| rows's lessons have been priced by all at
tending. DIR. Clymer's last lesson given to
his class was full of sound advice to Sunday
school superintendents. This is the first
year he has been at the Fryeburg assembly,
and he has won the hearts of all by his ear
nest, wide awake leadership of the normal
class.
