Price came to the Bessemer church from Waycross, Ga, two years ago Under his leadership the church has made marked progress in every way and is considered one of the most influential churches in the district.
 In addition to being good preacher, pr. Price has a pleasing personality and appears to be talking to each person in the congregation individually.
 Many improvements have been made in the church during his pastorate and 8 large sums of money spent in beautify- ing the Sunday school rooms and the church lawn.

 by Business Showing in Dull Period
By RICHARD F. JOHN sToN

More money by Ss,617,3s2 passed through the Birmingham clearing house in April than in March. aI- though March Is the longer month. It is generally the other way.
 For more than two weeks, daily bank clearings have been running over March and just about even with the April of 1920.
 The clearings for April were &77,1I7 ,242 and compare with S6S,- 499,SS2 in March. The increase is the reverse of the usual order. In 1920 the April clenrings were s2,5OO, ,OOO under those of March. and in 1919 they were S6,OOO,OOO under those of March, April of this year has reversed the usual process by s12.O00.O0O to s14,OOO,OO to the good.

If more meat was needed couple of porkers were quickly pur- chased from a meat market and as quickly made into pork chops and other parts which have made butchers neces- sities. While the amount of money spent by the army was not estimated the commander was high in praise Of the Pratt City merchants who donated So generously.
 The Salvation Army will continue their work among the needy mjners until relief can be obtained and all clubs and organizations who wish to donate can do so through the army Brigadier Simonson, Captain Colvin or some competent officer will always be on the job to distribute goods and find the most needy ones.
