THE LINE ADVANCES


 Today, the Independent Presbyterian church throws open the doors of it's new home to the public This marks the compile tion of the first step toward the realization of bold endeavor. That which was dream stands visiby impressed in enduring beauty. The new place of worship is a pledge given to this community of the earnestness of the men and women engaged in the enterprise, and of the permanence of their enthusiasm for all that is bat in civic and religious life
 It Is indeed a delicate task for one who is not Presbyterian to write of the inception of this new movement in our local religious life. The writer was present on that event full evening, years ago, in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce, when the Inde- pendent church was organized, and opened the meeting with prayer. He did it with sense of the bigness of that moment when so many earnest men and women were pre- pairing to break with that old Mother Church in which their fathers had lived and died and which so many of them loved-and love unto this present day. He did it with the tender est sympathy for Henry Edmonds, whom he has known and admired and loved during
 
 when we both were preparing for our work for the Master in our respective divisions of the army of the Living Christ, and the writer knew as few in that room could know the depth of his affection for that church he was leaving and the price he was paying for what had become his souls necessity. Those troubled days are, perhaps, far enough away for me to tell what l knew so we'll at the time; that Edmonds' one desire was to go away and be at peace. It was the constrain- ing love of so many of his people that kept him there to shoulder what at times has been heavy burden.
 Those were truly remarkable days, when the daily papers famed forth with 'extras dealing with little church gathering in Fay cite; when lawyers and doctors and captains of industry gathered on the street corners to discuss the doctrine of the Atonement They were anxious days for many, with pain and fear in multitude of human hearts. And yet, from it all God has brought much good-as God ever does-as God must do, in fact-from life so largely filled with potential disaster Earnest men who saw the same Truth differently, gathered them
 
 sacrificed, and gave of themselves without stint for the things they believed in, and from church divided against itself there have come two splendid organizations, each stronger and purer than their source; each rising higher than the rock whence they sprang; each seeking the more deeply for foundations of faith on which to rest thelr life; each travelling now in brotherly love one of the many roads which lead us all at last to God.
 And am sure that speak for the splen- did old Southern Presbyterian church, as well as for the Christian people of Birning- ham in general, when welcoming the success which has crowned this last venture of faith. There is one more splendid regiment en- listed in the struggle we are all making against sin, satan and death; a struggle which shall know no ending until the King dom of God has come.

when the last movie house closes for the night Unkempt and roughly dressed workmen play with heaps of 1o,oo0,ooo and 100000 900 rouble notes in front of them, rubbing elbows with fashionably dressed women who hover around the gapbling tables.
 Persons who look like vagrants stake huge piles of Russian roubles, foreign money and even gold pieces on the games and win or lose their billions with the sang froid of veteran of Monte Carlo.
 A million roubles doesn't amount to much in American money, but in spite of that $200,- 900 or more changes hands nightly in the new casino, which is rather conclusive evidence that it is.no place for piker. Naturally the prices charged for refreshments in resort of this kind are staggering. A package of cheap cg- arettes sold in England for 10 cents costs $1.5o.
 There h one feature of Moscows new "palace of chance" which indicates the canniness of the bolshevik authorities. The "house" win nings, averaging about $1o,0oo night, go to the government. They are ostensibly used for relief work among famine sufferers and for other worthy causes.

further there is no chance to pass leg
