reported what progress he had made in

.Perhaps the most, enjoyable lecture
heard in Gainesvjlle in quite awhile
was that of Mr. W. S. Witham of At
lanta. at the Auditorium last Sunday
afternoon on “The Freight Train vs.
the Vestibule Limited Sunday School.”
It w r as a rare treat.
At four o’clock the Auditorium was
well filled with people and after a few
good soul stirring songs by the crowd,
Rev. J. M. White introduced Mr.
Witham in a few appropriate words.
The speaker’s first utterances caught
the crowd.
The lecture abounded in keen wit
and humor yet forceful logic and argu
ment, and the freig'ht train Sunday
school and the vestibule limited Sun
day school were portrayed iu their
true light. No one could hear the
lecture aud not be impressed with the
great good accomplished by the vesti
bule limited Sunday school. The lec
ture was enjoyable in every respect
and everybody was pleased with it.
The music on the pipe organ by Prof.
C. J. Wallace was very fine and Was a
most enjoyable feature. The lecture
will not soon be forgotten.
Mr. Asa G. Candler is an enthusiastic
Sunday school worker. Although a
very busy man he has time to give to
