(By J. II. RICHARDsoN.)

'ontioH ior tne press, tne mdtter DelnS
overlooked until 1t was too late Per-
naps they thought the regular writer
of Sunday school notes could do the
Job even though absent from the con-
vention. But 1t Is not such an easy
matter to do justice to such meeting
when not present. However, as many
Of the delegates have been kind
enough to tell us Of the many good
things said and done at the conven-
tion, and also having had the privilege
Of reading over the secretary's notes
we will venture a trial at 1t anyway.
In the first place we are told that
those splendid people at Moransburg
had made usual preparation to enter
tain the convention. Their little
Brick" church was nicely decorated,
adn a most sumptous dinner was serv-
ed in the village school building which
is admirably equipped for such an oc-
caslon. In spite of the fact that the
fact that the convention was attended
by the largest crowd of any such meet
ing in years, there being between
three and four hundred present, after
all had eaten there was still enough
left over to feed multitude. Those
folks don't do things by halves; they
are right there when it comes to en-
tertaining a Sunday school convention.
The program was carried through
with but few changes or variations.
The talks, speeches and addresses
were of the highest order. It was truly
an inspirational convention, The
greatness, the magnitude of the work
before the Sunday schools and the
churches seemed to grip every one
who had any part in the discussions.
Mr.. w: ]. Vaughn of the State AS
sociation field forcel was present and
in his characteristic manner gave
much help and inspiration to the con-
vention. He paid many compliments
to the work being done in Mason coun-
ty. Through the zeal and energy put
forth by the county association officers
and the hearty cooperation of the
schools Mason county is becoming not
ed as one of the best Sunday school
counties in the state. The secretary
had reports from thirty-four of the
forty-three schools - the best report
ever given. All expenses have been
met, the state apportionment overpaid
and a nice balance in the treasury to
begin the new year with.
There was the most representative
crowd that has attended a county con-
vention for years. Usually but a few
schools nearest to the place Of the
convention attend. This time the dele
gates were from all over the county
Then there was more officers and
teachers Of schools present than ever
attended a convention before, there
being at least fifty. This is one Of the
very encouraging signs of progress. il
shows these workers are anxious fol
better work. P.
The committee on nominations was
of the opinion that the officers who are
making the work a success should bt
left undisturbed, so they recommend
ed their reelection. This met witt
the hearty approval Of the convention
The committee on resolutions pre-
scented the following: \
First - Resolved that during thu
coming year more stress be laid upor
the development Of the district work
That a good convention or rally b'
held in each district, and an effort b'
made to have a complete representa-

ginning has been made in the Adul
