pr. George T. Webb. International Secretary of the Batpist Young Eco pie's Union. yesterday afternoon in the assembly room of the First Baptist Church addressed a large congregation composed of the members of the Bap- tist Young Peoples Unions of the city, The public generally was invited and many took opportunity to hear the famous speaker.
 The address was a splendid one and was delivered in a very impressive manner. Each sentence contained an idea for the accomplishment of the ideal of the Baptist Young Peoples Union which had never before been so aptly expressed. There was abun- dance of fun and story mixed with the sage advice as to the purpose of the Union or Society of Young Peo- pie as Dr. Webb chose to express it.
 That the B. Y. P. U. was train ing school for those growing people who had been evangelized and was not school for the evangelization of those people mixed with little train- ing was impressed upon twS audience in many ways. Suggestions for the ul- timate goal of the society were made and well illustrated.
 Dr. Webb, however. was not the only speaker. pr. J. NJ. Frost. secretary and treasurer of the Sunday School board, with headquarters at Nashville, was called upon. and while his ad- dress was humorous in part. he told those present some very pertinent facts about the B. Y. P. U. work.
 The B. Y. P. U. convention song, the Christians Marseiilaise, composed by J. c. Vanzandt of Gadsdsn., was sung with enthusiasm. The song is a stirring one expressing triumphant lighting with the victory coming with in sight.
 George W. Els presided over the meeting and after q reading of the scriptures from Ecclesiastes by Rev. H W. Faneher and prayer by Rev. s. A. Cewan of the Southside Baptist Church. pr. Webb was introduced, MT. Ellis saying of him: we have one with us who will inspire us in the work of training young people Of the shurch in the way in which they should 90"
 pr. Webb after wishing that he 3ould be naturalized as a citizen of Alabama through some process of law, because of the fiourishing conditions which he had observed in the State since his advent on Thursday. said in part:
 we are laboring with a great prob fem. the solution to which would give all churchmen the greatest pleasure. For this reason we should give more and more of our hearts to the great work being done among the young people. don't know any better solu- ton of the problem than the work be- ing done in the Young Peoples Socie- ties of the various churches.
 'I do not believe that the Baptist Young Peoples Societies should dup- licate or redo the work of the Sunday School. The B. Y. P. U. has a field of It's own, but like all other work it overiaps somewhat. the work however is entirely different. The field of the Young Peoples Society is not the evangelistic field. but is the training of the ones already evangelized.
 The Bible class is entirely. evanael- istic with some training, and I wish to impress upon you that the young peoples societies are training classes for those already evangelIzed."
 But there must be some defined plan for the work. You must. have a vision or an ideal in your mlnds. and
