to a member of the Stoller Commits

when the firm made known its pur-
pose to paper the walls of its Offices
with Cancelled checks. The checks
were the accumulation of several
years. The idea of using them for
wall paper in fanciful designs was a

later on.
The third paper hanger that an

say that it has discovered that its

it is necessary to install new machin-

The machinery cannot be, though

has been no indication on the part of the delegates from the Gulf City of an intention to ask for the next conven- ton, and last night it was an open question as to which city would finally be selected.
 which would gladly take care of the convention If they were able to do 50, tho housing of 1000 or more delegates is a problem which only the cities mentioned are prepared to face with any hope of carrying it through creSft- ably.
 [, It has been suggested in & tentative fashion. in conversation that the com vention should be divided next year, one half of the State holding a meet ing in the Northern part of the State, and the other half in the Southern sec- ton. No mention of this plan has been made publicly however and 1t Is not thought likely that 1t will be brought up for discussion at the present meet ing.
 The program for today includes sum {, rise prayer meetings in the First Pres byterian and Court Street Methodist Churches, and business In the snms churches at 9 o'clock in the morning In the afternoon conferences will be held in the First and Central Presby- terian churches, and at tho Dexter Ave- nue Methodist Church. In these meet ings, the subjects of organized classes for young men and women. the Jun- for workers and the Home Department will be taken up and discussed.

 Two services will be held in the First Presbyterian and the Court Street Methodist Churches in the eve ming, in which the same topic will be treated by different speakers. Hon. $. D. Weakley of Birmingham. Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court will deliver a paper on Civic Right eousness" at the Court street church. and Rev. W.

Mallory of Selma and Rev. J. K. B. Spain of Mobile, respectively.
 With the close of the evening ses- sions today the convention will come to an end. The delegates will begin leaving the city during the afternoon, and although many of them will re- main until tomorrow. a large majority will have left before the late night trains.

gathering in working order. The pro- gram was well under way, and at every meeting the churches in which the speakers addressed the convention were crowded with delegates. It was esti- mated at the close of the days ser- vices last night that at the six ser vices last night. no less than twelve thousand persons had attended the exercises planned for the day.
 The work of the reception was not completed on Tuesday night. All dur ing that night, and until near noon yesterday struggling parties of dele- gates continued to arrive in the city. several hundred adding their names to the list of the city's guests which on Tuesday night had numbered In the neighborhood of 1000. The capacity of the city and the homes of the city seemed sufficiently elastic to meet the exigenoies of the occasion. however, and all of the out-of town people who were in attendance were comfortably cared for.
 At the midday luncheon served in the Court Street Methodist Church yester- day. the number that partook of the repast prepared by the ladies of Mont gomery was even larger than on the preceding day. The fires that had been burning on the lot all of the previous night, barbecuing meats for the hungry furnished meat for over twelve hundred famished guests. who thronged the Sum day school room of the Methodist church for more than an hour.
 During the afternoon. large parties of the visitors neglected the meetings and went sightseeing about the his- toric city, visiting the capitol, riding through the suburbs. and seeking other places of interest or pleasure. The at tendance in the churches was so large, however, that the absence of these par ties did not diminish the audiences to any appreciabIe extent.

 Today Is to be the legislativS session of the convention. Action will be taken upon the recommendations of the exc cutive committee submitted in its re- port of yesterday. officers will he elect ed for the ensuing year. and the place for the next annual convention of the Association will be selected.
 Over this question later there was considerable speculation among the delegates. owing to the rapid growth of the Association during the last year the number of delegates which will at- tend further conventions practically debars all but the largest cities of the State from extending an invitation for next years meeting. It is thought by the leaders of the Association that at present there are only three cities m the State which could have hoped to cope with the immense throng of vis ttors which are in attendance at the present meeting. These three are Mont gomery, Birmingham and Mobile. The fact that the convention Is being held here naturally preCludes tho possibil- ity Of another invitation being extend- ! ed for the next meeting, Birmingham was the host city last year, and this leaves Mobile alone among the cities to whom 1t is thought the convention should go Thus far, however, there

Miss Minnie Kennedy of Opelika. the State Primary Secretary, in making her annual report to the convention, had prepared map of the State. with counties marked showing the locations of the work which she had done the past year.
 Miss Kennedy Is an interesting speak, CT and is so thoroughly imbue1 with the spirit of her work that she never fails to impart to her au1ien,e msas- ure of her o4n enthusiasm and earn estness.
 Her work is by no mems q surface work. She has given of her time and her talent to a cause that needs sucn workers. She has gone deep into the to her audience a message.
 She knows the needs of her own department; she realizes the peculiar necessities of especial effort n the training of children to take the places of men and the message that sine brought to her people--her co-workers in the cause--was thoroughly Iractie al child is greatly infiu ,nccd by it's en- vironments and her solution of one of the problems in child training is in architectural designing of modern churches She believes that if rnore thought and consideration is given to the designing Of church buildings with regard especially to placing the Lri- mary department separate from other departments of the Sunday School that great victory will be won Miss Kennedy said she believed that her theory would be rapidly put into prac- tice.
 She mentioned several towns and cities in the State Tn which new churches arc being designed or are now in course of cons. ruction where her theory of separate class apart ment is being put Into practice Mo- bile has an addition to one of it's churches Sunday School room eret L ed at cost of $30.G90.
 Mss Kennedy said that througho u' the State committees are being sent from the smaller towns and villages to confer with building jtommittees at larger places regarding this matter that the churches for the future may be built wisely and well.
 She told of a number of incidents that had come within her past years experience, as she has gone about in kthe more remote parts of the State where there are few or no advantages, that were pathetic. She said that there was an eagerness to learn among those people; that they are anxious for help and are willing tc carry out any instructions.

 Miss Kennedy.
 The beginners and Primary Confer ence was held yesterday afternoon In the Central Presbyterian Church,
 The devotional exercises conducted by Miss Minnie Kennedy, State Primary Secretary, who also presided at the meeting.
 The special work of the session was hearing reports from Elementary Sec in attendance, but whose reports care fully prepared, were read by Miss Ken nedy
 Among those who were present and made reports were: Mrs. F. B. Miller, Mrs. P. Rowland, Mrs. Nora Robinson. Miss Amanda McDearmid, Mrs. Mimic Allen. Miss Mable Hood. Miss Minnie Chambers, Mrs. J. L. Cawthorn. and Mrs. George c. Robinson.
 The Beginners Program" was dis cussed by Miss Annie l.. Williams of Birmingham. and was one of the most interesting features of the afternoon session. Her suggestions were for the training of the very young children os the Sunday School and to those who are engaged in that branch of the work were very hopeful.
 Mrs. Williams used two charts show, iEg programs of one hour and ono Iidil Hour lcHStN, anu WtHt iHtt q detailed explanation of each program.
 large number of children were present and she addressed herself In manner very attractive and entertain ingly to her young hearers.
 Mrs. B. l.. Brownfield, of Mobile, dis cussed the Beginners Class Taught" and Mrs. T.. L. Woodruff handled her subject. ''The Primary Lesson Con. struction," In a way that showed cara' full study.
 The emphasized thought was that the construction of the Sunday School les son is practically the construction Of the child in the class and is therefore very important. The teacher must be interested in order to interest the pu- pill.
 Miss Mabel Hood of Montgomery. read a well prepared paper on 'atten- tion" in which she gave some valuable. practical advice as to how to attract and hold the attention of children that the best results from, their teaching might be obtained.

ant matters. It marked the opening of the business sessions of the convention. even as today will mark the important legislative acts of the meeting. A program embracing services in two churches, morning. afternoon and even ing. kept the delegates busIly occupied from early morning until after 10 o'clock last night. It was at the morn ing session that the reports of the State officers of the Association were made. which resulted in the large eot- lection of last nights meetings.
 In his report O fthe work of the ex- ecutive committee of the organlza- ton for the last year, c. G. Miles, chair- man. read a number of recommenda- tions which the committee placed before the convention for action. One of these urged the limitation of the term of president of the association to one year, while another asked that at least $6,O00 be raised for the Associational work for the coming year. This sum, 1t was stated. had become an absolute necessity, in view Of the increased amount of business that has accom- ,nanied the increase in size and scope of the Association. Additional assistants are needed to handle the clerical work of the organization. and 1t Is largely for this purpose that the increase was ask ed.
 The total response last night to this appeaI of the executive committee reached S4,6OO. of which $3.S00 was pledged by the different counties in the state. the remainder coming from churches and individuals. When the entire list of counties has been heard from. it is thought the total asked for will have been reached. and that at the husiness sessions today power will be yfven to the executive committee to earrv out it's recommendation.

PRAYERS OF THE CONVENTION
 FOR SICK DAUGHTER OF TREASUREF EF

Among the two thousand and more glad hearts now in attendance at the twenty-third annual convention of the State Sunday School Association In Montgomery. there is at least one which is darkened by the grief and despair of possibly fatal illness.
 Miss Aline Sweat, daughter of M. M. Sweatt, treasurer of the state orga- nization, is lying at the family resi- dence in Montgomery dangerously i'll.
 As the Treasurer read his report to the convention assembled yesterday morning. remembrance of the sick daughter at home came to him. When he had concluded, with tears stream

ing down his face, and voice broken with grief he asked for the prayers of his friends at the meeting for the safety of tho girl at home.
 Silently the packed audience in the Court Street Methodist Church bowed their heads, while Rev. w. M craw- ford. pastor of the Cumberland Presby- terian Church, prayed for the life of the stricken daughter. and for the comfort of the sorrowing family. Tears stood in the eyes of strong men and sobs could be heard from the women, as the pastor made his eloquent ap- peal to the Master, asking for patience for trust and for faith in the hour of threatening darkness.
