FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Good Thoughts Brought Out at Shia-
wassee Township Convention.

| The Sunday schools of Shiawassee
township held convention in the M. E.
church at Newburg, Sunday, July Sd.
j. G. Curtis, president of the southeast
four townships, presided over the con-
vention. AT the opening of the first
session Rev. Wildwood, of Bancroft,
conducted the devotional service, which
was spiritual uplifting to those pres
emit.
What can be done to increase the in
terest of the Sunday schooly" was the
title of paper read by Simeon Banks.
His thought was that the whole family
should be interested in the work, If
parents were truly interested, it was
easy for the teacher to get and keep the
child interested. The discussion brought
out these points: A teacher should be-
come personally acquainted with each
member of his class; the lesson should
be studied around the family altar.
The next topic, rs the township con-
vention any benefit to the Sunday
school?" was ably discussed, the con-
census of opinion being that an impetus
for more efficient work was gotten from
the interchange of thought at these
gatherings that was not received from
any other source.
Mrs Geo. Hall, of Shiawassee, gave
an excellent paper on the subject: 'Is
the Sunday school necessity2" Her
thought was that the Sunday school is
necessary to good government. 1t
would be better for our nation if the
bible was made one of the text books in
our secular schools.
The evening session was given into
the hands of Rev. Rowland, of Vernon.
The topic assigned him was What re-
lation does the Sunday school bear to
the church" He said the Sunday
school is the church. or should be, as
every church member should be in the
Sunday school. 1t was as much church
as the prayer meetings, covenant meet
ing or quarterly meeting, and any
church that made the Sunday school a
side issue lost its spirituality and power.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are:
President-Simeon Banks.
Vice President-Thomas Lemon.
Secretary-Mr. Crane.

In this age of misleading and insin'
cere advertising it is refreshing to read
as clear and plain proposition as that
announcement by the Barry Muskegon
Line Steamers through the medium of
a circular issued by that company and
which has just come to our hands.
This announces series of excursions
to the worlds fair. 1t tells in plain
words exactly what they will do, when
they will do it, and what it will cost.
And when we consider it thoroughly il
seems marvel that they can give so
much for so little.
These excursions are announced 10
leave Muskegon, Grand Haven and
Grand Rapids on the evenings of Tues
day July Goth, Aug. 2, Aug. 8, Aug. 16,
Aug. 23rd, and Aug. Both. The tickets
are good for return passage. to Chicago
within seven days from date of starting
on tickets sold at Muskegon and Grand
Haven. Stop over in Chicago on return
passage is allowed, to suit your pleasure.
The tickets include steamship and
railway transportation to the Worlds
Fair and return, state room on steamer
reclining chair cars on trains between
Chicago and st Louis First-class hotel

joining grounds. Admission to the Fair
Grounds every day. Admission to the
best attractions on the pike. Ride on
Intramural railway, and many other
features that all combine to make these
trips delightful, satisfying, educating
weeks experience and one to be always
remembered with the greatest of pleas
ure. How the company can do all this
for the small sum of $31.55 is a mystery
that we have been unable to solve. But
when the Barry Muskegon Line say
they will do thing, they do it, and we
confidently predict that these excursions
will prove the most popular they have
ever undertaken.
To all who are contemplating trip
to the Worlds Fair we would suggest
that they call on, or send to any agent
of the Barry Muskegon Line and secure
a copy of the circular we have received,
and which gives all the information in
detail.
