CANVASS WAS
SUCCESSFUL
Rain Kept the People in
Doors.
BUT THE CANvASSERS WORKED
Many Ladies Went Without
Lunch.
Young Ladies Worked In the Rain
For the Sunday schOoIs--rabu-
Iatien Is to BE Made Later
Of the Census.
BUT THE cANvASsERS WORKED

On account of the inclemency Of the
weather Thursday morning and after
noon. the house to house visitation OF
county ordered by the last Sunday
School convention which met in Mont
gomery some weeks ago, was high
success. The workers were enthusi-
astic, and the bad weather made citi-
gems stay at home. where they were
ready to supply the needed informa-,
ton.
1t will be some days before the re-
turns OF the canvass are tabulated and
distributed to the various churches for
which a preference was expressed,
but the work is in capable hands and
1t Is announced that the report will
soon be ready.
Miss Kennedy, field worker of the
State organization, stated last night
that the work of the visiting commit
tees had been very successful, and
that some startling facts were de-
Eeloped- She expressed herself as
well pleased with the thoroughness of
the work.
Some of the canvassers or visitors
who had volunteered for the work
went without their lunch yesterday, so
jealous were they in their efforts to
get a complete report.
In one instance" said Miss Ken
nedy, two young ladies visited 1875
homes during the day, and In another
instance two young ladies visited los
homes. In both instances the work.
ers went without their lunch"
AS result of the canvass some very
interesting facts were brought to
light. 1t is stated by the officials of
the canvass that many young men
and women living In boarding houses
the city over have not been reached
by the influence of any church life.
and In one instance 1t was found that
a certain person had not been inside
church building for eighteen years.
The superintendents of the various
districts will carefully tabulate the
results that the strength of each de-
nomination may be shown. After this
tabulatton the cards bearing the pref
erance of a certain church Will he
turned over to officers of that church
in order that the follow up work NAV
be done by persons of the denouhina-
ton preferred In this manner IN ia
calculated that each church will then
assume the responsibility of bringing
the persons to church and under relIg-
ious influence.
The plan of the work as a1onted
and carried out yesterday. was to paIr
the workers of and assign them
certain district. These workers were
chosen OF different denominations. care
being taken that no pair of workers
were of the same determination. r.
Is the plan of the State Sunday School
organization that its work shall he
without reference to denominational
lines.
The work of yesterday was entirely
satisfactory and Sunday School work
ers are congratulating themselves on
the success of their efforts.
