The County Sunday School Con-
ysntion.

| The Sunday-school convention
at Grassy Lick June l1th, 1902
was success in every sense of the
word. The spiritual natures OF
those present were uplifted The
practical hints, plentifully season
ed with Attic salt, were most help.
full, and as for matters temporal
need anything further be said than
that the meeting was convened in
the hospitable nelghborhood OF
Grassy?
The convention was promptly
called to order by the President,
Mr.. John Frazer, after which an
address of welcome was cordially
given by the resident pastor, Rev.
Froh, to which Rev. r. b
Neal most happily responded The
report of the Secretary, Miss Mary
Anderson, was then called for.
Instead of the usual tablet of sta
tistics given on such occasions,
Miss Anderson, earnestly feeling
the lack of cooperation between
city and county workers, feeling
too the good their working to-
gether might accomplish, begged
leave to submit the following
paper, which was approved, and at
the request of State workers, is
here given in full:
If we are to judge by the inter
est manifested by our Sunday
school workers, the object of the
county Sunday-school convention
is not clearly understood.
So few words as to its object
and some plans that might be prof
itably put into operation will not
be out of place.
The object of this work is fra
ternal and helpful in spirit and
action. In no sense is it denomi-
in assisting any one
church as opposed to another, nor
is it undenominational in that it
wishes to work aside from denomi-
lines.
The aim is to be a means Of
helpfulness to all; (1) by in
creasing the efficiency of the indi-
vldual worker and thereby i'm
proving the local school. The
school will be better qualified to do
its work Just as the individual
members become more efficient,
and contact with others in ex-
change of ideas is one of the best
means to this end
,. The aim is again to create
the broadest possible fraternal
spirit between the denominations:
The Sunday-schools of all denom-
nations work to the same end,
that is, the conversion and chris
tian training of the pupil, and one
of the cardinal principles of chris
tian training is love for others and
the abolition of selfishness from
our hearts.
The growth of grace in the
christians life is conditional upon
willingness to serve our brother
without distinction of kinship, and
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1902-06-17

/ believe, of denominational lines
The logic of this doctrine is that
every Sunday-school in Montgom-
cry county should give its cooper
alton to the Sunday-school work.
3. A third aim of our work is
to put the blessings of Sunday
school within the reach of all the
children of the county. There are
over 100000 children in the school
age in Kentucky who are out of
the Sunday-school. If Montgom-
cry county has its proportion then
there are 5000 children in no
Sunday-school.
SUGGESTED PLANS OF WORK.
1t is not out of place to suggest
some things that would prove
helpful to us:
l. Our first desire should be to
have the active sympathy and CO.
operation of the ministers of the
county; this includes the town
too. When IS per cent of the
church membership comes through
the Sunday-school surely here is
the richest field for pastors efforts
If the leader is not in touch with
the work his followers will hardly
be.
2. May we not secure the SER
vices of a number of good workers
who will give one or more Sun
days to visit other schools over the
county, The visit Of worker of
another school encourages and
stimulates. This plan is used with
splendid results in some counties.
3. The county officers should
map the county and note any va
cant fields where schools should be
organized, and call the attention
of the church nearest to the oppor-
tunity there presented, and if the
church fail to improve the oppor-
tunity, then have some one visit
the field and organize a union
school.
4. We should covenant together
to pray for this work, that there
may be an aroused enthusiasm for
it and an appreciation of the means
of grace our Father gives us in
in this kind of work.
Reports of delegates represent
ing individual churches were next
called for. Only three responded;
Southern Presbyterian, Gilead,
and Grassy Lick.
These were followed by an inter-
esting history of the Sunday
school, pleasantly told by Miss
Pratt Hedden.
Mr.. T Williams then dilivered
an address on Equipment for
Service" practical, concise, ele-
waiting.
Mr.. II. NJ. Gum next spoke to
the convention concerning "rhe
Management of Sunday-schools. 4"
It's only fault was its brevity.
The Rev. Mr.. Bolin's succeeding
remarks on "Our Opportunities"
thrilled the whole convention and
were probably the most eloquent
of the day.
An hours intermission was then
given for dinner. Such dinner !
1t would take fully another hour
to do justice to all the good things
so abundantly provided.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March s.-The
mystery surrounding the murder of Mrs

Gus headache powder sent through the mails
is still unsolved. William Klump, the
husband who had been suspected Of being
the principal, or at least an accomplice in
the tragedy, is still confined in the county

thought to be possible clue seems to have
been broken by the receipt this afternoon of
telegram from Chicago as follows:
In Chicago since September. Miss Hattie

There were reports from Lowell residents
that Miss Whitfield had been seen In Lowell
within the last few days. It is on this

Maxim thinks the Marconi system will not
be q dangerous competitor Of the cable

argues chiefly on the difiicuity Of securing

with an apparatus for making such Z con-
fusion of waves as to render the apparatus

"Marconi now has the atmosphere to him.
SELF but when others enter the field and
all are making their little waves, though
they may not interfere with one another,
nevertheless the operator who receives them
and reduces them to the English Language
will have rather a difficult task.
"The Marconi system undoubtedly has
enormous value, chiefly for ships signalling

AeITATE AWAY HAIL STORMS
Austrians Fire Cannon and Break Up
the Icy Intentions of the
Rain Clouds.

Copyright. 1902. by Press Publishing Co.)
VIENNA. March e.-(New York World
Cablegram.-Specisl Telegram.)-It is eight
years since the first experiments In protect
ing vineyards and fields against hail by
firing cannon were undertaken on a scien-
tifc basis. In olden times all the church
bells were rung before stbrm and a
cannon was fred. The people believed the
noise prevented hAli clouds from bursting.
Experiments with cannon were made
lately In the wine country along the Dan
ube, near Krems, on a system invented
in st. Katherine, Styria. by @. Susching.
the engineer OF the Carl GreiDitz iron
works. The cannon were fred In two ways.
up In the air to height varying between
1900 and 1000 meters to prevent the form
ing OF ice in the clouds, and horizontally.
when a whirling air ring is formed. which
prevents frost from touching the plants.
The scientific observation upon which
these experiments are based is as follows:
Prof. Kreuschner of Darmstadt arranged
two poles of an electric current in a bowl
Of water In such a manner that one came
up in the water nearly to the surface, the
other came from above nearly to the sur
face, but without touching it. In the place
where the two wire ends nearly met Q fun
nei was IOTmeu IN Ine WhleIs from out OF
which tiny drops Of rain were thrown with
violence When the bowl was surrounded
with a wall Of paper 1t was found that
the tiny water drops were grains of Ice
hail. in fact
This experiment always succeeds when
the surrounding air is absolutely quiet. The
slightest disturbance Of the air, a move
ment Of the hand or heavy breathing,
stops the forming Of ice and drops of rain
only fly about
Just before a hailstorm begins there is
absolute quiet is the air. an ominous stand
still Of the atmosphere. and 1t is then that
Ice is formed In the clouds. The firing OF
cannon disturbs the air and prevents the
forming Of hail.
In Windich Felstritz, In styria, Mayor
Stiger has taken the greatest interest in
these experiments. and as early as 1897 he
induced the community to establish thirty
six firing stations. Since that time windich
Felstritz has not seen hail, although many
disastrous hailstorms have occurred in the
adjoining districts.
The Italians have established more than
1000 firing stations in the provinces bor-
dering upon Austria. The king Of Italy
spent a week last summer. observing the
effects.
