A continuation Of brief report Of

Douglas, N. D., June 24-25.
From Mrs. Seeds address upon
Teacher Training: First Of all, she
spoke of many Sunday schools with
out competent leaders. She explained
how this could be overcome entirely
thru the teacher training class. Mrs.
Seed gave very fitting illustration
in regard to Sunday school worker
working without sufficient ability or
knowledge Of their duties. She said
be sure your sins would find you out,
just as man once went to dentist
to have tooth examined: After a
careful examination the dentist said,
your former dentist has covered up =
multitude of sins, because he did not
do you a competent job. II he had un-
derstood his profession you would have
a sound tooth today. As it is he COW
cred up his sin for time and now
your tooth is gone. How easily soma
Of US Sunday school teachers, by our
lack Of Biblical knowledge may be-
covering up sin by not teaching our
class properly.
Mrs. Seed gave some very concrete
examples along the line Of missions.
These illustrations I will not attempt
to try to repeat, as one had to be at
the convention to receive full value
from this address.
In the evening Rev. Greene gave
very interesting stereoptican address

joyed by all
