A GREAT SUCCESS.

|
The annual State Sunday School Con.
vention which was held in Pontiac last
week, gave marked evidence of increas-
ing interest in this important work on
the part of the nearly 700 delegates en-
rolled. 1t is safe to say that the dele
gates all returned home full of praise
for this fine convention with its en-.
couraging reports and prosperous out
look for the future.
| The convention was an enthusiastic
one, and at the same time, was what
many termed a genuine spiritual uplift
to the delegates. Even the liberal Civ
ing to make up deficit of $l041, which
had accumulated during the past three
years by counties neglecting to pay all
that they had pledged, and also provide
for the $4,000 budget for next year, was
all done in the most gratifying spirit
The deficit was raised and $4,000 of
the budget subscribed. The balance
must be made up by the counties not
represented, and by personal gifts from
friends of the cause throughout the
state.
This money, as was stated by one of
the speakers, is only about the same
amount that an average sized church
expends, yet it is safe to say accomp-
fishes vastly more good for the cause
OF Christ, than the same amount ex-
pended in any other way.
The only regular salaried officer at
present, is the general secretary, Alfred
Day, who leads in the heroic effort to
keep up healthy, active county associa
tons, which in turn develop the work
still farther through township associa-
tons. In this plan, all the Sunday
school people of the state should Co
operate for mutual improvement along
Sunday school lines.
In this convention. the speakers from
the state were ably supported by two
leading international speakers, Marion
Lawrence of Toledo, and w. G. Pearce
of Chicago. Also Miss FINE Murfree
Burton, of Louisville, KY, a primary
specialist, and Mrs. Chas. Craig, of IL
linOis, Home Department Superintend-
ent. Tullar and Meredith, of New
York, assisted by local choir, led the
singing, with enthusiasm.
Rev. b. McDermand, of ST. Johns,
was elected president, and E. X. War
rem, Three Oaks, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee. The executive
committee is the controlling power of
the association. 1t is composed of 81
members, chosen from all denomina-
tions whose term of office expire every
third year, seven being elected each
year.

enrolment showed Oakland 100; Wayne

CONDENSED STORIES
Why Lord Salisbury Wished the Sign.
board Removed.

The chateau Of Lord Salisbury
was at Beaulieu, France, and that he
might have peace and rest there he
once made quaint request of the
mayor of Nillefranche. The house
stood on high, well wooded ground
and was approached by carriage
from the old Corniche road. The
inaccessibility Of the position and
consequent quiet and peace pleased
the premier greatly. The gardens
were so large and the gate kept by
a Ccrbcrus so stern that the most
enterprising British or American
tourist found little to repay his curl
osity after his climb. When Lord
Salisbury first took possession of La
Bastide the mayor of Villcfranche,
NJ Polonais, called upon him to bid
him welcome and Hospitality assured
him that any wish his lordship
might express would, if possible, be
instantly gratiiied by himself and
his councillors
"Then will take you at your
word,' replied the premier 81 wish
much that the new signboard you
have put up on the road leading
here marked avenue Salisbury be
taken away"
"But we put it up" stammered
the mayor, ''in order to let people
find their way to your villa"

"a Scot" he said, "was unhappy
because he had lost his money. He
borrowed a loaded gun and with a
desperate look started toward dis
NAL fen. The owner of the gun, a
little anxious, bawled after him to
know if he was going to commit
