Sunday is a day of interest with the First Baptist Sunday school, for there is something doing every successive Sunday different from the last Sun day. Yesterday the "something" was the presentation to the school ov church or two large, handsomely framed pic tures, one of the late Rev. A." G. Mc Manaway, one of the former pastors of me cnurcn; tne otner of Mr. T. S. Franklin, the present very active "and" popular superintendent of the Sunday school. The former was presented by Mr. W. C. Dowd; the latter by Dr. Barron. The pictures were unveiled by Mr. Bomar, as each speaker con cluded. Mr. Franklin's was hi-mo- wrr high up on the wall so that he could not see whose picture it was. He was led to believe it was the picture of Dr. Gregory, the pastor who preceded Dr. McManaway. He was very much sur prised when the veil was removed and his own face exposed to view. Mr. Dowd, in speaking of Dr. McMan away's picture, spoke entb.usiastica.Uv : of his work while pastor here. ! Dr. Barron, in presenting Mr. Frank lin's picture, said that it was highly ap propriate to honor the memory of the dead, but he believed in honoring the living, too. "If you have flowers to give a man, give them to him while he is living and can be helped and en couraged by them," said the speaker. He spoke of the affection in which Mr. Franklin is held by the school; of his earnest and untiring work; his effi ciency and fitness for service and the pleasure it is to the school to honor him, by putting his picture on the J wans ot tne cnurcn which he loves. and serves; of the fitness of acknowledging nis work wniie ne lives; of strewing his pathway, instead of his grave, with flowers. . Mr. Franklin was visiblv overcome at this demonstration by the school, but responded with becoming modesty and appreciation. After lesson talks were made by Messrs. Adams and Burns, both of which were bright and interesting. -The music yesterday was, as usual, fine. Everybody sings and the effect is ideal.
