So nday School Convention at Graves Grove


Although they were little late in
starting the enthusiasm shown made up.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, 1. Y. Wright. After
| song, Rev. Vansburgh conducted the
devotional exercises. How to get child
rem interested in the Sunday school was
very beautifully explained by Miss Ag-
mes Baker. The methods she gave are
worth trial, they have been success
other places. Why not here?
Bro. Vansburgh then told us the duty
Of parents to the Sunday school. He
says they must go and take their child
rem. The question brought up much
discussion and it is hoped will do much
good.
Bro. Writes address was left until
after dinner as the time was getting late.
The kind people then showed as what
they could do toward refreshing the
mortal man, and we feel perfectly safe
in saying they can't be beat.
The meeting was called to order at
l:3O by song and prayer.
Bro. White then told us that all
church members were not a benefit to
the Sunday school, but they should be.
The subject brought up much discus
sion and many new thoughts were
brought out.
The solo, 'Sweet Will of God," by
Miss Agnes Baker was much appreci-
ated by all. She is certainly one of the
sweet singers of Israel.
Miss Emeline Hearn, superintendent
OF visitation, then presented the work
she expects to carry forth the coming
year. The visiting of every family in
the county. You will hear more about
this later. 1t is one of the ways to fill
the Masters command, $50 ye into all
the world"
The benefits of the Sunday school to
young men, by the county secretary,
brought out three points-educationa
benefit, social benefit and spiritual bene-
tit young men may get from the Sunday
school.
The relation of the Sunday school to
to the young convert was ably handled
by Rev. Hitch of Kiowa. He also gave
the relation of the young convert to the
Sunday school. He then surrendered
the platform to Rev. Fisher
Rev. Fisher spoke on the subject, The
Sunday School as Civic Power. He
presented the Sunday school as the right
arm of the church, or the church at
work. 1t is the church that has made
this great nation what it is, the greatest
power that ever graced the earth, and
its flag, Old Glory, the emblem of liberty
and justice. We would consider it
worth while to have been there to have
heard his address alone.
The songs of the day were we'll placed
to keep up the interest and rest the
crowd. The singers certainly did we'll,
and extra well considering the day. 1t
was very hard day on singers and
speakers, but all seemed to enjoy the
day. A collection of Sill was taken up,
and the meeting closed by singing, 'sGod
be with you till we meet again." It was
certainly day to be long remembered
by all present. God help the work.

Tor cattle stealing. Mr.. Derrick

that only Frank White was a mem

proved guilty they would be promp-

The Tick Of n Clock.

In a recent police court squabble over
a clock II man testified that he could
identify the timeplece In question by
the tick. This statement was received
with derision by most OF the courtroom
attaches, the magistrate included, but
later a matchmaker to whose attention
1t had been called declared that the
scoffers laughed before they knew
what they were laughing at.
"Of course you can tell a clock by
Its tick" he said. II don't mean that
every clock has an individual tick that
can be recognized by It's friends, but
many Of them have. and a parsou who
has owned a certain clock for a long
while and has studied its style and
mannerlsms can, II he has a good ear,
detect that particular tick among a
hundred. Many clocks that are appar-
emily made ON the same plan develop
peculiarities In their running gear.
Some canter along at an even pace,
others go by jerks and spurts. Some
are stately and solemn, others frisky
and gay. The ticking OF clocks varies,
too, In rhythm, pitch and dynamics.
With all these differences In tone is 1t
any wonder that a man who has meas
ured his life by one clock for several
years can swear even In court to It's
particular tickG"-New York Post.
