, some will have care of the after-services, some will make ln- quiry and altar work their special in-
 terest, and others will do the follow up
 work which will gather the names of
 those who wish to join the church, the lists to be given over to the pastors of
 denominations for which they express preference.
 ''The third feature, that every pastor shall hold his own service, is necessary
 in most instances, insisted the cam paign director because it will be im-
 possible to get outside help for all, the churches for these simultaneous services. Our conference campaign plans are not for the purpose of taking any of the re-
 sponsibility from the pastor, but serve as an outline for organization of district and church campaigns. In order to carry
 these out effectively the Sunday school
 Epworth League, Women's Missionary societies will have definite share Tn prayer services, in keeping the pro gramme before their organizations, and in cooperating with the personal work CTS, as members of the church. The lay men will also have a part assigned and | the minute men will serve the congre- gations as they did daring the financial drive"
 will there be any special objective in 1 these campaigns beside alligning men with the Christian faith and listing them ] on the church registers of various de nominations?' was the inquiry
