smoke the first cigarette.
Rev. w. A. Snow then pronounced
the Benediction on the County conven-
ton at Donnybrook and which has
been the best convention held in Ward
county.
In closing it might be well to state
that during the whole convention the
talk and plans Of nearly all delegates
was about the State convention at
Minot in 1915 and it was the concen-
sus of opinion that the coming State
convention should be the largest ever
held in North Dakota.
Girls Conference.
The Girls Conference conducted at
the M. E. church on Friday afternoon
by Mrs. Snow and Miss Moxcey was
the most solemn and impressive SER
vice of the whole convention.
Miss Helen Thompson, a member of
the Count-on-Me class at Minot, read
very clever and instructive paper on
organized class work and told few
of the many practical things her class
has done. A paper, written by Miss
Johnson of Douglas, was also read on
"A Newly Recognized Civic Force"
Miss Moxcey then talked on "The Ev-
cry Day Life of the Girl" holding up
the the girls the gracious ideal" they
should strive to reach in such beau
tiful way that the hearts of all pres
ent were touched. In the beautiful
Forward Step Service, Mrs. Snow i'm
pressed upon the girls the necessity
of and the beauty in life of service
l. for Jesus Christ. This service could
not but have vast influence on the
life of every one of the fifty or sixty
girls present.
Report of Committee on Resolutions.
Whereas, the people of Donnybrook
have so royalty entertained this
Eighth Annual Ward County S. S.
Convention, therefore be it resolved,
first, that we express our hearty ap-
probation by a rising vote of thanks.
(The rising vote was unanimous to
this resolution).
Resolved, second, that the commit
tee endorses the efficient work done by
Rev. and Mrs. Walter A. Snow and
Miss Mary Moxcey.
Resolved, third, that this convention
appreciates the splendid work done
by Mrs. J. G. Webster in the Element
airy Department, which has helped to
make Ward county famous in the an
nails of Sunday school work through
out the state and we regret that she
has left us to take up the work in
Grand Forks county. u.
Whereas, we are living in day
when the Sabbath is in danger of be-
coming one big joy ride and the at
tendance at Gods house is therefore
by many neglected, be it resolved that
this convention enthuse greater in
terest in the Robert Raikes seven year
perfect attendance diploma to counter
act these detrimental influences.
