DELIGHTFUL
CONVENTION
OF Union Star District Held at
StephenSpOrt July 2S--Mr.
Gabauer Present.
WELCOME BY MISS HAWKINS.

Stephensport, July 2S. Especial. J
The Union Star district Kentucky Sun
day School Association convened July
2S, 1910, at Stephensport.
Owing to the inclement weather we
were unable to hold the morning ses-
sion, much to the disappointment of
the entire body. AT lis p. m. Presi-
dent r. A. Shellman called the meeting
to order.
The opening song, "All Hail the
Power of Jesus Name" was rendered
by the choir. Rev. F. r. Roberts led
the devotional exercises, after which
followed a very impressive and hearty
welcome by Miss Hawkins, and re-
sponded to by our ever ready county
president, Mr.. T. B. Henderson.
1.-The Mission of the Sunday School"
was the subject assigned to Rev. F. r.
Roberts, who evidently had his subject
we'll in hand bringing out the thought
that to teach discipline, to teach Loyalty
to Christ and to teach devotion, were
important works of the Sunday School.
Rev. 4. c. Gebauer, our state work
er, came next on the program. He be-
gan his address by inquiring which
way our district is marching That
being the spirit of the song just sung.
The reports from Sunday Schools
we're called for by Mr.. Gebauer. Five
Sunday Schools reported with an en-
rollment of $50; average attendance
1872 We had reported two cradle rolls
and Que home department. There are
sixteen day schools in Union Star Mag
isterial District and only seven organ
lied Sunday Schools. All this we
learned about our district in the course
of his address, and we too should see
the need of more workers in the Mas
ter's vinyard for THE field is white
already to Harvest"
Prof. w. M. Martin in his address
which was most inspiring and helpful,
asks: "Are the parents mean enough
to send their children to the Sunday
SCHOOL," All, go and take them
"Train up child in the way he should
20, and when he is old he will not de-
part from it," was brought out with
much force. An opportunity to hear
such inspiring talks should always be
grasped. Let us too remember the
mission for which Christ came ITO
seek and save that which is lost" and
never grow weary in well-doing.
Mrs. ]. F. Winchell favored us with a
selection, "Why Jesus Restricted His
Teaching to the Jews"
Mr.. T. b. Henderson in his address
on Holding the Boys in Sunday
School," suggested, first: Be in SYM
pathy with the boys. In their pleas
ures be participants, keep in touch with
them. The example of father to sor
has in a large measure a great inhu
ence over the boys. Fathers SHOULD
Remember to train them up in the
way they should go"
Rev. Gebauer, in a concluding adj
dress TO the children-and that is what
we all are, only grown up-by illustra
ton said: 81 must watch my mouth
my eyes, my ears. God knows what
say, see, l hear. Oh, that this may
be the guiding thought of our lives
Next came the report of Committees
on Nominations suggesting r. A.
Shellman as president, S. E. Richard
son as secretary, A. E. Tucker superin-
tendent of the International Bible
Reading Association.
The vote being taken we were elect
ed to fill the places another year.
