Al CONVENTION.
West virginia IS humping herself
for honors at the International Sunday:
school Convention 70 be held in wash
ington May 10 to "a inclusive, az
which time the entire world win be-
represented. And this state expects
to be well toward the head Of the list
in work accomplished and the show.
ing Of general efficiency Of the State
organization. so successful has West
Virginia been in the past year in fact
that many States Of several times the
size and population will be excelled;
West virginia ranks eleventh in the
United States in Sunday School work,
and II her present rate is maintained
she will doubtless take a better rank
than that within short time
One Of the ways In which West yir-
glnla will make her presence known
in washington during the convention
will be by her two bands. TWO Of the
leading adult Bible classes of the
State have set themselves to furnish
the bands. The G. P. Mott ORGANIZED
Adult Bible Class of Berkeley Springs
is going to the convention practically
in a BODY and will take a band with
them. The Young Mems Bible Class
OF the First NJ. E. Church Of Martins
burg is also planning to send the lalt;
ger portion Of its Membership and ait
ed by other Sunday School organiza
tons Of that city will probably take q
band With It. Martinsburg is putting
itself t6 the task of taking $50 people
| to washington for the convention, and
In this number is secured a special
train viii Se run with the rate for the
round trip but $3.50. On account Of
the extremely low rate to be given it
is thought that no difficulty will be
had in getting the necessary number.
While evenry day of the six occu-
MED by the convention will be distin-
guished by some particular feature, yet
the day which will count for most
throughout the world wherever Sun.
