3Oth and Thursday, July 1st. The
Sunday-School workers of the county
formed an organization ten years ago,
and since that time the meetings have
been held yearly. Most of the meetings
have been largely attended and of great
usefulness and interest. For tie most
part the conventions have been carried
on by those within the county. it having
been the custom of the executive COM
mittees to select speakers from the vari-
Gus evangelical denominations, making
such changes as were necessary to bring
all leading Sunday-School workers into
the harness, both for their good and the
interest of the meeting
1t is well known by all who have at
tended the conventions that great good
has resulted from them. Much useful
information is impaired and received at
each meeting; Sunday-School workers
are stirred with a new zeal; those not
before interested in Sunday work
have become interested through the con-
ventions and Joined the army of workers
in this excellent cause. Christians have

and done for the benefit of the children.
The various religious denominations
have been brought into closer friendship
by meeting together, twice each year, to
labor for the general good of the church
and the people.
This meeting will be held on the west
side of the county, but ought to be at
tended by representatives from the vari-
Gus schools in the county and largely
from the vicinity in which it is held.

great interest. We hope the friends
will make this an interesting convention.
