Sunday school Growing

tendent, is going forward by leaps
and bounds. The attendance is large
and continues to grow. The school
has been separated into two divisions,
the red and the blue, and a member,

the wide-awake and progressive Su-
perintendent, inaugurated this plan,
and it is proving winner. The pas

sistance wherever needed, and Mrs
Allen Smith is a great help in the
Sunday school, Miss Ella Mae Pat
ton, the secretary, is brilliant
young lady and performs her duty
willingly and accurately.
