Association.
The annual convention of the Win
field 'pisttict Sunday School Associa.
ton was held at the Hoult NJ. E. church
Saturday. and Sunday.
Many good addresses and talks were
given by the different Sunday school
workers Of the district, which space

ularly good things furnished us by WIS.,
itors from other districts. Saturday
being mainly business session not
a great deal Of time was given to adj
dresses Int we must note a specially
fine talk given the convention in the
afternoon by Mrs. R. T. Maniey, Of
Fairmont, on the topic-"How to Re
celye New Members Into the Sunday

very entertaining talk especially to
theh children.
In the evening the executive officers
were elected for the ensuing year as
follows: President, Jacob Carpenter
vice president, Jas. D, Bowman; secre
tary and treasurer Miss sophroni'
Bunner.
Rev. H. X. Ash and Miss Ruth Prick
EFT, the retiring president and secre
tary, have held their respective posi-
lions for three years and the district
association should and does, we are
sure, appreciate their valued services
given freely without money and with
out nrice. out Of love for the Masters
cause. During the three years of bill
incumbency Mr.. Ash has built up the
association in a wonderful degree ant
his services will be greatly missed.
Mr.. Carpenter, the new president
however, is a devoted Sunday schoo
worker and It is hoped and believed
that the grand work will be continued
as well under the new officers as thu
old.
