Of L. w. Hawley over Sunday, having
come to Brattleboro with Mr.. Hawley
from the state convention in Ver-

good number of Sunday school work
ers in the afternoon in the Baptist
vestry telling of the work of the asso-
citation in the West and more particu-
larly on the subject, THE Sunday
School Teacher a Soul Winner" He
said, and it is without doubt true, that
the position of Sunday school teacher
is higher than that of superintendent,
the superintendent Outranking the
teacher only as an executive officer.

much on any particular method as on
the punctuality, character and devo-
tlon of the teacher. Mr.. Lawrence is
a very effective and graceful speaker
and his hearers listened with close at
tention.
