highly gratifying and encourag-
ing: Therefore
Resolved, That the Sunday
schools OF Marshall county, in
convention assembled, send out
through the Awakener a message
Of love, OF good cheer and OF fra
ternal salutations to all kindred
organizations throughout the
state.
Resolved, That we look out
upon the field of Sunday-school
endeavor with new hope and re-
newed zeal as a result of this
convention showing to us, as it
does, a growing interest in the
methods and system adopted by
the State Association, particular
ly i'll that OF the teaching train
ing department; that we recog-
nize the helpful value in the &C
cession to our ranks of new
workers from various parts of the
county, whose interest, ability
and consecrated lives are certain
to tell with power in the future
work of this association that we
hear with thankful delight of the
perfected organization and pro-
gressive work in several of our
townships, that come to us as a
spur to make each township more
nearly like the pattern set for
and required OF us by the State
association, and to place Mar
shall county in that enviable
place at the head of the column
in the roll of the counties of the
state.
Resolved, That in our pleasure
and qualification with the things
that we have seen and heard in
the busy hours of these sessions,
we would not take it that, now
that the convention is over and
our reports are made, we shall
find our seats and rest, but rath-
err that we shall take these things
as a breath out of heaven to re-
fresh us in the midst of service,
as the summer breeze, tanning
for a moment the face of the toll
er, that lends him new energy in
the work at his hand.
Resolved, That we receive
with growing appreciation the
teaching work Of our state Off
GERS, Mr.. Halpenny, and Mrs.
Baldwin that we recognize the
faithful effort and management,
the executive qualifications, the
persevering spirit of our county
officers, that have given to this
convention its splendid success.
