One of the most important events in
 the modern church world is go to Sum- day school Sunday. This is an annual affair, nation and continent wide.
 Through the influence of the Inter national Sunday School association this day has been changed from February to the first Sunday in November. To meet the need and at the same time cooperate with the international work, the Methodists of Alabama, under the auspices of the executive officers of the Sunday school boards representing the interdenominational movement, will observe this same day and will furnish special programme for all Methodist Sunday schools for that day As the International Sunday school association will not furnish pro- grammes for the Methodist Sunday schools in Alabama, it is important that the programme already sent out from the offices of the field secretaries be used. The importance of the day the splendid programme, the aim to reach every church member not in Sun day school for that day, should add
 many to this great modern movement. If certain rules are followed we may be reasonably successful in any work Especially is this true of 8 day with the importance attending it as this Plans must be made All the addresses and articles ever published cannot take the place of earnest work and plans and these backed by earnest workers. IMPORTANCE OF THE DAY The Sunday school work is rapidly becoming the great Christian educa | tional work of all churches. The need of it is imperative, insistent, evident. To this date there is no other depart | ment of church activity can take it's place. So large has it grown in public esteem among men that the President of the United States and the govern ors have set apart November 4 as Ego to Sunday school Sunday" thus bear 1 ing witness to it's educational value. Thousands of our church nlenber- 1 ship are not actively engaged in Sun | day school work seldom attend do not l foster it's work, This is the day to go | after and reach them. What a blessed I day that will be when every member of ! the church will be in Sunday school, ] first, for the sake of influence on childhood and youth, and because they need the blessing which this day | brings in class study as well as Chris
 | tian fellowship
 l Intensified. personal work is needed. Nothing has ever been found equal, all l things considered, as face to face tac- | tics in reaching people. There is some- thing in personal contact. in proof of interest looking folks in the face and | deliyerinp a DerSOnal message. Get a l list of church members not in your local school and send the members of
 each department after them. interme-
 diates after intermediates, seniors I after seniors, adults after adults. Go

11UST think, boys and girls, it's al-
 most time for another Halloween. In fact, that delectable hour will be at hand tomorrow, and while the day. time of October S1 is like any other old time during the long year, the night time-well-it's Halloween, and different from any other night on the calendar! Even if you don't believe in gobins and witches and mysterious signs and queer pranks; even if you are old and grouchy and rundown at the heels some how on Halloween you feel the strange influence of the mystery which the chil-
 dren indulge in, with fairies and ghosts and all sorts of weird folk prancing and dancing about like little cloud people in the mist.
 It is a curious, but nevertheless an obvious fact that Halloween, with all of it's superstition, is celebrated only in Christian countries, because it is the vigil of one of the greatest festivals in the church calendar-All Saints The desire of all young people at Hal of the future, which hangs over us all; they try to learn their fate, for, as Samuel Adams Drake has aptly said
 Saint Matrimony is the patron saint of Halloween."
 For this reason, there are many an- cient charms which are still tried on this particular night by maid and youth charms which would be of no avail at another time, but which on Halloween may be tested with every hope of suc- cess.
 In the olden days, wien Halloween charms were being tried out. open fire places were used. and if the real old fashioned Halloween is to be observed,
 then the setting must be made in room where there is a huge fireplace; the darker and the more mysterious the
 room is, the greater the fun, for you
 must actually feel creepy in order to experience the real influence of Hallo- ween.

day in answer to inquiries as to
whether recruiting had ceased. The

be removed, department commanders
have been informed that national
guard organizations may be recruit
ed to the maximum peace strength Of
the regular army. That strength is
100 per company.
TO ENLARGE COMPANIES.
"The guard has a very much lower
percentage strength than the regular
army and 65 was the maximum
strength allowed the guard before this
last call into the federal service. We
win probably authorize 1t to $50 when
we get tAe 100 companies filled"
At the same time the department
said that its call for 10000 artisans,
clerks, stenographers and the like, for
the quartermaster's enlisted reserve
