Sunday School Convention.

The Executive Committe of the
State Sunday School Convention is
sending out the following letter:
"The great Sunday School work in
which we are engaged Is worthy of
the best efforts of the best men, and
its success, under God, depends upon
such efforts upon the part of all who
love our Teacher. The object of this
Convention is to get Christians to
unite for aggressive work. We can
not stand still. We must not IL we
could, for the command is Go. Over
one half the children in Mississippi
are to-day outside the Sunday School,
aud therefore without proper religious
training. We are determined to save
them, if possible, and we want your
help. Will you give it
"The State Sunday School Conven-
ton is inter-denOminationaI. No one
is asked, or expected, to surrender
one single religious conviction, but
reserving all our UNCONVENTIONAL pc
culiarities, we meet and consult as to
plans and methods of work, and each
one applies these to his own particular
work as far as he deems them wise or
necessary. In our meetings we get
the benefit of united counsel without
being bound by any obligation to
adopt what does not accord with the
! individuals conviction of right.
"The next meeting of this COnven-
ton will be held at Greenville on
April q to 30, 1891, and we hope
to make it the best meeting we have
ever had. Hon. VIM. Reynolds, Su-
periutendent of Organization for the
International Convention, and Mrs.
w. F. Crafts, the leading Infant Glass
teacher in the world, will be present,
besides the best workers of our own
and adjoining States, and all who at
tend will be amply repaid. Sunday
Schools would do wise thing to send
some of their best men and women to
the Convention. We earnestly re-
quest Your fraternal cooperation, and
ask that you read this to your school,
and send delegation to Grcenville."
