SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
ERS' CONFERENCE.
Conference Well Attended and
the Results Pleasing -Interest
In Sunday School Work.

Those directly interested in the
Sunday School Workers Confer
ence which was held here in the
First Baptist church last Wed
nesday and Thursday are well
pleased with the results. The
attendance was large, consider
ing that this is a busy time for
the farmers. From first to last
there were about thirty Sunday
schools represented. 1t was evil
dent that there is a greater and
more general interest in Sunday
school work than ever before,
and the conference will, unques.
tionably, increase the interest
and help to make the Sunday
school still greater power for
good.
Mr.. E. L. Middleton, Sunday
school secretary of the Baptist
State Convention, conducted the
conference and did it admirably.
He is proving himself to be a
Sunday school specialist who
knows how to instruct and in
spire others to engage in the
work. His addresses were very
helpful and greatly enjoyed.
Rev; T. w. Chambliss, pastor of
the First Baptist church, Wades-
boro, was present on Thursday
and delivered an address on "The
10Th Century Sunday School,"
which added to the interest of
the conference. Several minis
tiers of the Robson Association
were present and took part in
the discussions of the various
subjects. The pastors are real.
lzing more and more the impor-
lance and value of a live Sunday
school in each of their churches.
