Prof. j. A. Haig returned Fri
day from the State Sunday school
convention at Park River, which
he says was largely attended and
a very successful meeting in every
way. The professor extended a
cordial invitation to the associa-
ton to meet next year on the
Chautauqua grounds, and the mat
ter was referred to the executive
committee with power to act.
Everybody seemed favorable to
the proposition, and no doubt
satisfactory arrangements can be
made to secure the convention for
a weeks session next year. Prof.
Haig was honored with an election
to the Office of treasurer of the
association. He feels proud of the
fact that the Devils Lake Presby-
terrain Sunday school captured the
banner for the largest percentage
of attendance during the past year,
which is all the more creditable
from the fact that during a large
portion of this time the church
was without a resident pastor.
