FROM THE PUBLICITY COMMIT
TEE OF THE TRENTON con-
yENTION
Of the New Jersey Sunday Schools
November 18th to 14th, 1912.

ton has been known for number
of years as the Sunday school cen
tire of the State of New Jersey. Many
of the newest methods in Sunday
school work have been tried out
here and after successful trials have
been used by the more than two
thousand Sunday schools of New
Jersey and in fact many OF the meth
DDS have been adopted by the big
Sunday schools of the East.
When the announcement was made
at Atlantic City Sunday School Con-
vention, that Trenton wanted the
convention in 1912, the delegates ex-
with the invitation and heartily ac-
copied it,
During the early part of 1911, the
Sunday School Workers of Trenton
were. appraised of the fact that in No
vember, 1912, they would be called
upon to act as guests of 1000 Sunday
School workers of the State, and
when the preliminary co-ehabrmen
at the local committee were appoint
ed in September, 1911, by the Tren-
ton Sunday School Superintendent
Association, the plan and scope of
the work of the coming months be-
gan to dawn upon the superintend-
ents and the teachers of the Trenton
schools
Edward W. Durham and Joseph H.
Wright are the co-chairmen of the
local committee on the Trenton Com
mittee, and Hhey have associated
with them several of the best known
Sunday schools in the city as chair
men of the subcommittee The
Sunday school convention of the
State of New Jersey, coming at any
time means work for the local COM
mittee of the town or city in which
the convention is held But the
Trenton convention means more to
the Sunday school workers of the
State, because of the great prepare
lions which have already been made
and which are to be made during
the coming days, to entertain the
delegates in the homes; provide the
finest program possible, and get the
greatest body of singers together
that has ever been enlisted in the
Sunday school work of the State.
