Sunday School Convention.

The Annual Convention of the Orleans
County Sunday School Association,
which was held at the Baptist church in
Derby on August 30-3l, was a success
from every viewpoint. The floral
decorations were pIofuse and beautiful
and the hospitality of the entertaining
churches was evidenced by the loaded
tables of the two meals which were
served in the vestry of the church. The
addresses were OF high order. The
program was planed by Rev. C.. A.
Boyd, the general secretary, and our
convention was the last on the east side
of the state of series of meetings held
by team of Sunday school workers "a
similar team traversing the west side of
the state at the same time) after the
manner of the Flying Squadron. The
teams were made up of the general
secretaries of the state associations in
New England. Those who came to US
were W. j. Weir of Name and w. |.
Woodin of Connecticut.
The Convention was opened by Rev.
G. A. Boyd, who conducted the service
of worship. Rev. C. E. Gordon well
coined the convention and Rev. G. w.
Douglass, president, made the response.
Mr.. Boyd prefaced his address on 1.-THE
Power of the Trained Teacher" by an
inspiring outline of the program of the
State convention to be held in Richford.
Mr.. Woodin's address in the evening
"Moving in Fence Corners" was very
practical and that of Mr.. Weir, Tuesday
morning, Getting and Holding Men
opened vista of service that was an
inspiration. Mr.. Woodin also gave an
address on The Church's Responsible
ty;" Mr.. Weir, on 1.-The Valve of Or
ganized Effort" and Mrs. Edith Balch
Wright on 1.-THE Sunday Schools Ex-
tension Work" The departmental con-
ference were we'll attended. The sec
rotary announced that 80 of the 81 Sun
day schools in the Association were re-
presented in the convention, four schools
of Essex County having been invited to
unite with US permanently and three of
them having sent delegates to this
gathering. One thing which helped
along the good feeling already prevail
ing was the after-supper feast of stories
and remarks both wise and witty; and
the closing hour, which was used to
press home the salient points given to
US by remarks by the superintendent
and pastors then present impressed the
truths upon our hearts and minds.
Pertinent Questions for the consider
alton of the workers of each Sunday
School are passed along: Has your or
gained class an active devotional COM
mittee or praying band ? If not, why?
Has your mems class forceful pro-
gram for service that attracts men
If not, why not? Does your class un-
dertake the things worth while so that
the need for saying "do not" to
those who are tempted to do the trivial
things that harm, is almost eliminated?
If not, why?
MRS. E. S. KELLEY, Secretary.

Gordon and the plantation owners
daughter Alice, fall in love. In En-
gland Gordon finds in Lord ArbuthOn
formidable rival for the heart Of
the girl he loves. At his first oppor-
tunitY Gordon asks her father for his
consent to their marriage. Egerton's
answer Is that if he will go to Africa
and successfully solve the rubber
shortage he will consent to the mar
riage and give him an interest in the
business. He arrives In Africa and
after series Of thrilling adventures
discovers that the oVerseeer has been
selling rubber to coast traders. A
