Service

The annual Ohio conference of old
. er boys, older girls, and young people
opened Friday night with two meet
ings; one for older boys and young
men, at the Presbyterian church, and
one for older girls and young women,
at the Church of Christ.
These were preliminary meetings,
with the emphasis placed upon the
meaning of the conference.
The Girls Meeting
After an enthusiastic song service
at the girls meeting, scripture les
son on friendliness was read by Mrs.
Mayer, the assistant state superin-
tendent of young people.
Rev. Long, pastor of the Church of
Christ, gave the address welcoming
the girls to Mt. Vernon, to the heart of
Ohio, and spoke of the pleasure which
it gives the people of Mt. Vernon to
entertain the young peoples division.
The response was given by Miss
Elsie Triplett of Akron, the president
of the girls, conference, who then in
troduced Mr.. Mayer, the new state
superintendent Of young peoples
work, and Mr.. Alexander, who is su-
perintendent of the international
young peoples division.
Mr.. Alexander greeted Tie girls and
gave short talk on What Are You
sGoing to Be Ten Years From Now?
He spoke of how one could tell how
a girl would look in ten years if he
knew what she ate, but even more
particularly could one tell how gifl
will look in 10 years if he knew what
she was thinking about. He begged
them not to lead flower-pot life.
Miss Triplett then chose a nomi-
mating committee, committee to
prepare greetings to send to the boys
meeting and one to prepare a pro-
gram of work to be done during the
year.
Miss Bose, who has been at the
head of the girls work in Alabama,
but who is at present working in AL
ALBANIA, was next introduced
She spoke ON "Why We Are Here"
explaining the work of the World Sun
day School association and the inter.
national work. This conference is to
give an opportunity for the girls to
talk together, work together and plan
together to make our Sunday school
more effective, to be a place to gain
inspiration, enthusiasm and informa-
tion. But after it is all over, we are
to remember that it is not all done,
it is only said.
Mr., Mayer then introduced some of
the girls who had attended the sum-
mer school at Lake Geneva, and af-
terwards spoke of some of the plans
for the conference
After song, the meeting was ad-
journed with prayer by Mrs. Curtis.
1t is hoped that as many of the
young people as can attend will come
to these meetings, for they will be
welcomed, If they are not accredited
delegates, and these meetings are a
source of inspiration and greatly
worth while.
