The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-26
MRS. ;. P. MOORE Dean of the Bible Training School

One of the most ardent Sunday school
 workers in the city of Birmingham said
 to me a few days ago.
 Do you know Mrs. s. P. Moore?' | I had to reply in the negative, for while l had seen her and heard very
 often of Mrs. Moore, 1t had not been my
 pleasure to know her personally. | If any one should ask me- said the speaker-and he is a man who knows who was doing the greatest work in the state of Alabama today I should unhesitatingly say Mrs. S. P. Moore, Dean of the Bible Training School and
 President of the Woman's Graded IUnion"
 | The remark put me to -thInking. Why could l not meet Mrs. Moore and | get her to tell me something of this splendid work she is doing-and par ticularly just at this time-on the eve
 of the Bible Training School which is to be held here in November from the
 sd to the sth, inclusive; would it be of
 interest to the 5000 or more who have
 joined the school within the past four
 and half years?
 "The wish was father to the thought, D and I soon busied myself with making
 an engagement with Mrs. Moore and hearing something of her work. Before I tell you what she told me. let me say this about Mrs. Moore. From the moment that l shook hands changed between us, I was thoroughly entertained.
 Her graciousness and sweetness, her
 modesty and self -abnegation in her work, are indeed notable requisites of her beautiful Christian character and Iall too anxious to give the credit to others, and take no credit for herself in what has been accomplished in this great work in Alabama, she impressed me as being almost too modest in ac- lcepting the praise and homage that Is extended to her from everybody who knows her at home and abroad. In responding to my question of how she first became affiliated with her work in the Sunday school, Mrs. Moore said:
 q really drifted into the work locally about 12 years ago. Later my work took me into the county work, and in | sos, l became identified with the state work It came about in rather an in- teresting way too. It was during a lconvention that was beiJs held here, and I walked into church one morning
 when pr. Carthel came up to me and said:
 I've are thinking of making you State Teacher Training Supe erintendent; i;
 would you accepte
 Well, you see I didn't refuse. and l have been steadily engaged in it ever since"
 I've often thought how many of us
 would like to be actively engaged in Sunday school work, and yet we hear | the same old cry so often of we haven't the time, or something equally as dis coura ging." l suggested. How do you manage with all your other duties to find all the time yoll give to it?' By economizing every little minute,
 Mrs. Moore said, gently. Don't you think after all, that it depends very largely upon your standarV of value what we accomplish? What we WANT to do, we are more than apt to find time | to do."
 Since your affipation with the Bible
 Training school Row has the work lprogressed?' I asked.
 Far beyond our expectations" was
 the reply. -Four years and half ago
 the State Records of Alabama showed
 no class enrolled. Since then the records
 show about $500 in line" 1 Sunday school teaching has become
 almost as scientific as the Public School
 methods said, interrogatively. "The training for teachers in the Sun
 day School" said Mrs. Moore. lis diff
