By DOLLY DALRYMpLE

Unless the contributions to the s9o,Ooo campaign fund for home re- lief work for the Salvation Army are more generous within the next two days. we are not going to be able to raise the quota" This was the statement made late yesterday afternoon by Adjutant Jacques Nathan and he further added:
 We are just as grateful as we can be for the splendid contributions all ready made, but please let me urge everybody to be ready today and to- morrow with their contributions to the home relief fund, when our team captains call on them and let us have as much as they can quickly. or else the Salvation Army cannot keep up the spiritual, relief and rescue home work in Birmingham"
 Notable Speakers Gathered about the luncheon table when the team captains and advisory board met yesterday at noon at the Tutwiler, at the speakers table" was seated the guests of honor, Col. Will liam Evans. one of the biggest men in the Salvation Army and Dr. J. E. billiard, pastor of the Southside Bap- tist church, with Dr. Percy Woodall president of the advisory board :; Brigadier Albright, Carson Adams, Colman Blaeh and Adjutant Jacques Nathan.
 Dr. Woodall enthusiastically in- troduced Colonel Evans who proved to be most interesting speaker, and among the important things that he stressed was the splendid spirit which had been shown by the men and women of Birmingham during the present Salvation Army drive Pathetically he told of two suicide cases which had been rescued re- gently by the Salvation Army as they stood on the brink of eternity and whose lips and hearts had been at- tuned to the old beautiful hymns, Rock of Ages" and Jesus Lover of My Soul" through Salvationists and saved at last.
 T am an old Salvationist, said | Colonel Evans, and I have been over the obstacles and have bridged the chasms; l have seen the hard roads and what you good people are now doing for the Salvation Army, you great body of men and women, will bring you your reward. for the king dom of heaven shall be yours"
 Dr. billiard Speaks
 Dr. J. k. billiard in his usual happy style made wonderfully inspiring speech. declaring that he had never seen a movement yet in Birmingham where real worth was at the foun- dation that such men as Col. T. O.. Smith, Carson Adams. pr. Percy Woodall. John C. Henley, Colman Blach and others were not heart and soul in it, working for dear life for its success.
 "I'd rather be one of these men and have their fine unselfish spirit than to have all the money in the world" said Dr. Dillard.
 The newspapers of thIs city are always behind every good and spirit ual movement too, and we never ask them for support that they don't give 1t to us generously"
 1 Dr. billiard told some humorous stories applying them to the present campaign and also told of how when he was n boy be learned music. Each instrument mastered by some one, was finally put fin unison with all the rest--and the entire number under l the leadership of a great precentor-
 
 l harmonious strains. This he declared was the spirit in the present cam paign.
 Would Like to Finish Work It is the earnest desire of the Sal vation Army and It's large number l of workers, that the home relief campaign be finished tomorrow night and that on next Monday when luncheon will assemble for the ad- 1 visory board, team captains and others at the Tutwiler that the entire quota will be reported.
 | In the meantime everybody who IS going to make any sort of donation either large or small, to the Salvation ! Army and it's great work of saving souls, and making "the man who IS down but never out" better citizen, must do so within the next forty i eight hours.
 I Please. please. please. please. give | give, give. to this blessed band of noble hearted, splendid men anc women whose life work is to carry the "Old Sweet Song" to suffering humanity and point to place, IT enternity which each and all may attain with ohl ever so little en' couragementl
