The Odeon made ten strike when
II secured Helen Ware In Secret Love"
for the weekend attraction. for GER
tainly no star 10 more popular In Rich
mond nor has any star ever been sup
piled with a play more TO the liking
of tho patrons and the actor. The
story is so natural. Is told 80 simply
and 10 yet so compelling that 1t would
indeed be a captious audience that
would not be pleased. However, crowded
houses attested to both the ecelience
Of the play and the capabilities of the
star yesterday. Incidentally Frank
Daniels proved funny to superiative
degree In the comedy offered as an
added attraction at the Odeon.

having been levied upon his property
and returned to me, it is therefore or

paper published in Selmer, McNairy

Sunday School Conventions
May 20, 1916.

May 20, 1916.
Editor Independent:
viii you please publish the fol-
lowing appointments for Sunday
School Convention to be held by the
McNairy and West Hardin County
Sunday School Association and dis
trlcts, towit:
The County Convention. at Adams
vile, July % and %.
First District Convention. at Che
walla, June IL.
Second Dist. Convention at Sandy
Flatt June 4.
Third Dist. Convention at Shiloh,
M. E. Church South. June Is.
Fourth Dist. Convention, not yet
fixed, but it will be before the County
Convention to be held al Adamsville.
The County Convention at Adams
vile will be an interesting meeting.
the entire program being suggested
by the State Secretary, Hon. Joseph
Carthel, and he will be in the conven-
ton full time.
The District Conventions are also
likely to be of great interest to the
local communities and the respective
districts.
Each of the district conventions is
to be held on Sunday with all day
program, but the forenoon will be de-
voted to the regular Bible School at
the convention church, with sermon
at the morning hour by the pastor,
but the sermon will be along Sunday
School lines and will be both educa-
tional and inspirational.
The afternoon will be given entire
ly to convention work and business
matters, with single speech on the
Sunday School work and influence by
some strong speaker selected for that
purpose. This speech and the bust
ness of the convention will complete
the afternoon program.
If for any reason the pastor at any
convention church cannot attend or
deliver the sermon or address asked
for on Sunday School then that hour
may be given to a number of short
inspiration speeches by local or visit
ing speakers.
At the district conventions as well
as at the county convention there
will be much valuable literature in
the way of charts, leaflets and Sunday
School helps for free distribution and
this is no small feature of the con-
vention. Everybody is invited to all
the conventions and every school is
urged to tave some representative
and a full Report present.
