The executive committee desire the presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer of each ana
every county association TO meet them nc
Hedalia for special conference for an al.
vance all along the lines.
This convention must plan Tor the COM
plctc organic ltlOn of every county, so that
Missouri shall bU the Banner state at the
seventh International and the second
Worlds convention in 1898 America is tho
banner Nation of the world in sunday
school work. If we ali do our duty, we can
make Missouri the banner State of the ban
ncr Nation.
The response to the calls of the State exc
cutivc committee during the past three
years, which resulted in Missouri sending
ono of the largest and most influential
delegations to the sixth International con-
vention in Pittsburgh, Pa, in June this
year, makes rs confident thatCycry sunday
school ,workcr in the State, especially the
presidents of county associations, their exec
cutvc officers and their township officers
will unite heartily in bringing the counties
into line promptly that the tide of pros
perity may be felt in every county as it is
being felt now wherever active effort is
being made. Success has attended our cf-
forts til : year beyond all precedent and
your personal help will be of great bcncht
to our church. your county and our state at
large.
If every township vice president could
be at the State convention it would
strengthen and encourage them for better
work. If it were possible, every sunday
school in the State should send one or more
delegates to the State convention.
We have Il splendid programme, incluu-
ing some of the very best speakers in our
own as well ns pcighbOrHg states, and We
want good report from each county, (both
oral and written, for future rcfcrcucc) Ev-
ing complete list of all county and town.

your county is fully advised of our state
