THE SUCCESSFUL
 SUNDAY SCHOOL
County President Discusses Some Different Features of Sum-
 day School Work

To the Sunday school workers of Independence County:
 This week, 1 wish to say few words in regard to Sunday School Institutes. 1 talked with Bro. Luf- kin, General Secretary of our state association during our recent county convention at Newark, in regard to holding a series of Sun- day school institutes in this coun- ty. Later, the subject was dis cussed by number of our local workers, and 1 had some cores pondence with our state head quarters in regard to 1t, but my illness during December and Jan- uary made 1t necessary to drop the work for some weeks. But l again took up the matter, and while we have been delayed, others have been arranging for work, so that in letter recently received from Bro. Lufkin, he informs me that it will be impossible to send a worker to this county until after the state convention, which will be held at Batesville April Is, 16, 17, as their time is already occu- pied until that date.
 He states that he wants to plan with us for some work in this county later. We shall try to ar range for a series of institutes during the summer, perhaps in July or August. In the meantime with the opening of spring, l hope to see each Sunday school in the county take on new life. Lift up your eyes and look upon the fields, for they are white already to har- vest"
 Let us hope, and work, and pray, that through the agency of the Sunday schools, a great har- vest of souls may be gathered in- to the Masters Kingdom, before this year closes.
 l am very anxious to see town ship associations organized and a convention held in each township in the county within the next three months.
 Two such associations have al- ready been organized, embracing Black River, Dota, Logan, Big Bottom, Magness and Wycough townships. If any of the other townships have organized we have no record of it.
 If any pastor, superintendent or other interested party in any of the unorganized townships will write me, 1 shall be glad to give such information and help as l am able in order to form an effective organization.
 But one says What is the use of such organization?"
 The following, given as true story, aptly illustrates their use fitness:
 In the town of Hastings, N. D. lived a mother with a three-year- old boy. The busy mother thought the child was playing in the house, but when she called, there was no answer-th the child had strayed away. The mother searched the premises in vain. She went to the neighbors across the street, but no child was to be found. She then raised the cry of Lost Boy" The neighbors came in to help. They went round and round looking for

put forth SO that none Of those who
look forward to the event with antici-

TO BUILD ROADS IN LINCOLN.
Farmers Relieved Of Anxiety by Board
OF County Commissioners.


Lincoln. Kan, Dec. 9.!Those who
have been waiting patiently and hope
fully for three or four months or more
for the county commissioners to take
some definite action ON county roads
will not have to wait any longer. At
the regular monthly meeting held Mon
day and Tuesday of this week the coun-
ty roads were laid out. A few more
roads may be designated later, but in
the main the roads decided upon this
week include all the roads between the
market centers of the county and those
of adjoining counties
This action Of the commissioners will
be heartily welcomed by everyone in
Lincoln county who IL interested in
good roads, and that means practically
everyone who has any travelling to do
either by wagon, buggy or automobile.
The county road fund contains at the
present time about $500 and this sum
will be used on the various roads which
were designated by the commissioners.
Some Of the roads are in first class
condition now and will not need any
work, while others will be worked as
soon as the weather permits and will
be put in as good condition az possible.
Beside the regular road fund that has
been created by the commissioners
there is available about 81 500 collected
on automobile licenses, and this money
will be used in dragging the county
roads and maintaining them as the law
provides.
