The convention heard extended ad-
dresses upon the memorial offered by
Rev. S. e. Tull, of Paducah, KY, to
replace the international system of

made in the International lessons
which the committee believed would
be be beneficial to Baptist Sunday
schools.

our Sunday school teachers and off,
GERS to pursue the courses Of in
struction provided by our own Sunday
school board, because no non demon
national or undenominational agency
can provide the instruction best adapt
ed to the development of efficient
workers in the Sunday Schools said
