SUNDAY SCHOOL
 COUNCIL MEETS

The Council of Episcopal Sunday schools of the Birmingham district held very interesting monthly session at the parish house of the Church of the Advent last evening with an attendance of representa- tives from seven of the nine schools of the council
 The feature of the evening was an ad- dress delivered by the Rev. De Ovles. rector of St. Andrews, who will leave soon to accept a call at Greensboro. Dr. De Ovles spoke of the inspiration the council had offered him and the help every Sunday school of the council could derive from the information imparted in the monthly meetings, which is virtually the clearing house for the Episcopal Sabbath schools. The speaker laid great stress upon the mission of the Sunday school n teaching the history and tenets of the church, and the importance of the Sunday school in the future existence of this institution.
 The executive session was the election of Robert J. Williams, superintendent of St. Andrews Sunday school. to fill the vacancy created by the removal of w. D. Leake from the city. and the re- ports from the secretaries of the Sunday schools. These reports declared that the attendance was 50 per cent of the enroll ment and the average weekly individual contribution was cents. This was the first monthly report of this nature to be made in the council. and upon motion it was decided to establish it as a regular mart of the routine business at every meet- in~
