DIR. Richardson of Northwestern.

The Sunday School Training School
which opened at Grenada College on
Thursday Of last week came to a close
Wednesday.
The interest has been excellent and
Rev. j. E. Stephens, who has been
acting as director, is highly pleased
with the work accomplished. Other
church leaders associated with Mr..
stephens express equally satisfactory
opinions of the work Of the school,
Not only has almost every feature
Of Sunday School work been very in
telligently discussed, but the main
thing that has been emphasized has
been Bible study. The instructors
have been live wires, among whom
may be mentioned Rev. E. S. Lewis. of
Greenville and Mrs. J. NJ. Wyatt, of
Shelby. Quite large number of the
ministers from different parts of the
Conference have been present and
have shown a remarkable interest in
the work accomplished. The ladies,
as in all good work, have been promi-
nent. Many of the younger people
have been present to get the benefit
of the lectures as we'll as the course
of Bible study.
The diplomas were awarded We'd
nesday morning and in making their
delivery there were many inspiring
and wholesome things said and in
functions given which showed that
the church leaders are desperately in
earnest in getting better informed
and better equipped Sunday School
leadership.
DR.. Norman E. Richardson, head of
the chair of Theology in Northwestern
University at Evanston, ILL.,, has been
present during the entire session and
his lectures and addresses have
proven to be one of the most attrac-
tive features of the School. DIR.
Richardson filled the pulpit at the
Methodist church Sunday, and it has
been a long while since sermon ex-
cited more favorable comment than
his. Ee has CHARMED his heasers az
all times. There is a beauty in the
very simplicity of what he says that
carries conviction and compels at
tention. There is an artlessness in
his addresses that can but please and
his logic will bear the closest scrutiny.
He is a man gentle of manner and
persuasive in person and talks about
things that he KNOWS about. The
Sentinel gladly reenforces the paper
bearing nearly one hundred sigma
lures which was presented at the Col
lege auditorium Tuesday night ex-
pressing the earnest wish that he
would be secured for the School for
1923.

Epworth League enthusiasts count
/ great deal on the results of the
Conference and are counting on an
Ipworth League awakening through

Ieaguers are enthusiasts all along the
