SUFFERING---GETi WELL.

Marion Lawrance, the only speaker on the evening program, in his address on The Organized Work"
 T am aware" he said. that organ ization appears a dry theme, but never in the history of the world has it been so apparent as it is today. Or ganization is In the air. It is impos- porations must have it. the storekeeper must have it. It is simply economy of men and time and money.
 He characterized the convention as the product of organization. The meeting of. the evening. he said, was not the Alabama Sunday School Asso- citation. It was merely the expression of the Association.
 We have come here today, the larg est convention Alabama has ever had to get a fresh glimpse of the face of the work which we have to do, and to go back into every part of the State and tell what we have heard, so that there shall not be man or a woman or a child who will not know of it.. And that is what I mean by organi- zation."
 He declared that the teachers in the Sunday Schools must be competent and thoroughly instructed themselves. stat ing that that is one of the conditions of organization.
 l nat we may hHOW WHdt WS nave to do and how to do it. he said. we have come here. You are not here be- carse the speakers know more than the audience, but that each may learn from the other what to do and how to do it.
 The State organization was formed. he said, because of the impracticability of all it's members attending national and international conventions. Of the nnt t.Y1tt taG IT, la han al 1tn a " organizations.
 And I know that when a county Is organized in Alabama. it Is not organ ized on paper merely, not for show, but 1t Is organized for work"
 He urged that the counties should form districts organizations and should hold conventions
 The speaker referred to the spread of the Sunday School movement from the United States to other countries, and called 1t "the underminer of Pa garism.'' Tn India alone there are 500,000 members of Christian Sunday Schools, the result of the American movement.
 It was at this point that he referred to the growing tendency of denomina- tions to draw closer together.
 Message From MT. Pettus.
 At the conclusion of MT. Lawi ance's dVuAcSS' d SSioSidH WdS icdu hU liS convention from R. E. Pettus of Hunts vile, expressing in Biblical quotation his good will toward the meeting and the object for which 1t Is being held.
 Il was then announced that the ser vices today will be held in duplicate. ip the First Presbyterian Church and the Court Street Methodist Church. At the former. the sunrise prayer meeting will be conducted by B. pavie ot Clay- ten. while at the latter the same ser vice will be conducted by Rev w M Cox of the Dexter Avenue Methodist Church.
