Eishop Thirkield and Shreve Durham Hake Telling Addresses. Departmental "Work and New Lessons Discussed Second Day by Sunday School Experts, Special to The Times-Democrat. Alexandria, La, April 23. Large audiences and promptness at all sessions Indicate increasing interest in the State Sunday school convention. The Methodist churcft, the largest auditorium in Alexanuria devoted to religious work, is taxed to its utmost capacity at every session, many attending the meetings besides the hundreds of duly accredited, delegates.

Every aisle is filled with extra chairs and all available standing room is taken. DEPARTMENTAL WORK. This morning's session was opened by R. H. Harper, and almost the entire session devoted to the consideration of general and specific departmental m-ork.

A number of good speakers and experienced workers taking part in the discussion. Mr. Carman of CoKirado spoke of the secondary department work, and was follomed by several superintendents of Louisiana. Mr. Martindale, State Superintendent of the teaching training division, made his report and urged all the teachers to take advantage of the teacher training courses, mhich are offered throughout the State, and read the names of those who hold uiplomas for work completed in these courses.

Many New Orleans churches were represented by this list of graduates; W. C. McCloud, John Davidson, Misses Hugo, Miss Kuth Barnes. J. Pentecost Thompson, and many others.

Mr. Martindale referred to the kind of teachers the times demanded as those who have full realisation that training for Sunday school teaching is serious business, dealing m-iih life issues, and that it m-as not a petty and trifling affair, and that no one save those Christians m-ho had experienced God's saving grace, and those m-illing to surrender a large part of their lives to the work, should undertake to fill a teacher's place. He urged that the teachers take personal and live interest in their pupils, and expressed sincere concern for the loss of those who have rone astray from the right path. tev. has.

T. Alexander had charge of the Bible hour closing the morning's session, ana continuea nis suDject of the previous day at the same hour, "Christ in the Pentateuch or Shadows of Our Risen Lord," pointing out many instances typical of New Testament scene and doctrines. NEW INTERNATIONAL LESSONS. The afternoon session opened with the song service and the subject of the new international graded lessons m-as then discussed, Mr. Carman of Colorado leading.

Mr. Carman said these lessons are an improvement upon the uniform les-eons for the reasons that the Bible verses are not printed in these lessons, and the teacher Las to resort to the original source, the Bible, for the text itself, and that these graded lessons establish a new interest and procure definite progress. He believes they make promotion important and secure original work. Then they were purposely planned to piess personal decision and vocational training. We m-ho are accustomed to the old uniform lessons and have prided ourselves upon the one lesson being taught all over the world on the same day felt that we mere not keeping step m-ith progressive Sunday school methods, so t.irong was the argument in favor af the abolishment of these uniform lessons and the adoption of the International Graded Lesse.ns.

Ti departmental conferences were continued in three churches during the afternoon, the elementary division at the Methodist Church, with Miss Lucie Juden of New Orleans presiding and participated iv by Misses Ada Parker and Daisy Joor, Alex Allison from New Orleans. SECONDARY CONFERENCE. The secondary conference, which deals with boys and girls, of the 'teen age, took up the subjects of physical and social activities and spiritual development of pupiis of the department. The speaker presenting the social activities urged churches and Sunday schools taking their places close to the life of the community, t. piling the doors at ail hours, the formation of clubs for study, for music and for games, and recommended gymnasiums and swimming pools for the girls as mell as the bovs.

It was that there m-ould not be the need of so many wnmen'n clubs if the churches would provide these clubs for service: that the true aim of the Sundav school t-hould be to teach all to live completely and this could not be done without consideration of the social side of life. It mas said that Ruth m'eeping on the neck tif Naomi did not say onlv that "Thy God should be my God," but that "Thy people shall be my people," and he, becoming one m-ith the other nation, socially changed the mhole story in sacred 1. istory. bun.ay schools must be socially motived. Luncheon m-as served to-day again to nearly five hundred and about the same rumber attended the banquet at the hotel the evening.

Bishop Thirkield spoke Tuesday of the Sunday school as a religious institution. He urged co-operation between the different denominations. He pictured the length of the procession of Sundav school people of the I'nited States, should all of them be placed in one line and pass a given point. There are 15.000.0R) of them. He claimed that the Sunday school is the biggest institution of today, and that the church of to-morrow is this school of to-day.

Thirteen to seventeen are the valuable aces, he said, when the young men and young m-omen are most susceptible to influence, m-hether good or evil, and every effort should be put forth to m-in these young people for the service of God. BISHOP SPEAKS OF MUSIC. Eishop Thirkield commended the kind of music sung by the convention, the combined choirs of the city and the voices of visitors. He deplored what he termed meaningless ditties and jingles set to ragtime and sung bv manv churches throughout the land to-dav. He thinks them lacking in dignity, and said they leave a wrong impression upon the minds of the young.

He read extracts from a number of old and inspiring hymns that have left their impress upon the hearts and furnished insDi ration from generation to generation. He commended the m-ork of the Sunday schocl preparing and teaching the young for future Christian service and citizenship, and said a child's religious training could not be started too early in life, but that these plastic years should le made te bear fruit in later life. Mr. Shreve Durham was another speaker of last night's session, taking for h.s subject. -'Let him that heareth sav come." and pleading for the extension cf the kingdom along the broadest possible lines and the perfection of local organization and of personal evangelization.

The Railroad Commission has developed a curious and interesting case at Charleston, Tallahatchie codntv.

A few weeks ago the citizens of Charleston demanded that the Cumberland Telephone Company give them better service, declaring m-hat they were receiving to be "rotten." The Cumberland officials were cited to appear at the next meeting and show cause m-hy this service should not be improved. One of the commissioners, Mr. Wilson, visited the town and tried to talk over the phone. He got little satisfaction, and did not lay the blame on the hello girls. The Cumberland special agent, W.

T. Voorhies, whose headquarters are in this city, went to the scene to investigate. He found that something radical m-as wrong. He is an experienced telephone man, but the trouble was beyond him, and he sent for the superintendent of that division, and they made a house-to-house search for the trouble, finally locating it near the exchange. The festive small boys of the community had been amusing themselves by shooting at the cable, and a score Qr more 22-caliber bullets were found imbedded in the wires, several of them being severed, so that, as a matter of course, messages got twisted.

A section of the cable a foot in length and containing the bullets has been filed m-ith the commission as exhibit in defense of the company, and the citizens of the town have asked permission to m-ithdraw their eomplaints.
