Saturday, 9th June, 1903.

Although the first part of June was drv.
the balanca OF the month has been in most
places very favourable for agricultural orer-
atoms. The town of Christiansted and the
immediate neighbourhood appear. as far as
we can learn, to be the least favoured dis
trict in this respect, the total fall for the
month to date being in town barely 70 lines.
Many other places, however, have been much
better off, so that the average fall will GER
talnly be much higher than ours but # will
PROBABLY take some heavy showers in the
short remaining period of the month, if this
June's rainfall is to be brought up to the
long period average, which we find to be
308 lines.
The way in which the rain has fallen in
occasional showers, has suited the SOWING of
the cotton seed, now in fall progress, as we'll
as it could possibly do; and in regard to cane.
while some OF the estates have had far too
little rain, others have had sufficient TO
bring the young plants forward in O most
promising manner.
The rain has not yet been sufficient to
open the springs, and there is still a scarcity
OF water in a few places on the island hit

What The Biggest
Sunday School Glass
In Dixie Is Doing
BY BURR BLACKBURN.

The biggest Sunday school class In
Dixiel Few people have believed the
rumor which has been circulating
around the state to the effect that Bir-
mingham holds the Sunday school
record, which is an example for the
VIII ole state, but when they get within
n block of the First Cumberland Pres
byterian church on Sunday morning
they are convinced that something
marvellous has come to pass, for at
$3.50 the sidewalks are blocked with
students as they go In single file.
By a great revival of the Christian
spirit. Glass No. IL has brought its
attendance up to 374 young men and
women and an enrolment of more than
500. Strange to say there are not more
than three whole Sunday schools IN
the city with such an attendance, while
Glass No. IL is composed of young men
and women between the ages of IS
and 80.
There is but one way to find he
cause of this effect. To the teacher
J. S. Bridges, is due the inception Of
the plan, but its success is traced not
only to his interesting lectures but to
the enthusiastic effort of the officers
and members of the class. AS Mr.
Bridges says:
This work has been accomplished
by well organized effort in which
every member of the class has been
active. The membership has spread like

bers. Four years ago there were 166

this dropped down to so. On New
Y ears day the class decided on great
campaign. The executive committee,
which is composed of all the officers
met and decided on rules for a mighty
contest. The committee then selected
two leaders, or vice presidents, divided
The 70 members then in good standing
into two sections, and placed vice
president at the head of each section
From the beginning the class colors
had been Purple and Gold, so each section
adopted one of the colors as its nama
and the fight began to see which side
would make the most points within the
first three months. Cards were given
each member. and each new member, AMI
it was possible for a pupil to make five
points on one Sunday if he was on timc,
carried his Bible and contribution and
knew his lesson. Thus it became not only
an incentive to the contesting sides to
get new members but to keep up the at
tendance of the old ones
The contest began on the third Sunday
and the growth is shown by the following
figures: 1874, Isl, 22l, 262, 25S, 912, 352, Sl4
and 225 last Sunday. which was a stormy,
lainy day when many Sunday schools
closed their doors without any pupils.

points and the Colds had 1918. The con-

the executive committee has determined

test ends today and it is expected that
1te attendance will jump beyond the 400
mark.
But membership is not all the class is
driving at. 1t is just ending the class
building campaign, yet all the time the
evangelical spirit has been the leader.
While the class is made uo of all denom
nations the fight has been made without
any PROSECUTING whatever. No person has

where he was really an active member.
II has been only the drifting element
which has dropped out of Sunday school

Mr.. Bridges has attempted TO wake. Con-
versions, no matter what church the
Christian may join, is the great object.
One Sunday with this class is indeed
inspiration for any man. The Sunday
school room of DR.. Steeles church is ar
.'anged SO that all the people, both down
stairs and in the balcony, can look direct

as he stands on the rostrum. Originally
Nc IL occupied only small section of

gradually removed until now the whole
Is used and 400 people have to be crowded

After the class has filed past the sec
rotary and handed in the cards they take
their seats in the balcony, the Puppies on
enc side of the aisle and the Colds on the
other. They then take part with the
main school in the opening exercises,
after which curtains are dropped. cutting

There is a charm about the life of
college professor that can be found in no
ether occupation. Nowhere else is life SO
bouyant, so hopeful, or comradeship SO
strong and so directive of character. The
Influence of a professor is broader and
stronger than perhaps even he guesses.
The University of Mississippi is for
tunate amid these times of shifting the

lie stands on a table and with maps and
charts and blackboard uses the lecture
method to great advantage. The atten-
ton is phenomenal, for the teacher does
rot hesitate to call out the name of
member who leelSs away. The evangelis-
tic appeal has SO far been used in the
close of every lesson, and after a short

When the school is dismissed the cur

who gives a great deal of her time to the
work, places the result Of the days con-
test on the board, whereupon the win

feeling with clapping and laughter. AS
the vice presidents of one and then the
other side rise to give their announce

are greeted with cheers, and the business
meeting closes with another handshaking,
and the class benediction.
