The Coming Convention.

There is no doubt that the coming
Sunday School Convention to be held in
Pocomoke City, May 18th and 18th will
be, by far. the most helpful, the most
enthusiastic. the most inspirational
meeting of Sunday School workers Wor-
cester County has ever seen. Real and
genuine interest is developing all the
way down the line.
The heads or superintendent of the
various Departments. are inquiring just
what is the nature of their particular
share Of the work. They want to know
just what they have got to do. and just
how long a time they have in which to
do it,
We have gotten out into the light.
We are now looking conditions right in
the face and we find it about like this,
that. when the Sunday School workers
Of this county soberly and carefully
choose and elect man or a woman TO
office in the County and District Sunday
School Associations and place hlm or
her at the head of Special Department
of the Sunday School work. they do
feel, and we believe they have a right
to expect, that such Department Super
intendent should assume the RESPONSE
bilities of his office and should DO all in
his power to develop the work of their
department and bring it up to the very
highest possible standard of efficiency.
Now the progress already made has
been most encouraging. If there ever
was a time when the matter Of officer
ing our Sunday School work was a
mere formality, it is past, and indeed
if such a condition ever did exist it
was short-lived, for our working force
has not yet served two full years, and
all down the line they are getting ION
the job. and we find our Department
officers getting right down to business.
Our ambition is that Worcester shall
be Front Line County" by Septem-
Der LIST. Our Superintendent of Or
ganized Adult Bible Class Work under
the supervision of Mr.. V. J.. Downing
Of Pocomoke City. will make good with
out doubt.
How will it be with the Cradle Roll
Superintendent? The Home Depart
ment? The Teacher Training Depart
ment? We believe the success or fail
ure to place Worcester in the Front
Line" list depends upon the development
Of these last named Departments. We
have sufficient time to develop this
work and believe our faithful workers
will not fail US now. Did you hear of
that splendid District Rally held in Po-
comoke City? II was perfectly grand.
Our Pocomoke people are getting things
/ in line and we have reason TO believe
that reports from Pocomoke District
will be an inspiration TO US when we
gather there in May.
Arrangements are being made to hold
convention in Stockton District prior
to our County Convention. and plans are
also on foot for a Grand Rally Of the
Snow Hill District workers. Berlin Dis
trict has had hers but. ! would not be
surprised if she was to do it over again
before May LIST.
Accomplishments have exceeded our
expectations, but on reflection we read
ily understand the reason. It's because
the very best Christian citizenship OF
Worcester County is behind it, standing
together. That's why. Its for God
and Right. and IRE bound to win.
Yours for great victory,
o. NJ. SHOCKLEY.
Pres. Wor. Co. S. ). Association.

several large stones and the longest
beard ever seen in Richmond We're the

of scissors and ships off a few inches
OF his beard. He said he liked to
wear his beard long"
He was taken to police headquarters

carried the stones to protect himself
from dogs which attacked him when
he begged for food at farm houses. He

for cigars and can pick good ones
from poor ones by sight. The four
teen cigar stubs which he had were
