 ITO Gov. William W. Brandon and all other trustees of Auburn college, greetings:
 Speaking as citizens of Alabama and of other states, with a feeling of unabating loyalty to our beloved alma mater, Auburn college, we beg herewith to set forth our conviction, requests and recommendations:
 -Four and one-half years ago, with a sense of uncertainty, we accepted in good faith the selection of the board of trustees which gave us Dr. Spright Dowell as president of Alabama Poly technic institute. We subordianted our own misgivings and coerced our doubts and misgivings in a determination to believe in, support and stand by Dr. Dowell as president of Auburn, trusting that ultimately we could find in him a suitable man for this position. Time and again we have met together, taken inventory of our situation, made com. parisons between our college and other colleges, and in spite of disappointments in progress and development, with re- newed determination we set out again to nal ke good to the state of Alabama and to the world the selection of Dr. Dowell as president of Auburn col. lege.

CLERICS APPROVE BROWN MEETINGS
City-Wide Evangelistic Campaign Arouses
 Much Interest

Birmingham ministers have, with one accord, given their hearty approval to the series of city-wide evangellstlc meetings to be conducted ill the new auditorium during January by Evangel- ist John E. Brown, and the occasion IS predicted to be the greatest similar event ever recorded in the history of Birmingham.
 q regard the coming evangelist meet ings as one of the most important events which has occurred in our city in many years or which will occur, perchance, for many years to come, said Dr. George R. Stuart, pastor of the First Methodist church.
 q have been in Birmingham for more than eight years and during all that time there has not been city wide evangelist meeting. We have in Birmingham, in my judgment, tbe strongest ministry l have ever known in a great city and what is even better, the most delightful spirit of fraternal co. operation. With the most favorable month of the year, one of the best audi toriums in the country, strong and O. operative pastorate and an extraordl- nary evangeliStic team, the coming revival should make an epoch long to be remembered in the city of Bir- mingham."
 Dr. J. E. billiard says: II am de- lighted to know that we are to have the John Brown meeting in Birmingham. , 1 am glad because I believe 1t is a splendid thing for the Christian people of our city to get together in a great united effort to win souls for Christ and to elevate the general morals and spiritual tone of the city.
 Brown Rated High
 q am glad because of tie man who is to conduct the meetings. While l have never heard him speak, have heard splendid reports of his meetings not one unfavorable criticism have l heard. There are many evangelists whose methods do not appeal to the more thoughtful and conseclated people, b,,t r bol;ayo MT RrowD has thn
