ARb|TERS IF COAL INDUSTRY T0 MAKE VISITS T0 FIELDS
Conclusions Desired From Personal Observation and No Witnesses Have Been
 Called For in Advance

With the arrival of the United States coal commissioners in Bir- mingham on the Birmingham Special at $40 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, will begin one of the most complete and far-reaching investigations into conditions In the coal industry in the history of government regulation. The commissioners assigned to the investigation of the Birmingham field, viz: John Hays Hammond. chairman; former Vice President Thomas R. Marshall and Clark How ell of Atlanta, will make a personal visit to the coal fields and will form their conclusions, it Is announced, rather from observation than from calling for testimony.
 The success of the commission in reaching solution of the wage scale difficulty resulting in the adoption of the recent so-called tri-state con- tract has led many to believe, it is stated, that at last some method of settling the eternal upheavals in a fundamental and vital industry is at hand. From the fact that the com mission sent no heralds of it's com ing in the shape of questionnaires to operators and miners, it has been as- sumed that the commission intends to make it's investigation and base its conclusions on the evidence of it's own eyes. That is the construction widely placed on it's announced de- termination to call no witnesses and to ask fer no testimony from work CTS or operators
 The primary aim of the investiga- tion, it is said, is to stabilize the coal industry to such an extent that the supply of and the demand for fuel can be regulated and shortages and overproduction avoided. The wage question has already been settled. In the Alabama district the United Mine Workers are objecting to the settle ment of the wage question by the companies in the Birmingham dis trict, not because of any objection to the three states agreement. but because they claim that the interpre- tation of that agreement by the local companies gives the local miners a much lower wage rate than that all lowed by the northern companies.
 Nc difficulty, it is said. will be placed in the way of the commissions CTS by either miners or operators. both having sgnified their intention and willingness to furnish the com missioners with any informaton that will further the success of their mis- sion.

DIR. MACSPORRAN HAS ACCEPTED CALL FROM ORANGE, N. J., CHURCH

The First Presbyterian church was crowded Sunday morning when Dr. John T. MacSporran, pastor, an nounced his acceptance of the call to the Hillside church at Orange, New Jersey. and apropos of this an dress, taking his text from John 17I2-"While l Was With Them I Kept Them In Thy Name"
 Following the services a congre- gational meeting was held and the membership of the "Old First Church" accepted his resignation with regrets, and agreed to ask the North Alabama Presbytry to release him from this church. This action was taken as a demonstration of their loyalty, love and devotion for the minister himself. and the won- derful work he has accomplished for the First Presbyterian church during his four years pastoral here.
 Short talks were made by W. H. Woolverton, Frank Rushton. and H. L. Morrow. officers of the church. According to their statements Dr. MacSporran had come to them when the church was at it's lowest ebb. and their congregation just drifting" Ana through his own personality and untiring efforts bounG the congre- gation together and started it upon a splendid work. As an expression of the congregations loyalty to him. resolutions were adopted express ing their deep regret at the sever ance of the relationship between them and their beloved pastor.
 Dr. MacSporran, assumed the pas torate of this church four years ago coming to Birmingham from Baltimore, and since that time has done a wonderful work and built up a splendid church. The formal call to New Jersey came cs a surprise to the congregation. who accepted with reluctance his resignation. The call has been extended to pr. Mac Sporran on several previous occa- sions, but his final decision was not made until recently.
 Just when Dr. MacSporran will leave Birmingham could not be as- certained but it is understood that he vii go to New Jersey within the next few weeks.

MILITANT RELIGION IS
 TEXT OF SERMON BY l REV. HENRY EDM0NDS

"Remember The Lord and Fight the text found in Nehemiah AHA, was the subject of the sermon of pr Henry M. Edmonds, pastor of the In dependent Presbyterian church, al tho Sunday morning service, and he pointed out in the course of the ser mon that all fife Is battle and a struggle, but also stressed the i'm portance of waging a fight fo others. rather than for self.
 After all is aii and done, life is still battle.' said Dr. Edmonds In part. Learning is still hard even trough better facilities and equip ment are now provided than when you and c-me up. Christian life is still g surrender. But the text says Remember the Lord and Fight not remember yourself and be cocky and fight, but remember the Lord and fight.
 "Thousands shave been slain in the name some doctrine. The Catholic church killed thousands, and they still show you in ris the spot where St. Bartholomews nis Tt was first decreed, and later the Protes a. t. did the same thing.
 Shall we do as n the days of Josuah, when all Amalikites were ordered slain along with their fam lilies and their cattle? This message of Nehemiah came several hundred years afterwards Remember the Lord and fight In times when fight ii.s was necessary followers of Christ were first on the battlefield and last to leave 1t. From among the men supposed to blow doctrine of spineless non-resistance have risen me like Oliver c; -nwell, George Washington. and a host of others. who fought for freedom and were willing to surrender their lives in order to keep the ire, dom of their souls.
 We sill have to fight for our own sc 'is ;.n,- in addition we are confronted with the fact that the standards have been raised. Christ killed the tier of the old law and found the spirit of the thing and re- voaled 1t > own souls. \ number C letters >olished ree my of Thomas Jeffer, ,n snd George wash ington show that in many things even these great men of that day followed lower standard.
 Even in matters of personal pur- ty anl right .iv,-g. remember the Lord and fight. Do not give up the fight against yielding to temptations which beset you.
 But this text also tells us to re- member the Lord and fight for others, for your wife. children and for those you, love. l know that il is written Blessed are the meek ! Do you know what is a meek man? One who does not fight for himself, but for others"
