If we could see a little spring when it's waters bubble up for the first time pausing at the edge of it's fountain, we would know that this way leads through green valleys and along calm river beds to the sea, while that way leads down steep cataracts in a turbulent course to the deep and dan gerous marsh.

 Miss Kennedy Speaks.
 "The Graded Sunday School was the allotted subject for the afternoon, and Miss Minnie Kennedy spoke for twenty five minutes on "The Elementary De- partments." Miss Kennedy, in her calm manner, spoke with clear enunciation so she could be heard from the farthest corners. She psed a blackboard for H. lustration and every word was of the greatest interest.
 She began by explaining just what the properly organized graded elementary de- partment is. In the first place, Is the cradle roll. or babies from birth to years of age. Then come the beginners, or children from 3 to 5, followed by the primary grade from to 9. The junior is the department extending from to 13 years of age.
 In the very opening she impressed upon her hearers that these divisions or stages in life. are not positive and entirely different from each other. but that they are blended with continuity and unity. However. there is also continuity in unity. a fact iilustrated by q little plant held in her hand. No one can tell where the different fibers in this little plant begin and end. yet here is the root. here the stem and here the leaves They are all blended together in a harmonious whole.
 Now. all the grades in life are inn portant. but there Is q reason why the first thirteen years are even more irn- portant than the others. In the first place, it Is the foundation time, when strong and deep sleepers are laid for a powerful and impregnable life. or small and contracted foundations are laid un-

workers in the Sunday School Cause,
 Ladies and Gentlemen
 Another year has been added to the records of the past, and we have assem- bled together again, by the grace of God, in the capacity of a state sunday school convention, our twenty-fourth annual convention, to counsel together about the great work we have In hand, to gar ned the sheaves of experience and plant the seeds of further progress, to divide our burdens and multiply our blessings. to gather greater wisdom and renewed inspiration, and to seek together in all humility at the feet of Him whom we serve for that abounding spiritual and moral power which comes only from above. Let us not for a moment. through out this convention, forget to look unto the hills, whince cometh our help"
 It is a great inspiration to me to look out over this acre of earnest faces, you seem an acre-full of folks to me-and to consider the untold possibilities for good which so numerous a conclave of intelli- gent and minded people presents. This Is an hour potential, an occasion keenly interesting. Like a great ocean liner, which has cleared the docks, gained the channel and bid goodbye to the tug. our convention, which began with excel lent addresses yesterday, is now under full breeze of divine approval. God grant that her voyage may be proptiousl Well might he sing with Longfellow:
 "We know that Master laid thy keel. What workman wrought thy ribs of steel. Sail oni nor fear to breast the sea: Our hearts. our hopes, are all with thee: Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our
 tears,
 Our faith, triumphant OCT our fears. Are all with thee, are all with thee!'

gether and slept together for years with out ever difficulty The other day I ran splinter in this one. and the other came hurriedy, without appointing com mittee, and asked if it could help. So it must be with our churches. If one is in trouble let the other rush to give aid.
 'The third word is Education Last year there were 15,O00 Sunday school conventions in the world, and 2,500,00O people attended This is a day when all classes and professions see the value and education in conventions. We cannot measure the value of this gathering, for it may bear fruit twenty years to come.'
 The fourth which he mentioned was Evangelization, for he considered the Sun day school the greatest power for saving others on earth How beautiful it is to see men work together in unison.
 Finally, want you to understand the power of personal visitation. What great things can be accomplished by the in- ternational officers visiting the states and provinces, the state officers visiting the counties, on down to the school officers visiting the homes. This is what organiza- tion means"
 Big Sum Is Raised.
 After a few more remarks MT. Pearce made an appeal for the taking the pledges first by counties, then from individuals. These subscriptions were taken at both the twin meetings and 1t was impossible to estimate the sum total, but 1t will reach near to the $65,000 point, toward which the officers aimed.
 This session was full of interest in other ways The choir of trained voices sang a number of selections, and as the Hale lujah song by special request was sung there burst out loud applause. The sing CTS are meeting with more and more commendation as the convention pro- presses.
 Dr. Dickinson lead the devotional ex- ercses, in the absence of the Rev. w. R. Hendix, who could not attend. and with enthusiastic song the second day was brought to an end.
 At the First Presbyterian church the overflow from the main hall filled the building and the same programme was carried out l.. P. Leaveil lead the meet ing and talked along the same lines as MT. Pearce. The devotional exercises were led by the Rev. Dr. W. G. Woodbridge.

Devotional Meeting During Afternoon

OeVotIonal Mecting OuTin9 AIteTnoon.
 The most devotional meeting yet held by the State Sunday school convention was that in the First Baptist church yes- terday afternoon. The speakers, Miss Min nle Kennedy, J. B. Green Prof l.. P. Leavell and W. c. Pierce, were so im- bued with enthusiasm and handled their subpects with such ability that the audi cnce, which crowded the auditorium, lis- tened with spelbound attention.
 So appropriate and earnest was the de- votonal service conducted by the Rev. J. A. Bryan, pastor of the Central Presby- tcrian church, that the spirits of the workers mingled from the beginning. He opened with a scripture reading. and after little talk lead the congregatlng in singing Let Your Lights Be Burning"
 After one verse, while everyone was kneeling. he called for short. one sen tence prayers, and from all parts of the building these little applications went up fervently. Then. after another stanza, MT. Bryan recited several appropriate verses from the Bible, while one by one men and women rose in their seats and quoted the verse next to their hearts.
 While the delegates were still kneeling,

Occasion Auspicious.

cious From the moment that we unsus- pectingly stepped from our several rail- road coaches and walked into the very arms of the white caps.'' we have been made to feel, not only the greatness of Birmingham, but the wideness of her vel come. Her heart is as deep as her build figs are high. Is is not often that you will find such a strenuous industrial center which so well combine old-time hospitality with modern business activity. As patri- otic Alabamans, thoroughly in sympathy with the fullest possible development of the God-giyen resources of our wonderful state, and this it's most wonderful dis trict, we are proud of Birmingham. The ceaseless hum and roar of machinery and transportation, the quick-stepping throngs upon her streets, publish abroad her re- markable activity and development as 1t exists today, while the flames from her mighty furnaces write across the dark scroll of night prophecy of her future industrial supremacy.
 But greater than all this is the spirit of her people; that spirit which prompted so many of them to lay aside for time their material affairs, and to invite, pre- pare and generously entertain this im- mense convention of people met for the moral and spiritual betterment of our state. All this speaks eoquently of the idcL t1dl blInllDSudlii, WItl tii Ol ltS iii- dustrial prowess, realizes that greater than her factories and furnaces, higher than her factories and furnaces, higher banks and trust companies. more endur- ing than her mines and minerals, are the virtues of Christian manhood and womanhood for the development of which the Sunday school forces of Alabama pre- eminently stand.
