 all lines, the executive committee of the
 association will hold a meeting in Mont
 gomery at the Bell building tomorrow
 morning at II o'clock Judge Armstead
 Brown of Montgomery, chairman of the
 committee, announces that full at-
 tendance of the Sunday school workers
 is expected.
 Plans will be put on foot for the in- | troduction of a new field worker in Ala bama, and a movement will be started
 to enroll a large membership. Already
 the association thoroughly covers every
 county in Alabama, but an effort will be
 made to have this membership even more
 sweeping.

 a formidable plea for the next state con-
 vention, which is to be held in the spring

 gomery. The executive committee will
 at its meeting of Wednesday thoroughly
 thrash out the question of place. The
 associations financial status will be read
 to the committee and general features
 connected with the work will be dis
 cussed.
