M. T. Atkins, president of the State Sunday School Association, delivered a thoroughly practical and most forceful address at the First Presbyterian Church last evening.

This committee will be named within the next few days.
 The plan contemplates the enlistment of at least 800 Sunday school workers, who on a given day will visit every home and business house in the city for the purpose of inviting every white person of Sunday school age to attend the Sun day school and church of their choice At the same time information will be gathered which will constitute a com plete church census of the city, and will give to the pastors and Sunday school complete list of all families and persons in the city expressing a preference for their respective churches.
 Organization Necessary.
 To accomplish this great undertaking in one days time will require the most thorough preparation and organization, and to this the committee to be appointed by President Wilson will direct its ef- forts. Sunday schools will be visited, meetings will be held in the various sec- work will be listed.
 Those at the head of, the movement are positive that as soon as the merits of the undertaking are thoroughly understood an abundance of workers will be forth. coming.
 The plan wherever tried has resulted in a wonderful increase in church and Sun day school attendance and membership and in the reaching of many people by the church who otherwise could never have been reached.

 init Proposition to City
VIII sdbsoribe Money and Material For Buiiding Bridge At 23rd Street and Do the Necessary Team Work At . Low Figure

II, D. Clark attended the council meet ing last night and submitted n verbal proposition In behalf of himself and other residents in the northern part of the city, to the effect that they would sub scribe ssOO. furnish and lay the planking on bridge to be built acposs the river at Twenty-third street. providing the city would take charge of the work and pay the additional cost necessary in complet- ing the structure Also. that they would furnish the teams and do the hauling in connection with the work at the rate of sixty cents per hour. which was much less thhn the regular charge for that kind of work.
 The question was taken up and dis cussed in a general manner. City Engl- necr Ruud submitted a sketch of n bridge that could be built for t.eo0, which would reauire pier to be placed In the river. It was thought that the pier would in- terfere with the beneficial results cx- pected to be gained from the wing dhm. Engineer Ruud explained that If n span were substituted. it would make the bridge cost about si.soo.
 Mr. Andrews suggested that tho prop ositfon from Mir. Clark and his neighbors be submitted to the council in writing. with their signatures. stating definitely what they werr willing to do and what they desired of the city. and the proposi- ton will therefore bc submitted to the councilih that shape 'at the next meet ing.
