The adoption of the resolutions offered inaugurated a movement that has been pending In the minds of the most prominent of Sunday School workers In the State for some time. but which were probably hastened by the dinner rendered to Booker Washington by John Wanna maker in Saratoga last Saturday.
 These resolutions have been placed In the hands of the delegates of this county who have been elected to the State Convention and when that con- vention meets they will urge that body to adopt them as a whole. These res- o1t1tions which received the unanimous vote of the Dallas County Sunday School Association are as follows:
