WHISTLING CHORUS LATEST IDEA
IN SUNDAY SCHOOL PRIMARY CLASS
Atlanta now has New York beaten a
block when It comes to novelties and
innovations In churches.
And because of this the Trinity
Methodist Sunday school promises to
be an attractive placp each Sunday for
the younger boys who have been In the
habit of attending—some perhaps—be
ta use they were sent.
Rut now It's the Sunday school for
theirs. All this comes about because
of the plan Inaugurated last Sunday In
the primary class by the teacher, Mrs.
F. p. Gaffney.
The little boys In this primary class
now whistle the Sunday school hymns.
At leant, they did last Sunday, and so
well'did‘It work that It might be kept
up.
Last Sunday just after (he lesson had
been finished, some of the restless
youngsters Indulged in moro or less
whistling, of course the kids thought
they would be reproved for this, but
they received a surprise Instead when
Mrs. Gaffney sweetly asked If they
Would prefer whistling the next son*.
Almost to a.youngster the boys as
sented and while the little girls in the
class sang the next song, the boys
whistled the tune, and whistled‘it well.
And instantly the school became more
attractive. Mrs. Gaffney's innovation
made a hit and the innovation was a
pleasing one at that, even though it
was odd.
