 he Holland County Sunday School Association met at the Methodist church Wednesday in annual conven- tion- The storm had it's effect upon the attendance, yet there were fifty present in the morning and about one hundred at the afternoon and evening session. There are forty -one schools in this organization and nearly all were represented aby delegates. The morning session was devoted to the elementary department and was pre- sided over by Miss Wilhelmina Stock CT, state supervisor of that branch of the work. Rev. l.. G. Horton led the devotional service, which opened the program at II. IS o'clock. Mrs. HF. P. Bacheler of Talcottville spoke for the sCradle-roll, '' and made an earnest appeal for the establishing of one in every. school. Among the Acccruing benefits set forth were: The interest it aronses in the family, it's action as a feeder. for the Sunday school, the aid itgivcs to the mothers aid the comfort it brings to homes in ,sqarow. :.
