To the Endeavorers of Moran:
In this short report 1 can only give
you a little of the many good things
we received from the Junior Period
of the State convention in Topeka.
Wednesday morning from 8 to Il
O'Clock was given to the Junior work
ers Institute, Miss Lizzie Coult, State
Supt., presiding. This meeting open
ed by a short song service, led by
Prof. Tracy, followed by q chain
prayer by the superintendent. The
Bible study for Juniors by Mrs. Allen
of Sterling, was fine. Here are some
of the points she brought out: First,
have the Juniors believe in the Bible,
that il is Gods word and through it
He is speaking to them. Teach this,
that the Bible amounts to a great
deal. When they come to you with
questions from and about the Bible
answer them carefully and be sure
that they get correct impressions and
insist that it is right because the
Bible says it is. Second, Memorize
the Bible, learn verse, tell book, chap
ter and verse before repeating the
verse. Tell something about the
books of the Bible, who wrote them,
and where to find them quickly.
Third, Use the black board, illustrate
the lesson, have one of the Juniors
put drawing on beard if you have one
that can do it, if not do it yourself
superintend or have some one else
do it who can explain the lesson tC
be taught. How to teach, lst by
topics; 2nd by characters from the
Bible, take up new channels, girls
select women's names, boys select
mems names; 3rd teach in couplets
such as Jonathan and David, take
things as we'll as characters: 4th by
objects, animals of the Bible, money
eyes, ears and hands; 5th what must
l do to be saved, draw balances or
board putting good names and deeds
in one side and evil on the other, see
ing which side weighs down first
let the Juniors give the names; 9th
books of the Bible, phrases, obser'
vance, close the meeting with pledge
Just before the benediction. Duet. 9th
chapter, 1 find these words "do,'
''go." "teach." Say nothing you
would not say if Jesus were present
How to secure the cooperation o
parents" was given by your present
State superintendent. Parents CO
operate with superintendent in hav
ing the Juniors read the Bible and
pray every day, in getting then
ready for the meetings, in giving
their homes fer social time, yes il
many ways. Superintendent should
call at the home and talk in a pleas
ant way with the mothers, yes anC
the fathers too, about the Junior
work. Pastors help in occasionally
presenting the Junior work from tht
pulpit. Think this should be done
more than it is. Pledge observance
was brought out in an excellent man
ner by Miss Margaret Carpenter, o
Oswego. The parents dutyn by

all of which papers were full of help
full suggestions, but time does no
permit me to dwell on each.
The Boy question was well pre-
scented by Mr.. Clyde Boyd, of Strong
City. If any one wants helpful sug
gestions along that line, write to him
He will gladly answer you. h
claims that more young men should
be interested and help in the Junior
work. They understand boys better
| and can enter into their life and ways
better than ladies can. He suggests
that either the superintendent or the
assistant uperintendent should be &
young man. The foundation fol
Junior work: rock, Christ Jesus
walls, pledge, fish-pond, Sunday
school. Someone starts a Junior soci

dsy school, both boys and girls
Everything goes along well for &
