a DECIDED SUCCESS
Is THE CONVENTION

Those who have in charge the
State Sunday School convention for
the Western Slope surely could not
wish for more successful session of
the convention than that which is now
taking place in Grand Junction.
Ihat the meeting has been a sue
cess IN every way there can be no
doubt The attendance could not be
better, the programs could hardly be
improved upon and the interest mani
rested by those who participate in
the programs and those who attend
the session is truly remarkable.
Every session held so far has been
largely attended. The morning pro
gram of yesterday, as stated last
night IN the Sentinel, was enjoyed by
several hundred people.
me praise services conducted by
Prof Eichhorn yesterday afternoon
were naturally among the most de-
lightful portions of the well arrang-
ed program. The big chorus did ex-
eellent work. every selection was well
rendered Prof. Elchhorn is GER
tainly great musician and he gets
greater every time we hear him
Again yesterday afternoon Prof.
Eichhorn delivered an address on
Problem of Improving the Music"
The many fine thoughts that were
brought out and the numerous ways
in which the music can be improved
and wonderfully improved at that,
made up an address equally as in
teresting and impressive as the one
delivered by the professor on Tues
day evening.
Mrs. J. A. Walker, one of the most
noted Sunday school workers in this
section of the west, held the atten-
ton of the big audience for nearly
an hour in her discussion of 1.-The
Problems Peculiar to the elementary
Grades" This was an instructive
address, full of good things for the
Sunday school teachers in partieu-
lar.
At four o'clock Mrs. Walker ad-
dressed a large gathering of boys and
girls. She took for her subject 1.-THE
Boys and Girls of Bible Lands" and
her talk was illustrated with many
curios from those old countries by
Mrs. Walker whe has travelled ex-
tensively in the Holy land. II is need
less to say that the young people en-
joyed Mrs. Walkers splendid talk. II
was entertaining throughout and'
highly instructive. She told of the
manner in which the children of the
Bible lands were reared, their schoo.-
ing and their home life. The lady
has a great collection of curios and
their exhibition proved of great in
terest not only to the children but
to the grown people as we'll Mrs.
Walker is a delightful speaker and
knows well how to hold the atten-
ton of the children.
The evening session was opened at
half past seven O'Clock and by that
hour the church was crowded and
many seats liz ;he Sunday school
room were occupied.
Again the chorus did good work.
There were more voices in the chorus
at this session than at any previous
session.
After devotional services and a
few preliminary remarks, the first
address of the evening was deliver
ed by Mrs. j. A. Walker who spoke
upon 1.-The Worlds Sunday School
Convention and Its Sequel" She ex
planned the workings of the great
organization and then told of the
meeting of the great convention in
Jerusalem last year which she at
tended. Her account of this world
wide gathering of Sunday school peo-
pie was intensely interesting. Last
summer the convention was held at
Toronto, Canada and a great rally
of the delegates who attended the
convention in Jerusalem was held
while the convention was in session
and Mrs. Walker states that over
26O Sunday school workers who had
been together in Jerusalem met
again at this rally in Toronto. The
lady held the close attention of her
audience for nearly forty minutes
and the address was one or the very
best of the convention.
Rev. ]. c. Carman, state super
intendent. spoke upon sunday
School Progress in Colorado. That
wonderful progress is being MADE Dy
the Sunday schools of Colorado was
clearly demonstrated by Mr.. Carman.
