Several Of the candidates were among

evening were l.. ]. Hall Of Elkhart.
who is the party's chairman for that
county. He was introduced to the
meeting by the chairman, Otto E.
Lang, progressive nominee for cOun-
ty treasurer, who referred to him as
one of the best organizers in these
parts. Mr.. Hall spoke of the progress
sive movement and the organization
and work being done in Elkhart
county. The movement he stated,
was stronger today in his county than
it had ever been in the past. 1t was
permanent one, and new recruits
We're joining their ranks daily. He
told of the efforts being made TO get
the doubtfuls into line, and of the
successful means being employed in
that direction. The initiative, refer

out OF Sunday school we must remem-

the boy or girl but with the teacher

Others were called upon for reports
on different phases Of the convention.
including Mrs. Deller Of South BEND
on the teachers training department.;
Mrs. Bucks Of South Bend on the
missionary department, and Mr..
Tumble OF Lydick on the home de-
partment. Ralph Bennett Of New
Carlisle gave a general talk.
The survey conducted by Rev.
George y. Burnie consisted OF reports
from the superintendent and officers
Of the various Sunday schools OF each

Importance of Childhood.
In his address on THE Church and
the Child, Mr.. Gardiner said in part:
Jesus Christ was the first great
teacher, who laid emphasis on the i'm
pOrtance OF childhood. The great
teachers Of classical Greece or Rome
did little or nothing for the child. II
remained for the Man Of Galilee to
discover the true value Of the child in
the world. No one can read the New
Testament without being impressed
with the fact that in the sight Of Jesus
Christ the child was OF infinite value.
cit was Jesus Christ who said 'S5uf-
fer the little children to come unto
Me and forbid them not for Of such
is the kingdom OF heaven H. was
Jesus who SAID Except we become
converted and become as little chill
dren We car not enter into the king
dom Of Cod You will remember too
that il was the Christ who when
leaving this world called one of his
disciples TO Him and said Feed my
lambs We have in these latter
words one OF the most emphatic COM
mands Jesus ever gave to disciple
and through his disciple TO the church
How may the church be strength
ened? I answer, the most hopeful
field is the Sunday school We must
seek to win the children to the church
and TO Christ The Sunday school
teacher has an important task to per-
form 1t is her duty not only to in
struct the child in the deep things Of
GOd-it is for her to lead the children
committed to her care to the Lord
Jesus Christ. And let me say that the
most important thing about the teach
er is not what she knows or even what
she SAYS. that counts-it is what she
is IL is character after all in the
teacher that counts for most. The
teacher must know Christ herself be-
fore she can lead her children to
Him
