The County Sunday School conven-
tiun held in Denison last Friday and
Saturday was record breaker in many
ways. On Saturday, despite the busy
day and threatening weather, good au-
diences attended the sessions, while on
Sunday the attendance was such as to
prove without doubt the true Sunday
School spirit is by no means dead in
our city. Sunday evening the congre-
cation just filled the church, and there
was no reason or cause for complaint
of any kind.
West Side and Arion had the banner
delegations here from abroad.
The program, with but few changes,
was given as printed last week.
The reports of the county officers
showed Sunday School affairs in very
good shape in Crawford, with much
improvement over last year. era Word

school county as the resolutions will
show. BY next year the new officers
hope and intend that it shall be ban.

secretary showed thirty-three schools
in the county with over 300 teachers
and officer and with about 1900 pu-
pills. The finances OF our association

besides other expenses and still have
about 1924 in the treasury for the carry.
