SUNDAY SCHOOL
WORKERS HOLD
GOOD MEETINGS
MANY PuLPITs IN
PENSACOLA SUNDAY, SPEAKING
TO LARGE CONGREGATIONS
AND ARoUsINe MUCH INTER-
EST.

SpeciaI programs were rendered in
almost all the churches on Sunday, the
occasion for these being the presence
Of a large number of prominent min
listers and Sunday school workers In
the city. Despite the unfavorable
weather, large attendances were re-
ported at all services.
Among the speakers Of note was
Rev. NJ. A. Hanline. He was in de-
mand and had a strenuous day. He
spoke at the First Presbyterian Sunday
school and preached at the Gadsden
Street Methodist church in the morn
Ing. He hlIed the pulpit for Rev. Eu-
gene Pendleton IN the evening at the
First Baptist church. The evening dis
course was one Of unusual power. The
theme, why Should Believe In Jesus
Christ in the Twentieth Century, was
handled in a bare, unvarnished man
ner. The large per cent Of young men
and young women who pass through
an period of slCepticism was due, the
speaker declared. to lack Of a counter
acting influence to the surprising
revelations made to students IN the
studies of physical sciences. The diff
ference in what the Bible really
teaches and In our Interpretation of 1t,
Is a source Of doubt to the youthful
mind. he declared.
The beautiful singing Of Miss Mon
tanari In the morning and in the even
ing delighted both congregations at the
Baptist church. Prof. Gilflian Scott
gave an organ recital after the evening
service. This is the second Of Prof.
Scott,s recitals which are being much
enjoyed and largely attended.
Another prominent minister much
IN demand during his visit was DR.. r.
S. Shepherd. At the First Christian
Sunday school he spoke on Possible
ties Of Organized Glass Work" He
also spoke at the First Methodist
church.
Perhaps as interesting q subject as
was discussed during the day was
that of Rev. s. B. Rogers at the First
Baptist church. He is state secretary
of the Home Mission Board and has
an intimate knowledge of Florida and
Her Religious Needs" His earnest and
impassioned appeal for the remote dis
tricts of the state moved his audience
to tears
The most delightful feature Of the
SuNlIo 1ItSlAE was TIE AA4AS&S ASA0CA CA
by Prof. Alvin Roper. He was engaged
every, afternoon and evening during
his visit here. His performances at
the mass meeting Sunday and his re-
cital yesterday afternoon were most
largely attended and perhaps most en-
5oyed. The latter was a rare treat to
the music lovers Of the city. His in
terpretations OF hymns and sacred
songs. his own compositions and of
classical productions and oratorios
charmed his hearers Deserving par
ticular mention was the medley Of pa
triotic songs and his mastery rendition
Of Nevin's Rosary. When the airs Of
Dixie" and THE Star Spangled Ban
ner" were played they were greeted
by enthusiastic and prolonged ap-
plause-
Another remarkable person attend
ing the convention was Miss Elizabeth
Fitzpatrick, who teaches the largest
class OF men In the south
= A fitting close to the brilliant ses-
sions was the meeting last evening.
