We, the Borubon County Sunday
School Union in session assembled in
the Baptist church at Paris, Kentucky,
believe, that
Whereas, the Sunday schools of our
county could be brought into closer
union with each other, and the varied
methods of work as used by each de-
nominational school, by compal ison
with one another in such conferences
would be of untold value. and l
Whereas, but few of our county
schools are represented in this annual
gathering, therefore be it resolved
That we urge upon the officers of
this organization to arrange a pro-
gramme at least one month prior to
the time of annual meeting. same to
be published in all county papers to-
gether with time and place of meet
Ing, and be 1t further resolved
That all our county schools be urged
to make out and forward report of
their work to the secretary of the
union, that we commend the gathering
of all statistics as to non-attending
Sunday school pupils, that the Home
Department, Cradle Roll, and Graded
System, so far as the latter is practi-
cable in view of local conditions be
adopted by the various schools, and
be it further resolved
That we commend our brother, w. j.
Vaughan, as an interesting and eff
cient Sunday school worker, that we
urge heartier cooperation with our
State Association, and that our schools
send large representation to the
State Convention at Louisville, Ken
lucky, on October 1922, 1911.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. VIM, MYALL,
