helps to upbuild; 1T helps to upbuild
Michigan for at least four reasons,
and Michigan is better state for the
half million Sunday schools. 1t is
better morally. but it is also better
socially.
The conventions are social features
and rightly so. People do not meet
without doing good or harm, and there
should be the social side of the conven-
tion. Then it is good thing and is
upbuilding in a political way because
it trains to temperance sabbath obser-
vance, honesty and all that is good.
Do you know that every criminal trial
in Michigan costs more than Field
Secretary Days salary and travelling
expenses for year, or enough to run a
Sunday school of a thousand people for
ten years?
The meeting closed with general
discussion.

THE PRIMARY WORKERS.

The primary workers held an inter
esting session this afternoon in the
Sunday school room of the Congrega-
tiOnal church. About 200 people,
nearly all ladies, were present. Mrs.
M. III. Reynolds, of this city, presided.
The song and devotional service the
first feature, was under the direction
of Mrs. r. A. Hough, of Jackson. Mrs.
William Strong, of Kalamazoo, dis
cussed Primary unions; elements of
success and failure" and general dis
cussion followed. Mrs. G.. L. Fox, of
Grand Rapids, and Miss Clara Wheeler,
of the same city, discussed relevant
topics.
A noted primary worker, Mrs. Mary
Foster Bryner, of Chicago, was present
and entered into the discussions, giving
the meeting the benefit of her wide
experience.

TUESDAY EVENING

The meeting at the Baptist church
last evening called out crowd which
filed the large auditorium, the gal
lery and large part of the Sunday
school rooms with the gallery sur
rounding them. Prof. Excel conduct
ed praise service and astOniShed the
audience by convincing it that tcould
indeed sing.
After the reading of the scripture
lesson for the evening and the Offering
of prayer by Rev. f. S. Lyon, the adj
dress of welcome was given by Rev.
Carlos H. Hanks. Mr.. Hanks assured
the delegates that OwOsso had been
looking forward to their coming in re-
Spouse to her invitation to them. Rare
ly do people come together bearing any
nobler aims than those before him.
They came bearing no party name ex-
cept the name which the early chris
tians bore, that of christians. Only
good can come from the meeting of
such people. AS in days of courtllness
we say tonight, yourselves your SER
wants, for Jesus sake
In response Prof. G. II. Quincy as
sured his hearers that while the words
of welcome had touched his heart, yet
it was all felt before in the words Of
greeting and the handshakeS with
which they had been met. lie had
asked himself why they were to be
welcomed, and after asking if it was
because of their wealth, good looks or
ability to eat, he concluded it must be
because they represented an idea-tne
Sunday school idea-to present Jesus
Christ to the world. And so we accept
your kind words and hospitality, hop
ing to go away the better representa-
tives of that idea.
After the response to the address of
welcome and the singing of America
by the congregation, the report Of the
chairman of the executive committee,
Mr.. e. X. Warren, of Three Oaks, was
given. Although this is the fortieth
annual convention there is no record
of the meetings previous to June, 1882
when the reports were published. The
following year George Parsons, of Wa
tervliet, was elected president and Mr.
E. X. Warren was elected secretary of
the association at the meeting in Eat

HAS ADOPTED STANDARD TIME.

At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the state Sunday school con-
vention, held in the Baptist church
this morning, standard time was
adopted as the official time of the con-
vention. Hon. e. X. Warren, of Three
Oaks, presided, and thirteen members
of the committee were in attendance.
The Baptist church, where the prin-
cipal sessions of the convention are
being held, is tastefully decorated.
Cut flowers and potted plants, includ-
ing liberal display of chrysanthe-
NUNS and American flags and bunting
are intertwined about the pillars and
walls. On the platform is a monster
outline map of Michigan, upon which
the counties having Sunday school as
sociations are marked. The two hand
some banners, which will go to the
first and second best counties ale also
displayed, as are Sunday school maps
of Kent, Wayne, Kalamazoo and other
counties.

Michigan State Sum
day School Associa-
ton at OWOSSO.
One of the Best Meetings in His
tory of Organization.
Notes and Summary of the Different
Days's Proceedings.

The fortieth annual convention of
the State Sunday School Association,
which began in this city at two
O'Clock this afternoon, is not blessed
with good weather.
At an early hour this morning, a
fine rain began falling. Later 1T
changed into snow, and delegates who
came in on the morning trains found
a carpet of white under foot while
the flakes were still falling steadily.
At every train were one or more
members OF the committee, who, under
the direction of Chairman A. ID.
Whipple were working intelligently
for the delegates welfare. The new
Corners, many of whom wore tiny
bows of white ribbon were escorted to
the Congregational church, where
General Chairman B. S. Stratton,
assisted by Miss Charlena Robbins, G..
T. Campbell, Harry Crosby and e. Q.
Van Ness, assigned them quarters
during the convention.
DIR. B. S. Sutherland is in charge OF
the escort committee, members or
which guide visitors to the homes
assigned them. Mrs. A. M. Hume,
chairman of the reception committee
is also at the church and with her are
Mrs. @. d. Stewart and Mrs. Geo. b. Nc
Caughna, who assist in welcoming the
new corners.
Owing in part, perhaps, to the bad
weather, the registration this morn
ing was quite light. After the four
nine O'Clock trains, two Michigan Cen
trail, Ann Arbor, and Grand Trunk,
only about fifty had been registered,
although others were still coming in.
1t is hoped that all the delegates
who come can be accommodated with
places, and from the present outlook,
they probably will be. The solicitors
who were out yesterday had very good
success.
One of the most picturesque
and interesting figures at the conven-
tian will be that of Prof. e. o. Excel,
of Chicago.
Prof. Excel is Methodist singer of
wonderful voice and a compelling en-
thusiasm which sways vast audience
in song with single heartedness
which is really marvellous. Besides
being singer, he is well-known COM
poser of choir and sacred music. Mr..
Excel will have charge Of the music
of the convention.

Convention Notes.

Marion Lawrance, Of Toledo, inter-
national secretary Of Sunday school
associations who spoke yesterday aft
ernoon, delivered talk veritably over
flowing with good things. Mr.. Law
RANGES language was crisp and ener-
getic, his manner forceful. "When
we save a man we save a soul; when
we save boy we save life, soul, a
whole multiplication table! We have
the right on our side-we're bound to
win. Our object is to bring about
temperance, clean politics, pure lives.
We are doing it by educating the youth
of the land to abhor liquor, political
jobbery, social impurity. 1t is a glo-
rious work !"
The value of advertising is fully IN
derstood 10y the progressive business
men who form the executive commit
tee of the State Sunday School Associ-
alton. In urging better county and
township organization, Chairman War
rem said: ''It is important that we re-
aliZe the value of advertising in con-
nection with our work. If it is of the
utmost Importance in business life,
why not in the dissemination of the
gospel? When Christ said, $50 teach,
60 PREACH" in modern language he
meant, go advertise = And we have
great things to advertise. The gospel
owes the world everything so let the
world know it.
Chairman Stratton has new method
of assigning delegates to their tenn
porary homes and it works like a
charm. At former conventions it was
customary to assign delegates in adj
vance. Chairman Stratton and his
force wait until they come, "size them
up" and send each to a congenial
family. That the committee figures
pretty correctly can be judged from
the number of delegates and families
which are mutually delighted with
each other.

Up to two o'clock this afternoon
225 delegates had registered and been
assigned to quarters. The afternoon

brought one hundred, the Ann Arbor
nearly as many. About two hundred
are expected on the Grand Trunk

TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

The value of organized Sunday
school work in the township was the
first subject, considered in an informal
way at the Tuesday afternoon meet
ing, by Mr.. e. *. Mohr, OF Grand
Rapids. The value of any kind of
organization at all was very briefly
considered, but i'm the final analysis
Mr. Mohr ascribes the chief value Of
the township organization to the per-
sOnal work which it is better enabled
to do than is either the county or the
state organization.
The value Of the organized Sunday
school work in the county was taken
up by Mr.. George w. Myers, of Hills
dale. An occasional person may be
found who will become enthusiastic
and a worker, but the most need to
have this enthusiasm aroused by ban
nerS, professions and other well-known
methods. The methods of making the
county conventions success, seemed
to be the securing of an executive COM
mittee made up of practical workers,
while another important means of
ensuring the success of the county
meetings was the liberal use of adver-
Using. Use the papers and advertise
after the meeting as well as before.
The last part in the afternoon s con-
sideration of the subject of organiza-
tiOn was the state organization, dis
cussed by Marion Lawrance, the inter-
national general secretary. "Uniting,
ingathering, upbuilding" is one of the
notices adopted by the international
association. Mr.. Lawrance turned his
special attention to it. Organization
is of value because there are so many
things which can be done better
through organization. This Michigan
State Sunday School Convention is the
only place where christian people of
Michigan ever come together unitedly
on one platform.
l. The Y. M. @. A. or the Y. w. G. A.
furnish the only place where christian
workers OF all denominations meet in
one common cause. The state associa-
ton Is of value In the state for what 1t
gives. The convention appropriates a
good speaker from this and from that
denomination and people get the STIR
ring up which they would never hear

nations. BY this feature MeChodists
aud Congregationalists go hand In

churches. 1t is the cheapest ingather.

STATE sECRETARY's REPORT.

The fourteenth annual report of
Mr.. M. II. Reynolds as general secreta-
ry was read by that gentleman this
morning. Some of the principal items
of the report were as follows:
With the exception of the time since
the first of last May, Mr.. Reynolds had
given all his time to the work of the
association, but since then he has CIV
en- but half of it under his contract,
though in reality he gives much more.
He believed, however, that the field
demanded the full time of two work
ers in Michigan. The field is so wide
ly extended geographically that the
distance at the widest points in the
state being practically the distance
between this state and New York.
AT the international convention at
Atlanta in April, 1898, Michigan was
reported fully organized, which includ-
ed the holding of state convention,
an annual convention in every county,
an annual report through the state
secretary, and the payment of pledge
for the international work. Since
then there has been falling off in the
number of counties which have held
county conventions. On the other
hand there is one more county in the
state which has held Sunday school
rally.
Michigan stands ninth in population
among the states, and has seventeen
per cent of her population in the Sun
day school. This is relatively, however,
not as low as it might seem, because
out of the states in which the work is
organized there are twenty in which
the percentage is lower. In fact the
average for the tifty-two states and
territories is but sixteen. The school
population of Michigan If 1888, and
34t per cent of it is brought under
bible instruction, which shows plainly
The need of visitation and ingathering.
There is total of 4,325 Sunday schools
with an official and teaching corps of
80, $50, and membership of 400, $50 In
Michigan today.
Returns have been difficult to get in
the home department work, but the
memberships approximately $3.50.
or the eighty-three counties of the
state sixty-eight are organized. Only
ten of the unOrganized counties are In
the lower peninsula.
There has been agratifying increase
in the upper peninsula where Field
Secretary Day has put in much work,
visiting ten counties and holding con.
ventions in seven OF them. Six coun.
ty conventions were resurrected.
In the lower peninsula there are
1O40 townships, about 450 of which are
organized and about fifty of these are
banner townships. The great need In
