County Convention.

The sixteenth annual convention of
the County Sunday school Association
which was held In St. Clair last Thurs
day and Friday was very successful
meeting both In point OF the large
number present and the most excellent
addresses given, discussion of which
brought forth many fruitful theories,
practices and experiences.
The subjects OF some of the papers
read were:--"Decision Day In Sunday
school Work.; "How TO Get and Keep
Young Men ina Bible Class; "rrimary
Work.; "The Parents Part; "The
Teachers Part" and others, all calling
out thoughts aud methods of Sunday
school work which is very helpful TO
the worker. Mrs. + A. Griswold, of
Yale, president nf this district. gave an
able paper on "The Teachers Prepara-
ton which embodied some new aud
good thoughts.
In the reports word of praise was
given to this district as having the
largest percentage of enrolled Sunday
school scholars. Yale has enrolled in
all her Sunday schools just about as
many scholars as there are pupils at
tending the public schools, which Ger.
tAinly j. a good showing.
These meetings Of the workers in
the Yale sunday school held are
worth much and should receive
more interest. Exchanging IDEAS, the
0ries and experiences and putting such
of them into practice as we can, will
ofttimes be OF much benefit and help
IN our own methods. Delegates to the
number OF l65 were present at this
meeting In st. lair. The following
officers were elected
