One of the best Sunday School Con.
ventions ever held 10 Sheridan township

east Of the city last Sunday. 4 large
crowd was on hand to enjoy the occasion
and in the afternoon the crowd was so
large that many could not get in the
building.
The convention began at 10 O'Clock in
the morning with song service led 10y
Mr.. Thomas. This was followed 10y the
study OF the days Sunday School lesson
in charge Of II. o. Earl, superintendent
Of the Zicn School
Then came interesting exercises by the
two primary classes OF the Zion School.
This consisted OF recitations, Dialogues
and songs and the little folks did their
parts exceedingly we'll,

life.
In the absence Of Judge H. f Bright,
of Carthage who was on the program,
n. A. Maekey of this city and Mr.
Williams took up the time allotted to
him and each gave excellent talks. Mr.
Maokey's central thought was "men,
not things" and impressed the young
people with the thought that being men
and being women was tho most import
ant thing in life. "Hou caonot all he
presidents and presidents wives" said
he, "but you eau be meu aud women"
Mr. Williams made an eloquent plea
for the "Boy in the Sunday School -
