Huddleston as her two delegates, with
Mrs. Josie Shaver and E. g. Hendersoa
as alternates. There should be no rea-
son for our school not to make hattering
report. The attendance seems to be grow
ing ana interest increasing, with each
week; ther9 is good corps OF teachers
who are regular in attendance; a good
organist who never fails to preside every
Sunday morning with dignity and ease;
all of whom are encouraged and supported
by a superintendent whose attendance Is
exceptionally good, which is an assurance
without which no Sabbath school can
prosper. The conventions committee OF
arrangements should have programs prlA'

would be likely to add to the success OF
the occasion.

ded that the next time that individual re-
hected on our costume we'd invite him to
walk up and take peep at our armory,
a brief section of shoel, bona tide DEVIL

once sset upn in school-teacher style the
offender would be locked in the back room
and compelled to read Patent office reports,

waiting for copy, should throw linked paper
balls at his head for passtime.
