The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1895-04-09

BILE for him to attend each county
convention, q schedule of dates tor
holding their meetings was pro.
posed by the State Convention, to
which the counties are requested to
conform as far as possible. In cases
where the time for holding county
conventions had already been fixed
and cannot be changed, we suggest
that Normal Institutes be held on
the dates suggested by the State
Convention, and the presence of
the Field Secretary secured, as he
may not be able TO attend the regu-
lar conventions when held on dates
other than suggested. The sched.
ule proposes is as follows:
Beaufort C~ounty-April %.
Hampton County-April 4-5.
Barnwell County--April 90.
Colleton County-April 11-12.
Charleston County-April 1917.
Berkeley County-April 1919.
Williamsburg County-April 1924
Georgetown County--April 1926.
Horny County-April 31-May 1.
Marion County-May 2-3.
Marlboro County-May rs.
Chesterfield County-May 9-1O.
Darlington County-May 14-15.
Florence County-May 1917.
Sumter County-May 21-22.

4. In Gods providence it hap
pens that Bro. VIM. Reynolds, of
Illinois, International Field Su-
perintendent can be in South Caro-
lima from March 30 to April 10 in
elusive, and will be present at such
meetings as we may hold during
that time. Let US make the most
of his visit. The period covers the
dates assigned TO Beaufort and
Barnwell counties. They are to
be congratulated. If any of these
cannot hold their conventions on
the dates suggested, some other
adjacent counties might get their
dates advanced by comforting with
Prof. Sans, and then secure the
benefit of Bro. Reynolds presence.
In the schedule of dates, Satur-
days, Sundays and Mondays we're
omitted. During his stay, let all
these be filled. Large macs meet
ings in central and accessible
places would give a good start to
our spring and summer campaign.
5. The time for this active cam
paign to open is near. Reader, if
your convention is to be a success,
preparation must be made for il,
the place of meeting selected, speak
ers secured, program announced,
the meeting advertised, etc. In or
ganized counties the officers ehould
lead off at once. In unorganized
one let those interested in our
Masters cause consult together and
make the necessary arrangement.
The success or failure of your coun-
ty convention, dear brother, may
depend upon the heed you give this
appeal. The Executive Commute
and the Field Secretary are anxious
to help ycu and to promote the
cause Of our Redeemer, but we can
hope for little without the co-opera-
ton of the redeemed throughout
the State. Remember you are not
called upon for great sacrifices, but
we ask your sympathy, your moral
support, your prayers and your
hearty cooperation. With these.
we believe that the year 1896 will
mark an era of advancement in
Sunday School work in South
Carolina. The world has never
witnessed such progress and de-
velopment in this department OF
Christian activity as it beholds to-
day. If we fail to see it, aud use
it, ours shall be the loss and ours
the fearful responsibility. May the
Lord guide and bless us.
It is possible that other well
known and we'll informed Sunday
School workers may accompany
brethren Sans and Reynolds.
