children of his former wife there
was trouble. Mr. Marsh Is a Con-

Mrs. Marsh wished otherwise and
saw In Christian Science the only
true light. According to Mr.. Marsh
his wife held contrary views on al
most everything that came up for
discussion. She was SO bad. he said,
that at one time he contemplated sui

Communication.
Mr.. EDIToR:

vi Ii. Ok.
| desire to call the attention OF
your readers to movement on
foot among some of the Sunday
School workers of Sullivan County
to maintain and develope interest in
Sunday School work.
At present the proposal is to hold
a number of local or district conven-
tion or rallies in different parts of the
county. The object of these is fo
discuss methods of teaching the bible
to the young, middle aged and old
and also lay plans for the advance
ment of the best interest of all who
come under the influence of the Sun
day School. ! believe that good
singing and cheerful social intercours
will characterize these gatherings.
Good things should not be kept in a
corner. Good people should not inn
agine that the Bible and its teaching
is of interest to them alone. Christ
came i'm contact with all classes of
society. Why should his followers
have a corner in religion. The exalt-
ed religious principles of our fore
fathers are now regarded by both
saint and sinner as the priceless her
itage of the nation. We can now
see errors in their religious beliefs
and in their daily practices but un-
derneath all we recognize high aims.
In order to perpetuate these princi-
pies it is necessary that the young
trained to believe that good character
is a higher consideration than either
wealth or fame.
The Sunday School aims to do this
class of work. Let the citizens of
whatever faith give their aid
and approval to the Sunday School
workers. The times and places for
holding these conventions will be an
nounced locally and likely through
the press. A cordial invitation to
attend is extended to all who are in
terested in this work and to the gen.
eral public. Ifpresent plans are carri-
ed into effect, conventions will be
held beginning on Friday Of next
week June 14th, at Hillsgrove
in the afternoon and evening and on
Wednesday and Thursday following
in Elkland and Forks twps.
Yours truly,
VERNON HULL, Vice Pres.
Sullivan Co. Sunday School Associ-
alton.
