Much interest was manifested In
the session Of the Oconee County In
terdenominational Sunday School
Association, held here last Thursday
and Friday. The Sunday school
spirit took possession of the town for
couple OF days, and all lovers of
this department of the Lords work
were benefited and edited There
| was large attendance of visitors
| and representatives from all parts
of the county. We would be glad to
| take up the topics discussed, thread
by thread, and comment on the same,
but the public had the benefit Of the
! printed program and there was such
| a slight variation that we took no
notes of the proceedings with that
end in view. All the ministers and
laymen who were assigned parts on
the program as published in The Cou-
rier were present and the audiences
were thrilled with enthusiasm as
they listened to the able lectures rel
ative to Sunday school work. The
reports from the various schools rep

follows: Rev. j. r. Moore, president;
| Rev. j. G. Yongue, vice president;
DR.. j. III. Burgess, secretary; Miss

Rev. j. l.. Singleton, treasurer; home
department., A. p. Brown; primary
department., Mrs. j. N. Herndon;
adult, K. w. Marett; executive com
mittee, chairman at large, T. Peden
Anderson. The retiring president,
Prof. Thos. w. Keitt, Of Clemson Col
lege, is consecrated Christian gem

presiding officer. Coming a little
closer home, we would say that Dr..
Jos. H. Burgess, the secretary, has

pushing forward the interests OF the
association, and his work is appre-
ciated. Coming still closer home,
we would not fail to mention that r..
Peden Anderson, the chairman. is
full of the Sunday school spirit, and
the success of the session held here
last week was in a large measure
due to him.
