not revised their role of pupils we
hope they will do so at their
earliest convenience. This is the
only source from which we can
make up the Sunday school statis-
tics and have them correct.
Pleasant Valley Sunday school,
Union township, was visited Sun
day, June 10th. Mr. A A Myers
has been superintendent OF this
school for several years and says
he feels his interest increasing in
the Sunday school work-so it
should be with every Sunday
school worker. This was the first
Sunday school that bought an
organ last year. Since that time
thirteen schools have supplied
themselves with organs and sew
eral more are laying aside fund
for this purpose now. Upon the
suggestion of Mr. Myers the school
decided to purchase enough bibles
to supply all the larger classes.
There are still some schools that
do not have sufficient supply of
bibles, but we hope to see all have
them before the year closes.
Calhoun Sunday school is doing
nicely under the management of
H w Glover. The attendance
has ranged from forty to fifty the
last few Sundays. Mr. Glover is
one of the superintendent that is
never left. When the organist or
choriters fails to come he mounts
the organ stool and leads the
music himself.
A Sunday school was organized
in the Pleasant Valley (St. John
township district, Sunday, June
Sd, and we'll manned with officers
and teachers. Mrs Harder was
elected superintendent. The names
of thu other teachers and officers
have been mislaid. Mrs Harder
is a sister of Mrs A B Hosbrook,
secretary of the Harrison County
Sunday School association, hence
we have no hesitancy in expecting
good results from this school,
knowing her proficiency in this
line of work.
Mrs G H Longman, superin-
tendent of the Mt. Vernon school,
Lagrange township, reports her
school getting along nicely and a
large attendance every Sunday.
Yorkshire Sunday school was
ae-organized Sunday afternoon,
June 10th. The following officers
and teachers we're elected: Mrs
Edward Howard, superintendent;
Miss Kate Stoker. assistant; Miss
Luella Howard, secretary; Miss
Stuehie, treasurer; Miss Kate
Stoker, organist. Teachers: Mrs
Martin, Mrs Henry Howard, Miss
Stoker and Mr. Henry Howard.
Judging from the number of
school children in this school dis
trict and the interest shown by the
few parents present there is no
doubt but what there can be a
good Sunday school. The musical
talent is excellent.
The festival and entertainment
at Jeddo few evenings ago was
a marked success in every particu-
lar. A special program had been
carefully prepared by the teacher
of the public school, Miss Viola
McCoid, Of Woodbine, which con-
sisted Of music, recitations, dia-
logues and a missionary drill. Il
was rendered in way that was
not only credit to the partici-
pants and entertaining to the
audience, but showed taste, skill
and patience on the part of Miss
McCoid in drilling them to such a
stage of perfection.
The house to house visitation
supplies have reached us at last
and have been placed in the
hands Of the people that the diff
ferent townships have been as
signed. We would like to see
this work pushed to rapid com.
pletion.
