KEEN INTEREST IN COMING GENERAL CONFERENCE

While the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church is almost a year off, the official or gans of the denomination are al ready giving much space to the dis cussion of some of the questions that will confornt that body when it meets in Sringfield, Mass. in 1924. Certain groups in the church are making vigorous protest against the alleged standardization of power in the church. The pastors council of California has been active in the fight. Others are concerned lest thes bishops should regard themselves as belonging to a separate order in the ministry. and not simply elders into whose hands had been given admin istrative powers. A fight will be made to provide for the choice of district superintendents by the cleo tion of the members of a confer ence, and not as in the present case by appointment of the presiding bishop. At the present there are number of boards and agencies in the church representing it's differ cnt interests. An effort will be made to consolidate some of these boards representing the benevolent work. Since the consolidation of d number of benevolent boards in both the Presbyterian and Disciples churches, it has been felt that the policy of consolidation had gained many new supporters.

Mexican Shrine Club Plans
 Ceremonial On Old Pyramid

are of unknown age, but unques- tionably antedate the Christian era by many centuries. They give evil dence that their builders were artists of no mean ability. Many of the decorations are so nearly identical with those found on ancient Egyp- tian monuments and tombs as to lead to the belief that the people who con- structed them emigrated from the land of the Nile. Excavations to date also give proof that two ancient cities existed on the site of these pyramids, and that one city was super imposed on the other-which would Sun" back into the past another few thousand years.
 Anyway and regardless. 1t Is on one of these wonderful pyramids that class of novices will be ran somed to the true faith, the govern ment of Mexico having issued per init for the ceremonial to take place. It Is such unique setting and the circumstances surrounding the pyra mids are of such interest that there should be no question of Anezeh temple and Potentate William J. Wilson having large crowd of visit ors from the states. Somebody ought to organize a couple of special train parties to carry northern Shriners down to the City of Mexico for the ceremonial. It would be good time to give President Obregon evidence of our moral support in his effort to run state without the aid of any church.
 And Anezeh temple needs the boost our presence could give her. She has been making game fight against odds, but she still flies the Shrine flag.

Birmingham Council Is Hold ing Many Interesting Meet
 ings Lately

Senator J. Thomas Heflin will de- liver an address Monday night at 1S09h Fourth avenue, otherwise auspices of Birmingham council Mo- 21, Junior Order United American Mechanics. It was expected that the address would be given in the Junior Order lodge room in Fraternal hall, but inasmuch as the interest had become so general it was thought best to provide the larger hall, which is expected to be filled.
 Birmingham council held a good meeting Monday. with a fair attend ance The degrees were given three candidates and several applications were turned in and others reported on favorably, they being elected to membership. Matters of routine were for the address to be given next Mon day night by Senator Heflin.
 Several members of Birming gham council attended the meeting Tuesday night of Inglenook council and as- sisted in putting on the degree work on a class of candidates, who later expressed themselves as much pleased and impressed with the serious les sons taught in the duties of Amer icanism. The council adopted a reso- lution resembling one formerly passed by the council which asked the legis- lature to repeal the workmeh's com pensation law. This action was taken upon the determination that the for mer action of the council was beyond the scope of the work of the Junior Order permitted by it's laws, and was In no sense the result of any discip- linary measures directed toward the council.
 National council of the Junior Order meets next Tuesday in Burling- ton, Vermont. Every state will be rep resented, the national council con- sisting of several hundred members Besides the business of the council many social events have been ar ranged for, chief of which Is an ex- cursion by steamer on Lake Cham plain to several historial points Many matters of importance to the Junior Order will be before the na- tional council and the interest is gen. eral among the membership.

Anezeh temple has recorded in The Crescent" for this month one of the most interesting accounts of a forthcoming Shrine ceremonial ever contemplated in this country. Anezeh temple Is located at the City of Mexico. The story in detail follows:
 Anezeh temple, at the City of Mexico. is planning to hold a cere- monial of the Mystic Shrine on one of the ancient pyramids that lie 2S miles northeast of the Mexican capi tal-the most unique setting for a Shrine initiation that has ever been used in the history of the order. The date has not been announced. but engagements Recorder Charles B.. Waite informs the Crescent that the event will take place this coming fall, and that temples in the United States will be invited to participate.
 The ceremonial will be staged on top of the Pyramid of the Sum-" the highest (200 feet) of a series of pyra- mids that have been uncovered by Investigators, there being but one en- way of a long series of stairways. With the stairway under guard the only possible way for any curious minded person to observe the sacred rites of the Shrine would be from an airplane.

LIVELY DISCUSSIONS AT BAPTIST CONVENTION

Like other religious bodies, the Northern Baptist convention. which met recently at Atlantic City. has mad it's share of contentious precip- itated by debates between funda mentalists and modernists. Those expressing an "outside" viewpoint declare that the fundamentalists showed less strength than they did at the convention one year before The dramatic event of the opening session came when Dr. John Roach Straton. one of the leaders of the fundamentalists, made a lively pro test against President W. H. P. Faunce of Brown university, making the keynote speech of the conven- ton. His opposition to Dr. Faunce was on the ground that The has in recent times progressively expressed views in books, articles and speeches subversive tG our faith" The con- vention was clearly not in harmony with the contention of Dr. Straton, and it was some time before the shouts of disapproval could be quelled so that the president of the conven- tion could rule that Dr. Faunce was the guest of the convention and would speak. At the request of the trustees of the University of Chi cago, the convention voted that here after the president of the university may be chosen from outside the Bap- tlst faith. It was voted also that three-fifths instead of two-thirds of the board cf trustees must be Baptists. In the discussion of the affairs in the university it was brought out that John D. Rockefel- Ter had given s3400O,O00 of the total gifts to the university. The con- vention passed resolutions expressing approval of Americas participation In an association of nations and a world court

MINISTER'S DEFEND RECORD OF NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

Because of the publicity given Northwestern university of Evanston H., through it's connection with the mysterious disappearance of a stu dent and with a fatal automobile ac- cident, and because of alleged hostil- ity of certain Chicago newspapers to the university. the Chicago Methodist Ministers association has passed a resolution of confidence in the of fieers and teachers of the university. The resolution reads:
 Whereas, Northwestern university, an institution of higher learning of the Methodist Episcopal church, that has for more than a half century stood for exalted Christian character genuine scholarship and high edu- cational ideals, is at the present time being subjected to damaging criti- cism and most harmful publicity, be- cause of certain very unfortunate in cidents which occurred at the time of recent student Irregularities.
 Therefore resolved, That we. the members of the Methodist Episcopal preachers meeting of Chicago, while we do not desire to express judgment on the conflicting testimony or to send forth an utterance that may in any way embarrass the authorities of either the school or the state in their delicate work of investigation, which we trust will be pushed vigor- oHoiS tiltIi tlIl essential 19CtS are brought to light, and while our heart felt sympathies go out to the friends who have suffered indescrib- able loss, nevertheless, we desire hereby to reaffirm our confidence in the university it's president and trustees, and our appreciation of the high ideals so long held and the splendid work that has been done. We desire not only to assure them of our sympathy in the present try ing situation. but to pledge to them our support in every legitimate way as they endeavor to carry out the great educational program that has been planned and announced
 Resolved. that we most heartily approve the long continued and pro- Gresslve effort on the part of the university to suppress what is com meniy called hazins and that we in dorse it's more drastic action an nounced in recent ruling to the effect that all forms of class rush ana lights regulated and supervised or unregulated and unsupervised be hereby abtlished.'

WOULD ABOLISH STAMPS
france To Substitute Cash Payment
 Postal System

PARIS, June 16.-(By Associated Press.)-To dispense with licking of postage stamps is the object of an experiment soon to be tried in France. The idea is to substitute a system of paying for the postage of letters without the use of the post age stamp.
 The ministry of posts will deliver to some of the business houses whose mail is very heavy machine which will mark the letters to show they have passed through counting ma . chine. tally will be taken periodi- cally by representative of the postal department, which will send bills to the user according to the count taken.
 The machine Is expected not only to economize in the time of the civil Ian clerks and postal employees, but to restrict the spread of microbes.
