would have men and women Christ
like, and that means unsel6sh.
The township Presidents gave in
their reports, which is called num-
bering the flock. Figures are given
showing how many attend Sunday
schools, and how many should be
reached, and plans are suggested for
enlisting them in the work.
President Ellis then gave his pic
ture in figures, showing the proper
tion and ratio of those who have
the work of ingathering to do COM
pared with the number yet to be
reached.
Mr.. Burnie then spoke on the
grading of Sunday schools, which
was a very helpful and instructive
explanation, showing the better
work that can be done where prop
er grades are established, and class
es pass on through the various steps
as in the day schools of the land.
AT the call for business the var
ious committees were appointed for
the work of the later business ses-
sion of Saturday.
A praise service opened the after
noon meeting, when Mr.. Burnie gave
his talk on "Out of sight, out of
mind-guarding the flock" This
took in the Home Department fea-
ture of Sunday school work. The
care of the ones who are compelled
by circumstances to be away, and
keeping their interest in the cause
Making them feel that they are a
part of the actual Sunday school
and not out of mind because out of
sight, but rather that they are miss
ed from the circle, hence more In
mind than out of mind.
When Rev. Fraley takes up the
theme of "Workers Together he
is on ground that is familiar and
ground that he likes. He is Presi-
dent of the Marshall County Inter
Church Council, which is organized
for the purpose of bringing the var
ious denominations into a closer
union in general religious work. Not
the breaking down of lines, but a
cooperation that will make it pos
sible to unitedly do a work that In
dividually cannot be accomplished
Mr.. Fraley had arranged that a
supper should be served to all the
ministers of the county who could
be persuaded to come. and a good
number were there last night.
AT this meeting officers were elect
ed, Rev. Frank Fraley was made
President. Rev. A. ]. Michaels OF
Culver Vice President, Rev. W. G.
Logan Secretary, and Rev. b. F
WINS Treasurer. The work before
this council could not be well de-
veloped last night. the time being
short, and all anxious to hear Mr.
Hanley, but they will come together
at an early date at the call Of the
President. and the work for the
county planned and mapped out
looking to a more general coopera-
ton that will benefit all in religious
circles.
A quintette from Tyner, all men
gave a pleasing number that was
much appreciated, following which
the various departments went to
their conference meetings. Those
interested in the Temperance work
went to the Presbyterian church fol-
their conference, where DR.. Thomp-
son and Rev. Logan held forth. The
ingathering and missions occupied
different parts of the Methodist
church, until 3:45. when the
Mothers meeting IN charge of Mrs
Brooke and Miss Lewis was called
This was meeting that interested
many. and it was regretted by all
that it was cut short in order that
the room might be prepared for the
crowd of the evening.
The Boys Rally was at 400 at
the Presbyterian church, and was ad
dressed by George F. Zanies OF
Chicago. who had been highly rec
commended for this department of the
work. There wereo many boys pres.
ent. and a good sprinkling of men
and the lessons given were calculat.
ed to make the boys good men, and
to make the men better men.
A pleasing feature or rather In.
cident of the day was the gathering
of country people at the home OF
Rev. Logan to eat dinner. Mrs
Logan had prepared for fair num-
Der. but they came rushing in with
overlooking baskets, and by the time
dinner was over thirty-two had beer
fed. Several went back and had
supper there, and still they have
victuals to eat. Mrs. Logan thinks
it is wonderful how much there
rural inhabitants can get ready and
bring in on such an occasion. Ii
