 Two new sections have been planned; one for the training of the Sunday school executive, that is, for assistant supern- tendents, secretaries and class presidents and the second is for the training of musical leaders, or choristers, who will take charge of the music in their schools, selecting and teaching new songs' Miss Kennedy said.
 There will be- number of very in
 teresting demonstrations. The Sunday school world has learned that the things seen make very much stronger impress sion than if they are only heard. so dem- onstrations are much used to make clear methods of work. On one afternoon. the teen age, girls department of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Sunday school will demonstrate it's work. That will be very interesting"
 Three women's Bible classes on three
 different afternoons will show the work of their classes. These are the class of Mrs. E. T. Glass, of the First Methodist church; the class of Mrs. E. R.

 Unlimited is the influence which the Bible training school exerts over this eommunity-in fact there is no greater power in church work than just the gathering together of the teachers and students in this particular branch of the Birmingham Sunday School association, which stands for all that is wholesome and normal, conservative aud beneficial in church work.
 Miss Minnie Kennedy, the efficient sec- retary of the Sunday School association, who is always enthusiastic about her work, always delightful to talk with about anything connected with her of ficial duties, outlines some unusual fea- lures for the Bible training school this year.
