This organization has been doing
good work for the Master in this
state for over half century, and an
auxiliary society was organized in
this county about twenty syears ago.
Many of'our earnest christian people
will remember the spiritual and help
full conventions and institutes held in
various parts of the county, conduct
ed by christian gentlemen, namely:
w. A. Baker, g. II. Mock, j. NJ Davis,
VIM ID. Hoye, Vim. Hinebaugh, c.
j. Otto, and others, and in the past
we have had the cooperation of al
most all of the ministers living in the
county, as well as a large majority of
the church going people.
| cannot in this short article set
forth all the claims of the society and
its designs, but will try to set forth in
clear light our duty toward the
society. 1t is not the purpose of the
society to interfere with Sunday
school work on UNCONVENTIONAL lines,
but assist and strengthen their work
wherever we can. There is such a
vast amount of work to be done be-
fore every individuakn the county is
enrolled as a Sunday school scholar
The work before US is immense but
nothing short of this will release us
from the great obligations resting
upon us. 1t is hardly possible to do
this in one generation, but God will
raise up other workers to carry on
his work until all will be brought
under the influence of the gospel.
Dear ministers, you can do won
derful work by joining us heartily in
the Sunday school work. Oh how
my heart has been cheered by the
hearty cooperation of many of our
ministers and their blessing upon the
work. 1t is an old saying and a very
true one that the Sunday school is
the nursery of the church. 1t is
through this medium that the great
est accessions to the church are
gained. We know that the ministers
are already an overworked people, but
we cannot refrain from insisting on
their aid in every way and meet with
us in convention.
Dear vice presidents, you are loca-
ted in the various districts of the
county and have been chosen to be
standard bearers of your district.
The success of the work depends
largely upon your efforts and we
believe you will in Gods name cult
vate the field given you. You may
ask the question, What are my du-
ties?n | will answer. | cannot tell
you all, but an earnest inquirer will
find much TO DO. | will, however,
give few of the leading ones:
/. Acquaint yourself, either in per
son or by writing, with all the Sun
day school superintendents in your
district.
2. Make an effort to have all the
schools i'll good working order not
later than the first Of April. In local
tiles where there are no schools
would advise you to see the people
and either get them to attach them
