OTHER FINE TALKS

and last days session of the Jeffer- son County Sunday School Associa- tion's annual convention, held at the Christian church in this city, was the paper presented by Mrs. V. s. Mcclellan, of this city, one of the most enthusiastic Sunday School workers in this state. Mrs. McC!el- Ian took for her theme Our Boys in the Sunday School" The paper is published in this issue.
 Thursdays sesion was interesting to degree and the delegates and spectators present were highly edi- fled with we'll prepared papers and timely talks throughout the pro- ceedings. As on the first day, Cap tain N T. Roberts, the president of the county association, presided.
 Mrs. $. E. Cockrill of the State Home Department, Little Rock, de- livered an instructive and important Study i'll the Home. Reverend J. D. Hammond, of England, Ark, fol- lowed her in an interesting talk, in which he told of his recent trip to the Holy Land.
