GREAT SUNDAY SCHOOL CON.
VENTIoN.

| Inc lWenCy-Second annual conven-
ton of the North Dakota State Sun.
day School association, which has beer
in session in this city since last Tues
day, came to close last night at the
finish of rousing meeting held at the
First Methodist church.
A splendid and helpful lecture b.
Hugh Cork of Chicago, secretary OF
the International Sunday School asso-
citation. and the appropriate conclud-
ing remarks by Rev. Charles r. Adams
of Fargo, ended the great convention.
| The delegates told each other COOS
bye for another year and promised to
meet each other again in their great
work at Valley City in 1912.
Boy Scouts Parade Deferred.
The proposed parade of the Boy
Scouts, to have been headed by two
girl scouts from Lisbon, was postponed
on account of the failure of some of
the suits for few of the patrols to
arrive in time. There are over 100
scouts in Fargo and Moorhead and
each patrol Is growing every day.
It has been suggested by some to
have scout day during the CONNER
cial travellers convention so that the
boys may show their prowess and the
great advancement they have made In
recent weeks. If such a day can be
arranged, it is barely possible that
Scout day will be made into a contest
day when prizes will be offered be-
tween the different patrols for various
! athletic feats.
Cork's Last Address.
The closing effort of Hugh Cork was
perhaps his best In the city during
the whole convention. His subject
was, The Future of Organized Sun
day School, which he predicted was
going to be the most powerful body
in the world.
He said the manner in which the
movement was sweeping the country
and other countries was marvellous
He called attention to the great num-
Der of prominent men Of the nation
who had given literally to the cause
Then he showed how much more In
terest there was exhibited in the Bible
and that is now getting to be book,
as in the days of two generations ago,
that was widely read. He made ref
erence to the fine reception awaiting
all the delegates to the Worlds Sunday
School convention to be held at San
Francisco next month.
Mr. Cork's parting advice to the
Sunday school teachers was particu-
larly helpful and will not soon be for
gotten by any of them.
Preceding his lecture was the ad-
dress of Rev. A. L. Shute of Bismarck.
who spoke on, The Teaching Function
of the Church. Rev. Mr. Shute's re-
marks were appropriate to the hour.
He is fluent speaker and spoke at
some length with decided emphasis.
He closed his remarks with an appeal
TO the young man and woman to take
up the work OF the teacher, declaring
that "the Sunday school teacher has
position OF the highest honor"
Rev. Mr.. Adams cIoses
The last feature of the convention
was the brief talk by Rev. Charles f.
Adams Of Fargo who made short re-
sumo of the whole conventions work
He asked, 'in view OF all these things,
what am to do?"
To illustrate his point hN told Of the
three apostles who were on the noun
tain with Christ and saw Him there In
the gplendor of His glory. The apos-
ties wished to remain there because
it was good for them to stay, but
the Savior reminded them there was
work for them to do in the valley
where the people Of the earth dwelt,
