s10O,OO0 RAISED FOR INDEPENDENT
 CHURCH ED|F|CE
At Congregational Meeting Members of Independent Presbyterian Church
 Decide to Build
 Immediately
of Birmingham, Ala Statement February 2sth. 1920

Dr. Henry M Edmonds is not going to leave Birmingham.
 There is not going to be disbanding or joining forces with any other de- nomination or congregation, but within a very short time work will be commenced on handsome church building which will be dedicated to God by the Inde- pendent Presbyterian Church of this city
 This was all decided Sunday morning at Tempel Emanu-El when the hundreds of members of the church met in a con- gregational meeting. And over one hun dred thousand dollars was raised as a starter
 The meeting was a very serious one. It was not characterized by the sen sational and demonstrative that fre- quently accompanies such an occasion. Talks from Dr Edmonds and a number of the prominent members seemed to have stirred every single individual to feeling of sacred responsibility. And as the first glimmers of certainty began to break through the indecision of the past four wears every heart began beating with renewed loyalty, love, devotion. and consecration to the great cause and purpose behind it all.
 
 stated that the Independent Presby- terian Church had grown remarkably and satisfactorily from the original member ship of 189 to near the one thousand mark. He said that the nature of the work of the church had justified it's ex- istence so far. He spoke of the men and women who were in the church now who never before had been affiliated with any church, of the community preaching the church had introduced, of the social work it had done.
 Quoting from other ministers of the city, Dr. Ednonds said that the Inde- pendent Presbyterian Church was cred- tied with having liberalized the preaching of the Bible. that it had socialized church life. that it had stirred to activity many congregations and strengthened many, pulpits in Birmingham.
 But with the erection of home. it was pointed out that there will come into the life of the church such loyalty. such spiritual activity as will give birth to works which will far surpass all of the robe deeds and missions so far com pleted and fulfilled by the organization which has been worshipping in rented quarters. And on the faces of the mem bers of the large congregation assembled Sunday was written a strange, stern re- solve to lay to and do and to see the thing through to it's final good and glory.
 The committee on raising the remain der of the funds said that their job would be easy after the meeting of Sun day morning It is expected that the tctal necessary amount to begin on. s200 : GOO, will be payable now, the remainder 10 be paid during 1921. It has not been definitely decided where the building will be erected. But the architects are ready.
 Last summer they made a trip with members of the building committee to many of the outstanding churches of the east and north. and since that time have worked out the complete plans for the Independent Presbyterian Church now and a hundred years from now.

tertained on Wednesday afternoon by
an original poem by Mrs. Josiah
Trout, who has won a reputation as
poetess, entitled, "Potpourri," and
an address by the Hon. Josiah Grout
on, Government Problems" Mr..
Circuit spoke on the eight years of
reconstruction following the Civil
war and the problems involved; the
lottery evil, the drink evil and the
negro question. He compared the
present period of reconstruction and
showed the difference in the problems
of today: Socialism, communism, boil
shevism and societism, as he called it,
and the future problem that Russia
presents. He talked on the long
seige of the Peace conference in Par
is and the mistakes made there He
pointed out the cause of the loss of
prestige by the United States among
the allied nations. He also spoke on
the problem of capital and labor and
unlonlsm,s place in the question. He
compared the present condition of the
negroes and the educational advan-
tages that make them the EQUALS of
the whites, and discussed the prob
lem OF the future, the status of the
colored man and how is it to be dealt
with? This very interesting and in.

Newport
Mayor Gardner Will Accept Reelection

An editorial appeared in the jan
uary 10th issue of The Newport News
headed "City Politics" In this artl-
Gle we tried to convey to the public
few of the reasons why some OF
the business men of the city were
urging Mayor James I. Gardner to
continue another year as Mayor.
Since this article appeared the de-
mand for Mr.. Gardeners reelection
has continued to increase and to fully
convince Mr.. Gardner that the splen-
did service given the city the past
year is needed another year, articles
of appreciation for the past service
and endorsing him forr reelection
at the next city meeting, signed by
nearly rs of Viewpoints business men
was presented to the Mayor on Thurs
day and the smile that it brought to
Jim's face convinced all that if it was
the city's call to service he would
stand by the ship.
Had time permitted, this list OF
endorsers could have been more than
doubled, as many of those who are
his hearty supporters were not ap-
preached.
