Burnt Cabins on last Tuesday
and Wednesday June 11th and
10Th. In spite of the most dis
couraglng weather couditions,the
delegates gathered from distant
parts of the county, in down
pour of rain, over roads of the
worst character imaginable. The
hospitality of the good people of
the village and vicinity was most
soothing to the nerves after a
trip through unfathomable mud
and deeper "chucks" and sloughs.
The sessions of Tuesday were
held in the Nj E. church, those of
Wednesday IN the Presbyterian,
and were conducted by Mr.. e. II.
Kirk, president of the Associa'
ton. Valuable aid was gwen by
the several pastors of the local
churches. Rev. G. f. Irwin, the
State worker who made q tour of
the county in April with Miss
Baumgardner, and made such a
favorable impression on Sunday
School workers, was present and
added much ir terest to- the ses
slons by his practical and insplr.
ing suggestions toward better
and more tactful work with the
young. Mrs. Irwin accompanied

ed by the local choirs showed
much talent and careful p' epara-
ton, and was a mental uplift dur

weather.

parents may not be in intimate
relation with any church. Claim

of the call rung by these earnest
young lady workers
Mrs. Charles b. Stevens of Nc
Connellsburg, gave one of the
best addresses of the Convention
on Home Department Work and

Rev. Daniels address on Ten
