Mr.. O'Harra of Shelby county, Ala. was
invited to the floor of the convention and ac-
credited 9 delegate. His remarks brought
out the suggestion OF committee,
each member representing a small dis:
trict or beat, to watch the trend of
the work of the Sunday schools, and to re-
port to the committee in assembly the status of
the schools in their district. He told pathetic
incidents as TO how the sympathy of the indi-
vidual upon the unclothed and unfed children
would facilitate the effectiveness of the work.
Mr.. Harris of Archer county continued in
the line of thought as to how TO promote
the work of the association. and said that the
effectiveness and permanency or the work must
rest upon the proper motive, which must be
love to our God and our children. This GENTLE
man has been doing missionary work in the
great Northwest-the Panhandle, and said that
it had come to this point in that
section, whether the children have
education or not, whether or not they can
have the opportunities to grasp the principle of
Christianity. In the Northwest, he said, there
were thirteen counties with UNCONVENTIONAL
Sunday schools but thirty three without Sunday
schools of any kind. He favored the
Union Sunday school and said that
he was tired OF those people who placed them
selves in the position to say that they were
strong Baptists or strong Methodists.

delegates to speak on the question of ''How the
Work of the Association is Promoted
