The schools of the county have vot,
ed unanimously, those present at the
reunion rally of Friday, to have an
other rally day next year and plans
for the affair were started yesterday
before the days program for the first
rally was over. officers of the County
Sunday School Association assert
that the efforts for Rally Day will do
more to stimulate Sunday school work
and increase interest and school mem.
bership than any other one thing that
could happen.
Everyone was pleased and delighted
with the success and the results ach.
ieved by the first effort of Mahaska
County Sunday School Rally day. I'm.
mediately following the parade the
crowd of two thousand or more Sun
day school people hurried to the
splendid picnic grounds in the woods
east of the University buildings,
southeast of town, where a splendid
family picnic dinner was enjoyed.
The meal was enjoyed as was also
the hours visit among the Sunday
school workers from the various parts
of the county.
Afternoon Program.
Will J. Howell, one of the best
known and strongest Sunday school
workers in the county, for years sup
erintendent of the Methodist Episco.
pal Sunday school, was chairman of
the afternoons program. In the alb
sence of a speakers stand an auto
mobile was moved to a vantage point
from which the speakers might ad.
dress the crowd gathered about. Mr..
Howell first called upon Mayor S. V.
Reynolds. of Oskaloosa. The city
executive was in a happy vein, but
was brief. He told the throng how
really glad he was to turn the keys
of the city over to the keeping of such
a splendid body of people. He felt
perfectly safe, therefore, in giving
the entire police force a vacation for
the day, as he knew that no one
would have use for peace officers in
such a gathering. He contrasted
briefly the rule of kings who must
govern by force of arms and standing
armies and the rule of Christian love
that accomplished such things as the
day had brought forth.
Major Lacey was next introduced.
