dlOnS temperance lHeS dS lAuSA do ouy
county in the state. AS one wis sees
good deal of the physical deterioration
and moral degradation that intemperance
causes, would most heartily say, push
the work of temperance instruction
through the agency of the sSunday School
as we'll as by every other honorable
means, AS for the other departments I
would put it all in one sentence. Get the
children into the Sunday School and then
train them up till they become efficient,
intelligent workers and teachers of the
Word.
The Lyceum plan should be extended
till all the most efficient workers in the
county are enlisted, and their worth real
lzed and utilized by the Sunday Schools
of the county Thus specialists are de-
veloped in the different lines of Sunday
School work and the districts and local
Sunday Schools get .the benefit of their
experience. In short, advance until the
county becomes a banner county in fact
as we'll as in name.
Prof. Hoffman in "What We've Had
and What We've Done'' reviewed the
work of the past year in concise manner.
after which Prof. w. c. Van Ness con-
Quoted Round Table, giving and elicit
ing some excellent suggestions on the
work.

sole, after which Prof. Handy addressed
the convention on Thirty Minutes a
Week.

song service. led by the chorus. Prayer

tin and Leon Cassaday gave an excel
lently rendered duet. The first address
was by Rev. T. F. Stone, of Deloit, which
was a master effort. After an anthem by
tn chorus Prof. Handy gave the closing
address. The finance committee raised
over $3e, 100 which will go coward the ex-
penses of the coming years work.
The convention owes much to Prof.
Handy, the State Worker, for the success
and interest of the convention. His re-
marks were very pertinent and his way of
illustrating may we'll be emu'ated by all
our workers in the high art of soul-saving.
