Health Department Pay Roll Believed Swept Out
 by Janitor

Somewhere in the city's trash dump or in an obscure pile of rubbish there is letter containing health department pay checks totaling $2.000. This Is the belief of officials Of the Birmingham police depart ment, who have been working for two days on the report by Dr. J. D. Bowling that the pay roll for hls department had not reached the city, although mailed in Montgomery last Tuesday
 The postal messenger declared he slipped the letter under the door when he failed to gain admittahee to the office, which was locked, 1t being after closing time.
 The theory of the police depart ment is that the janltor swept the letter aside with other rubbish and that it Is reposing safely on the trash dump or elsewhere.
 Strict search for traces of the checks having been cashed has met with no success, which led the de- tectives on the case to conclude that the letter failed of delivery because it had been swept away.
 Sergeant Brannon of the detective department stated last plight that all sources where checks are liable to be eashed by any person are being carefully watched.

BISHOP M'MURRY
 AT FIRST CHURCH
Need of Men and Women to Work For God Theme of
 Inspiring Sermon

Bishop William F. McMurry of St. Louis, Mo-, filled the pulpit of the First Methodist church Sunday morn ing, and during his sermon urged the need of men and women who are in- spired with a spirit and the courage to conduer for God. and to uphold the need of a sense of God to the world
 Bishop McMurry took his text from Isaiah 40:1, Comfort ye, comfort ye. my people, sayeth your God" and in opening his sermon pointed out that man fs a worshiping creature and that the instinct of worship in him is so strong that he must have an altar and a place for his god.
 "This Is the secret of the magnifi- cent cathedrals,p said Bishop Me- Murry, "of the great piles of stone. There have been-found cities without walls and without money. but no city has been found witohut shrine. This instinct is so strong that if it can not find God 1t will make a god of its own to worship. So in It's last an alysis every one has his own god The fool saith in his heart. There, Is no Godl' He did not say it out loud.
 "Who Is our God? What are the marks and characteristics of Jeho- yah? The test Is found in our Lord Jesus Christ. Is your god the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ? If he is you can safely worship him. l would not minimize the fact that Jesus shed His blood for our redemption; that He died on the cross There is great hope and comfort in this. But9 He also lived to show us the Father, that man might live to understand this re- lationship; that we, too. might know the Father,
 According to the apostles and ac- cordin gto experience there are men who find no joy in service, no thrills in religion. But the fault is not that of God nor of the Bible. For that con- dition we must look somewhere else.
 Tt is the greater task to put in shape the hosts of Jehovah to go forth for the larger service. Who are the people that will go forth and do this thing the prophets ask and com fort the people? I will tell you. They are the people who think of God. who are inspired and find strength in the service of God.
 Let us ever remember that in all His providential dealings God is seek ing to bring men to Himself. He is master of the situation and He knows what Is going on. There Is no need for fear while He Is at the helm."

The First Presbyterian church was crowded Sunday morning for the jubilee service incident to their fiftieth anniversary. An impressive part of it was the roll call by pas tors. the rising of the members in groups according to the minister under whom they entered the Old First's membership.

 Fifty years ago our spiritual mothers and fathers founded this church. That is long time ago. As Tennyson says Fifty years of Europe is a cycle in Cathy.'

AUBURN HAS MADE TENTATIVE PLANS
 FOR DORM|TOR|ES
President DoWeII Tells of Im- mediate Plans For Institu- tion-EnroIIment of Sum-
 mer School Largest


 Work will begin on two dormi- tories at Auburn as soon as plans can be drawn and the contract let by the building committee of the board of trustees of the Alabama Poly technic institute, according to an an- nouncement made yesterday by Dr. Spright Dowell, president of Auburn, in Birmingham, to confer with archi- tects.
 Dr. Doweil declared the work on these two dormitories. which would accommodate together 200 students, would be built as rapidly as possible and they would be the first fruits of the Greater Auburn campaign.
 Tentative plans have already been drawn for two dormitory units which will house 100 boys each said Dr. Dowell. As soon as the plans are accepted by the building committee of the board of trustees and bids can be received work will be started and completed as early as possible.
 Largest in History
 "The present enrolment of the summer school is the largest in the history of the institution. This, l believe is due to the increased in terest in education in Alabama, to the higher requirements for teachers and to the growing desire on the part of many college students to continue. their work during the sum mer months.
 Al Auburn over the fact that up to date, twice as many applications have been received for entrance into the reg ular college course this fall as in any previous year at the same time. These applications are coming from Birmingham and other cities in the state, the smaller towns and the rural districts in a constant stream, despite the fact that Auburn has no paid canvassers in the field as have many other institutions. Due to the lack of dormitory facilities, Auburn is making no especial campaign for students.
 Dormitory Units
 "The trustees, in addition to the two dormitory units, have authorized additional space for class rooms and for housing the splendid equipment which has been given to Auburn in tke present campaign. We are bend- ing every energy to accommodate the students at the opening of the com- ing session and are confident that due to the interest of the people of Alabama in the work at the insti- tuition, facilities will be provided during the next year to take care of the increasing number who desire to receive the training which Au- burn can give to the youth of the state.''

TACNA-ARICA FARLEY
 FAR FROM DECISION

Washington, June 11.-Chile's rep resentatives here apparently were as far as ever from decision tonight regarding their next and perhaps de- cisive move in the Chilean-P Peruvian conference.
 The impression gained ground that the move toward mediation by the United States, inaugurated by Peru, was not finding any further favor among the Chileans. It was said that Chilean Ambassador Matheiu might decide to call on Secretary Hughes as Peruvian ambassador Pezet did several days ago. but all signs indi- cated that such visit would not re- suit in request for the exercise of good offices"

 Of First Presbyterian

afford 1t, so, like God, we kept and transformed the old by building the new into It."
 Newer and Finer
 'sYou cannot build something newer and finer than the faith and church of your fathers out of the raw ma terial of modern life. Be patient, be humble, guard the holy things the old has brought you. Then you will be progressive without being destruc- tive, conservative without being re- actionary. In some mysterious way [ believe this church Is living organ ism, with memory and CONSEQUENCES and voice.
 What that voice, believe, is say ing to you is this: Remember not the sins of my youth nor my transgres- sions but according 70 the loving kindness remember thou me'-not my evil and foolish things. but remember thou me- at my best. We ask not to have the worst considered as typical of us. There ia more and better in us than so many of the things We say and do.
 ARemember Thou Me's
 But love sees our best as our av- craze. Love remembers our best. and the rest fades away In the years. The cry of us all Is not to judge us by the superficial selves we show but by the real and hidden self far below Remember thou me- The wonder Of us all Is Will 1 be remembered? And we want to be remembered by the few who know us and who love us Just the same. Our soldiers welcomed gladly the opportunity to show in one supreme sacrifice the great things they felt were in them.
 "The cross of Christ makes 1t pos sible for God to remember not my sins and my weaknesses, but to re- member in loving kindness the real me. These will be no more remen- bered for his names sake That is l tho voice of our church as I hear It."
