RESOLUTIONS.
1t is recommended to the Sunday
school workers of Garrett county that
consecrated effort be made to put our
schools on higher spiritual and prac-
tlcal plane, and to this end be it
ReSoI0ed, That our schools be asked
to study some normal course that
they may become more efficient in
unfolding the truths of Gods word:
and be it
ReSot0ed, That we recommend the
institution of the Home Department.
which has been so useful wherever
adopted in linking the home with
the Sunday school and in increasing
the enrolment and power of the
school for good.
ReSotced, That it is the sense of
this convention that every SUNDAY
school in Garrett county should make
an annual contribution of some
amount to the Maryland Sunday
School Union, not only as an express
sion OF gratitude to the society for its
valuable work in the county. but to
aid in the interest of the neglected
children of the State.
ReSOt0ed, That our thanks are due
the church authorities of Loeb Lynn
U. b. church for the use of their edi-
flee for the sessions of the convention,
to the choir for their delightful music,
to the children for their sweet songs
and to the homes of the community
for their cordial hospitality.
