forenoon was taken up with devotion
al exercises, as preparation for the
convention that was to follow.
The first on the program was scAIeths
DDS in Sunday School Managementls
by Hon. j. S. Drake, of Topeka. Tais
was a soul stirring address. If the
methods that were advanced by this
earnest man, were in vogue in every
Sunday School in the county. we
would soon have twelve thousand
within them IN place of less than two
thousand, as was afterWard reportad
The subject, Temperance Teaching
IN the Sunday SCHOOL, was opened
by Mrs. r. Rogers, of Phillipsburg.
Mrs. r. showed by the reading of this,
paper. to be lady who was alive to
the curse of intempranee. This sub
ject was fully discussed by almost the
entire convention. The discussion of.
'1he use of the Blackboard and Nor
NAL Methods" was opened by Revs
Hindman and I. johnson. This prov
ed to be a live subject and a profit
able one to all who participated in the
convention. This was followed by
the children's mass meeting at 4:15
p. N.
FRIDAY EVENING.
One of the most instructive and best
lectures ever delivered in the city, was
listened to by fair sized audience at
the Baptist Church in the evening.
Mr.. Drake spoke for one hour and
half on the Relation of the Sunday
School to the Future of our Country"
The only matter of regret is that every
person in the county of reasoning
powers, did not hear this lecture.

es were opened by season of devo-
tionals. The symposium, ''The Sun
day School Teacher" was then dis
