Seward County Sunday School
Convention

ter which Miss Price gave another
Missionary lecture. She said that a
Sunday School that was not mission
airy, home and foreign, had taken the
first step toward its own destruc-
ton, that there are no grounds for
debate on our missionary obligation,
but our Lords command. Her APP
peal was strong and her vivid de-
scription of the millions of the hui
man race grouping amid their death
shadows and crying for the light
gave us a new vision of missions. The
overflow meeting was held at the NJ.
f. church, where Mr.. Rockefeller
led an instructive Sunday School
meeting.
Afternoon Session
At 1870, praise and prayer ser
vice was led by Rev. G. w. Kellogg
of the Presbyterian Church. The re-
ports of the ExCounty Sunday
Schools Presidents were then given.
All were review of the work of
the past 25 years. Two reports were
read from former County Presidents.
1t was interesting to hear from ones
who have had such a part in making
this great convention possible. Nh.
j. N. Evans gave short review of
the work in pioneer days and of some
of the difficulties surmounted, which
seem to us today almost miraculous
The convention was then favored
with song by the Hayne Sunday
School, after which conference on
Organized Glass Work was conducted
by Mr., Rockefeller Then came a
conference by Miss Price.
At the business session that fol-
lowed, the following officers we're
elected for the coming year: Presi-
dent, Ralph Heath; Vice President,
NJ. II. Seandrett Secretary and
Treasurer, N, l.. Falls; Supt. Teach
ers' Training, Prof. r. o. Rindom;
Supt. Adult Glass Work, Robert
Burns; Supt. House to House Vista
tion, Mrs. NJ H. Scandrett; Supt.
Primary and Cradle Roll, Mrs. E. w.
Williams; Supt Missionary Depart
ment, Miss Maude SAUNDERS; Supt.
Temperance Department, j. B.
Loomas.
The Superior Sunday School sang
for us at this time, after which Miss
Price held a conference with the,
Primaries and Juniors, and with her
heart talk and exhibits,
she won the hearts of all the little
ones for the great work of winning
the world for Christ,
Evening Session
At 500 p. M, Devotional services
were led by Rev. A. NJ, Gibson of the
Church, and last, but by no
means least, was a stirring address
by Mr. Rockefeller on "The Rights
of Boys" This climax of the great
County Convention was felt to be a
q fitting close With this last ses-
sion OF the associations conference
we launch out on the new year with
high hopes of greater attaipments.
Our experience of this convention
has shown us again. the increasing
possibilities of Seward County. Pleas
ant Valley was awarded the banner
for having Travelled the greatest num-
Der Of miles in attending the con-
ventlon, the mileage being Laps

80 miles. 1t is estimated that there
were 200 in attendance at this con-
vention. The state workers pres
emit were Miss Maude A. Price, State

GREENWOOD.

Hurrah for the Democrat party (the
Republicans can hurrah for themselves }
And now the Democratic donkey can
come off its oats and see how high hill
it can climb without putting spikes in
its hoofs. One thing is certain, you
can't crush patriotism with a steam
roller, any more than you can convert
into gun powder.
We are proud of our base ball team.
The strong fredericksburg team came to
Greenwood last Saturday. and for six
innings it looked as if our boys would be
defeated, the score being 8 to 0. But
our crack little third baseman,
opened the seventh inning with three
base hit, which seemed to unnerve the
Caroline champions, and Greenwood was
soon five runs to the good. The game
ended to 8. in favor of our boys.

faith in God and caused them to re.
fuse to be christians, and thus come
into condemnation, the judgment must
indeed be severe.
We can but urge with all the force
at command that christians avoid
swearing, are truthful in every way,
they bride the tongues so that from
the same mouth does not come pray
ers to God and evil reports as to
neighbors, words of peace and those
of anger which cut and blister. The
bible we'll says that out of the abund-
ance of the heart the mouth speak
eth. Then pray for clean heart
which will not prompt to words which
tear down and deceive, but rather to
those which give joy, helpfulness,
kindness, truth. Then indeed will the
victory be yours, and Gods blessing
be poured forth.
