GOVERNOR MAKING
 CHRISTIANITY REAL.

The new governor of Colorado, William F. Sweet, is developing program for the application of Chris tian principles to practical issues that will be watched by leaders ev- erywhere. He believes that his of flee as governor offers a real op- portunity to demonstrate the ef- ficacy of Christ's teachings when applied to the problems of all groups and classes. The capitol of Colorado according to Judge Ben Lindsey, has been regarded in times past as q rendezvous for type of politician decidedly inimical to the common welfare. Governor Sweet was quick to see that no progress was being made in bringing capital and labor meeting separately, discussing their own problems from their own angle. In a public address the governor said. Both groups remind me of dog chasing his tail; they get mo- where; they do not mix; their views are antagonistic. Though their in- terests are bound together in null titude of ways, they have never met on an basis which would favor mutual understanding" Consequent ly a meeting of one hundred citizens, representing both groups, was called by the governor The gathering was held in the executive chamber of the state house. Addresses were listened to, and the whole atmosphere was one of sincerity and broad human itarianism-a feeling of mutual good will that disarmed bitter partisan ship. Governor Sweets innovation has met with an almost unanmious approval from people of all groups and classes, and other meetings are to be held. The chief executive has been quick to see an opportunity to apply the golden rule, and seek first the Kingdom '

CALVARY AUDITORIUM
 PACKED FOR BAPTISM
New Baptistry Adds Much To Inn
 pressfveness of ?ervice

The auditorium of the Calvary Bap- tist church. which was recently com pleted, was taxed to it's capacity last Sunday night, when the ordinance or haptism was performed in the new baptistry.
 This service was beautiful and most impressive. All lights of the church were turned off, and the entire audi torium thrown in darl1ness but for a tiny obscured light which shone brightly over the baptistry. The light was so arranged that 1t was lmpos- sible for the audience to tell whence came its rays. This scene added much to the impressiveness or the service.
 The board of deacons of thls church have ordered a boiler for the purpose of heating water for the baptlstry' and according to announcement 1t lS the aim of the congregation to max the baptismal service so com1orlaoie for the candidates that the 1ull meau- ing of it may be grasped by poth tne candidates and the spectators. An ad- ditional improvement of the new eul- flee will be the installation or cleo tric fans, to be placed on either slde of the auditorium and in the balcony making this one of the coolest spots in Birmingham, even on the days the rays of the sun are hottest.
 At every service since the reVlNaI n,eeting conducted by Dr. Dawson or Tuscaloosa the auditorium has been filled and large crowds continue to flock to this haven. u,,
 Rev. Emmett Williams, pastor, Will fill his pulpit Sunday at both ser. vices. For his morning theme he Will take for his subject, The Christian Answer to Worldly Calls and at the evening service Rev.

RECORD IS MADE IN CHURCH CONTRIBUTION
 BY FIRST CHRISTIAN
Congregation Got $112,451 Toward Fund For New
 $3OO,OOO Church

The First Christian church made record last Sunday that will be diff ficult to duplicate. Here Is a church with barely 600 members, the large majority with small means, raising a sum that would do credit to the largest and wealthiest church in the city. The campaign for the new building began on the 10th with 13 teams under the leadership of three division chairman. Division A was under tbe direction of H. T. Batter ton, with the following as captains: w. C. Knopf, Ira G. Bond, J. L. Lentz and A. T. McWane. Division B was under the leadership of E. B. Pen nington with J. B. Lassiter, D. J. Davis, J. R. Humphries and John Hollingsworth as captains. Division had as its chairman H. o. Bernard with J. H. Move, N. S. Kitchens. Charles Candy and S. E. Garrett as captains. A unique feature was a flying squadron, with Chief Tom Christian as captain. The general chairman of the organization was J. R. McWane and the campaign di- rector w. s. Stallings.
 This organization worked all the week securing subscriptions amount ing to s95,0O0. On Sunday the 18th an enthusiastic program with fi- nal effort to reach the S100,000 mark was made and when the time came for adjournment the magnificent sum of $112,451 was announced.
 This church has large equity in the present site of the old church and with the new sum subscribed a new edifice will be erected at the corner of Seventh avenue and Twentyfirst street to cost not less than S300,000 This new structure will be the latest word in church architecture and equipment. The department of re- ligious education will be ample to care for 1,500, organized along mod ern lines. The building committee is at work with the architects in get ting up plans for this magnificent church.
 The congregation of the First Christian church believe they have in pr. Robert N. Simpson one of the noblest men in the ministry in this country-a man with leadership of magnetic character, preacher of rare power and man with a passion for his work that keeps him happy and enthusiastic all the time. It has ship that the new church has been made possible.
 Ground will be broken in a few weeks for this new church and it will be rushed to completion to meet the crowded condition of both the church and the sunday school.

NOTED SCIENTIST
 TALKS ON RELIGION.

One of the foremost scientists of the times Is Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, known to many as the wizard ot Schenectady" In statement printed in The Continent Dr. Steinmetz takes the position that science Is not sup posed to stand in the place of relig- ion. and that there are spiritual laws that must be and can only be dis cerned through spiritual senses. His own statement of the matter Is this: The conceptions of physical science are Incompatible with the metaphysi- cal conceptions of God, immortality, infinity and so on. But are the con- captions of science really final and all embracing? Science derives it's conclusions by the laws of logic from our sense perceptions. Thus it does not deal with the real world, of which we know nothing, but with the world as it appears to our senses. The non-eXistence in science of the conceptions of God and immortality therefore means nothing except that we cannot get by reasoning con- clusion which is not contained in the premises on which we started our reasoning. Belief must always re- main the foundation of religion"

SHOULD THERE RE X
 JEWISH UNIVERSITY

The proposal set forth in some quarters to limit the matriculation
 of Jewish students at some of the institutions of higher learning, and to build one or more universities for Jews near the large centers of popu- lation has called forth a flood of protests on the part of Jews and Gentiles. A writer in recent num- Der of the American Hebrew regards the Jewish university proposal as a "cowardly surrender of our posi- tion of equality as Americans with all other Americans" and declares that Jews do not want to study Latin or Greek, mathematics or chemistry, psychology or sociology as Jews with Jews, but as men and linen with other men and women,

no matter what may be their relig- ious or racial affiliations. I cannot believe that the great mass of the American people will indorse finally any such proposal as the exclusion of any worthy young man or woman because of creedal or racial differ- ences from institutions of learning.
