ECONOMY, Ind, Dec. 6.-Readings
from the Bible should be the influence
which molds the childs mind in the
critical years before the twelfth or
thirteenth birthday when impressions
are gained which last life time. This
was the opinion expressed last night at
a Methodist Sunday school conference
for the Richmond district, by Mrs.
Mary Foster Briner, of Chicago. More
than 100 persons from other towns
were present.
Reports made for the first eight
months Of the conference year show
an increase of 635 new members and
$4,000 worth Of building in the con-
ference district. Offerings have in
creased in the churches and finances
are generally better, exemplified by
the fact that 80 of 3S churches in the
district have their pastors salary
paid to date, an unusual proportion.
Rev. J. A. Beatty. superintendent Of
the Muncie district, declared the
church to be the most valuable insti.
tuition. His subject was How to Make
the District Effective" Rev. J. V.
Thompson and Rev. w. s. Bovard were
chairmen Of two conferences which fol-
lowed. Both made short addresses.
