DEAR EDlroH.-we are slow TO believe that
any man who Is christian and who loves
little children as many christian do would
treat with indifference the Sunday School
Convention to be held on Saturday and sun
day June II and 10, unless he has wrong
understanding ofthe object of the convention
and Of the Institution that originated It. II
seems to me If there are such persons ia
Charles County. they ought to attend The
convention and see for themselves so they
can be rightfully informed The Maryland
good people, but they kIe people who know
nothing about it; such epposers are scarce in
those counties where its work has been en-
cournged and its power felt. Now, We want
good convention at La Plata and we want
every christian worker present 1t cannot be
charged against US that we are after money
in Charles County; it can not be charged
against us that we are seeking property and
notorlety; il cannot be charged against US
that we are laboring in the interest Of any
special denomination. We are trying to
awaken parents to higher sense OF RESPONSE
bility We nre trying to improve the Sunday
School work OF the county. We are trying
to arouse greater interest and enthusiasm in
behalf of the Sunday School work We shall
visit Charles County in the interest of the
children 10 the name of God, in the spirit Of
Christ and be who would hinder mission
like this ought to be prayed for, ana We vii
ask the Convention to do so.
