Sunday School Work.

State Superintendent Mock Writes of
the Gathering Of District Delegates
at Chesapeake City.
State Sunday School Superintendent
George II. Mock, of the Maryland Sunday
School Union, of Baltimore, writes the
CECIL WING as follows, concerning the
District Sunday School Convention held in
Chesapeake City last month"; spent n
couple of days very pleasantly in Chesa-
peake City on May 9TH and 9Th, attend
ing the District Sunday School Convention
1t was great success and seemed TO be
heartily enjoyed by the people of the town
and surrounding country. We were glad
to see number from EIkton. 1t was
worth log drive to hear Mrs W, G.
Taylor, of Baltimore, present the lesson
and talk on Primary Methods. Miss
Mary Edwards, City Missionary of the
Maryland Sunday School Union, gave an
interesting talk on "Slum Work" The
fact that a large number of the people
who live in the slumB in the midst of
poverty and filth and often depravity,
were originally from the counties These
distressing conditions are the result of
defective home training and defective Sun
day School teaching if they had any at all.
They iloated to the city with brightest
hopes, but not with sufficient force of will
and character to withstand the evil temp
tations and influence of city life. Submit
ting to these they drfted into the slums.
Her descriptions Of Stun life were graphic
and impressive. The writer had something
to say at every session.
The singing was excellent. Messrs.
Henry Vinsinger and John Terrell, of
Elkton, gave US solos, which were heartily
enjoyed.
The first Sunday School District Associa-
ton, embracing the First, Second and
Third districts, was organized with the
following officers: President, Charles Kirk;
First vice president, Geo. A. Blake Second
vice president, Miss Leila Mccoy secretary
Miss Lidia Alexander; treasurer, John E.
Reed.
The county will be divided into three
Sunday School Districts and a convention
held annually in each. The district con-
venton for the Second Sunday School
District will probably be held at Zion in
June, should the churches there decide to
accept the blessing The county conven-
tion may be held at Elkton in the fall
These conventions never fail to leave with
the churches and Sunday Schools rich and
permanent blessings, for the Lord is with
them.
We were pleased with Chesapeake City.
1t is picturesque place, and has COM
Portable homelike appearance. The people
are hospitable and prosperous.
The churches of the town are harmonious
and cooperative, and her pastors are popu-
lar and progressive.
