Servant ProhIem SnINad-

pressed lips and the determined
eyes.
"You have?" asked the other per-
son.
81 have. When things get to such
a pass that the hired girls want
three days out in the week, want the
use of the parlor every other night
and Sunday afternoon, want me to
play soft love songs while they are
entertaining their beaus in the
kitchen on other evenings, insist on
the privilege of debating what gro
ceries and meats l shall buy, claim
the right to wear my clothes and
bonnets, dictate whether or no !
shall keep dog or child, succeed
in having my house decorated and
furnished to accord with their tastes,

longer?"
Better than that. I am going
to hire out as a servant and enjoy
life. Judge.

Absentminded.

An absentminded man was COM
planning of his infrmity when a
friend said:
"You are like the old father ut
the wedding, Ell? A young bride
groom, after the wedding was over
and the brides old father had gone
off to the club, began to search anx-
lously among the wedding gifts.
What are you looking for,
dear !? said the bride.
"'That $4,000 check of your ia
ther's,' he said anxiously. 4 don't
see it anywhere
Poor papa is so absentminded,
said the bride. He lit his cigar
with it."

Compulsory Archery.

Archery was once a compulsory
exercise in every English parish aft
er Sunday church. 'It is a worthy
game" preached Bishop Latimer, ga
wholesome kind Of exercise and
much commended in physic." A
fine of .halfpenny for abstaining
from archery practice on Sunday
was enforced in Edward Ills reign,
and Henry Wills crack regiment,
the yeomen of the guard, was COM
posed entirely Of bowmen. Archery
hourished some time after the intro
duction of the hand gun, though
this had been used in England as
early as 1471. This developed, in
James rs time, into the caliver, so
called from the English misconcep-
ton of an order to supply English
soldiers with guns of the same "cali-
Der" as the French pattern, and the
longbow was finally abandoned in
the civil wars.

Three Crowns.

During the middle ages the cleo
tive emperors Of Germany at their
coronation wore three crowns-the
silver crown as king Of Germany,
the iron crown of Lombardy as king
of Italy and the imperial crown as
kaiser of the holy Roman empire.
The first was received at Aix-la-
Chapellc. the second at Monza and
the third at Rome, but Karl V. was
the last kaiser-king who received
the imperial crown at the pope's

AFTERNOON SESSION.
santa Claus as an Institution Attacked
 by MT. Van Eaudt,

That the tales of Santa Claus and the Sand Man, and the various myths upon which childish imagination has fed from time out of mind, consti- tute one of the most harmful infiuenc- es on the character of the growing child and injure the strength of his religious impulses, was the contention brought out by Jerome Van zandt of Gadsden at the afternoon meeting of the Sunday School Convention in the First Presbyterian Church.
 The confidence which the child has placed in his parent, declared Mir. Van Zandt. Is destroyed at just that age when it is most difficult to restore. This destruction of an ideal which the parent has set up is apt to make the child question the truth of other mat ters which the parent has inculcated in his mind, with the result that faith in religion and religious teachings Is often killed.
 The contention was brought out by Mr Van Zandt in the course of an address on Work Amang Young Peo- ples" Not only did the speaker at tack the wisdom of telling children of the Santa Claus. He went further. The international system of supplying Sun day school students of all grades. and all parts of the country. with the same lessons for the same day, he declared was useless. It tended to a dead level commonplace of interest which would

 The speaker said that the people from all parts of the State have been unusually liberal in gifts to the Sun day School work during the past year. He paid especial credit for the effi- ciency of the Association and it's work to the untiring efforts of Judge Jo- seph Carthel and Miss Minnie E. Ken nedy He pointed out with words of thanks the efforts of Judge Carthe of Montgomery in behalf of the Asso- citation, and urged that for the coming year a secretary should be appointed to assist that official in his work.
 Judge Carthel has looked over every branch of the work" he declared. and it has grown to such proportions that it is impossible for him to look after it unassisted any longer"
 At the close of the presidents re- marks, R. E. Lewis paid a tribute to the efficient services rendered by the chief executive of the Association dur. ing the past year,
 Perhaps the most interesting report -r ktz- afyaa tn was that of c. c. Miles of Montgomery covering the work of the Executive Committee of the organization, and making the following recommendation for the conduct of the work during the coming year: -.
 That the counties and district con ventions lay emphasis on the import ance of reaching and helping the dis trict and country Sunday Schools every year; that the counties which have not come up to the banner standard be urged to hold conventions In every

General secretary's Work.

The General Secretary has been in | active service during the entire year. | He has visited forty-three counties,
 attended thirty-five County Conven-
 lions, fourteen District Conventions, I and twelve Institutes.
 l owing to the fact that our stenos- | rspher, MT. Palmer, left us last sum- | mer to attend college, we were with | out sufficient ofssce force during the
 summer and fall, so that upon the General Secretary has devolved a larg- | CT amount of office work. than usual
 and for that reason he has not been | able to visit as many counties as he
 would liked to have done Since the | first of January we have had a ste- | nographer and he has been able to keep up the office work and look after | outside work.
 | Our Primary Secretary. Miss Minnie | E. Kennedy has done splendid work. | She has visited twenty-eight counties | held forty-nine Institutes. attended | eighteen County Conventions and six 1 teen District Conventions. A large l part of her tire has been given during | this year to the counties of Jefferson | and Mobile.
 We have not been able to help as | many counties and hold many In- | stitutes since the first of January as we usually do, because about two iilOHlHS dBVt OW iH6 tO tnN f'iS SCilOuo l illness of a near relative our Primary Secretary had to cancel her engage ments and devote a large portion of her time to this relative.
 The Financial COD-R4tiOn.
 "Tt is very gratifying to be able to report to the Convention that our finances are in better condition than
 they have ever been. At the State Convention last year pledges consid- erably in excess of that raised at any previous Convention. A sum of over $4, 900 has been collected to date, leav-
 ing balance of $S,464 due and unpaid. We expect that as usual a considera- bie sum will be paid in at the Con vention and we hope to materially de- crease the unpaid pledges.
 "A detailed statement Of the hnanc- es will be made by the Treasurer in his report.
 We want to thank our friends for the hearty cooperation that they have given us in the matter of finances. The work of the Convention has grown so large that we really need another worker and we must employ one or more OF we cannot keep pace with the progress of the work. It is our purpose to put other workers in the field as soon as tn sufficient funds can be secured.
 The newspapers of the state have been very liberal in advertising the Con ventfon for us and the thanks of the Convention are due to our papers, both daily and weekly. for then courtesy in advertising the State Convention. The railroads have granted the delegates attending this Convention a one-fare rate. plus 25 cents, a better rate than we have ever been able to secure. and the success of the Convention is due not only to the thoroughness of the work, but also to the great assistance render ed us by the newspapers of the state and the liberality of the railroads in granting our delegates cheap rates.
 We congratulate the Convention up- on the fact that our representation Is so great and the State has been touched at so many points The presence of the State Convention in a1gg city orI

the Court Street Methodist Church.
 The greater part of the time of the sessions was consumed fin the work of receiving. pledges from counties, Sunday Schools. churches and individu- ais to be used in defraying the expenseS Of the State Sunday School work for the next year.
 At the Court Street Church so much Of the time was consumed in that way that Marion Lawrance of Toledo, Ohio, the speaker of the evening, postponed his address and only said few words. At the First Presbyterian Church the devotional exercises were conducted by Rev s. L. Robertson.
 President Russell then introduced Dr. A. A. Little of Selms to the congre- gation. Dr. Little said he had been asked by the program committee to give some reasons for increased de- votion to the Sunday School work, which he proceeded to do in convincing and entertaining style. c. C. Miles. Chairman of the State Executive Committee. was next speaker on the program. He said that though he had thought Of a great many things to say on the subject of Sunday School work on this occasion, the speakers preceding him had covered the ground so thoroughly that there was nothing Ieft for him to say. He, however, did say some good things bearing on the Sunday School work
 Mir Miles put before his congrega tIon the need of much larger amount of money for the next year than they have ever had before
 He said that 10 place sn assistant secretary in the field would entail in- creased expenditure of money, but the services of one or two more secreta- ries are needed.
 HA asked that ss.o0o be pledged to defray the years expenses.
 At the Court Street Church a sim
 liar request was made by Marion Law rance. and the combined pledges re- ceived at the two churches amounted to about $4.600.
 The music for the convention has been under the direction of Junius Pierce and has been. one of the enjoy able features of the services.
 The members of the choir who have contributed to the pleasure of the oc- casion are: Mrs. Charles Campbell. Miss Lula Helle Mathews. Miss Jewell Dickson. Misses Barry, Miss R F.. Chambless. Miss Isabel Cox, Messrs. L. K. Sterrett. W. Anderson, Henry Pil- ley and Barry. Miss Adele simmons. organist

faith of the growing boy in that which has been taught him, he urged that the object of the modern Sunday school should be to interest the young people so that they would not leave it.
 The church must enlarge Its spirit ual and moral horizon" he declared. Tt must do away with its old doctrinal holdings as the sole magnet with which to draw the youthful attention. and must pay more attention to the changes which added culture have wrought in religious beliefs. The churches must change to meet new conditions. The Sunday school must change to suit the changes Of human nature. The church is waking up to these new conditions and it's awakening is sign of the pro gress of the times
 The speaker attacked the system which supplies the same Sunday school lessons for all people, and for all grades of pupils People differ. he declared and should be approached with different subjects. There Is a sad lack In the present system of instruction In this respect.
 At the close of the speaking, the following were named as committed to present nominations for election to offices In the State organization tomor- row: R. r. Lewis. Jefferson county C. T. Marsh. Madison County; 1T. C. Du- Bose, Monroe County; W. P. Jones, Gov. ington County; S. H. Blan. Pike; D. H Marbury, Autauga: T. w. Crumpton Chiffon; J. C. Suttle, Bibb; T. L.. Peek Morgan: R. O.
