The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1915-11-19
Sunday School superintendent Gain
by Meeting.

Superintendents' Meeting which was
held in Hartford on November 70,
we hereby extend TO the kind ladies
of all the churches in town our sim
cere thanks for their delicious pies
and also TO the ones who were so
thoughtful as to come TO the church
and help serve the pies at dinner time
do we extend our appreciation. May
you all live long and useful lives.
We can't refrain from also thank
Ing the loyal superintendents, pas
tors and Sunday School workers, who
attended and helped to make this
/ meeting profitable. We trust you
will come again next April, when we
have the next meeting, for If posi-
BILE something will be OH the pro-
gram that will interest and profit
you. To the superintsndcnts who
were not there we can only say that
we were very sorry, for the meeting
was profitable from beginning to end
as about SIS questions bearing direct
ly on the Sunday School were ably
answered.
The first one, "Can n country Sun
day School be run the year through
successfully" fell to Mr.. Horace
Taylor, and he rather indicated that
It could not, but DR.. Ford and Mr..
Fair landed some pretty strong argu-
ment on Mr. Taylor, until We felt for
him, but he said pile her on, my
shoulders are broad. In fact, we be-
| lieve that they almost converted Mr.
Taylor, as they showed that we had
church and Sunday School the whole
winter through and why not Sunday
School?
DR.. Ford also said now is really
the best time to start Sunday
School. as the nights are long and
people have more time to study.
Really, is this not true? Why not
start our Sunday Schools this time
on January LIST, instead of April list?
At least, if any have gone into winter
quarters.
Mr.. Henry Carson and Bro. Ma
pier, also gave some very strong in
formation on how to observe Decis-
ion day, and Bro. Franks gave very
strong answer to the question:
How to keep the Sunday School
up?" He said when you ring the
bell, have something on the table.
The question, How to keep class
orderly" was very ably answered by
Mrs Horace Taylor, as follows: BE
positive and orderly yourself"
SHOULD the Sunday School be
opened two times alike in a year,"
was answered by faithful soul who
came tweleve miles through the wind
and mud, we think very appropriate
ly. He said it should not. Mr.. Har-
d.: ""SSs right. for by changing the
program often, you are always keep
ing new food on the table when the
IL rings.
also gave some very
Mr.. Tichenoi - ,.,.;o. 90 .,,o
valuable points on the IT, ' AZ
superintendent, as well as many u..-
er questions. Still DR.. Ford, /
think, changed his views just little.
on the special duties of the superini
tendent as TO opening the school.
Mr.. Tichenor first claimed the SUI
perintendent should always open,
but DR.. Ford argued that the superin-
tendent should yio as little, and get
every one else in school to do as
much as possible. Mr.. Tichenor II
na.iy agreed this to be good plan.
On Sne question, should the Sunday
School have a motto?" Mr.. Horace
TAYLOR said il should and some APP
propriate mottos were given. Mr..
Fair. superintendent of the Baptist
Sunday School, OF Hartford, we
think. added very beautiful eXpe-
rience while we were on this ques-
ton. He said, I'VE have no motto, but
we have a salute, and as | came down
the street this morning a little boy
saluted me by raising his hand and
in reply waved a salute back to
him. This looks good 10 me. There
are many things of different kinds
we can gain from each other by
meeting together and exchanging
plans and ideas. OF course, the Sun
day School meeting is very grateful
for the services rendered by both
of our good papers. How could we
! get along without them?'
1.-THE man who whispers down well
About the goods he has to sell
Won't reap the cleaning, golden dol
lars,
Like one who climbs a tree and hol-
lers."
This is common sense. and strong
proof that we can profit very much
by advertising. Ii you want to
