SOUTH WALDO DIST CONVENTION

The South Waldo District of the Waldo
County Sunday School Association held its
annual convention in the Methodist church at
North Searsport, Wednesday, June 28th. This
district takes in the towns of Searsport, Swan
vile, Islesboro, Lineonville, Northport and
Belfast and nine schools were represented by
delegates at this convention In the absence
of the District Secretary the report of the
County Secretary was listened to, which in
formed us that. the above mentioned towns
have 20 schools, in which are enrolled 2004
students, besides 161 in the Home Depart
ment, mostly aged or intirm persons who study
the regular lessons at home, and 107 on the
Cradle Roll, which takes in the children too
young to attend the school but who are in this
way Unidentified with it. The meeting was
presided over by the District President and
after the usual praise service and business
session an unusually interesting program was
presented, only one speaker on the program
being absent. Addresses were given by Rev.
j. A. Corey of Searsport, Rev. VIM. Vaughan
of Belfast, Rev. C. H. Mckinney of Sears
port and Mr.. Q. E. Frost OF Belfast The
dominant note of the convention was inteli-
gent earnestness. All the addresses sounded
the forward note, the newer, saner theology
Perhaps this thought was best expressed by
one speaker who said: 'An ideal that is not
practical is of no use to u.s. The audience,
throughout the day, gave that alert and dis
eliminating attention which is the inspiration
of speakers. Much of the success of the day
was due to the efforts of the entertaining
school. The charming little church was deco
rated with bouquets of beautiful roses,
bountiful dinner was served in the dining
gallery, and the school choir furnished music
throughout the day. Solos were rendered by
Mrs. Hartman of North Searsport and Miss
CHM of Belfast. Special mention should be
made of the number of children present,
whose bright faces constituted an attractive
feature to at least one visitor Their good be-
havior and their general air of being exactly
where they belonged, as indeed they were, re-
minded one of the words "Of such are the
Kingdom of Heaven"
The committee on new schools reported one
new school organized in the Georges District
Chapel, Prospect. THIS place being nearer to
the South Waldo centers than to those of the
Mt. Waldo District, to which it properly be-
longs. it was voted last year to include it in
our District. fourishing school is reported
there. The committee on New Schools was
made permanent one and consists of Rev. C.
H. Mckinney, Mr.. Alonzo J. Knowlton, Rev. A.
G. Roberts. Any place in'the District where
new Sunday school is wished for will receive
assistance by communicating with any mem
Der of the committee.
Officers for the coming year were elected as
follows: President Gerald W. Howard. Vice
President, ]. A. Corey; Secretary, Mary Rob-
ertson; Superintendent of Home Department,

The storytelling section proved the most
popular, in point of numbers, and the limit of
oO members was reached soon after its organi-
zation. Mrs. U. B. Herrick, the dean of wom-

cal culture and very fine reader, is the ef-

most interesting and helpful, each one being in

section presented Prof. Whipple, head of the
horticultural Department of the College and
otatlon, who gave most practical lecture on
what could be done, locally, toward improve
ment, and what trees, shrubs and plants are
best adapted to climatic conditions in this alti-
tude Many of his hearers took advantage of the
opportunity given to ask questions along those
lines, and the afternoon was one of practical
value. Fully as helpful in a different way
was the lecture given by Prof. Coblezlo head
of the college chemistry department, and re-

w. c. T. U. NOTES.

The Sunday spent by Uncle Sans destroyers
in the harbor, was the same on which Mrs
Stevens and Miss Gordon spent in the city.
The raison d'etre of the one is destr uction;
the mission of the other, peace and helpful
ness. Several of the sailor boys came on shore
and attended services in one or other of the
churches. A W. c. T. U. lady met one of the
boys and directed him to the M. E. church, that
being his preference. He renamed to the
Sunday school and listened interestedly to Miss
Gordon as she told about the young Cam
paigners for Prohibition" At the close of the
school he left 81 bill with the superintendent
for Miss Gordon to use in the work, saying he
saw SO much of the liquor evil in the ports
visited by the vessel, that he wished to help.
