YESTERDAY AFTERNOON MEET
Number of Spirited and Instructive
Discussions.

Continuing his address yesterday
afternoon, II. II. Moninger said:
1t is an objectionable sin to allow
a child to pass the memory period of
life, which is from nine to twelve
years without saturating his memory
with the choicest Scriptural pas
sages. When the age is passed, the
opportunity is gone forever.
Another important period in a
childs life is when he learns to say
yes" to Christ. He can be prepared
for this when from nine to twelve
years Of age.
The teaching of the Sunday school
should begin with the cradle roll
and extend through the various de-
partments up to the adult class.
The following gems Of thought
were given:
One. Graded Bible school is the
school that fits the Bible to the I'M
folding life
Two. 1t is an objectionable sin
to let a child pass the memory pc
riod (the Junior PERIOD without satu-
rating it's life with the choicest pas
sages of Scripture.
! Three. A boy puts q question and
then puts a pin in his neighbor
Four. Our organization and teach
J ing should be so thorough that no
child will graduate from the junior
department without accepting Christ.
Five. Growing is outgrowing.
Six. Try to hit something, not
everything.
| Seven. You are well along toward
victory when you positively decide
you will do thing.
| Eight. Some teachers are like the

have nothing to do, | will write

ADULT DIVISION MEET
Several Things Are Explained BY
Secretary Locker.

- Secretary Locker.
The adult division conference was
held in the auditorium of the Pres.
byterian church yesterday afternoon
The devotional hour was led by Mr.
Sellers. Rev. H. e. Frohok Of Ham.
line Methodist Episcopal church
spoke on class organization. His
chief thought was that if the men
We're reached by the organized Bible
class the rest of the people would
follow Work at once for the head
of the family. If the head OF the
family is in the Sunday school ii nat
urally follows that the rest of the
family will be there too. If the
Sunday school works entirely for
the organization of the men into Bible
class it will double the attendance
In the census Of your Sunday school
of the Sunday school for everyone
in When you get one, man you get
others in connection with him. Glass
organization is giving everyone in
the class something to do.
A. NJ. Locker explained the mean
ing of class registration, in the
absence of Rev. George e. Davis
OF St Paul. Mr.. Pearce encouraged
the forming Of class declarations.
He said in part: "Federate organized
classes. There is nothing more I'M
stable, than an unorganized Bible
class. Organize the class to give
il permanency and then federate
these organized classes. Make your
federation a part of the Sunday
school association. Have a simple
plan Or organization. What can a
federation do? Organize classes. The
Texas slogan is every adult class
big enough to walk organize an
other" 1t will improve the work
of the classes. In five years four
teen publications have arisen for
the adult Bible class work. Use
them The adult class federation
can do all kinds Of things toward
cleaning up q town. If the adult
Bible classes move forward in the
next fifteen years like they have in
the last five years there will be ma
tional prohibition.
DR.. Beise from the standpoint of a
Superintendent recommended a thor
ough grading Of every school with
department superintendent, no mat
ter what the size Of the school.
Under the head of Extending
the School," Mr.. Moninger said Our
schools need trained superintendent
The man who says he does his best
under the circumstances is placing a
block in the way Of progress. We
need superintendent Of grace, gump
ton and ginger. Our Sunday school
should shake people in, shake them
out and shake them up. Take a
Sunday school Monkey wrench and
tighten up the loose burrs.'

Pearce was crowded out on account

Mr.. Dietrich said that he never

it was the right thing to do.
Mr.. Moninger led a general dis.
cussion, answering questions. II
was vital that teachers live up to
their teaching, he said. Advice was
the nail and doing was the hammer
that drove it in, The best and
most vital stories to drive an ex.
ample home are Bible stories. A
boys curiosity must be aroused
Good stories can be had from the
missionary books, as good as those
+. from Swiss family Robinson. The
graded Sunday school is the school
that fits the Bible to the unfolding
life. The stories from the Bible
must be selected.
Boy Scout Movement.
The boy scout movement is excel
lent. The elements or principles OF
this can be worked into the Sunday
school teaching. The boy scout
movement does not wish any loyal
scout or other Sunday school adop
ton to become national, but the in
struction to help somebody every

This should be left to the boys or

Mr.. Moninger gave the following
nuggets of thought for intermediate
teachers:
One. Every normal woman pas
sed through the "boy-struck" period
Do not make fun of or scold those in

Two. Lies most critical period is
the intermediate.
Three. StubbOrnness in the inter

Of the desire to govern.

ate boy is the undeveioped desire

indianapolis, Nov. 13.--Race pre-
judice was completely obliterated
Monday afternoon when 100 people
paid a tribute Of reverence to Lieut..
Tom Smith, the veteran negro fire
fighter who was killed in collision
last Wednesday.
Seldom has such concourse been
witnessed in this city as was seen in
the Allen chapel on Bradway, be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh streets,
when relatives, members Of the fire
department and scores Of the parents
and children who live near the en-
gine house at Sixteenth and Ashland
avenue filed past the casket Of the
dead hero of the black brigade be-
fore the service at p. m.
The kindly old face of Tom Smith,
beloved of little children, was at rest
in aabower Of flowers in which friends
invested hundreds Of dollars. Be-
side the coffin was tribute of the

broken wheel wrought in lilies and
roses, and near it loomed the floral
gift of the whole department, the
words indianapolis Fire Force" en-
circling the figures 1853, the number
Of Smiths badge.
Rev. J. r. Harvey, pastor Of the
Allen Chapel A. M. e. church, and
Rev. Frank o. Ballard of the Memorial
Presbyterian church expressed the
sentiment of the firemen's admirers,
and in that throng there were none
who listened more intently than the
children of the neighborhood Of the
fire house who had ridden the charg-
ers at times, held secure by the pro-
tecting hand of Daddy Tom,
The service was not long and after
it was over six firemen bore the
casket to the hearse which carried

THE TRUTH.

There is today a tendency among
colored people and among their
earnest friends to tell the half-trutb
concerning the situation Of the col
ored people and to condemn those
who seek to tell the whole truth.
But where Is the harm? many
think. If we tell the good things,
will not the good things multiply and
the hateful things die? No. 1t Is a
dangerous thing to daily with the
truth. Some of the greatest cata.
strophes in history have come be-
cause the mass Of men have been
deceived and misled as to the truth
Of conditions by timid, well-meaning
persons, who, knowing the awful
facts. suppressed them Systematically
and spread the sweet and gentle lie.
There are friends Of black folk In
this land. There Is continual ad-
vance in human sympathy. There
Is an awakening in the white South
on the race problem. All that Is
true. 1t is also true that the Negro
American today faces the crisis Of
his career; race prejudice Is rampant
and is successfully overcoming hui.
manitarianism in many lines, and the
determination of the dominant South
to beat the black man to his knees,
to make him a docile ignorant beast
Of burden, was never stronger than
today. This Is the truth. Let US tell
the truth. unpleasant though 1t be
