President BuelPs Address.
Before the presentation Of the medals
President Buell. made an address con-
graduating the clubs on their success
and giving a short resume of the sea
son. He said in part:
Our league was organized with seven
Sunday schools represented, and we
have had a most successful season. al
though one Of our teams. after bowling
about cne-haf OF It's scheduled games
grew weary in well doing and fell by
: the wayside.
THE season ended with the team rep
| resenting the Union Methodist Sunday
school at the top OF the list; Mt. Pleas
ant Congregational, second; Foundry
Methodist was third. Right here I de-
sire 10 say, without wishing TO detraci
in any measure from the glory OF the
victcrs. that IL IS comparatively easy 70
? keep together a winning team, but when
= comes to a team that loses games
with great consistency and regularity
only winning about one game in four
auc yet shows up with its full com
} plement Of eligible players every night
! that the team IS scheduled to bowl
thai team deserves q great deal o;
credit. and 1 can hardly express toe
strongly my admiration for the spirit
of loyalty to its Sunday school and
10 the league IN so faithfully carrying
out its part OF the schedule. Such Z
team was the one representing the
Western Presbyterian Sunday school II
our league, and they certainly set u!
an example in this respect which al
of us may well profit by
