Barbour County index., 1910-09-07
Annual Sunday school Convention


Association met in regular session |
in the Christian church, Medicine |
Lodge, August Hip, 1910.
Now it will be difficult for me to |
ested in the same things, so 1 shall
endeavor to give you my view of it.
We were all disappointed in the
absence of Bro. Engle and Frank
Delay, but we had plenty of materi-
al on the ground to supply them. 1t
was far better than last year. In
the opening address, Bro, Imboden
said, prize fights are often ruled
out of cities but never christian.
The response by the President was
short. but to the point. He said in
part, 1--WE are glad to cooperate
with you in this great Sunday
school movement, for the sake OF
our boys and girls"
Bro. Barbour gave us an unusual
ly we'll prepared and appropriate adj
dresss. Parents, he said in part,
How can we win the boys and
girls to Christ when parents swear,
lie, cheat and are deceittful. Par
ents cannot bring up their children
to love, fear trust and obey God,
when they are themselves ungodly.
They want others to save their
children while they live in sin"
The following committees were
selected-Nominating committee,
]. A. Shamberger, Rev. VonSchriltz,
G.. M. Martin; Resolutions commit
tee, Geo. Cochran, Rev. Van Horn,
R. S. Crane; General committee,
Mrs. Chas. Kidd, Miss Minnie Cant,
Mrs. A w. Schnelle.
The appointment of delegates was
done in a systematical way. Their
work was very much appreciated.
Thursday Afternoon Session
Praise and song service by Bros
Spiers and Crane.
Bro. Martin gave us most excel
! lent address on the relation of Sun
day school to civil law. He gave
us a history of law from the begin
ming to the present. Jesus brought
a new form of Government that each
person should be free. In order to
rule we must be educated so we will
know how to rule.
You can't teach morality in pub
lie schools, some one will object, so
the only place to do this is in the
Sunday school CHEERS and ap-
plause).
Sunday school and relation to
home government was free for all
discussion. There are boys and girls
2 or 8 years old who rule or ruin
the home.
Thursday Evening Session
Song and praise service by Bros.
Crane and Spiers. We then listen
ed to an excellent address by Bro
Won Schriltz. The speaker helped
us to see the beautiful things in the
world, God made everything beauti-
full.
Friday Morning Session
Song and praise service by Bro
Hopkins.
The adult Bible class demonstra'
ton was excellent. Everybody die
their work in a natural way. 1t is
better to put ten men at work than
try to do ten mems work.
There were many rapid fire ques'
tions. That's good, come again.
