FIFTH WEEK OF SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONTEST

The reports from the classes show
ed that the best work done during
the contest so far was done the fifth
week. Both counties did splendid
work. All classes seemed to realize
that we were on the "home stretch"
and really put forth some effort.
Franklin County is still gaining.
While Franklin County has not had as
many classes in the Contest as Barry,
yet they are carrying off the honors.
1918 is the largest number of credits
earned by any one class and $40 is the
least number. 1883 is the largest
number of credits earned ty any one
class in Barry county and $50 is the
least. Only one class failed to report
in Franklin county. Eig1t cacses
failed to report in Bar. CO aty FYQ'1
this it is easy to see why Barry cognty
is not making better progress.
