 Sunday June 12. 1921. Sunday school 1O:0O a. m. Afternoon service 400 p. m. instead of :OO p. m.
 The reason for holding this afternoon service at four o. clock instead of five o'clock is because Rev. Moore has been asked to preach the service for the graduating class of the Nor nal at the special services held for them at Flagstaff that eve ming. This necessitates Rev. Moore's early return to Flag staff at the end of the after noon service.

from various sections of the state Several offers have already been re- ceived and a number of towns have offered large bonuses in addition to sites for the institution. The com mittee desires to give every city and town in Alabama an opportunity to obtain the home.
 Since the grand lodge voted to es- tablish the home S15,000 has been contributed to the building fund, and the committee is hopeful that the campaign now impending will place 0,000 or more in the treasury to the credit of the fund before the end of February.
 Ten states in the union have al- ready established Pythian homes, and recently New Hampshire purchased the "Old Homestead" the home of Denman Thompson, who made the "Old Homestead" famous on the stage, which is being converted into state home for widows and orphans of Pythians of New Hampshire.
 It is the intention of the committee in Alabama to present a prize ban ner to the district which contributes the greatest amount per capita to the fund during the campaign, and to present a memorial altar to the sub- ordinate lodges which report the greatest contribution per capita.
