Medina COUNTY
SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES
(By DR.. G. H. Smith)

Due to extreme illness and auto
accidents the County Sunday Schools
supervision has been sadly neglected.
All townships are fully organized
with the exception Of five, namely,
Brunswick, Harrisville, Liverpool,
Spencer and Homer. Active plans
are under way to place these town
ships in working order with a strong
organization in the field.
The townships which are fully or
ganized have splendid officers. we
aim to take little space in the
PAPER and let our Sunday school
folks know who is who in the county
organization. Want to let our people
know who our township presidents
are as on them hangs the success or
failure of the townships.
Guilford township has for it's pres
ident Rev. G. H. L. Beeman, pastor
of Seville Presbyterian church, who
has served this charge one and a half
vears-served three years in Akron,
three in Orville and was an active
Sunday school worker in Wayne
county. Graduated from Wooster
University in 1892. Once in a while
YOU find a pastor who is an extra
strong Sunday school man and Bee
man is that type-in the harness all
the time and willing to do his share
of the work without a kick Of any
kind.
Granger township has elected q
Young man for president, Mr.. Carl
Beechler by name. A, fellow who is
alive and awake all the time and a
member of the M. E. church at
Granger, assistant of Sunday school
member of the Y. M. c. A., attending
the convention at Canton in the inter
est of the Y.M.C.A.
Through his agressiveness ne Sc
cured three young people to attent
the State Secondary convention a
Columbus, namely Miss Esther lndoe
Mrs. Irene Nettleton and Allel
| Kuder. :,
| One delegate who attended tn
Secondary Conference at Columbus II
November said on returning, Iha
conference was worth one half tern

had twice the number.
Medina county is losing goo
Sunday school worker. Our Sec
ondary superintendent W. E. Porte,
who has purchased a farm nea
Elvria will move there very soon.
. A new superintendent for this mos
important division will have to be Sc
lected very soon as the plans are t
have the largest Secondary conven
. ton this year ever. With each town
} ship having a good live superinter
e dent who lists every young man an
p woman, there is reason OF reneWe
activity in this department.
D 1t happens that on the Executiv
: Committee of the County Associatio
. we have an expert Bible student.
. would like our Sunday school folks
D make use of this member OF the con
4 mittee and if there is any question o
4 the Bible which is not made clear
. your Sunday school hour, ask us an
: they will be answered through tn
Z column. No names will be publishe
D. unless desired and some one may nee
5 light on some phases Of the Bible.
n Sharon township officers met at tf
home of their secretary, Mrs. Mar
Dunn, and selected their divisions
superintendents. More will be sa
about Sharon later and the 9TH

Sharon-they are alive and up al

more than that.
