The Night Session.

The evening session of the institute wa: conducted by MT. w. w. Pearson, Super intendent of the Sunday School of thu Court Street Methodist Church. It wal opened at 7:30 o'clock when the audit1 rum was filled with a large and inter ested audience.
 The first number on the program was "A Church Drill" The subject was "Methodism,' and pr. Hamill took fol his text John Wesley, A. M, Founder of Methodism.''
 Dr. Hamill began his address by treat ing of the necessity of having convictions The man who has convictions commits perhaps many blunders but the greatest blunderer Is the man who has no con vicdons.
 He believed in every man and woman standing for something.
 q believe" said pr. Hamill, thai God has more respect for downright sinner than for a spineless saint
 Dr. Hamill spoke of the doctrines of Methodism. They arc the one thing that the General Conferedce ce can never change. He told of some of the peculiarities Of Methodism. One was that though many other churches believed in Justification by faith" Wesley believed in 'Justifi- cation by faith only
 ne pdlu lne InShcSt lo tIt mother of Wesley-Susannah Wesley He told of visit to the home of Wes- ley, and his grave. Then he searched for one more thing-the grave of Wes. ley's mother. When he found it marked by a crumbling stone with the name ''Susannah Wesley" scarcely decipherable upon it. he laid red rose upon the grave as a tribute to the real founder of Methodism.'
 Mrs. Hamill followed with an addres. on "The Primary Experimentation to Teach It." No pe:son will succeed as d teacher of the child. sad Mrs. Hamill, who does not take a delight in the work, rather than regard it as dose or a duty. She proceeded then to draw a plan for the best and most successful teaching of the primary department. using illus trations particularly apt and pleasing.
 Dr. Hamill closed the program with q talk on The Modern Superintendent and His School" He told of one Superintend- ent who was successful because of his enthusiasm; of another because of his great devotion to the work, and of still another-one whom the audience recog- nized-who had built up a wonderful school by fine business method.
 Before he closed Dr. Hamill said that he was much gratified by the spirit of the institute, and the attendance. He thought it an encouraging sign in Montgomery that so great degree of interest was manifested in Sunday School work
 There will be three sessions today at the usual hours. Tonights session clos ss the institute.
 Other delegates who have arrived are: Mrs. E. E. Gaddis of Wetumpka, MT. M Lightfoot of Brundidge, MT. Wilkinson of Autaugaville and MT. J. W. Murphy of Jackson.

count of the drill breaking off in the well. This broken drill has been removed, however, and the work of sinkin gthe well Is progressing rapidly. Two forces are employe1 and they are working night and day. The prospects are most flat teripg.
 The well at Hartselle has been sunk to the depth of 400 feet and considerable amount of gas has Teen found and also some oil This well will be sunk to the lepth of 5000 feet if necessary to hnd oil in paying quantities.
 Work on the well of the North Alaba' ma Stapdard oil and Gas Company has been suspended for some time, but to- day Lem Pones, President of the com pany, said that his company was aboui to close a contract with a party of drii- lers to sink their well at Fafkvile 50U feet deeper and that operations would commence within thirty days.
 The expert in charge of this we'll says that after a careful examination he finds the indications for oil more fiattering at Falkville than at any place in North Alabama.
 Operations closed on this well last May on account of the financial condition of the company. At that time the well had been sunk to a depth of 1000 feet and some oil was found, but not in paying quantities.
 The expert in charge says the well must go deeper and now that the com pany has made arrangements to sink 1t 5O0 fet deeper it is believed a rich flow of oil will be the result.
