l Imagine, if you can, a tall. slender well knit person. 1.-the and graceful oi movement, vital to her fingers tips human to a degree that is scarcely ever associated with the Sunday school worker. her heart brimming over with enthusiasm and good will toward all mankind, and you have a pen picture of Miss Elizabth Scales Fitzpatrick, one of the most noted Sunday school teach : CTS of the day, who Is here in attend anoe upon the Bible training school this week.
 Miss Fitzpatrick is field secretary of the Methodist Sunday schools of the North Mississippi conference, and she also has the distinguished honor of be- ing a member of the international adult committee. writing for the vari- ous magazines and arranging the Sun day school lessons.
 Perhaps
 More than any other individual Sun day school worker Miss Fitzpatrick is more widely known from east to west, from north to south, and wherever she is known-wherever her gentle. Chris tian influence has been felt, her name is honored and revered above her fell low men--a passing sweet homage to her beautiful life--a homage heart-f felt and sincere--hers by divine right of nobility of character and glorious wom- anhood

 Are your classes for men and wom- en?" I asked.
 Both, but my work has chiefly been among men," she answered. My own class in my home town, Corinth. Miss. numbers 500 members. It is 10 years old and is the largest Sunday school class In proportion to the size of the town in this country. There are 75 Con federate Veterans who belong to it. These we call The Guard of Honor There are 200 drummers, and the rest are from all walks of life, from the down and out class to the richest men in our town. My class is a representa- tive community institution along lines of social and social service and busi- ness types of work"
 We emphasize the 'brotherhood' fea- ture mainly" continued Miss Kilpat- rick. Tt Is one of the most satisfac- tory phases of the work. By this I mean the amalgamation of types-tbe down and out and the wealthy classes |:
