The church ought TO support the SundaJ
school on account of the importance OF the
work.-No Christian parent csn stford tc
send out the child untaHsbt, and no instru
mentality is so good 10 till the mind and
heart with truths that will enable them tc
resist evil and become good citizens. There.
fore. on every ground the church ought to
support tie school, and allow the school to
contribute to ell religious enterprises.
Mr.. David Richards said the bcst thing
that could be Goue was 10 teach the children
TO be bcneyo,ent-teach them young, and
they will grow up in good training.
- THE CoNsrITUTIoN-AGAIN.
On motion of Colonel Thomas j. Evans
the proposed constitution was taken up from
the table. .--..
DR.. Read said he thought there ought to
| be permanent organization, to gather and
retain all the good accom- mplshed by the Con-
venton. Organiz ition will carry objects for.
ward to valuable results. Enthusiastic efforts
are cot al ways permanent, but ofteu die out
because of no permanent organization.

school workers cannot come, and all who do

Convention adjourus without an orgauiza-

the Convention was keeping the housekeep-
erS waiting, as ii was about dioner.time.
The call was sustaincd-ayes, At; noes,

William II. Williams said no man ought
to oppose organization. Gentlemen have
only 10 look at the effects of organization in
the different denominations to see that per-
manent organization is the only way to per-
petuate good results. The meagre statistics
published to-day show that we need organi-
za,ion for that purpose, if for no other.
Rev. w. G. Lampkin said he was in favor
Of any movement that would do good-or-
ganiz lion or anything else; but don't let US
do any thing that will damage the cause, aud
60 nothing unless we have uuanimity in all
our works.
President Kirkpatrick Colonel Evans in
the chair said the effects OF the organization
would only be to have q recognized head OF
operationS-Some uuthoriz I'd parties dele
gated TO manage aifIlrs.
Let Us have union. Let it be known
that it is a union of feeling, Of Christian bro
therhood. A union OF all denominations
would show TO the world we are alive to the
usefulness and efficiency OF the Sunday.
schoo! cause.
Rev. A. G. Blcdsoe said these Sunday
school workers bad come 10 this Convention
voluntarily. An organization to compel
them 10 do this or that thing may cranpand
binder the Sunday school cause. Let us
have union governed by the common in.
tercsts OF the people of all sections. All who
have been here have been enthused by thls
Convention, and will go home 10 work more
faithfully than they have ever done before.
