learned that the little girl of a separated
couple had been taught to pray by her
mother that to her the child was award
ed. So it was prayer that would win the
world.
Following this Mr.. n B. Broughton ex-
pressed the pleasure all had in hearing
Mr.. Lawrance, and asked for contributions
to go from the Sunday Schools of Wake
county to the State meeting at Fayette-
vile. As the result of his appeal $l22
was contributed from the following
sources: Tabernacle Sunday School $25,
Presbyterian $25, First Baptist $25. Eden
ton Street Methodist $25, Central Metho-
dist So. West Raleigh Baptist s., Fay
etteville Street Baptist So, Swain Street
Mission s., Mount Moriah 81, Hepzibah ST.
After this there was general confer
ence entered into and many questions
asked of Mr.. Lawrence in regard to Sun
day School methods of work. In his an
swers he gave practical methods, illustra-
tive of the best plans to be usd. Among
other answers We're these:
"a Superintendent should have gener-
alship gumption, grace. A pastor should
not teach in the Sunday school. Graded
teachers were needed more than graded
lessons. To have good music, have it,
Use a blackboard by all means. To have
punctuality always begin on time. All
these were put in a bright. pithy style,
and went to the point"
Mr. Lawrence made a splendid impress
sion on the people of Ralaigh. He is a
business man and goes at things with
business in. view. He left yesterday for
Wilmington and will be present at the
State Sunday School meeting in Fayette-
/ vile. where he is certain to be one of
the telling forces for a good meeting.
