Big Success.
(From Box Elder News

Sunday last was big day for Brig.
ham City, in fact for the entire county |
occasioned by the gathering of the
Sunday School officers of the Bear |
River, Malad and Box Elder stakes
in convention in this city. These
three stakes are largely made up OF
wards located within the boundaries
of Box Elder County, so that every
town and hamlet had many represen-
tatives In this city Saturday and Sun
day.
The crowds commenced to arrive on
the morning train from the valley,
Saturday morning, and all during the
day a throng of people surged through
the streets of the city, taking in the
sights and otherwise amusing them
selves until nightfall, when the fes.
tivities of the convention were inau-
gurated.
A bureau of information had been
established by the Stake Sunday
School Board in the city council cham.
bers, where II. w. Valentine and
others were located all day, issuing
cards to the visitors introducing them
to the homes where they would be
entertained. The committee on enter
tainment was most successful in max.
ing arrangements, for places were pro-
| vided for every one who came to the
convention and many homes did not
receive a guest, which had made pre-
parations to care for one or two.
The spirit of sociability reigned SUI
preme, and the guests were made to
feel that everything they desired for
their comfort, would be promptly sup.
piled and local people went out of
their way to make 1t pleasant for the
visitors, thus making their own lives
more pleasant and happy.
/ In the evening at o'clock, basket
ball game was played in the high
school gym between the high school
team and a picked five of Sunday
school workers, which resulted in a
walk-away for the Sunday school.
At $50, the workers gathered in
the large assembly room on the second
floor, which had been beautifully dec
Grated with the stars and stripes and
ported plants in bloom, where an ex.
cellent program was carried out under
the direction of the Box Elder stake.
At the conclusion of the program, de-
licious fruit punch and candy were
served in the hall, as the guests pass
ed down in to the gym to participate
in the social dance which concluded
the evenings pleasure.
