| better. providing 1t would lower the prices
! to meet the rates given by other publication
| houses. DR.. Crowell said the missionaries
should remember that the opposition pub
Usher was a man who issued the pamphlets
| and book simply as a money-making
scheme. and that the publications of the
union were much better suited for Sunday
school work than those issued by the other
| publishers.
Before an adjournment was taken d. r.
NOyeS read the announcements for Sunday
services. as published in the GLOBE yester-
day morning, and announced that cOllec-
tons would be taken up in the several
churches for the forwarding of the work.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the opening of the afternoon session
the moderator stated that the delegates had
been invited to have a group photograph
taken, and an adjournment was taken to
the gallery. At o'clock the conference
was 3" called to order and a
short song service held. A COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Williams,
Mason and Humble was appointed OIL reso-
lutions with instructions to report at the
evening session. A paper on Childrens'
Day was read by Mr.. Sulzer. He believed
it grand thing for the children and also
for the union. He advised exercises such
as would interest. not only the children but
also the older persons. He suggested cele-
brating the siXty-second anniversary of the
| American Sunday School union and chill
drens' day at the same time. To make the
| day a success every one should be inter-
eSted in the work and united efforts will
increase the offerings. Every missionary
should cooperate with the secretary of the
union to make the day grand success.
Mr.. Humble said some day should be set
apart for the children to give offerings to
help out the work in the neglected districts
He suggested that the Sunday before
Thanksgiving be made the day on which
the collection be taken. Dr. CrOwell said
that he found that it was the easiest thing
in the world to get little children to give
money for missionary work. He thought
the money should be given. not by an ap-
peal to their feelings, but as part of their
worship. A motion was made that COM
mittee be appointed to confer with the Off
GERS of the union and arrange for the ap-
pOintment Of childrens' day, on which oc
casion the collections would be used in car
rying forward the work in the neglected
districts. The second Sunday in October
| was suggested as the date which would best
serve the interests of the work.
EVENING SESSION
The evening session was held at the Y.
VI. c. A. parl0r5, and a full attendance of
delegates was present. The meeting was
presided over by Thomas Cochran of st.
Paul. who is one of the vice presidents of
the union. Mr.. Cochran announced that
the subject to be considered would be Re
vivals, and he opened the meeting by
reading several appropriate selec-
tons from the Scriptures. Previous
to taking mp the subject for the evenings
consideration, c. Ii. Frady read a paper on
the subject of Ministerial Cooperation
With Sunday School Work. He visited
ministers of each denomination in his field.
and had the confidence of all the clerical
gentlemen. He had helped all denomina-
tons, and been helped in return by them in
locating new schools. The work of the min
listers and missionaries was all to the same
end. Another method to build up work
| by ministerial cooperation was by grove
work in the summer. and home meetings
in the winter. During his missionary work
sixty churches had been organized from
| Sunday schools which he had started.
The subject of revivals was then taken
up. and the best methods of conducting
evangelical work was explained by Messrs.
| Stevenson. Willard, De Croft and Shaw.
A short memorial service, in honor of Fred
| Jewett, member of the union, whose
death occurred during the past year,
was held, during which feeling
! remarks were made by the
members of the union and favorite song
| of the deceased was sung by his brother,
who is also member of the union. Re-
marks were made by Thomas Cochran, D.
K. Noyes, Rev. DR.. Crowell and Supt.
Ensign. and, on motion, the conference de-
cided to meet next year at Cedar Rapids,
