Prior to the vote the great tension had

spoken by partlsans of either side.
The coalition was managed by Sen
ators McCarren and Grady on the DEM
ocratic side and Raines for the Repub-

publican contingent in favor of the gov

opposing Republicans showed veno--

ator Raines said that II the governor

coerce the legislature he could see the
end of Governor Hughes, while Senator
Armstrong deliberately notified the
Ranes following that If they persisted
In crucifying the governor they would

that IL the legislature was to be the

espousal of a measure which would
endanger the reelection of many of his
opponents.

Rush Twp. Sunday School Conven-

Rush Twp Sunday School Conven-
The Rush Township Sunday school
Association held a convention Sunday
at the Goss church, which was very
well attended and was exceedingly
helpful in the discussion of practical
subjects. The afternoon session was
presided over by B. S. Stratton, vice
president of the county organization.
The church was filled, and the interest
was keen. M. H. Reynolds, after a
song service in opening, spoke on the
theme, Building, What and How?"
The speaker called especial attention to
the work of the Sunday school as an
agency in the building of character,
and the Sunday school association as
an organization that unites the forces
of the different denominations and
makes their work more effective.
d. A. Reagh spoke earnestly of the
movement to encourage the building
up of adult classes in the schools,
movement that has accomplished so
much in the state and country. The
adults are needed in the Sunday
schools not only for the good that may
be done them, but for their influence
on the younger classes.
Mrs. Minnie Bunting read an ex-
celent paper on "The Teachers Mid
Week Work. THE fact was emphasized
that the teacher has an important duty
effort is not confined to the school
hour.
Rev. Thomas fowler gave a very in
structive address on How To Study
the Bible" Rev. fowler is a careful
and thorough bible student, and made
an address that was replete with good
thoughts and helpful suggestions. He
very strongly advocates more care
ful attention to the Word in the con-
duct of the Sunday school.
The evening session was not as
large as in the afternoon, owing to
the rain that came up during the early
evening. However, the church was
two-thirds full, and all were interested
and enjoyed the session, which was
presided over by the county president.
a spirited song service opened the
session, after which Rev. Frederick,
Coates, having first conducted devo-
tional exercises, spoke very earnestly
on the subject, "The True Measure of
Success in Sunday School Work" 1t
is not numbers, nor enthusiasm, nor
equipment, but the effect the school
has on the hearts and lives of the
members of the school. He urged a
deeper conservation to the work.
Brief remarks were made byWillis

work in the four northwest townships
