these songs be the short and common
meters; whether they are plantation
or jubilee melodies or whether they
are classics when the time comes for
the Congress curtain to rise, the
chorister is expected to have whipped
into form one Of the greatest aggrega-
lions OF singers that has ever been pre-
pared for a national gathering. Their
rendition of Ezekiel Saw the Wheel"
has captivated them. The manner in
which this wheel has rolled and the
chorister's unique way of impressing
1t upon the singers has already stamp
ed him indelibly upon the minds of
the people as master mind in train
ing congregational singers. 1t was
announced that there would be an or
chestra assisting to support the
chorus, with piano and pipe organ.
When the Congress opens it is claimed
the chorus will be divided in the vari-
Gus subdivisions during the afternoon
Of each day in order that each depart
mental meeting might have special
music. This with the addition of two
bands already secured, is claimed by
the Congress secretary to be an ad-
vance not yet enjoyed by the Sunday
School workers at these annual gath
erings. 1t was said that the city
will be given an opportunity to see
just what progress has been made
along this particular line when the
presumably School Congress Literary
and Musical Concert is presented,
where the public will be given an
opportunity to hear what Alexandria
really has in the way of local talent,
and to see how they have been round
ed into form in so short time. The
selections will vary from the hymn
lined out to the most difficult anthem
that has ever been rendered in Alex
andria. There will be a brass band,
with an orchestra to give selections.
There will be solos, duets, quartets,
double quartets and congregational
singing. The music at the Congress
this year, according to the best infor-
nation obtained, will eclipse anything
that has been put on.

Congress Movement.
The aim of the Sunday School Con-
gress is to build front line Sunday
Schools, to advance modern Sunday
School methods, foster Sunday School
missions and help on the plan of child
evangelism. More than perhaps some
workers have been accustomed to hear
has been the assertion that the aim and
purpose of the Sunday School Congress
was for building front line Sunday
Schools. This has been proven by the
constant and steady growth Of the for
ward Sunday School movement from
the time the Sunday School Congress
was first launched to the present. Ev-
cry indication is pointing to the fact
that nothing that has been started in
the past decade has proven a greater
force for good than the present for
ward movement. A veritable coming
together of workers from every por.
ton of the United States where they
spend the better part of the week in a
real Sunday School of Methods has
been considered by the Sunday School
workers and acknowledged by Sunday
School experts, attested by devout min
listers Of the gospel, as the little leaven
in the loaf. The attendance of the
Sunday School, therefore, it would
seem has been on the increase since
the very beginning and from the
amount of enthusiasm shown at each
and every session there will be no
abatement-no, not one backward
step. At the Sunday School Congress
every attendant becomes constant
advocate and worker. There are no
visitors. All are welcome, all find
something to do, and everyone is
heard. Beginning at the least and 60
ing up to the greatest, if there are
any greatest, all are heard. Those who
thirst for more knowledge Of Sunday
School activity will find the Sunday
School Congress fountain from which
they may drink.

WHEN AND WHERE THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONGRESS HAS MET.
Thirteen years ago in June the first
session of the Sunday School Congress
was held. When the announcement
went forth that the movement had been
launched for the benefit of the Sunday
school forces and the B. Y. P. U. work
! ers. 1t was hailed with joy and delight.
Strong editorials by the leading denom-
I national editors appeared in papers
throughout the country. Secular jour-
nails declared it was beyond measure
the proper time and that the meeting
was calculated to do what no other
had done. 1t would in other words, be
the little leaven in the loaf So in June
1906, the movement was launched at
Nashville, Tenn In 1907 it met IN
New Orleans, in 1908 in Jacksonville,
Fla; in 1909 at Nashville, Tenn; In
1910, Atlanta, Ca; 1911, Meridian,

"On, On Metokas and Galedas" is
the title of the Metoka and Galeda
song that will be the watchword of
these two organized classes in their
meeting June 1917, in connection with
the Sunday School Congress. The d.
rectors Of these two classes with the
secretaries and their assistants
promise to elevate the Metoka and
Galeda class work to such a position
that 1t will be sung throughout the civ

people in the Sunday School, as a
