Beginning next Tuesday morning
ton OF ba.-->4. county Sunoas
schools will .~.4,eut in Bambero
The session ,,... be held at Trinity
Methodist Church, and will be in tie
mornings, afternoons, and evenings.
1t is expected that all delegates vii:
arrive in time for the first session,
which is 1920 o'clock, so that the
convention can get down to work at
once. Every session will be full OF
local churches has been around dur
ing the past week soliciting homes,
and it was gratifying that number
volunteered without being asked,
and in consequence there are plenty
OF homes. But the number of dele
gates is expected to reach up to the
high water mark in county conven-
tions and the committee hopes that
every home will be needed. The
Sunday school superintendent
throughout the county have begun
to show interest in the movement to
organize Bamberg county into an as
sociation county. A number have
not responded but it is not too late
even now. Let every school which
has not done 30 already, elect dele
gates next Sunday and If possible
forward the names 80 that they will
reach here by Monday afternoon; If
this is not possible, the delegates
should come anyway; there will be
homes provided for all who attend.
Each school should insist on its su-
perintendent being present at Bam-
berg.
The program has been voted to be
the best gotten out by any county
for a first convention, 80 says Mr.. j..
M. Way, the general secretary. Mr..
Way is man who knows what he is
talking about. This will be clearly
proven when he meets you face to
face next week. Mr.. Frank F. Will
den is the musical leader in two
large Sunday-schools in Columbia,
and is a leader of mems Bible class
in that city. He can sing and make
others sing. He can also make very
practical applications Of practical
subjects. An interesting feature Of
the program will be the paper Of
Miss Whilden on the cradle roll.
A letter was received last week
from Miss Steele, of Rock Hill, who
is the secretary of the secretary's as
sociation, and she says that banner
will be awarded at Rock Hill when the
State convention meets in that city
in1910, for the best report Of statis-
tics. What about Bamberg? We
have a small, compact county, can
we not have a similar organization?
At least we can have the compact
and thoroughly organized part, we
are not particular about the small
part, in fact we had rather not have
tion in q small county.
For the information of delegates
we will say that in case they arrive
Monday night, they will go to Mr..
w. D.. Rhoad's store, Mr.. Rhoad be-
ing the chairman of the reception
committee. Those who come on
trains will be met at the depot. Any
who come through the country on
Tuesday morning or after will go di-
rect to the church.
In another column will be found
some of the aims and accomplish
ments of the organized Sunday
school movement, of which this con-
vention purposes to form part. 1t
will be well for all to read those
points and familiarize themselves
with what the movement stands for.
The following are the names Of
the superintendents which have been
received, and it is hoped that any
name not appearing will be sent to
