The Sunday School Convention.

To the often times weary, discouraged
Sunday school worker the Sunday school
convention Is thoroughly enjoyed and
appreciated, for here perplexing prob
lens are brought and discussed and help
received. The annual convention of Ell
bert county held last Friday was enjoy
ed by all present. Mrs. Walker and
Rev. Mr.. Carman were present, Miss
Buchanan, new worker from Indiana,
Just over three weeks" she said accom-
panied the state workers. She has de-
lightful winsome personality and is a
welcome addition to the force of chris
tian workers in this state. How much
these consecrated christian workers are
doing fof the spiritual nplift and better
ment of the boys and girls, men and
women in Colorado, none can tell.
The program as published was carried
out. Miss Buchanan handled the per
picking boy problem in very original
and happy manner. In the evening Mrs.
Walker spoke on World Wide Sunday
School Progress, illustrating the same
with curios from the Orient. As re-
suit Of the Worlds convention having
been held in Jerusalem the work has
been advanced % years, the ignorance
and superstition of the Orientals is slow
ly but surely being overcome by the
light of the gospel. 1t is great treat to
be permitted to hear Mrs. Walker as she
speaks of her pilgrimage to the land of
the Book, and to see the curios which
she brought back. We have reason to
feel proud that we have such earnest
christian leaders, for through their ef
forts Colorado occupies first place as to
progress and methods used, even out
ranking the cultured effete East, SO we
may well take heart of hope and con
tinue to wrestle with the questions that
perplex us until we work them out to a
happy solution.
The following constitute the county
association officers for the ensuing year:
President, J. A. Gear; vice president,
james Cole; secretary, +. w. Schenk;
treasurer, DIR. Wilmer Culver; superin-
tendent normal department, j W. Press
ly; superintendent home department,
Mrs. W. l.. Potter; superintendent mes
senger department, G. Albert Zimmer-
man; superintendent primary, Miss Lucy
Corlew
Owing to other demands upon their
time and strength, and ill health, the
former treasurer and secretary, Mrs.
Moulton and ,drs Matthews, declined to
accept the offices for another year.
The following resolutions were passed
by standing vote:
Resolved, that we, the undersigned, in
behalf of the Elbert County Sunday
School Association tender our appreci-
ative thanks to Rev. Carman, Mrs. Walk
er, Miss Buchanan and others for their
help in the program, to the pastors and
other officers for their efficient service in
arranging for this convention, and to
the people of Elbert for the hospitality
of their homes and the use Of their
church. We appreciate the faithful
work of the county officers and especial
" commend the splendid work of Mrs.
Matthews; and,
Whereas, the schools of Elbert county
are growing in their influence and eff
cheney, therefore, be it
Resolved, that all christian people of
this county give their heartiest co-opera-
ton to the county and state association
and that we work more earnestly for the
better instruction and training of boys
and girls in christian services.
