Modern Building For Sunday School In Atlanta, Georgia If you should stand at the corner of North Avenue and Juniper street in Atlanta you would see a fine looking five-story building, with walls of light red brick, sand-stone trimmings, and a red tile roof. It looks like a modern high school or library, but it is the new Sunday school and church activities build ing of the North Avenue Presby terlan church. It is probably one d the finest and best equipped Sun day schools In the country. In addition to a large number ol classrooms for all departments thi, school has the following interest ing features: a Boy Scouts’ room, o missionary room, a missionary li brary, mother’s class room, two well equipped kitchens, gymnasium a superintendent’s office with 8 switchboard from which a bell on any floor can be rung and a switch that rings all of the bells in the house at once. There is even a midget piano in the cradle roll room, with fyrniture specially built for the little children. On the ceil ing of this room are stars, and the floor covering Is of soft green. Dr. Marion McH. Hull, the well known Sunday school worker and writer, is superintendent of the school, and has written a story ol how this dream came true and what gives their building its great usefulness today for the best sort ol present-day Sunday school work. There is no adventure like mis sionary adventure, but think of hav ing Paul's missionary journeys made vivid by an electrical map! A Penn sylvania Sunday school has worked this out, with batteries and a bulb, and when a question about a place visited by Paul is correctly answer ed by a pupil, the bulb flashes its !LgiHL'LLliH_. J___ _!■» light; if the question Is not an swered correctly, the bulb lioc n t burn. The efficiency and equipment number of The Sunday School Times tells just how to rig this u;i in your own school while the into: national uniform lessons are cover ing Paul's missionary Journeys.
