From Thursdays Dailyl
TALKS ON METHODS.

Several helpful talks were made
yesterday afternoon, among them be-
ing blackboard exercise by DR.. Mer-
rill with the 2Srd psalm for the Bible
study. Superintendent A. P. Georgei
who is at the head Of the normal work
in the State, gave a model normal
lesson. He filled the audience with
enthusiasm.
Mrs. Preuszner talked on "A Story
for Children" interesting all.
A telegram Of response from the
Illinois State convention to the Kan.
sas association was read.
President George NJ. Herrick Of
Washburn college, Topeka, made a
line address on the relation Of the
Sunday school to the young people
and especially to the young men.
The problem Of the young man was
discussed, his habits are formed and
the idea is abroad that the Sunday
school is "goody-goody.' The school
needs the young man but it can get
him only through personal work.
Once secured, hold him by making
the school so progressive that he will
want to stay and bring others to it.
The opportunity is great and should
be seized by the workers.
EVENING ADDRESSES.
A most enjoyable feature Of the
evening program was the singing Of
the Polymnia club under the leader
ship Of Miss Hilty. 1t was appreciat-
ed by every delegate.
Mrs. Preuszner gave a "chalk.talk"
that showed much ability in bringing
out ideas by means Of the black board.

body feel that he is the right man fol
the place. He conducted an opening
song service, Miss Grace Peters bein G
at the organ.
Hon. M. Mohler, ex-secretary of thu
state board of agriculture, president
Of the association, presided.
Rev. A. P. George of Hutchinson
offered prayer.
President Mothers annual address
was a practical and uplifting talk. He
discussed at some length the state.
ment OF the editor of the Ladies' Home
journal that Sunday schools are de-
teriorating and showed its falsity.
1.-The fact is" said he, THAT the child
has come to be considered the most
important factor in the elevation and
civilization Of the race, because those
elements which make man a power
for good in the world exist primarily
in the child in an embryotic state and
it is only by proper training that the
divine elements in the child are
brought out in noble manhood and
womanhood. A child is the most
precious thing Of earth. 1t contains
in its little earthly tabernacle world
OF wealth which when developed may
make Kings tremble. Time was when
anyone could teach the child; now
the best talent obtainable is demanded.
More progress has been made in pri-
mary Sunday school work In decade
than in two decades previous and
more than in any other line of Chris
tian effort. Our mission is not to
make children religious but to keep
them So"
EDITOR sEMELROTH's ADDRESS.
After solo by Mrs. H. J. Hodge
and the singing Of America" Editor
W. j. Semelroth, Of the International
Evangel, St. Louis, made strong and
interesting address.
Mr.. Semelroth's topic was 1.-The
Bible and Popular Education" He
said: 1.-The greatest voice in the
world is the voice Of Cod the great
est power in the world is the will Of
God; the bible is the voice Of Gods
will. 10 know the bible is to know
God; to know the truth of God is
eternal life; to teach the word of
God is to redeem the world. This is
the consummation Of time and
eternity" The speaker followed out
this idea and continued: 80 knew
this book is the worlds greatest need;
and that need is greater at the close
Of this nineteenth century than ever
