The Carroll county Sunday school CONVEX. .
ton, under the auspices of the Maryland
Sunday School Union, was held at Taneytown,
beginning Friday night, July 81, and closing
on the following Sunday night
A fine audience assembled at the first meet.
ing, and the interest then awakened increased
with each session until the closing session,
which was attended by about 600 people, and
only the threatening weather prevented
much larger gathering. The convention was
formally organized on Saturday morning ny
the election of the following officers PresI-
dent Rev Pedro Riosecco; secretary, Miss
Grace Hochensmith; treasurer, George ii:
Birnie. An address of welcome was delivered
by Mr.. G. H. Birne. The following subjects
we're discussed during the convention: The
Worth and Work of Sunday School Conven
tions," by State Organizer f. II. Mock;
'Christian Growth - by Charles Ritter; THE
Model Teacher" by DIR. C. Birnie; The
Cheerful Sunday School Teacher" by Miss
Grace Hochensmith; ''The Teachers Life,
by Miss Sarah Snyder; How Can We Retain
Our Young Men in the Sunday School?' by
Charles Culp; How to Maintain Supply OF
Teachers by DIR. c. Birnie. Many other
questions were brought out by the question
box, which elected interesting and spicy
discussions. Among the other speakers at
the convention were the three pastors OF the
town, Rev ii. Ditzler, of the Reformed
Church; Rev. George w. McSherry, of the
Lutheran Church, and Rev. Pedro Riosecco,
of the Presbyterian Church; also Rev. Mr..
Brian, of the NJ. Il. Church at Middleburg.
One ofthe special features of the convention
was the organization of the Carroll County
Sunday School Association" auxiliary to the
State Association. The representation from
the various schools of the county was not
large, but il was thought advisable to make a
beginning, as it is desired to follow the county
convention with n series of district conven-
tons and institutes. "A constitution was
adopted, and the following officers elected tor
the ensuing year: President, DIR. j. w. Her
ing; secretary, Edward Reisler; assistant
secretary, N. IL. Bale; treasurer, u. ii.
Birnie; executive committee, DIR. j. }. Wea-
yer, L. 0. Grimes and Calvin /. Fringer.
The Sunday services were largely attended.
1t was found impractcable to have union
service on Sunday morning, as no one OF the
churches could hold the people. The child
ren's mass meeting filled every available
space in the large Lutheran Church IN the
afternoon, and the Sunday school mass meet
ing at night again taxed the seating capacity
of the church.
AT the last session resolutions were passed:
|, Thanking officers, homes and choir; z,
Expressing the sense of the convention that
all the Sunday schools of the county should
continue their sessions the entire year; 8,
That every member of the church, so far as
possible, should be members of the Sunday
school, either as teachers or pupils, or, II
prevented from attending, should give the
movement their helpful sympathy and prayers

entertainment at winchester Place.

On Saturday evening Of this week at eight
O'Clock Rev WHY'S Rede, Rector of Ascen-
sion Church, will give an illustrated lecture
nj Winchester Place. His subject will be
the Cathedral Churches of England, which
takes on a new interest from the fact that
magnificent cathedrals are about TO be built
in our own cities of Washington and New
York. The beautiful views with which some
of our townspeople are familiar will be shown
by the light of stereopticon. The lecture
will be given for the benefit Of the surpliced
choir Of Ascension Church and the proceeds
will be applied towards the expenses of the
chorister's camp. Prices of admission will
be as usual.
