 The enthusiasm of the members has been realized during the evangelistic cam paign that will be closed with the morn- ing and evening services today. These meetings have been in charge of the pre- siding elder, Rev. Robert Echols, and the pastor. The campaign was a. part of the centenary standard plan that Walker Me morial Church has followed closely since the Methodist Centenary was launched fifteen months ago. The direction of the movement that has proven so satisfac- tory to this local church, was in thel hands of Mr. K. F.. Cooper, lay leader of the church. As a preliminary of the re- vival. survey was made of the com munity by the teams who conducted ths financial drive of the centenary last sum- mer. From this information was gained the objective of the revival. For several weeks, every family in the church has' received series of personal letters lay ing out particular phases of the work, assigning posts of duty, and giving de- tailed direction. A picked list of ovefI forty personal workers spent two Sun-l day afternoons carrying personal mes-s sages to the community. The music has been one of the attractive features of thel revival with chorus of fifty voices.

 salaries are pafa by the Home Mission Board You can readily see" he ex- plained. how this liberates the evan eelistic worker and leaves him free to put his best efforts into his work, without any worry about his own live lhood. It also frees him from the criticism often made against evangel- ists when collections are taken, for all our collections go direct to the Homt Mission Board. This in itself is really a good appeal for gifts.
 Another point in favor of our method is that it enables us to send our strong , gifted men to even the weakest mission points in our territory An example of this was last December, when Mr. James W. Jelks, who is one of our gifted singers, went with me to Panama, where he remained until February.
 We are looking for results as gratify- ing in Birmingham as we have just ex- perienced in other parts of the country, '' Dr. Hamilton rejoiced. Tn the two cam paigns recently held, in San Antonio, Texas, and Shreveport, La. there were nearly 1000 additions to Baptist churches and many volunteers for life service We emphasize particularly in our campaigns life service, tithing, family altars and Bible reading. In Shreveport, at one church, before our campaign closed 17,00C chapters of the Bible had been read by
 our congregations in two weeks time
 We always request as many as will to
 read the New Testament through in the two weeks of our campaign. Last Sun- day, when Mir Jelks asked how many
 had read the Bible before attending serv- ice, ninety-eight chapters were counted but on Monday evening when the same

CATHOLIC NOTES

Easter Sunday the festival of the resur- rection of our Lord from the dead, is cele-
 brated by the Catholic Church as the first and greatest solemnity of the Christian
 year. For here it is the Feast of
 Feasts"
 The word Easter is of pagan origin,
 but, by coincidence of dates, has been
 by the Teutonic races preserved to de-
 vote the feast of the resurrection In other languages a word is employed de- rived from the term Pasch or Passover,
 the Jewish festival typical of our Eas-
 ter during the days of celebration of
 which our Lord was crucified and rose from the dead.
 Though the Pasch of the Old Testa-
 ment might fall on any day of the week, the Catholic Church, in the first centuries of the Christian era, laid down that Eas-
 ter must always be kept on Sunday that
 followed the full moon of the March equi- nox. Hence the somewhat complicated
 calculation each year of it's date The earliest possible Easter day is March 22d,
 the latest, April 18th.
 The distinctive features of the Easter rite apart from the elaborate adorning of the church and altars is the constant repeating of the word "Alleluia," the He brew shout of joy. The Paschal candle, blessed on holy Saturday, is lighted on Sundays and holy days during Easter time, and, in primitive days, the. newly baptised converts of the year attendeo the church at Easter clad in white robes, which they did not lay aside until the Sunday following.
 Easter has. in the Catholic liturgy, this distinction, that. whereas the keeping or other even of the highest festivals terml- mates on the eighth day of their cele bra tion that of Easter lasts for the full fl1ey ,lo hat if and PpDtaCOSt. During all this time the services or the church are of an altogether joyous char acter and the ahants appointed continu' l ally recall our Lords triumph over death-the pledge of the eternal happiness

 In every city where these programmes es are given the singers are greeted by audiences that fill the churches to over- flowing.
 Among the many tributes paid the "sunshine singer" who travels over the south with his co-workers in the interest of evangelistic campaigns, is this approval clipped from the Record a daily paper of Jackson, Miss, which says
 -*The revival services would not have been so effective without the soul stirring leadership of MT. James w JelHs, who led the singing. As a solo, ist, he moves them to song.

Nelos of the Chmches and Religious Activities
Walker Memorial Doing
 Some Excellent 7ean1 Work

Speaking of churches that accomplish things-there's Walker Memorial" said a prominent Methodist to me a few days ago. who. by tho way. is not member of the Methodist Church whose spirit he praised.
 The way of it all? A wide-awake pas tor, always "on the job" and a wide awake congregation lon the job too. They think a great deal of each other Rev. A. M. Freeman arid his congrega- tion. They are loyal friends to each other, and true friends to every worthy cause that needs friend.
 Good hustlers too, they are," insisted the admirer who doesn't belong to them, but who goes across town sometimes for the privilege of attending their services. The fact is, that church has been one of the busiest institutions of the city for the past year. he reminded. And then it was my privilege to hear of a regular campaign of building that has been go- ing on for the past year--first the com pietion of q beautiful parsonage attrac- lively furnished and then the erection of the new church. Rather the beginning of this erection, for the walls are now ready for the wide roof that will cover an imposing church edifice of this city. Sep tember 1 is the date that has been set for the completion of the building, and the members of the congregation are standing shoulder to shoulder with Mir. A. c. Montgomery. chairman of the build ing committee, and with MT. John B. Far rell, who is secretary and purchasing agent, while Mir. Nobinger, as foreman of construction, is bringing a large share to it's successful completion.
 ''The parsonage was financed entirely by the Woman's Missionary Society of which Mrs. l.. s. Evins is president with Mrs c. l.. Hagan serving as director of local work
 Now don't you think chimed in a second good friend of Walker Memorial" the members of that society have ex- hibited unusual determination? Not only have they built one of the handsomest parsonages in North Alabama, but they have been the right-hand allies of the
