Mt. Waldo Sunday School Association.

The Union Sunday school at Clark
Corner, North Prospect, most success
fully entertained the Mount Waldo Dis
trict Sunday School Association Thurs
| day, June 9th. 1t was the seventh an
nual convention of that body of live
Sunday school workers and the school
house began to fill at an early hour.
Showers threatened and occasionally
| did more; roads were bad by reason of
the rain of the previous night, yet rep
resentatives from Monroe, Winterport,
Frankfort, Stockton, Prospect, Sears
port and Belfast were not to be daunt-
| ed by minor obstacles. For did they
not know that there was to be some
thing doing at North Prospect that
day; and, incidentally, some knew and
others learned, that Clark's Corner is
| the most hospltable corner Of the earth
| and the ladies there are the best cooks
ever.
| The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. Belle J. Palmer Of Monroe and a
brief praise service followed, conducted
| by Rev. J. L. Corson of Stockton. Mrs
Everett Littlefeld gave very cordial
address of welcome on behalf Of the
! Clark's Corner school, which was re-
| sponded to by Mrs. Belle Palmer The
| minutes of the previous meeting and
| reports from the secretary and treasur-
| er followed. An able and interesting
paper on the subject, why are little
children so necessary to the Sunday
school, prepared and read by Mrs Liz
zie Lane of Prospect, was a pleasing
| feature of the forenoon session, and the
musical selections by the entertaining
school were much enjoyed. The topic,
How may we add to the interest of
our Sunday schools?" was thrown open
| for discussion and many helpful and
practical hints were listened to. The
roll call of schools shows good inter-
est in the work throughout the district
After the appointment of committees
an adjournment was taken for lunch
In about the twinkling Of an eye a
bountiful dinner appeared as by magic
| from some unknown and unguessed
| place of concealment. None of the
ladies there claim to be in league with
| the fairies, yet we are convinced that
some one must have waved a wand,
else where did that dinner-hot, savory
anddelicious-spring from? After lunch
the remaining moments of the inter-
mission were spent in social chat and
getting acquainted" and when next
we looked we rubbed our eyes, for be-
hold, table, dishes, food, had all vanish
ed as magically as they came! We did
not say anything, but we're thankful
that this uncanny feast had not vanish
ed just as we were sitting down to the
table. Evidently the fairy was too we'll
behaved to play tricks on us.
The afternoon session was opened by
a praise and promise service conducted
by DR.. E. H. Boyington Of Winterport.
Then followed discussion of the topic,
Relation of the Sunday school to edu-
cation" opened by DR.. =. H. Boying-
! ton, who spoke of the Relation of the
Sunday school to the art of teaching"
He was followed by Rev. J. L. Corson
of Stockton and Rev. Z. H. Mckinney
of Searsport who spoke of the Relation
of Sunday schools to the public school. Z"
Several selections were given by quar-
tette of young ladies of the Clark's Cor
ner school. The Round Table topic,
"The Sunday School Teacher" was dis
cussed by all and many helpful sugges-
tons were advanced. Indeed, one of
the most pleasing features Of the con-
vention was the spirit of freedom in
debate. After the election of the fol-
lowing officers the meeting adjourned
until evening: President, Rev. w. A.
Luce, Winterport; Vice President, Mrs
Belle J. Palmer, Monroe; Secretary and
Treasurer, DR.. E. H. Boyington, Win

Twombly, Monroe; Miss Ora Libby,
Stockton; Mrs. E. G. Berry, Stockton;
Mrs. o. S. Erskine, Winterport.
In the evening Rev. C. H. Mckinney
of Searsport, addressed the convention,
but the writer was unfortunately oblig-
ed to leave for home at the close of the
afternoon session and 80 missed what
was sure to be one Of the very best
features of day that had been crowd
