ernoon school is C. II. Lanham and his as
sistant is John J. Newbill. The two schools
employ Mrs. NJ. r. Skinner as missionary.
Mrs. Skinner visits the homes OF pupils
who are not regular in attendance. and. like
the assistants to the pastor. makes reports
to the superintendent.
Mr. Carleton Is enthusiastic about the
work of the school and. although he is bur-
dened with the affairs of great corporations
he finds time to examine each report. When
one of the twenty-four teachers OF the
morning school is absent Mr.. Carleton die
tates a personal letter, asking for an ex-
cuse, and 1t is said that these are as care
fully attended to as the replies to business
letters which he receives.
Teachers who are delinquent in their duty
as to attendance or preparation are deli
cately. but firmly, dismissed. Each Sunday
morning. fifteen minutes before the opening
OF the school. the superintendent conducts
prayer meeting for his teachers.
The same plan is followed in the after
noon school. which Is largely taught by the
larger pupils Of the morning school, When
a vacancy occurs In the larger school an
afternoon teacher is given the place, and
thus both schools always have a ready SUD-
ply from which to draw

complete list has been gone over these will
be published and distributed among the con-
gregation.
If no trace OF them can then be found.
Doctor McMurry has evolved a novel
/ scheme for locating them.
He has learned of company which, for
10 cents. will undertake to deliver pack
age to any person in any city Of the coun-
try. He proposes to address a package of
subscription envelopes to members who can
not be found and send them to this COM
pany to be delivered. The company will
address postal cards to these persons noti-
flying them that they hold a package ad-
dressed in their name.
In time the postal department will be re-
quired to use its efforts to deliver the postal
cards. Eventually the answers will be re-
ceived and referred to Doctor McMurry.
In this manner he hopes to obtain the ad-
dress of many persons who cannot now be
found. --..-. o. b. ~.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
In administering the affairs Of Centenary
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the
Reverend Doctor W. F. McAfurry probably
spends more hours a day actively engaged
in business than any other man in St Louis.
From the time he arises at $50 o'clock in
the morning until the days work Is done
at II o'clock at night there Is scarcely a
minute that is not devoted to laboring for
Centenary Church.
The church Is run on as strict principles
es any business house in the city. Doctor
McMurray and his three paid assistants
have their regular duties each day, and
