MODERN PLANS

He then illustrated the need OF
workers in the mission field by pic
lures.
Another way is to give the pupils
something to do" continued Mr.. Byrd
Written work and maps help in this
way as does story telling. A very
good way is to wrap the truth you
wish to impress in something that the
pupil is interested in. But be sure
that the transition you wish to make
from the story or the illustration is
complete-that the pupil sees the
point, or the whole lesson is lost"
Mr.. Byrd made this perfectly clear
to his hearers by several illustrations
and his lecture was one of the best he
has given during the Normal. The
last seven minutes of his period he
gave to a round table talk, when he
answered questions asked him.
Pupils Serve Luncheon.
The usual luncheon between 6
o'clock and o'clock, the hour before
the evening service, was unusually
elaborate and delicious. The Phila-
thea class of girls and the Baraca boys
of the Columbia Street church, fur
nished and served it and the enthu-
siasm of these young people, together
with their fresh, pretty young faces,
made even chicken salad, peanut
sandwiches, potato chips, crackers,
hot coffee, with milk, cheese, pickles
and olives, taste better to many of the
112 people served with the lunch.
The luncheon tonight will be served
by the ladies of Columbia Street Bap
fist church-some who do not belong
to the Woman's Missionary Society
that served the first night.
Talk on 3. Y. p. U.
Mr. L. P. Leavell, of Oxford, Miss,
opened the evening session with talk
on B. Y. P. 1.-THE Baptist Young
Peoples Society-saying that society
is to find out what the young people
can do and set them to doing it, no
matter how small the talent possessed
may be. The practical motto of the
society should be-"All Baptist Young
People Utilized"
A very good suggestion made by Mr..
Leayell was that an honorary roll be
kept for members of the B. Y. P. U.
woh have advanced from the society To
other or more broader work. When
these members want to attend, let
them take back seat, as it were, and
not take up the time the young people
should be given during the meeting.
They are in active service elsewhere,
let the boys have their chance at the
meetings.
A Training School.
Mr.. Leavell made an apt comparison
saying the B. Y. P. U. is to the church
what West Point is to the Navy. West
Point is to train boys for Uncle Sam,
not to show off men who have already
graduated from it. And so the boys
and girls of the B. Y. P. U. should be
promoted to active service in the
church from this society.
Young Peoples Service.
This evening service was distinctly
a young peoples service and conse-
quently was interesting to all present
and the church was crowded. A
Philathea and Baraca rally had been
announced for the occasion and conse-
quently representatives were there
from all those classes in the city, from
the one first organized at the First
Baptist churc hto the latest organized
a few months ago at the First Presby-
terrain church.
The PhiIathea Workers.
Mr.. J. E. Byrd conducted this rally
and the first number, the Philathea
hymn, was inspiring and well sung,
the air of Maryland, My Maryland"
being used About 80 girls formed
this chorus. Miss Dayie Catron read
the report of the Columbia Street
Philathea class; Miss Mamie Thomp-
son, of the First Baptist Philatheas
and the City Union. Miss Thompson
told of the Home for worthy working |
