the plan in detail.
Mr. N. B. Broughton. chairman of the
State Executive Committe and Mr.. S. M.

and to arouse deeper interest in the
Sunday school work. A convention OF
one and one-half days will be held in
each county, as arranged in the itinerary
below. The Sunday schools of every de-
nomination in these counties are urged
to send delegates and take an active
part in the work of the convention. A
large four-page souvenir program for use
at each convention will be provided, and
a copy with the prospectus of the tour,
will be sent beforehand to every Sunday
school superintendent and pastor in each
county. In addition a circular letter
together with a large illustrated Q4x42
inches) will be sent to each superinten-
dent urging that delegates be appointed
to represent his school. The necessary
arrangements for the meeting at each
place, have been put in the hands of a
loca! committee OF arrangements, who
will select place of meeting, appoint COM
m:ttees and otherwise prepare for the
coming of the party. A special program
has been arranged covering almost every
phase of Sunday school work. In addi-
ton to the regular addresses there will
be round table discussions and special
