CHILD WELFARE
CONFERENCE OPENS

Although the attendance was small
at the meeting OF the Child Welfare
and Home Efficiency Conference of
the Waterville- Winslow Child We'll
fare League, which opened Sunday
afternoon at O'Clock at the City OPP
era House. the audience was appre-
ciative and the speeches were of es-
pecial interest. The subject was the
child, and the pastors in the city were
the speakers, as their subjects had to
deal with church work. Music was
furnished by quartette. which was
very good. The meeting opened with
prayer by Rev. Benjamin Beatty of
the Getchell Street church. Dr. Ar
thur S. Phelps talked on How to
Make Sunday an Enjoyable Day to
the Children" He gave many illus
trations. and urged that the parents
should insist on their children at
tending the church services and on
Sunday TO observe the day as the
Lords Day He said that il prayer
and love would not help. that perhaps
a stick might help to make them 60
but at any rate the day should be OBJ
served by children as well as the old
er ones. He stated that on Sunday
books pertaining to the Bible. games,
stories and such that were on the re-
ligious line would help to make them
realize and appreciate the day, that
on Sunday they should be given
candy, anS enjoy other things that
they were deprived of during the
week. and by doing this that they
would have more of a desire to at
tend services.
How to Make Church Life More
Attractive to Boys and Girls" by
Rev. W. r. Pierce, Of the Methodist
Church, was interesting to the audi
ence. He insisted that the child did
that if they were uneasy in church it
was no sign that they should be kept
away. He suggested special services
to the children preceding the regular
sermon. and insisted that Of the two
he thought that church was more
important to the child than Sunday
school. Herbert Emery gave a talk
on How TO Conduct Sunday School
on Sound Financial Basis" and the
talk was Of importance and inter-
est. Rev. c. A. knickerbocker. of the
Universalist church gave fine and
stirring talk on Why Trained
Teachers Are Necessary to Teach the
Bible" He said that onl- teachers
who were trained should be allowed
to teach. for those who did not know
about children and have the care Of
them were not efficient teachers. He
did not think that compelling the
child to go to church or Sunday
school would help them and that the
parents had a great deal to do with
il. Rev. Charles Robinson Of the
Congregational church gave the clos
ing address on The Carey and NAL
den Methods Of Teaching the Bible"
Rev. H. ]. Tetreault Of the Second
Baptist church gave the benediction.
The program for the Monday ses-
sion will be held at O'Clock at Lib
