The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1894-08-10
Shiawassee County s. S. Rally.

The Sunday School rally is d. ". sure
to come, it is calandered as one of the
coming events. Shiawassee county pro-
poses to be in line with these popular
and educative gatherings, and show to
her sister counties that she is ARREST with
these progressive times. And Owosso,
which is distinguishing herself as city
always able and willing to provide for
the largest ecclesiastical and fraternal
gatherings, is ready and now preparing
to do magnificent things for the rally.
An enthusiastic union meeting of near
ly all the churches was held in the Nj. +.
church last Sunday evening, presided
over by M. II. Reynolds, president of the
county S. S. Association, and the rally
movement was explained, the action of
the late Co. 5. 5. convention which voted
for the rally was endorsed, and in answer
to the question, is Owosso as city, and
are its churches and schools in sympathy
with the movement, and can we count
on the fraternal, moral and financial
support of the citizens, church and Sur
day school people to help make the rally
a grand success, the large audience by a
unanimous rising vote settled the matter
affirmatively and emphatically.
A committee made up of the city SUI
perintendents was appointed with in
structions to retire and make out list
of the proper committees and report to
the audience. They soon brought in their
report which was adopted, and which is
