School Association will draw to a.
close with the next few meetings
which will be held In the newly or.
ganized counties in the southern part

In ell cases attended by from three
TO five hundred people. These dis.
trictconvcutions send delegates to the
cou-ty conventions, which have very
uniformly been the most successful
ever. held by the state organization.
The West Virginia Sunday School
Association looks for supporesto these
county conventions, and while the do.
nations this year have been very lit.
tie larger than last year, the funds
have been turned in much more
promptly. The success of the con,
yentions both in amount of work ac.
