N SCHOOL CONVENTION.
The third session of the 8. W. Mo. Conference
s. S. Convention WAS held at Lexington. Mis-
souri,, July 18th, 18th and 18th. There were
present some thirty in attendance. Owing to
tho extreme warm weather there were fewer

Among those taking . more active part in the
work of the convention we're DR.. Hendrix,
president of Central college, DR. Nathan Scsrritt,
Judge Holmes, T. Young, Esqr.. and DR..
Woods. of Kansas City, and Judge Strother. Of

burn, OF the Presbyterian church. Judge
Strother's address. ''The Moral and Religious
Education Of the Young Necessary for the
Perpetuity of our Republican Government"
was replete with sound counsel in chasts words.
and delivered in an elegant manner. Unani-
nous resolutions of thanks to the citizens for
their charming hospitality, and to the railroads
fer Kindness extended to the c0nventisn. were
adopted. Rev. J. Spencer. the quiet yet ever
energetic mover OF the 8. 8. normal work inter-
esed all in this new and important departure
in Sunday school wsrk. He deserves success.
Let him not be discouraged; he will succeed.
Mr.. Jos. A. Edmonds, secretary. writes u.s.
Clay township Sunday School Association held
it's July quarterly ON the grounds of Charles n.
Thomas, Esq. instead Of Fsirview schsolhouse,
as previously agreed upon. The change was
made on account of the schoolhouse being entire
ly too small to accommodate the assembly, and
because there was abundance Of water and shade
at the bridge grove. President A. T. Kirtly
was unavoidsbly absent, Wh%ereupon the score
tary nominated Rev. A. A. Moore. and he was
unanimously elected. The association was
opened by prayer and singing. Aftsr the read
ing and passing Bpon the minutes Of the last
quarterly, the audience was addressed by Elder
j. A. Mediation, Messrs. J. f. Renick, c. n.
Thomas, Jerry Lee and a number of others
upon all the prominent points OF the Sunday
school work. The ladies Of Fairviswa and vicin-
ity spread before the hungry people everything
good. from the tender chicken to the fat sheep.
and as for the good things to finish on there was
such an abundance that the people could not
sample them, and many baskets returned home
almost untouched. Uncle Billy Lsuderdale
need never again make an ugly face fer tear
there will not be enough provided by his people
to feed the Clay Sunday school quarterly,
Never Our meeting was not Is fully attended
