These annual conventions are held for
the purpose of disseminating Information
concerning Sunday school work. particu-
larly in our local field, and creating a more
general interest in Sunday school work
among ALL including those not actively en-
gagged in such work. The particular OBJ
jects of the convention, however. are TO
active sunday school workers, to give an
opportunity for the discussion and con-
sideration of and instruction In the best
methods of work under both actual and
ternal feeling among those engaged in a
particular field OF work for our Lord and
Master.
ITO these conventions all interested in
Sunday school work are welcome. Our no
tices and invitations go well to those
schools of the white evangelical churches
which are not members OF the District asso-
citation as to those who are members. But II
is found In gatherings OF this character
that the fact that a person has been ap-
pointed or chosen as a delegate Increases
the probability of that person attending.
and we therefore ask that each school re-
ceiving this notice appoint or elect set OF
delegates and that this committee be fur
nished with the names and residences Of
the delegates chosen. that we may send
credeHtial cards, to be filed out by the
proper officer of your school and then pre-
sented at the convention. that a record may
be kent Of all accredited delegates In at
