and the experience Of one man ]
shall never forget. While on his
way to the convention lie was
talking to n man of Jesus and His
love, and ere he reached Marietta,
this man by the help of our loving
Father, had the Joy of bringing
this friend to Jesus.
At 30 half hour Of specia!
prayer service was held in the
Baptist church by Rev. r. A.
Hadden, of Columbus. He took
up the word ask, and from memo
rv gave us one verse after another
to read which contained the word
ask. He very strongly emphasized
the Importance of our committing
Bible veroes to memory.
| At nine o'clock we went to the
auditorium song service was led
by Professor Excel, after which
the roll call of counties; out of the
S8 counties in the State 60 were
given banners; four were not rep
resented, and three of these at
least would have been banner
counties, but failed to have dele
gate; they had met all other re-
quirements. / am glad to say
Hooking is banner county. Sew
eral of the counties have paid a
year in advance, and l trust and
pray Hooking can do the same this
coming year.
After the roll call and report on
1t by Secretary Clarke an inspir-
ing climax was precipitated by
Professor Excel, who secured one
of the flags and started singing
"Colum bia, the Gem of the Ocean"
The entire audience was on it's
feet, waving the banners, and
singing with tremendous feeling,
as were those on the stage.
Rev. II. A. Bowling gave good
report of his years Hand to Hand
work in the Townships; he has
been very faithful, loyal worker.
Mrs. Curtiss gave an encourag-
ing report of the Home Depart
ment work of the past year. 1t is
growing very rapidly and the
amount of good which it has ac-
complished can never be told, and
only when we reach our home be-
yond the river will we know of all
the good this department of work
has accomplished. Mrs. Curtiss
urges that we write her and tell of
our efforts and successes in the
work, for it is not only help to
her but furnishes material for her
work.
Miss Ewalt read paper on the
development in Primary and Jun
ior work; this too is growing.
After her paper was read DIR.
Clark spoke very nicely of her
work and that she will not be with
us this next year, as she goes east
to take up work there. He spoke
of her faithfulness in the very be-
ginning of her work; how step by
step from Township Secretary to
County Secretary, and thus when
they were in need of Secretary
for the State Primary work, they
felt she was competent for the
place, neither have they been dis
appointed in her.
Mr.. Honline, Teacher Training
Secretary, gave an encouraging re-
port of the work; this has also
been dong grand work.
The Forward Movement was
then spoken of and call for
pledges of $4,000 was asked for
and in very short time they re-
ceived more than the $4,000, for
which they were. very thankful.
At 80 praise and song service
was led by Professor Excel; l
wish could bring to you the joy
and inspiration of these services.
! do not now recall who gave the
following touching illustration of
songs and how and under what
conditions they very often were
written.
Mr.. Spaiiord, his wife and four
children, were on the ocean in a
storm, and when she knew the
vessel was sinking she prayed as
