WORK IS AGGRESSIVE
PLANS FOR FALL SUNDAY SCHOOL
 STATE CAMPAIGN.
General Secretary Sims, of Alabama Organization Gives Some Inter- esting Facts in c Circu-
 lar He Issues.

D. w Sims, general secretary of the Alabama Sunday School association, has the following to say in circular which he issued yesterday:
 "The Sunday School work in Ala bama was never in better shape. There is probably a keener interest In Sunday School work in almost every village and town of the State than has been witnessed at any previous time
 This awakening and onward move Is not attributed to any one course. but to the development of the work along all lines. Many workers are kind enough to attribute the present conditions largely to the Alabama Sunday School Association. and no doubt they are to a considerable de- gree correct. for the State Sunday School Association has been organiz- ed and doing a splendid work for more than a quarter of a century. At first in small way, but for several years past. two. three and sometimes four workers have been going over the State into every county.
 "BBesides the field work, for the present year, about seventy letters on an average are going out daily from the association headquarters in Mont gomery. By far the majority of these are personal letters to the various Sunday School workers of the State Thousands of leaflets are also being sent out on various subjects.
 Since February 1. a county con- vention has been held in every coun- ty in the State except Jefferson and Talladega counties. and a five days meeting has been planned for Jeffer- son at Birmingham, November 22 to 26.
 Another marked evidence of the forward movement is the fact that there are now more than 2.000 regu- larly enrolled pupils in the State talk ing the Sunday School teachers train- ing course. These pupils vary in age from 16 to 70. Strong Sunday School teachers institutes have been arrang- ed for Birmingham. Montgomery, Do- than. Grove Hill. Florence, and other cities for this fall

fectionately called "The Mother of As- sociations" During It's existence some or the strongest churches in the state nave been members of it--some of the most distinguished ministers of the state have been members.
 Rev. W. B. Crumpton, famiiiarly known as the Baptist Bishop" was once member of this association.
 At this session. everybody in the community seemed to vie with each other. in making the sojourn of the messengers and visitors pleasant.

to the opening and closing. but owing to the fact that he had to catch a train at 1:45 o'clock he allowed Mir. O'Neal this right.
 Each speaker was allowed one hour and twenty-five minutes. O. s. Lewis introduced Mir. ONeal. who spoke for one hour. He attacked the fuller bill and Carmichael bill. He claimed that under the Fuller bill the home could be invaded and that woman could not make blackberry wine. He said the amendment was unnecessary; that IL would not strengthen the laws ff passed. noy hurt them If defeated.
 Mir. ONeal received applause as he closed
 Dr. John Massey, introduced Judge Denson, who was greeted by applause.
 Judge Denson said that he did not come advocating the amendment with any political ambition backing 1t: that 1t was a straight fight for or against liquor and he proposed to stand with those who had always stood for pro- hibition in Alabama. He took up the objections of Mir. O'Neal to the Fuller and Carmichael bills and showed that we have laws now on the statute books covering Mir. o'Neaps objections. or that the features objected to by Mfr. O'Neal were necessary to make the laws prohibition. He said no innocent man had anything to fear from the laws or the amendment.

one. with all their power" he said. Tn churches and schools we can light"
 And then again: "The South win march out of liquor territory with ai- most the same uniformity as when It marched in the eos. The sentiment is the same. The eyes of the South are on us. If we win. Florida will do the same thing next year. Georgio will drive out the near-beer saloon; Tennessee will cut out the clubs. All the South will be white in five years"
 The speaker ended with plea to vote for the amendment. to settle the strife that Is recurring each year. each election. as he said. He drew pictures of the "awfur' time that he said would come with It's defeat. Of the continual warfare for the saloons again that would be waged.
 "We VIII Win"
 But we will win" he said. in his thrilling peroration This Is not fa- naticism. this amendment, 1t is com mon- sense, 1t Is business. it is na- tionafity. 1t Is sanity. 1t Is the spirit of Christ militant.
 "The others are fighting against hope, they are beaten before they start. they are struggling against the very stars themselves. The church Is against them. the good women are against them, the march of progress and science and civilization is. against them: they are as impotent as a It, tie child"
 Judge weakley was introduced to the audience by Hon. W. H. Sanford, of Troy, who spoke of the importance of the issue. As important. he said as any which ever confronted the old Scotchmen when the fiery cross was sent abroad to rally them In defense of their homes.
 He introduced Judge Weakley as the man In whose hands the nerS cross of Alabama had been placed.
