 Miss Minnie F. Kennedy, the beloved
 general secretary of the Birmingham Sun day School association, whose efficiency and capability in regard to the work are so generally known and approved, has
 kindly pointed out to me some of the
 features that will be of interest to those in attendance and in speaking of them yesterday she said:
 ''On nearly all modern programmes which deal with Sunday school work, we find what are termed demonstrations that is, a class or department acts out the plan or method under discussion. suppose the idea of this way of present ing things grew out of the fact that Sun day school workers are continually be- ing taught that the eye gate is broader and more important than the ear gate,' and so they are practicing what they have learned.
 Last years demonstrations were a feature of the Bible Training school or school of methods, and they attracted a great deal of attention and proved to be an excellent way of giving definite help,'' she continued.
 And this year there is a perfect array of them. On next Tuesday of the school, the junior department of the Southside
 Batist Sunday school will illustrate its
 Sunday morning session. This means that the children themselves will go
 through all their exercises, singing Bible
 drills, business and what not, just as if they were in their own deartment on Sunday morning. So you see, any junior worker looking on can see just how the work is done fin this particular depart ment. It also adds touch of human interest to the dry matter of methods, to I see the bright-faced children. The real home of this department is so complete, with all the needs of teachers and chil- dren so effectively met, that it is called a front rank department by the Birming- ham Sunday School association. Another interesting feature is that MT. Ed S. Moore is superintendent and Mrs. Moore the assistant superintendent, and dividing the work between them as they do, great things have been accomplished"
 Another Junior feature will be giver l by the junior department of the High lands Methodist Sunday school.' said Miss Kennedy. "The small folk under | the leadership of Mrs. O. l.. Drake have done such fine work in Bible drills thai when they go, on some special occasion | into the main session of the school they make the eyes of the church fathers opeI wide with anna azement at the almost un canny skill with which they handle theil | Bibles, and at the knowledge that they show of it's contents Every junior work CT. seeing the specimen 'drill which the, l will give before the school, will see fol l himself what can be accomplished fl l this direction. Just now this Is especially | important in view of the cooperation be l tweeen the Sunday schools and the pub llic schools of Birmingham"
 "But all of the demonstrations are no | to be with juniors.' Miss Kennedy tolt me. '.Even grown-ups do not count it be | meath their dignity to show just how I they do this Sunday work. The Ids | Ramsey class of the First Methods l Sunday school will show just how a large l organized class of women fill the Sunda. | morning hour. These women have s, | large an attendance and do so man, practical things in the way of social ser. vice and the spirit of fellowship Is s, | strong among them that this feature o | the training school will be very vaiuabl | to all adult workers. The class president l Miss W. IT. Edwards, will have charg l of the demonstration. Then, by way o | variety, class 12' of the Fifth Avenu Presbyterian Sunday school will show jus
