To announce the personnel of the choir at the Highlands Methodist C'hurch ia 70 prophecy that the congregation at Five Poin,s Will enjos the iaus,c mat W.n oe a1 attractive feature of every service during the winter months.
 Here~'th is t''e onoouneement which will mean the fulfllment of prophecy in the face that Mfs sara llunl Vann is organist: Mrs. T. l.. Bissell. director Mrs. H. l.. Burnett. contralto; MT. Owen Gillespy. tenor, nd Mir, T. l.. Bissell bass.
 With Mrs. Yam as organist and ac- companist our quartette shas splendid background. As accompanist she is always with you, commented Mrs Bis sell, the director of the choir.
 Not only technically with you.' but in spirit for Mrs. Nann's never failing sympathy in accompaniment has gained the admiration of those who have been fortunate enough to hear her
 Each year for the four years since l have directed the choir. | have tried to select good solo voices as well as those that blend beautifully in uuartette and l have never been more pleased with the result than I am this season." further commented Mrs Bssell
 Many other members of Highlands Church have expressed their pleasure in the quality and blessing of the voice of this duartette. With Mrs. Vann's ac- compartment Rs the admirable back ground Mir. bisselps full bass furnishes the foundation for the auartette that blends with Mrs Burnetts rich con tralto. with the mellow tones ot Owen Gillespys sympathetic tenor and which seems like clear bird song to soar with out effort above the heavy cares of earth.''

cal reports, and to plans of the four divisions known as the Mobile, the North Alabama, the Tusca loosa and East Alabama presbyterials.
 The interests of both home and for gn missions will be given importa nj place on the programme, as will the the prayer life of the auxliaries, the the financial reports will be considered home and foreign work. Christian edu- cation, and ministerial relief
 REORGANIZATION
 The meeting in November will be of special interest Since the first plans looking toward the organization of the Alabama synodical were made twelve years ago in the historic First Presbyte- rian Church of Birmingham. The result ago in the historic First Presbyterian church of Birmingham. The result was the state organization the fol- lowing year in Mobile.
 Mrs. John B. Knox of Anniston, who called the first meeting together. who was present at the organization in 1880 was elected first president of the synodical. The two presidents who succeeded her were Mrs. W. C. Frettsr Of Dothan and Mrs. J, w Bruce, who having been twice reelected Is the present executive.
 HIS PUkPOSE
 The purpose of the organization, fro n the beginning has been to unify as nearly as possible the work of the four prcsbyterials of the state. The synodi- cal now represents the presbyteria!s V hich in turn. represent the individual societies.
 Because of such united purpose. the work of the synodical since organiza- ton. has shown remarkable develop n.ent. under direction of the woman's advisory committed. until today it' is one of the great factors in the work of the cou'hern presbv'ari,n church
 HERE NEXT MONTH
 It is expected that the meeting here next month will be one of the largest ir attendance and in promotion of missionary activity that has ever been held in the history of the Woman's Synodical Auxiliary of Alabama

and the number one superinten lent like MT. F. F. Ballard, and don't think the quality of work done by this school can be excelled anywhere Probably one reason for Dr. McLcs- keys remarkable success as a pas tor and before that as an evangelist. is not only the gift that is his, of being an eloquent speaker but that he also has the gift of bringing the sermon into the everyday life of his hearers, and of applying apt illustra- tons from the ordinary things which men know about and with which thay come in frequent contact. An example of this is the fire engine sermon de- livered recently. which the pastor of tEe First church. Rev. H. T. Walton. reviews as follows:
 THE TEXT
 ''The preachers text" said Dr. Wal ton was from James 3-5, Behold what great matter little fire kindfeth.H
 In outlining the sermon, Dr. Walton continued:
 ''Dr. McLeskey compared sin to fire Just as little spark may be famed into a flame which will prove disas- ftrous, even so sin, though small in the beginning, will accomplish untold de- struction.
 Fire is indiscriminate. It will burn the handsomest homes or take the life of our dearest loved one. Sin, likewise. will wreck the happiest home and shatter the hopes of those whom we love.
 The minister pictures before his Hear CTS how anxious the fire horses are to make the run when the fire alarm sounds, '~said Dr. Walton. 'He coveted the same earnest desire for church mem bers to fight the flames of sin.
 LITTLE DIFFERENCE
 Not much difference between a church and fire department" Dr. Walton quoted from the evangelist's sermon: '"The fire department is fighting fire here and the church is fighting it hereafter.
 Some people get into the way of the department while making a run" he said, "and some of us get in the way of the church.
 ''The fire horse sacrifices the pleasures of the pasture and living a life of rest in order to serve, in order to rescue the perishing from the flames,p he continued. So it is that Christians who would serve others must not live lives of ease. and selfish indulgence in the pasture of sin, but must stay within the narrow limits of the stall of consecration.
 Many kinds of engines fight the same fire, in hearty cooperation, but all are dependent upon the same central supply station.
 COOPERATION
 50 all churches can cooperate in fight ing sin, as all are dependent upon Gods great power house.
 Not long ago fireman gave his life for others" Dr. Walton quoted Jesus Christi fighting the flames of sin, gave his life for me and for you
 At the end of this sermon an appeal was made to the congregation that re- suited in nine who gave their names for church membership. and others who ex- pressed desire to lead the Christian life.
 As the services al il o'clock this morn ing and at this evening are the last that will be conducted by Dr. McLeskey, a large congregation is expected at each hour A cordial invitation is extended the public to attend.

DIR. STUART WILL.

Johnson of Eleventh avenue, south, who has been ap- pointed to a church in Louisville: of the Rev. P E. Well of Highlands, who will probably fill the pulpit of an important church in a Texas City; of the Rev. D. K. Pegues of Twenty-first avenue. who, has been called to Broadway Church; Louisville.

 The membership of the First Methodist Church have received assurance from Bishop Cannon that Dr. stuart will re- main as pastor of this important charge.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-10-24

Our first thought in all our selections is to have them appropriate and fitting for the sermon said Mrs. Bissell. "We wish to leave the thought that the min ister brings to the congrega ton, un- broken, and to have the music add inspi- ration to his message For this reason, at Highlands church we are attempting to make the musical programme of every service attractive. without laying great stress on music for special occasions.
 However, she added, "at the Thanks giving season special numbers will be presented. and cantata will be given a. some time during the chtistmas holi- days.
 RECITALS
 "Our choir has also been requested to have charge of one of the recitals that will be given this winter under auspices of the Music Study Club.
 "At the church services each Sunday we are planning a programme of organ music with Mrs. Yam in charge fifteen minutes before the regular time for open ing" Mrs, Bissell continued. Since the installation of the electric motor in the organ the improvement is marked she added The tones are mel low and beautiful. and since the remod- cling of the church that improved the acoustics. our instrument seems perfect l,- adapted to the auditorium. At the morning service today the musi- cal programme will consist of the open ing anthem. Send Out Thy Light" by Ganod; of the offertory by Gunod. "Gra. cious Spirit, Holy Ghost" and of the anthem, Radiant Morn Has Passed Away by the Rev. H. H. Woodward. The evening offertory will be, "The Path os the Just" by Harker.
