Selma, February u.-0 Especial )-Dallas county has ever been a banner county in the Sunday school work in Alabama and the coming summer promises to be one of the most fruitful of results in the history of. organized Sunday school endeayor
 The meeting of the executive committee Of the Dallas County Sunday School asso- ciation, held in the Young Mems Christian association rooms, led and presided over by Chairman H. s. D. Mallory, was large ly attended, several ladies being among those present. President W. T. Atkins Of the county association outlined the work for the coming summer and not little enthusiasm was aroused. Il was decided to hold the county convention on Tues day and Wednesday, July II and 15, and if is thought that Pleasant Hill will be se- lected as the place A committee on pro- gramme was appointed, consisting of w. T. Atkins, H. S. D. Mallory, E. W. Pat ton, Miss Edith Rice and Mrs S. w. Riggs, the latter of Pleasant Hill.
 At the meeting it was predicted there would be stirring times indeed in Sunday school work this summer. The state Sun oay school convention, which takes place in Birmingham the last week in April, will open the work. Dallas county will be represented by the county assiciation off, eers and district presidents as delegates at large and two delegates from each Sun day school
 Following the state convention will come during May and June district mass meetings, the dates to be set by the dis trict presidents. Then in July will come the county convention at Pleasant Hill, when a large assembly is expected
 During the past two years Dallas has marched rapidly to the front in Sunday taken in both the city of Selma and the county and as a result of that census three new Sunday schools have been es- abolished and the old schools have had their attendance largely increased.
 Between the state convention and the county convention will come the lnterna- tional Sunday school convention, which will be held at Louisville in June. There will be 42 delegates from Alabama to the convention, to be seleceed at the state convention, and Dallas county will no doubt get its quota. Owing to the near ness of the meeting place it is likely that a large number of Sunday school workers will go to Louisville to attend the con- vention.
