We plead guilty to the charge oil
negffgence-proriding anybody has
made the charge-in not writing
sooner. as we had quite budget of
important news, but we have been
so busy VIC could scarcely get time.
The annual convention OF the
Winfield District Sunday School AS
ISOLATION held here In the N. f.

very successful convention and IN
some points, as to general pract'rn
bility, 1t established a new high
water mark for conventions in this
district. II Is always expected a,
these affairs that there will be mucl.
OF mre hot air and that many long.
winded speakers will avail them
selves OF the opportunity to show off
their oratorical abilities to an u.s.
uaily patient and long-suffertng pub
lie, but at this convention this NUS,
ance was reduced to minimum and
the regular speeches were marked
by their zeal, practicabiiity and ap,
plicability to Sunday school work,
and much time was given by actual
Sunday school workers of the dis
trict to discussion of the problems
confronting them.
