Ii is comfort to know that he in
tends to see to the enforcement of
these laws and to punish offenders
by arrests. fines, and imprisonment
Mrs. Iva Tucker spoke feelingly on
winning the Boy" impressing the
impo lance of it on teachers and
speaking of the power one playmate
could exert for the betterment of
another.
One Of the excellent speeches of
the convention was made by the Rev.
". >. Willis, of Hustonville on the
subject of Living. This difficult
theme re handled in a mastery way,
showing how each denomination had
protited BY the work of the inter-
national Association and telling f
the influence it had had on his life.
| He closed by asking that each school
pay its apportionment, three cents
for each pupil and 10 cents for each
officer and teacher, cheerfully re-
membering the needs of destitute
| fields.
After such talk and few
words by Mr.. Joplin, needless to
say, an offering was taken greatly
exceeding any ever given here in
times past. While the offering was
being made, Misses Annie Rogers
Powell and Frances Embry sang
"Take NV Life and Let it Be" so
| splendidly that it was one of the
most impressive features of the
convention.
Temperance instruction" was
treated by Rev. j. j. Dickey as an
essential to a successful Bible
school. He recommended a printed
pledge to hang on the wall of every
church and to be signed by the pu-
pills. Remembering his written
name hanging on the church. wall
has kept many a boy from drink"
he said. Every teacher must be a
total abstainer to make his influence
and example what it should be.
This finished the talks on the
standard and the remaining time
was occupied by talks by Mrs. Hen
nv Phillips and Miss Liccie Beazle
on "Rowland and its Work" and the
/ w. G. r. L. School at Hindman res
pectively. Both talks were good and
pointed out important fields of work
for Sunday schools. Then after
short "quiz' conducted by Mr.. Jop-
lin the afternoon session of the con-
vention closed.
The evening service of song and
the devotionals conducted by Rev.
i. l.. Bruce were followed by the re-
| port of the committees and a talk
| by Mr.. Joplin on our standards or II
| general summing up of the topics
discussed during the day.
| Ii was splendid convention in
every particular. The music, under
the efficient direction of Mrs. J. G.
Carpenter and the leadership of Rev
ID. NJ. Walker was beautiful and had
required much work. To Mrs. Wal
ker who PLAYED the organ is due the
thanks of the convention for her
promptness and faithfulness, as
well as to Mr.. Walker who presided
AL day Friday and saw to il that no
part of the service was permitted to
drag. Dinner was served TO fifty
