 OF OVER A HUNDRED
Composed of the Young Men and Young Women of Court Street
 Methodi.rt Church.

which meets at s:30 a. m. and to which We extend 10 your cordial invitation
 Respectfully,
 B. NJ. Washburn, Teacher. If card is received and is not respond- ed to in several Sundays the person to whom 1t was addressed is sought out by the teacher or some member of the class and they are soon brought into the fold. The teacher is doing the Lords work and is being aided. as is seen by the list elsewhere by splendid band of men and women, who are taking deep inter- est in the matter in hand and have great pride in their class work.
 The Teacher.
 MT. B. M. Washburn, the teacher, needs no introduction to the people ot Montgomery or to the Methodists of Ala bama. He Is a successful business man in this city and an earnest, zealous church worker and consecrated Christian. He is the Treasurer of the Alabama Con. ference and a most useful and helpful member of the Court Street Methodist Church. Speaking of his Bible class, he said: We have nearly a hundred on our class roll, with an average attendance Of sixty-five or seventy. These are young men and young women who had gotten too large to attend Sunday School and we had to go out and draw them In. l

the miserly father with pride and admi-
 So it came about that the son was pIaced in charge of the fathers books and accounts. and to prices of ham and lard and flour the young bokkeeper ad- ded fractions of cents on bils of customers and often added articles and substance of food to considerable amounts
 The father knew. but he remained silent He was too dull and too mean in his ffties amid his coffers of gold to suspect that his customers would not stand to be bribed and robbed long,
 You're making a good business man, my boy." he often said to the son. Fol low in the footsteps of your father and you'U win the battles of life"
 And with this encouragement the son continued his folly. To small accounts h. added enough to make them what ne considered worth while to fool with. if badc him credit the customers accounts who had paid, and presented some of them bills a second time. When pay uent was refused he, with the father s assent entered suit and was remarkably successful in each.
 Rut the business began to decrease. Nrifher the father nor the son suspected that the firm was losing ground in the commercial world, and until the estab- Iishment was placed in the hands of the sheriff did they realize that they were ruined The fathers money was gone-the son | had never made any.
 The father in his wrath drove the son | from the mothers home, and he wander 1 ed to the West.

A great deal has been said in the news papers of late about the Bible Glass of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. at the Fifth Avenue Church. New York City, and we have been told how he looks the very picture of amiaoility and goodness" and how he appears in the best of humor with himself and the rest of the world" He Is doing a good work and deserves all the good .hings said about him, but it is not of MT. Rockefeller that I started to write. It may not be generally known that right here in Montgomery there Is Bible Class that would put the young multi-mllionaire to shame any day both as to numbers and in It's personnel, which Is made up of many of the leading peo- pie of Montgomery in piety and social standing. The class numbers over hln- dred with an average attendance of over sixty. It is made up of adults Of the Court Street Methodist Church and MT. B. Nj. Washburn is the teacher He Is prompt in attendance and his lectures ai- ways interest and attract the closest at tention.
 He says of his class: There were young men and young ladies who had gotten too large to attend Sunday Senooi and we had to go out and draw them in. This they did with the result that the class is now made up of the following:

wish you could come and see our class some Sunday morning l would like to introduce our young people to you"
 Talking of the work, which he always does with earneStness and enthusiasm, MT. Washburn continued We have had two off Sundays: the rain was too much for us but for all that we had over one third of our class present. The first Sun day in April was review day and my GUS tom Is to call for volunteer talks on the lessons we have been over during the quarter. l do xery little talking on re- view Sunday. Our class is conducted on the lecture plan, hence the name Busy Peoples Class" Young men, and young ladies also. who are engaged in business occupations during the week have but meager chance to prepare Sunday School lessons; besides it is very embarrassing to an adult to be questioned or the Bible when not prepared on the lesson and the tendency will be to drive them away from the class. Following the advice of our great Sunday School man, Dr. Hamill, l study thoroughly the lesson and teach my class by the lecture plan. and have been convinced that 1t is the most bene- fieiai. as well as convenient manner of conducting a Bible class.
 T regard the work of the Bible teach CT as one of great responsibility to God, as well as delightful task In this city, where there are so many evil influences to lead young men in the downward ca- reer l am very thankful If l can do something to retard the influences of the devil in his work among young people.
 The Honor Roll.
 The honor roll is made up of those who have 10; missed q meeting and for the last quarter was made up as follows: R. s Armistead, Lawrence Bear, Henry Ellis, J. R. Kelley. w. J. Morris Marvin McCrackin. s. C. Starke.
 It will be seen by the roll published above that there are over an hundred and twice during the past quarter there has heen an attendance of over seventy ard seldom has there been under sixty percent. So far as Is known this is the banne. Bible class in Alabama and new Bibles are most acceptable. Some partial friends have sent ten new Bibles at one time recently and like contribution was made about two months ago.
 Tho prayers of Gods n"ople everywhere and especially of the fathers and mothers of the young people of our city, will be with MT. Washburn and his co-workers in the excellen; Christian work they are doing in their Bible class and may the richest blessings attend them is their sin cere prayer.

A Story of a lIiser.

He had walked through the valleys of death, the valleys of sin, the valleys of money.
 In childhood he was taught to hoard the nirkles and dimes he made by running errands for the bank, for clerlNng in his miserly fathers grocery store, for keping the books of the same.
 If he spent one dime 10 treat his friends or if he gave to them two pen nies worth In wares from his fathers store he felt a rumbling in his head and was tortured in mind because his father read his thoughts, and reading them fed him like is favorite dog on bread and water, thing that his paternal parent was often prone to do.
 And it came to pass that he had tew friends-uo loyal ones. When even they volunteered to spend nickel for half pound of his fathers caramels he proudly confessed to the old man that he short weighed them two caramels. | Ry this metr~1 of business with certain lhimitatinns and vague idea of principle that father had become rich and gloried Nin his coffsrs 1ae son glorisd too. and his Aevilis desire te acquire even more than | 9Tat of. his 9 ther made him dishonest l sA his deallGsX which looNea on Dy
