CONTEST IN BIBLE MEMoRIzATIoN
At Annual County Sunday School Con-
vention at Montpelier May 8.

p Al the annual conventions of the sun
day school forces in Chittenden, Wash
ington, North and South Windsor coun'
ties this spring, there will be a unique
feature, a contest between the members
of the Sunday schools of these counties
in the mcmorization and recitation of
certain selected passages from the Bible,
A great deal of interest has already been
aroused in the Sunday schools of some OF
these counties, and the memorization con-
test promises to bc not only an interest
ing feature of the conventions, but one
of permanent value To every Sunday
school and to every individual entering
upon IT,
The details of the plan arc announced
by the general secretary of the State
Sunday School association. Rev. c. A.
Boyd OF Burlington, to be as follows;
The members of the junior and inter
mediate classes should be urged to enter
the contest, the girls selecting recitations
and the boys orations. They may make
their own selection. and list of several
appropriate passages for the girls and
for the boys is furnished. A limit of
time is fixed by the school, Judges are
chosen, and at a public gathering the
children deliver the selections learned.
With music interspersed most inter
esting program might be arranged for
Sunday evening.
From those who enter the contest, the
judges select two, one boy and one girl
who lead the others in accuracy of mem
orization and effectiveness OF delivery.
The two who lead the school are to APP
pear again at district meeting, when
they compete with those chosen from the
other schools of the district Again judges

Only One More Sow.

Pork may win the war. At least it viii
help. Our army and our allies require
that we export pork three times as rap.
idly now as we did in pre-war days
Where is this pork to come from? Are
you doing your bit?
Vermont has $4,000 farms Many Of
these have no hogs at all. If only one
brood sow should be added to each farm
in the state and these sows should far
row and raise an average Of only five
pigs each, it would mean an increase of
1872 900 in our hog population. By next
winter these hogs should average $50
pounds each, dressed weight, or total Of
80 500 pounds of pork. This would help
some, would il not, toward supplying
meat for ourselves and our allies and It
would add many dollars to the income
from our farms.
Are you doing your bit Have you
a brood SOW? If not, think it over If
YOU are then particularly interested,
write to your county agent, L. II. Alb
