when Mrs. Sheldon. after spending the day with her old-time friend Mrs. John Rodeng was accompanied homo in the afternoon by Mrs. A. ]. Bowren, to find the parlors into which she was ushered filled with friends who sInil- ingly greeted tine mother with wishes for many happy retu1ns of the day.
 Upon entering ths d,alry room. the honored guest found Mrs. H. M Ed monds and Mrs. W. T. Simmons presld- ing at beautifully appointed tea table which was graced by tte birthday xe, bright with burning .In Hes. Beng called upon to make wish before ex- tinguishing the lights, Mrs. Sheldon raised her hard as If in blessing with the thanksgiving. Dear Heavenly Father, I thank Thee for this courtesy. My wish is made in behalf of our new church." Dr. A. J. Bryan, who accom- panied Mrs. Sheldon, completed the the pastor, Dr. Edmonds, for the con gregation, and for the establishment of the new house of worship.
 The gift that was considered Mrs. Sheldon would most appreciate, was gracefully presented on the part of the Womans auxiliary by the president, Mrs. Victor Hanson. Upon receiving ii, the mother" held the photogIapn of her beloved pastor, pr. I1dm onds, in her right hand, while in substance she re- sponded happily:
 'If the choice were mine of holding this picture in one hand a. my own possession, or $1,000 in the othec hand in exchange, I'd say, Let me keep the picture of my pastor, unless. indeed, giving it up would enah,e me to do- nate $1,000 to help build the new church that his ministry so richly de- serves, and that our congregation needs for the promotion of good"
 Among other tokens of esteem re- ceived by Mrs. Sheldon were a basket of spring flowers from Mrs. A. W. B Johnson that formed the lovely center piece decoration, and a special delivery letter bearing the kindly greetings of pr. and Mrs. George Eaves.
 The surprise birthday party was the happy thought of Dr Henry M. Ed monds. beautifully realized through the Woman's organization, because of the love cherished by the members of the Independent church for one whose gra- cious presence in her accustomed pew each Sunday is a benediction to pastor and people.

IT UNUSUAL and beautiful was the
 occasion of Mrs. Esther Shcl-
 don's seventy-eighth birthday, which assembled scores of her friends at the Surprise party rendered at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John 5. Kennedy, by the woman's organization, in loving tribute to the oldest member of the Independent Presbyterian church.
 Mrs. Sheldon is known as the mother" of the Independent church, that numbers so many younger people. A charter member. she is also one of the pioneers, who for more than 35 years has been interested in the suc- cess of every good cause for the up- building of Birmingham.
 The same motherly solicitude and cheerful giving of self that marked Mrs. Sheldon's pioneer days in Jeffer- son county have also characterized her never-failing interest in the first days of the Independent church, and in the plans today for tne srsetlon of a we'll equipped house "t worsh.3.

 MT Mukerji is a Hindu of remark able personality and brilliant mind, and he can interpret the mystery beauty and poetry of his native land better than any one can.
 His subject will be. '"The India of Tagore," and Kipling, two writers of that dreamy East who are by nature widely different and who naturally know their India in a different light and viewpoint.
 India has the most wonderful atmos- phere and setting for drama in the world. And will anyone ever know the real India with its sunsets and desert skies. it's splendors and it's pain, the long, -velvety tread of the camel and the song of the camel drivers, the nat ural beauty of it's singing streams, and the chant of the river man; it's sorrows and it's grandeur"
 Gopal Mukerji is a man of fluent and vivid speech and his word pictures are poems as well.
