them. Mr.. Barker offered the reso-
luton that the legislature be asked to
submit vote on the Prohibition
Amendment In March 1918. He also
offered the resolution that we try In
every way to bring about a better OBJ
servance OF the Sabbath. Owing to
the lateness of the hour Rev. Waites
address was postponed until after
noon the delegates assembling at l
O'Clock to hear him on the subject,
-Four in One" He said that the spir-
itual life was fourfold, when we en-
phasize the spiritual and neglect to
emphasize and develop the mental,
physical and social sides of the pu-
pills nature we will not develop a
well-rounded spiritual life.
Conference on the various phases of
Sunday School work took the place of
the general convention session In the
afternoon. Helpful and interesting
suggestions were given. At the Ele-
mentary Conference the Importance
Of the trained teacher was emphasized
and suggestions made as to how
teacher could better fit herself for her
work. There was fine exhibition of
hand-work and many helpful devices.
One Of the especially good things at
the Secondary Conference was the ad-
dress by Mr.. Welch of Newport the
President Of the Campbell County AS
sociation, whose untiring efforts have
placed his county among the first in
Sunday School work. Mr.. Welch said
that for twenty-three years he had
been travelling over the state as
business man and that his chief con-
cern had been to keep away from
things spiritual but few years ago
he became interested In the Sunday
School work and now the wonder to
him was how any man could stay out
of the Sunday School. AS ye scribe
has not yet learned to be in more
than two places at once 1t Is not pos
sible for us to give any information
about the third conference.
People who think that Sunday
School folks don't have any fun
should have been at the M. e. Church
last night. One of the features to
which alb look forward with eager an
ticipation is the officers supper. This
is given by the State Association as u
complement to the faithful county
and district officers. The Sunday
School room had been transformed
into a bower of beauty with its de-
corations of autumn leaves and the
baskets of gorgeous dahlias on the
tables. After the long auto-ride all
were ready to do justice to the good
things which the ladies had prepared.
To say that Hal Curran was the
toast-master renders 1t unnecessary
to stay that there was not dull mo-
ment. Toasts were proposed to the
family and its various members, the
family of course being the county or
ganization. At each plate was an at
tractive place-card in the shape OF q
tree bearing the title "Our Family
Tree" The branches and twigs rep
represented the various members Of
the family, while the colored fruits
which hung upon them were found
upon close inspection to be the but
tons representing the various depart
ments. Would that time and space
permitted the giving of all the toasts
in detail and that it were possible to
reproduce in cold type the manner
and expression of the toasters. The
names of speakers and subjects will
have to suffice.

Rev. Stahl led the evening devotion
al service. The High School Glee
Club sang several selections. Those
High School boys and girls have been
a great help in the convention. Prof
Roper and Rev. Waite who were pres
ent at the morning exercises at the
school and who played and spoke for
the students said they never had
finer time in their lives. They said
our boys and girls were great. We've
always known that but we like to
hear other folks say 30.
DR.. Banks of Winchester was the
first speaker Of the evening. He said
that preaching has two elements-the
inspirational and the teaching. The
inspirational Is to provoke people to
desire to do and to have the thing
WHICH you uO anu nave. DuI lhCh
is no use inspiring folks to do things
unless you teach them how.
OF the many fine musical numbers
rendered during the convention none
was more enjoyable than the quartet
by the Baraca Glass of the Baptist
Church.
A telegram Of greeting from the
Maryland Sunday School Association
was read. The Secretary Of the Mary
land Association, Rev. Morris Fergu-
