Wednesday noon the women of
the different churches in town
served lunch to the delegates, Wis
itors and all who went to the
hall. There was plenty to eat
and between $50 and 200 were
served. The women proved
again that they might all be
graduates Of a domestic science
school. The lunch was quickly
Sawed but no one seemed in a
hurry to leave the hall as it
proved to be such an enjoyable
place.
In the afternoon and evening
the programs were again carried
out on schedule time. A good
many short interesting and in
structive talks were given. Mr..
and Mrs. Snow have great
many good ideas about how to
carry on a Sunday school sue
cessfully and there is no. doubt
but the schools in this county
will be benefited by the talks
given by them and others.
A great deal is due the presid-
ent and secretary of the associ-
alton in making the convention
a success. They were busy for
several months getting reports
ready and getting all the rchools
in the county Lined up according
to the standard set by the state
association.
The delegates who did not
come in autos, were entertained
at the different homes in town.
The next county convention
will be held at Garrison. Wilton
made a strong plea for the con-
vention and hope to be successful
in getting it next time.
The music added greatly to
the success of the programs. A
large choir sang both evenings
besides number of pleasing
specials numbers by local and
outside talent. u
The amount Of money offered
by each Sunday school and that
collected during the convention
amounted to $186.O2. This sum
will be used to carry on the
work during the coming year.
The following resolutions were
read at the close Of the conven-
tion:
l. Whereas we have enjoyed
the previlege of holding this an
nual session Of the I Mclean
County Sunday School conven-
ton in Washburn, the city Of at
tainment and county seat, there
fore be it
Resolved, that we appreciate
the efforts Of the President of
the convention and his able staff
of assistant officers, in arrang-
ing the program which has made
for our intellectual and spiritual
enrichment, and also for the
thoughtful provision for our
physical comfort.
That we appreciate the hear
ty and cordial response Of the
people Of Washburn who have
opened wide the doors Of their
homes and made US welcome

Poisonous matter clogged in the in
