make use of the rod in his hands,
Mrs. Curtis splendid lecture was pro-
fusely illustrated with the recital of
many incidents from her own ex-
| perlence as we'll as that of other S.
;. workers and was as bright and en-
tertalning as it was instructive.
tuesday evening at the opening of
the session, fifty-one delegates from
oyt OF town had registered. The
Christian church was filled to it's
capacity before the hour for opening
the service arrived. Song service led
by Rev. H. A. Frye was followed by a
devotional service conducted by Rev.
w. 1. Williams. Mr.. John King of
the Christian church extended cor
dial welcome to the delegates which
was responded to by M. e. Nofziger
OF swanton; Mr.. Nofziger express
ed his appreciation of what he term
ed real welcome to a real conyen-
ton in real city.
President Griffin announced the
names of those who We're to serve on
the committees on Resolutions and
nominations, the offering was taken
and the Mems chorus of the Methodist
church sang two selections which
were thoroughly enjoyed by all those
present. 1t was a great inspiration
to see and hear this group of business
men who by their presence and par
tlcipation in the exercises were show
ing their active interest in Sunday
School work.
The address of the evening was Civ
en- by Myron T. Settle, Sunday School
worker of Cleveland, and the address
was well worth hearing.
Mr.. Settle spoke of the county
Sunday School convention as fur
nlshing an opportunity for all the de-
nominations to get together; here
they meet on common-ground, hav-
ing interests and work and purposes
IN common, and realize that they are
all one body of Christians.
Mr.. Settles theme was qThe
Teacher and The Training of the
Teacher" He pointed out the fact
that the teacher was the one essential
and most important part of the Sum
day School and so directed attention
to the importance of properly trained
teachers. That training should con-
sist of two elements, Knowledge and
Motive. The training in Knowledge
Mr.. Settle divided in three parts, viz,
"The Whom;" trained to know their
pupils, as individuals, to know what
the pupils know in order to teach
what they do not know.
"The What;" trained to know the
Bible and to know it thoroughly. The
teacher must know before he can
teach.
"The How" that is the technique
or methods of teaching. But with all
this knowledge the teacher will fail
of the highest success if he has not
motive, passion, a love for the work
and burning desire to accomplish,
through and by this work, for the
kingdom of Christ.
~ Wednesday Sessions.
Wednesday sessions continued the
enthusiasm of Tuesday and increased
it, more delegates came in during the
forenoon and there was a goodly COM
pany of Sunday schol workers who
turned out for the early morning pray
er service conducted by Rev. A. E.
Wilmer of Archbold at six o'clock.
D. E. Cofbin of Delta led the song SER
vice at $3.50 and Wauseon people who
were present were glad to look in
the face of DR.. Daniel Carter and
hear his voice as he led in the devo-.
tional service which followed the ser
vice of song. DR.. Carter was pastor
of the Methodist church Of Wauseon
