IN THE CHI URCHE S

1t is generally conceded in church and
Sunday school circles in this city that the
organization Of Calvary Baptist Sunday
school is well nigh perfect but it is not so
well known that much of the great success
that the institution has achieved is due to
the wisdom displayed by lady, Miss s. E.
White, who is regarded as the strong right
| arm of the superintendent, Mr.. P. H. Bris-
tow. in all matters which relate to the gov
eminent of the school.
Miss White is not assistant superiptend-
ent, but she is assistant to the superintend-
ent. and a most efficient one. She is more
tLan punctual If from any cause the SUI
perintendent is five minutes late, she Is
ready to set the machinery of the school in
notion. She is always present before the
fixed hour, sees that the room is arranged
suitably, that all preliminares are pro-
vided for, that the other officers are in their
places, and that an atmosphere of cheerful,
friendly welcome SIeetS the attendants as
they enter.
In order to discharge her duties in the
most intelligent manner and with the view
of producing the best results she has made
careful and deliberate study of those
who are considered her auXiliaries, and has
acquainted herself infinitely with the char
acter and ability of each Individual. In adj
dition, Miss White has thorough and in
teiligent knowledge of the work itself She
makes it subject of systematic study, not
only by means of various magazines and
periodicals, but by careful, thorough study
with maps of all the stations where mis-
sionaries work. their names, and the char
acter of the work they do.
