Miss Lucy Truss, Mrs. Charles s. Led better of North Birmingham, and Mrs. w. M Blackwelder of West End.
 Tn the Central Division they have had a broad field to cover and the undertaking was a mammoth one, but with character istic energy and devotion to their work they have overcome all obstacles and have been rewarded with a success that is well nigh fabulous.
 Mrs. McLaws, while in a way is a new conner here, having lived in Birmingham but few years, has made her influence felt in many ways. In the South High lands Presbyterian church, she is one 0 the leaders in the intermediate work o the Sunday School, and is also the Chair man of the Intermediate Department O the Graded Union.
 A woman of culture and wide exper. fence, earnest and faithful in whatever of the chief factors of success in Sun day School work in Birmingham.
 It is an unusual thing to see a girl as young in years as is Miss Lucy Truss assuming the responsibility of such work as she has undertaken through her af- filiation with the Methodist church. but in spite of her youth she has made fol herself a place that cannot be usurped Always with a keen insight into the needs of the work, and with a heart as stead- fast as a human heart can be, this sweet young woman has accomplished more than many who are her seniors by years and years, and there is not Sunday School worker who knows her that isn't glad to give her all the credit that is duo for her excellent stewardship.
 Mrs. Ledbetter, who is from the Nortl Birmingham Methodist Church, is one oi the most ardent workers In the Sunday School Association. She has the happy faculty of reaching out for great results and achieving them and her work is

The meetings occur every Wednesday morning and games of bridge are followed by luncheon either at the homes of the members or at the Country club.
