!. K. Hair, who has the distinction
of being the founder Of this conven-

There were five sessions of the con-
vention, morning, afternoon and even
ing Of the 9th and morning and even
ing of the 10th.
This was indeed a most splendid ses-
sion Of the convention. Everybody in
attendance was loud in their praise Of
the different sessions. Many went
away awakened and aroused to a
new sense Of their duties and respon-
sibilities to the Sunday school. 1t Is
to be hoped the enthusiasm will at
least last until they have impaired
some small portion to their respective
Sunday schools. 1t was unanimously
given up to be the best session Of the
convention.
The convention voted unanimously
to extend thanks to the Glover people
for their hospitality and kindnesses
shown in many ways. 1t Is indeed
a pleasure to meet with such people as
these at Glover.
The convention adjourned to meet
with the Flint Hill church on Tuesday
and Wednesday, after the first Sunday
in May, 1912.
