A Good Attendance and n Successful
Meeting.
The Sunday schools of London
derry and adjoining towns held a
rally on Tuesday, the 10th inst, in
the Baptist church in South London
derry. The number present indica-
ted good degree of interest in Sun
day school work. There were fore
noon, afternoon and evening sessions,
all of which were we'll attended.
After season of song and prayer
the meeting was organized by the
election of Mr.. l. B. Miller as presi-
dent and Rev. W. A. Evans as sec.
retary.
The subject "Some of the essen.
tials of Sunday School Rally" was
presented by Mr.. w. H. Hall and
Rev. A. H. Francis. Some of the
points made were: A good program,
the Rally well advertised, free gener-
al discussion and an interest in
Christian work.
"The Supplement Lesson" was dis
cussed by Mr.. |. B. Miller. The
training of the Sabbath school is
spiritual, but it involves mental train
| lug also, since the heart and character
are influenced by truth. Hence the
Sunday sshool should impart a
thorough knowledge of the Bible.
Plans of work in the county were
discussed and Reverends Forrest,
Wood and Frazee were made COM
mittee on permanent organization
for this section of the county.
The afternoon session was opened
with song service conducted by Mr..
j. b. johnson.
"a Bag with Holes" was discussed
by W. Fl. Hall. We put into the
Sabbath school money, time, brains
and effort, and we should be able to
get something out of it, but we are
often disappointed. The remedy is
more thorough preparation, more
thorough work and more tact.
The committee on permanent or
ganizatlon reported, recommending
the formation of a permanent organ
ization, embracing all the schools in
the towns of Londonderry, Winhall,
Peru, Landgrove, Weston and Wind
ham, to be called the Sunday school
association of Londonderry, auxil-
liary to the Windham county Sunday
school association. This recommend
alton was ado )ted and on nomination
by the committee the following Of
ficers were elected:
President, Rev. F. E Frazee.
Vice presidents, Rev. N. A. Wood,

1.-THE Model Sunday School, was
described by MIR. Hall. The Model
Sunday school need not be large, or
rich, OIL magnificent in its appliances
but it must have the right spirit; it
must be missionary school, aceU or
ganized, deuotioaal, loving and it must
be school, that is a lace VIII e
knowledge is impaired
Rev. W A Evans gave an .xpla-
nation of the Normal Class 1t aims
to promote advanced study and to
provide better teachers. To teach
bible truth one must have thorough
knowledge of the Bible as book,
must know how to ask questions and
1t lustrate truths. To provide such
teachers for the future is the purp Sc
of the Normal Glass.
"The Molel Superintendent" was
described by Rev. H. f. Harmed.
The Superintendent occupies very
responsible position. lie should be a
godly man, should have definite
Christian character, should be man
of prayer, man of infinite tact, and
of infinite zeal He is moulder of
character aad therefore should be an
example of integrity and piety.
