SUCCESSFUL MEETINGS
Report of Sessions Of Kandiyohi
County S. S. Convention as
Given by Secretary.
The Kandiyohi County Association
held an unusually successful and in
teresting convention last Friday and
Saturday.
We had with US two state workers,
who not only understand every par,
OF the Sunday School work, but are
thoroly consecrated to it. I refer to
Mr.. Orchard of Fargo, and Mrs. Ho.
bart of Minneapolis.
The county had not been regularly
organized for Sunday School work
until at the close of the SATURDAY.
morning session, 50 this convention
was the result of the work of q com.
mittee appointed last fall, of which
H. E. Crawford was chairman; acting
In this capacity, Mr.. Crawford called
the first session to order Friday at
2:30 p. m. J. T. Otos led the song
service, after which two excellent pa
pers were read under the subject,
HHome Inf1uences.'
Mrs. Fouts of Ray mond gave one on
"Parental Obstruction" and l wish
more parents could have heard it, es-
pecially fathers; but some way that is
q class OF people that ia very hard to
find in Sunday School convention,
and she made it forcible that it is hard
to find them in the Sunday School
even, and yet they expect their boys
to 60.
Mrs. King of Priam then followed
with an equally good paper on "Home
Study"
She thought that If the lesson was
made more OF in the home that chill
dren would not come to the Sunday
School as poorly prepared es they do;
that Bible stories should be read in
the home and so interest the child in
the work OF the lesson.
Mr.. Orchard then took up "Organ-
ization for Eyangelization." The two
agencies are: The denomina alton al
agencies and the American Sunday
School Union.
The State Association is inter-de-
nominational. he said, "That any
church living to itself Will de-" 80
they have made this work interdenom-
national, and the object is to reach
the individual pupil. ..!;zss..sz ~ ,:z : =
* The state organization is to
reach every county. Mr. Orchard
said that two years ago there were on.
ly is counties in the state ORGANIZED, ,
now there are "a out of the S8 counties.
A goodly increase.
2. The county organization is to
reach every school.
3. The individual school to reach
every boy ard girl and win them for
Christ. Seventy five thousand chill
dren of Minnesota now out of the Sun
doy School. Surely 'the harvest is
great and the laborers are few"
Mrs. Hobart now took up primary
work in very helpful way to both
country and city teachers and schools.
She gave as her experience that the
country and city primary classes can
be conducted in much the same way
with the use of the screen where there
is no separate room; as it is the sight
that attr acts the adults rather than
the sound. If primary teachers will
teach one truth week it is enough.
Use stories, songs, illustrations and
every thing possible to impress this
truth.
After q song the convention ad-
journed until 1880 in the evening.
At 1880 p. m. the convention came
to order with Mr.. W. A. Lindquist
leading the song service.
The address of the evening was
given by Mr.. Orchard. The subject,
''Parents as Soul Winners'' was
handled in very forcible and help
full manner. He deplored the fact of
the parents leaving to the Sunday
School what they should do them.
selves, namely: leading their child to
Christ. he said also that every
father and mother should make home

keep their boys of Of the streets nights
without the use of the curfew bell.
The plea was made for fathers to
give up more of their time to their
children and when at home be pleas
ant and loving, and the mothers to
give up &c me of their club work and
be ct home with the children. In fact
make home the sweetest spot on earth.
Discourage the use of profanity, it
is an awful step downward when the
boy utters an oath. The fathers con-

points made by the speaker. -
