Election OF Officers.
From the opening session on Monda
afternoon until the close OF the big meet
ing last evening, the SEVENTEEN annua
convention OF the Hought and Kewee
nav county Sunday school convention
was a success. And il was a success il
more ways than one. Ii outdid by Ia
any previous meeting OF the association
in point OF attendance at the different
sessions, and il the interest taken in the
proceedings is to be taken as any criter
ion OF the success OF the gathering, then
1t was certainly meeting from which
great results may be expected.
There was not talk or paper on the
program but which showed the result OF
careful and thoughtful preparation and
from this fact alone it was interesting.
Another thing which greatly pleased the
officers OF the association and the prime
movers in the meeting was the fact that
the entire program was given in full as 1t
had been prepared.
As a usual thing the first few sessions
OF convention OF this kind which lasts
over two days are not very largely at
tended. In fact, ii generally takes sbont
two meetings to arouse sufficient inter
est to bring out big crowd and many
who are unable to attend but a few OF
the meetings invariably wait for the last
as it is very often considered the best.
But every meeting was we'll attended to
say the least. At the meeting last night
which brought the convention to a close,
nearly every seat in the vast auditorium
OF the Calumet M Z. church was occupied.
At the opening session on Monday
afternoon, the time was occupied with
service OF praise and prayer and E. X
Mohr, the State field superintendent,
held a meeting for the children which |
proved very interesting. The evening |
service included an address by Rev. d. |
Hasler Glass OF Houghton, on the sub |
iect "My Idea OF a Successful Teacher"
The evening service was interfered with
considerably on account of the electric
lights going out in the middle of the SER
