SUNDAY SCHOOL
COUNTY MEETING
Convention Next Tuesday and
Wednesday at Presbyterian
Church.

The Kandiyohi County Sunday
School convention will this year con-
Vene here at Willmar next Tuesday
| and Wednesday, November 18th and
18th. This is an annual affair in each
county thruout the state, but owing
| to the multiplicity of activities de-
handing the attention of the people
| during the last year, this branch of
work suffered, and no convention of
the kind has been held in this county
| since two years ago.
A few months ago Rev. Swan W..
Madison was appointed as County
President by the state Office, and IN
| der his direction able and experience
| ed Sunday School workers have been
secured to address the convention at
| every session. The opening session
will be held at the Presbyterian
church on Tuesday afternoon, at one
thirty o'clock while the evening ses-
sion will be held at the Swedish Bap-
| fist church and the morning session on
Wednesday at the Swedish Mission
| church.
This organization is a part of the
| international Sunday School Associa-
ton. State, County and District Sun
| day School Associations are organiza-
| tons of Sunday School banded to-
| gether for the purpose of extending
and deepening Sunday School inter-
est and activity, for the development
of observation-disclosures fellowship, de-
nominational loyalty, the exchange OF
| ideas and the enlisting of co-opera-
| ton in efforts of common interest, in
spring workers to do the best work
| in their own church. without assum-
ing any authority over them, or in any
way interfering with the work or
| rights of the denomination Of which
they are part.
by means OF these conventions, men
who have wide experience in Sunday
school work bring to the representa-
tives of the county Sunday Schools
methods and suggestions which have
been found valuable in other fields;
the Sunday School workers of the
county are given an opportunity to ex-
change new ideas and experiences
which have been worked in the local
| field, and the inspiration such a gath
erlng gives new force and impetus
| to the workers who attend. Every
Sunday School ought to be represent
cd by one or more delegates at this
| convention, thus giving the Sunday
0SA0OA TOA n VI LAc COuuIy q SLTOng
stimulus for better work.
