School of Methods in charge of ex-
perts who have given careful study to
the latest Sunday school methods.
They do not come to tell us of the
problems that perplex us, but they
come to tell US how to overcome them
and to make Sunday school work both
easier and more effective. The plans
for enlargement, grading, organiza-
tion, and teacher training have been
worked out after years of study and
application and are being rapidly in
troduced in the thousands of schools
in the fifteen states composing the
Southern Baptist Convention. Ken
lucky is maintaining a good lead in
the work with their four experts in the
field who are in great demand and are
on the go all the time.
The members of the other schools of
Cloverport and of the county and the
public generally are invited to attend
any and all of the services as the
methods are practical and adaptable
to all schools.
On Thursday a house-to- house can
vass of Cloverport will be made to
discover the posi- lilities of each school

er to the Presbyterian, Methodist and
Baptist Sunday schools that all out of
the Sunday schools may be reached by
the school of their choice.
The afternoon services will be held

There will be service every night
the remainder of the week and every
afternoon from to . beginning Thurs
day. The Baptist Sunday School Con-
venticn will be held on Saturday from

compelled to return before Sunday
may get the O'Clock train.-E. o. e.

DAVE WALLS
TO STUDY LAW
Custer School Man Takes An
other Step Of Progressive
Study For the Profession Of
Law. Joel H. Pile Pays Him
Many Compliments.
SENT MANY TO HIGH SCHOOL

Four or FIVE years ago an excellent
board of trustees, acting for an inter-
ested community, asked the writer to
recommend them good teacher for
the Custer school. The response was,
Employ Dave Walls, and if he is not
satisfactory III resign the county sup
erinte ndency and come teach myself, If
you'll let rue."
Soon after he had charge of the
school was informed by one of the
delighted trustees, I'VE do not want
you to come to take his place" From
that good day till this, when it is neces-
sary for him to resign in order to con-
tinue his law study in Louisville, Custer
has enjoyed consta ntly growing school
and a deepening interest in education.
In addition to training and equipping
several teachers, Mr.. Walls has sent
more pupils to the County High School
than any other teacher.
He leaves the Custer district with a
splendid library of $50 volumes. Each
year he has added the Pupils Reading
Circle Course, and he has 50 stimulated
the desire for good reading that there
are no unused books in the collection.
In the ten years of his teaching he
has taught eleven schools, the first four
of which were at home, or so close that
he boarded at home.
Results in scholarship and the desire
to prosecute an education in the High
School and beyond, have been secured
by honest and thorough work in well
disciplened school.
Order has been one of his first laws,
His motto has always been: go after
the grown-ups and the younger ones
will follow" and none were too old OF
large to ''go after, while the years
have shown none. were too young tC
follow.
If the bars gain is to be equal to the
schools loss. we congratulate the lega
profession upon its promised accession.
Natural ability coupled with the
training at the Western State Normal
at Bowling Green made him a front
rank teacher. His work is. his bes,
recomme ndation, and from it we
prophesy a success in the legal field.

Family And Grand Children
And Lives A Busy Life.

Henry Shrewsbury, of McQuady, left
Sunday after visit to his daughters,
Mrs. Garfield Burden and Mrs. John
Newton, in this city. His children here
are young married people and it was a
delight to them to have their father a
guest in their pleasant homes.
The neighbors of Mr.. Shrewsbury tell
that he is one OF the best farmers
around McQuady, because he works,
undertakes all his responsibilities,
meets all of his obligations and still
finds chance to have an easy time
now and then, and visit occasionally.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shrewsbury have eight
children, all married except two. He
declares that its more work with them
away than when they were little tots
around the fire-side. Now, they all
come home and bring their children
and their company. There are the
horses to put up and it keeps my nose
to the grindstone to keep everything
running right. All the time I've was
smiling and it could be plainly seen that
Mr.. Shrewsbury was wrapped up in his
big, happy family.

Contributed by f. o. Cottrell

The ways of the world full of haste and turmoil:
will sing of the tribe of helpers who travel in peace
He that turneth from the road to another
Turneth toward his goal
He shall arrive in due time by the footpath of mercy
God will be his guide
He that taketh up the burdens of the fanting
Lighteneth his own load
The Almighty will put his underneath him.
He shall lean upon the Lord.
He that speaketh comforting words to mouners
Healeth his own heart:
In his time of grief they will return to remembrance;
God will use them for balm.
He that careth for the sick and wounded
Watcheth not alone:
There three in the darkness together,
And the third is the Lord
Blessed is the way of the helpers:
The champions of the Christ.
