County SlnIly School Convention.
ThursuaN morning, Nov. %, after
repeated rail- 3, and clouds that etill
threatene (. the State secretary, j II &.
Engles, AID the county secretary ar
rived at Wesley Chapel church and
found the friends residing in the
vicinity ready to welcome the very
first who should arrive.
From the first there was an earnest
interest and q prompt response by
those who were on the program or
others present. The forenoon was
! filed with replies to the question
''Why are we here" by those present,
and the replies indicated that those
who had braved the obstacles to at
tend the convention each had high
purpose to accomplish.
AT the first days noon time inter
mission the visitors were taken to the
nearby homes and entertained with
cordiallty that prevailed throug h.
out the two days we spent with the
sunday School people of Usage town
ship.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
Opening devotions were lead by
Rev. McNabb of Moran. The audi
ence was enlarged by delegates and
residents and the Qualifications OF
superintendent, assistant. secretary
and teacher" were discussed. Many
practical ways that have been tried
and found successful were brought
out. ANY friends who desire can eX.

portance III winning and holding at.
tentlon. A resolution on the election
of Brigham Roberts from Congress
enlisted the audience and was signed
by the voters, and another by the
ladies praying that pOlygamlst
might never hold seat in Congress
to make laws for our loved land. The
county president, H. II. Jones, was
able to reach the convention in time
to preside.
THURSDAY EVENING.
The devotiOns we're lead by j. 4
Tredway and music by the people o
the township. A good organist and .
ready response made an entertaining
evening session, but the ability o
Secretary Engle to handle each anC
every phrase of the Sunday Schoo
work assigned him was an attraction
that held the attention from first t.
last. He requested first a Question
Session. This means that every one
Is at liberty to ask questions and he
will try 10 reply. This has proven 3
very fruitful source OF profit to many
workers sessions. 1t seems to boi
down the subjects to tho most practi
csl details for the reason that each
worker presents distinct and specia
point and the replies fit so nicely that
they are appropriated and treasured
by the one seeking help. Secretary
Eugle's address treated first on "Tht
Home Department Class" a phase ol
the work that he always cOmmends
and plan that has been tried hui
little in our county. Mrs. II. w. Coz
of Elsmore, and others, we learn
maintain department III connection
with their Sunday School and II Il
go simple and reaches so large a class
of people, who for various good
reasons do not affiliate with our Sun
day Schools, and reaches out for those
whose sympathy and cooperation
seem opposed to the cause, that
why 1t meets with so little encourage
ment is puzzle to those who have
taken 1t up. (The necessary litera'
ture to enlighten any school will be
gladly mailed to any applicant who
will enclose cents and address Sec
