Gospel Meeting Held.

Nothing but words of praise could be
heard about the headquarters OF the
State Sunday school convention, just
preceding and after the adjournment

In In which the fortythird annual
session had been entertained. and the
unqualified success Of the convention.
Officers and delegates alike were loud
In their expressions of satisfaction
over the results of the convention.
| which have proved most helpful to all
Sunday school workers who have been
in attendance.
The registration headquarters show
that little better than 600 delegates
from outside points were in attendance
during the convention. and there were
doubtless upwards OF 100 visitors from
the city present at each session. Enter
tainment was provided for aid delegates
from distance who made application
and furnished their credentials. and the
entertainment committee has not had q
breathing spell since the convention
began on Monday until adjournment
was taken Wednesday afternoon.
At registration and entertainment
headquarters the committees expressed
themselves as being extremely grateful
to the many Marshalltown people who
opened their homes for entertainment;
to A. E. Wilbur & Sons, for the use OF
chairs and tables for the committees
use: to the Marshall Telephone COM
pany for telephone service during the
convention; apd to the T.-R for the
publicity given the entertainment
phase Of the convention.
Corksy Re- Elected President.
AS forecasted "Wednesday evening
by the T.-R.. Rev. j. s. Corkey, pastor
OF the Presbyterian church at Winter
set, was reelected president OF the
association for another year. s. w.
Cole, OF Detroit, Mich. was again
chosen as honorary vice president, and
A. f. N. Hambleton, OF Oskaloosa, and
C.. n. Roberts, of Jolley, were renamed
as first and second vice president. III.
NJ WINERY, cashier OF the Century
Savings bank OF Des Moines and q
brother OF E. w. WINERY. OF this city,
WIS elected treasurer to succeed ]. F.
Hardin, OF Eldora,
Fitch Has Made Good.
To the officers Of the association and
delegates alike the success of the Mar
shalltown convention Is doubly crafty
ing because of the fact that this is the
first convention held since the new
general field secretary. Rev. Frank r..
Fitch, Of Des Moines, has had charge
Of the Work. Ordinarily 1t might be
expected that the 1903 convention
would hardly be up to standard, but
instead OF falling below the standard
many OF the officers expressed the view
that advanced ground had been taken
in every movement.
For many years B. q. Mitchell. who
is now in Colorado. was state secre-
tary. He was very familiar with the
association, and when he resigned 1t
was a hard matter for successor to
step right into the place and take up
the numerous duties OF the state work
without any experience. This was done
by Rev. Frank F. Fitch, pastor Of the
Methodist church at st. James. Mimi,
ana he has only been in charge since
last October. The field worker is
largely instrumental In keeping up the
Interest in convention work, so that II
the Marshalltown convention has been
a big success, as is 50 generally de-
sclared, Mr.. Fitch 10 entitled to his full
share OF credit.
