years, 26 we understand, spent yes

| No more. successful Sunday school
institute was ever conducted in our
state than the one held last week in
DeF'uniak. The sessions were all well
attended and the closest attention was
given at all times. Many carried note
books and pencils and kept busy with
them, too, for much was said that was
far too good to be lost or trusted to
memory. DR.. Hammill. the widely
known Sunday school worker, con-
| Quoted the institute and incidentally
| made for himself many warm friends
among our citizens. DR.. Hammill was
ably assisted first by Miss Minnie
Kennedy, who has visited us more
than once before. Miss Kennedy has
the knack of entertaining and in
structing her audience at the same
time and in such a digntfied manner
that both children and adults were
profited by her teaching. DR.. Ham
mill was seconded next by the hearty
Co operation of the ministers and
| Sunday school workers and pupils OF
! the various denominations.

was the guest Of Mr.. and Mrs. r. e. L.
