| Nine have NJ E. pastors, three have
Free Methodist pastors. two Presbyt ter
| ian, two Christian. one Baptist, one Con-
gregatIonal, one Christian Catholic, and
four have no regular preaching services.
One of the above schools have preaching
once month.
These last are found ia the western
part of the county where it is sparsely
settled and where about two Christian
families are trying to study the Word to-
gether, and teach it to others; and are
meeting continually with 40 encourage
ment, having no cheering or inspiring
| word spoken TO them. spiritual food
offered them, and coming in contact with
nothing but Indifference TO their work
and their teaching. they lose their fire
and allow the teaching to become me-
chanical, thereby increasing the indifer-
ence of those whom they are trying to
reach. While, on the other hand, if they
had pastor who could preach them u
good, hearty sermon, pointing them to
the source of all help aud strength, give
them hearty handshake and 4 God bless
you in your work. they would increase
the effectiveness of their teaching and
hold the outsiders to the study until they
became interested for themselves.
L believe that this Association can do
We can secure some one to hold revival
meetings during the winter months and
this would strengthen those workers and
probably convert some of the worldly
neighbors. / Cor. :21 and James 5 20
Second, district conventions have proven
helpful ia these districts and recon-
mend that the Executive committee hold
an annual conyention in each district.
Third, that county and district officers
do more visiting Some county officer
visit each school of the county once q
year and the district officers visit each
school in their district at least twice a
year.
Fourth, that each school make a pledge
of whatever sum of money it feels able to
contribute to County and State Associa-
ton work.
Fifth, that some part of the house in
which the school is held, be separated
from the other part by means of movable
curtains, and this part be given to the
primary teacher and her class, and that |
she be urged to use the blackboar |
That the superintendent use it in his re- |
view of the lesson every time. All peo- |
pie realize the fact that you can hold the |
attention and fix facts much more clearly |
through the eye and ear than by the ear /
alone.
See to it, superintendent and Primary |
teachers, that this done the coming year |
n your school.
Sixth, that active work be done by the |
Home Department Superintendent before
he district conventions and individual I
schools, showing the need of it. the bene-
its derived from it and urging them to
axe up this work. L believe that IN
avery community can be found some I
person to take up this work,
f the subject was properly presented be-
ore them. This work would be fulfill
ng Christ's instruction, $50 ye out into
he highways and hedges and compel
hem TO come in that my house may be
illed. - Luke IA :23.

With the balm of his counsel our strength

find to do.
Let us hope! Let watch,
And labor till the Master comes
