Today" Miss Dance talked upon The

things she said teacher must do to
be successful: must be reverent and
trained must remove all distractions;
must be well prepared on lesson; must
present II in right manner, and draw
conclusion about 1t. In preparation
get facts and historical settings. II
elementary teacher must be able to tell

In the One Minute Talks by Superin-
tendents and delegates, some thought
the best thing in their Sunday Schools
was the number of souls that were
| brought to accept Christ, others, that
the training of the little children, etc.
| Mr.. Stones address was principally
on THE Purpose of the Sunday School.
Religious training was one of its chief
purposes. If properly conducted we
would be doing Christ's will in Christ
| ian service. We will get Inspiration;
| learn to Worship; be instructed on
Communion and Evangelistic Work.
Solo by Mrs. Skene, and another
story by Miss Dance on Palace Made
| by Music" In this she showed to us
that we could do things that had often
been tried and failed If we would only
have patience and try with earnest
effort not only that we may be openly
rewarded but for the sole purpose of
doing good, not fearing lest some one
else may get or share the honor.
The Rev. Frederick Shannon, of New
York, talked upon Sunday School
Evangelism" You know this was
great, but he told of how he heard a
bird offering gratitude to God for its
food and showed thereby how grateful
gress. He said consecrated christian
lied personality is the first require
Iment for teacher, then illustrated how
we all would sometimes shirk our duty
even though we do seem consecrated
in not going out after more to teach
or to try to lead to God. When sou
is born anew his personality becomes
changed, and il he goes out after other:
as he should his environment becomes
changed also. We may do Sunda,
School Evangelism anywhere we are
in our homes, stores, shops, etc, ant
God wants us to do so.
Mr.. Roll Burns commented upon Mis-!
Dances story and spoke very earnestl,

! reading. He said he had read 4
through since last convention and i
the Lord permitted him to live HI
, would read il through again before thu
next convention.
I Rev. A. M. Dial talked upon "Sunda.
| School and Missions" He said ant
proved that everything that succeeds
in Christian work has much to do with
missions. In West Virginia where the!

Foreign Missions in one year besides
Home and State Missions.
