The annual meeting of the Grant
County Sunday School convention.
which was held at the Methodist
church in this city last Saturday and
Sunday was one of the most interest
ing and profitable held in several
years, largely due to the efforts of
DR.. G. H. Lowtfian, who has been
acting president, and the efficient Sec
retary, Miss Laura Schiefelbein. Mr..
G. /. Kemper of Aberdeen business
college, a layman who is intensely in
terested in Sunday school work, 4
past president of the state associa-
ton, and superintendent of the large
Methodist Sunday School in Aberdeen,
gave fine address in the afternoon,
showing that the Sunday School pro-
position was one of the most impor-
tant factors in the success of Chris
tian life, that it could be promoted
only by intelligent and active efforts
or the part of those who believed in
its necessity and usefulness. A sue
cessful salesman must know his goods
and believe lin them if he is to be
fully successful, and the advocate and
Sunday School worker must be SINH
larry equipped if he succeeds in Great
ing demand for the Sunday School.
On Sunday, MIR. j. F. jenkins, the
state president OF the association, and
superintendent Of the Sunday school
at Carthage, occupied the pulpit of the
Congregational church, and in the at
ternoon presented the subject Of adult
classes in the Sunday School, the
necessity for them and the work of
building them up.

association, G. w. Miller of Huron,

tion and gave stirring addresses both

tance of Christian education, in which
