The Thirty-Second Annual Con-
vention of the Harrison County
Sunday school waa held in the
Methodist church in Logan, May
22-23, 1901 The clouds hung
heavily ladened with ram, thus
disc"uraging many from the rural
districts attending, but very fair
number of the Sunday school
workers had assembled in time
fur the opening devotional SER
vices which were conducted by
Rev III II Higee Of the Baptist
church, Logan.
Mrs A b Berry of Missouri
Valley read an excellent paper on
the Equipment of the Sunday
School Teacher" in which she
named being christian at heart,
a love for and a knowledge of
the Bible, genius for hard work
aud the ability of making the
most of opportunities as the most
requisite equipments of those who
would lead souls to Christ.
Rev. Mrs Mullineaux of Mag
nolia defined the elements of
Power in the Sunday School
Teacher" as ability and aptness
to teach, knowledge, being able to
vary manner of imparting instruc-
ton, the influence of every day
acts, and personality. The teacher
who would be power must pay
the price of success.
Reports from the schools were
then given by the secretary. Over
forty schools had reported. Great
advance was shown by these re-
ports, especially along the line of
primary work.
The afternoon session was
opened by praise service led by
Rev I 8 Molesworth, which was q
preparation and an inspiration for
the whole session.
The paper prepared by Mrs NJ
A Prantiss of Dunlap, upon "The
Aim Of the Primary Teacher"
was very fine. Mrs Prentiss said
one great fault or mistake with
primary teachers was, they were,
in their effort to simplify, apt to
fall below child's comprehen-
sion while the purpose should be
to expand the child idea.
"One former is worth a thous-
and reformers." This paper was
read by Miss Grace Rule of Dun
lap.
Rev D A Allen of Dunlap gave
some original ideas as to how a
review lesson could be conducted
proftably. A number present

the methods suggested by Mr.
Allen.

session by her paper OH the "Real
